Journalists in Ethiopia are gearing up for a media interaction with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Today’s session will be the first ever by the PM since coming into office on April 2, 2018. His chief of staff, Fitsum Arega, announced on Friday that Abiy was due to hold a question and answer session with the media on current affairs, confirming earlier reports in local media. The independently-run Addis Standard portal said the event was to take place at the Prime Minister’s office in the capital Addis Ababa. The PM has occasionally granted interviews to the state-run media outlets like the Ethiopia Broadcasting Corporation.
