According to a Reuters report, the political situation in this African country began to change radically after Abi Ahmed came to power as Prime Minister in 2018.
The two-decade-long bloody conflict with neighboring Eritrea came to an end with his hand. As a result, Abi received the Nobel Peace Prize just one year after coming to power.

Although Abi Ahmed was praised for establishing good relations with his neighbors, he did not take many steps to restore peace in the troubled region of Tigre. Abir was accused of cornering Tigers in the name of massive political reform.
The incident sparked a dispute between the country’s central government and the Tigre People’s Liberation Front Party, which has long held sway in Ethiopian politics. The bloody conflict between the TPLF forces and the Ethiopian central forces began.
