MOGADISHU (HORN OBSERVER) - Dozens of presidents and ambassador have attended the swearing in ceremony of Ethiopia's prime minister Abiy Ahmed following the latter's landslide electoral victory earlier this year.
Abiy took the oath of office, administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice Meaza Ashenafi, on Monday following similar oaths by the speaker and deputy speaker of the parliament’s lower house.
"I, Abiy Ahmed Ali, today in the House of People’s Representatives, accept the appointment as prime minister, as I pledge to undertake responsibly and with faith to the constitution the responsibility placed upon me by the people,” he said.

"Glad to join PM Abiy Ahmed Ali and the people of Ethiopia on this historic inauguration to congratulate the PM & wish the gov't of Flag of Ethiopia success. I firmly believe that African leaders, when working with their people and for the good of their common future, remain an unstoppable force,” Villa Somalia.
