The Government of Ethiopia is set to establish Ethiopian Diaspora Agency to realize the participation of Ethiopian Diasporas. “Establishing such agency will help to deliver the interest of Diaspora in an organized manner.” he said today, during weekly press statement. The decision has followed Ethiopia’s reformist prime Minister Abiy’s recent visit and discussions with Ethiopian Diaspora in the United States. Ethiopia is estimated to have between 3 to 5 million people in the diaspora of which most are in North America and Europe. The less $400 million remittance the country used to get annually from its diaspora before 2009 has been increasing over the past years.
