Today marks a momentous occasion as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed officially inaugurated the Federal Police Forensic Investigation and Research Center of Excellence.
Just a year and a half prior, the nation found itself dependent on external entities for DNA testing. However, Ethiopia has now proudly established a state-of-the-art institution that not only meets its own DNA-related needs but also extends its services to neighboring countries.
This remarkable development is a testament to the profound reforms we have implemented within the security and safety sector over the years, underscoring our commitment to progress and self-sufficiency.
