AMBO, Ethiopia (Reuters) - Ethiopia's new prime minister pledged on Wednesday to address grievances in his native Oromiya region, centre of violent unrest that threatened the ruling coalition's hold on Africa's second most populous nation.
Abiy Ahmed was sworn in as premier on April 2. His predecessor Hailemariam Desalegn resigned in February, signalling divisions in the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, in power since 1991, over how fast to pursue reforms. [L8N1Q54CN]
