NAIROBI (Reuters) - During a high-level meeting at Ethiopia s foreign ministry in July, officials were shocked by social media reports that their prime minister was visiting Eritrea. But Abiy s unpredictable style annoys some Ethiopians. "None of Abiy s promised transformational reforms are going to have any solid foundations unless he works through the institutions," she said. Nebiat, the foreign ministry spokesman, said Eritrea and Ethiopia had restored diplomatic relations, air links and phone connections. The foreign ministry has been "completely sidelined," said the senior ministry official, adding that "our interests abroad may be jeopardized".
