The Ethiopian Government will shuffle its cabinet on November 1, 2016, as a response to the current turmoil across the country that has led to the declaration of a state of emergency. The administration of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn hopes the new cabinet will aid in restoring confidence in the government. Tomorrow, Nov. 1, the Prime Minister is expected to appear before Parliament, to present the newly structured administration and nominate ministers. Another major change people familiar with the reshuffling expect is the departure from clusters under the rank of deputy prime ministers. There have been three clusters run by Demeke Mekonnen, the deputy prime minister, and Debretsiyon G. Michael (PhD) as well as Aster Mamo.
