(Xinhua/Michael Tewelde)ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Former Ethiopian minister Junedin Sado returned home on Monday after close to a decade in exile due to disagreements with the Ethiopian government. Sado, who had served as Ethiopia's minister of transport as well as other high-level government roles, followed the footstep of many other opposition figures, journalists and activists who returned following the government's reconciliation effort. Ahmed also declared an amnesty invitation for exiled politicians, journalists and human right activists to return home and pursue their political activities in a peaceful manner. The ONLF, a rebel group operating in the Ethiopia's Somali regional state, is the latest to declare a unilateral temporary ceasefire.
