Ethiopia’s president Zewde Sahle-Work on Monday said more than 90,000 nationals had returned to the country because of her government’s citizen-centered diplomacy. Sahle-Work, who was appointed to the role in October last year, was delivering her maiden speech to the country’s parliament. These reforms have been cited by several opposition leaders and other Ethiopians who returned from exile, as the reason they have come back home. Prominent Ethiopians that have returned home include members of the Oromo Liberation Front, activists Jawar Mohammed and Mohammed Ademo, and the current electoral commission chief, Birtukan Mideksa. The president added that the country would launch a satelite into space in December this year.
