Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has asserted that no negotation has taken place between his government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)<\/p>\n
Responding to a question raised by Members of Parliament on Tuesday, Abiy has refuted reports of ongoing talks with TPLF.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard a lot about it. But there has been no negotiation yet,\u201d the PM said in a response to a question raised by an MP regarding the issue.<\/p>\n
He, however, has not ruled out the possibility of talks with the TPLF.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because we have not negotiated does not mean that we will not do so,\u201d Abiy continued. \u201cNegotiation is a method of identifying problem-solving options.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been betrayed while making efforts to rebuild, acknowledging that the region is a part of our country,\u201d the PM said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is important to welcome discussions by suppressing our emotions\u201d as long as they are in the best interest of the country according to the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the performance of the country\u2019s economy, Abiy \u00a0said Ethiopia has managed to maintain economic growth despite multiple challenges including unfolding conflict in the northern part of the country.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister said the country\u2019s economy is performing well though he did declare the rate of growth and amount of revenue earned during the first six months of the budget year.<\/p>\n
According to the premier, the east African nation earned more than 37 million USD in export trade, up by 25 percent compared to same period last budget year citing agriculture products were major contributors to the growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
