Article
Abiy Ahmed Ali (Oromo: Abiyi Ahmed Alii; Amharic: ዐቢይ አሕመድ ዐሊ; born 15 August 1976) is an Ethiopian politician who is the current Prime Minister of Ethiopia since 2018 and the leader of the Prosperity Party since 2019.
Abiy joined the rebel forces fighting against the regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam in his teens and after the collapse of the Derg in 1991, became a Lieutenant Colonel in the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF). He served as a military radio operator during the Badme War against Eritrea from 1998 to 2000 and soon after converted to Pentecostal Christianity. He later rose through the ranks of government via the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), which was established in 2006. In the 2010 national election, Abiy became an elected member of the Ethiopian parliament, representing the district of Agaro. He was then elected Prime Minister by the House of Peoples’ Representatives in 2018, following the dissolution of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) which had governed Ethiopia for 28 years.
