Prime Minister Abiy reiterated that the government's doors remain open to all who seek to resolve problems through dialogue and who believe they possess better solutions for the sake of peace in Ethiopia. He acknowledged that differing interests among various groups can lead to both satisfaction and discontent, stressing the critical need for open communication to bridge these divides.
"In Ethiopia's history, no government has ever suggested resolving issues through dialogue," stated Prime Minister Abiy. He emphasized that the very first national consultation in the nation's history has taken place under the current Prosperity Party government, marking a pivotal shift in governance.
The Prime Minister outlined his government's commitment to tackling long-standing challenges through a comprehensive approach encompassing five key frameworks. This strategy includes an inclusive national consultation, which he underscored as unprecedented in Ethiopian history. The other pillars of this initiative are transitional justice, the reintegration of armed groups into society through rehabilitation, multi-sector economic reform, and institutional reform.
In this context, the Prime Minister urged teachers to embrace their crucial role in this ongoing national mission, highlighting their importance in fostering understanding and progress within society.
