Another top advisor to Ethiopian Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, has resigned from his post. A member of the ruling Ethiopia Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), he has served the government in different capacities including as Minister of Communication. The move comes weeks after two major political shifts around the Prime Minister. The Protocol Chief of the PM, Baye Tadesse Teferi, sought asylum in the United States for fear of political persecution. The Protocol Chief of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn thus quit a role he had served in for over two years.
