borkenaJune 15,2015Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed held discussion with residents of Dessie on Saturday. He was joined by Deputy Prime Minister, Demeke Mekonen, and the president of Amhra regional State of Ethiopia, Ambachew Mekonen. The residents also expressed their belief that the existing constitution of Ethiopia has opened the door for the potential disintegration of the country and demanded that the government need to amend the constitution. In terms of economic demands, residents raised an increasing number of unemployed youth in the city and infrastructural problems, including road, that Dessie is facing. Abiy’s response was seemingly generic: To decrease the number of unemployed people, development projects need to be completed.
