Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed addressed an event to honor Ethiopian police forces in Meskel Square in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He said the police have played a significant role not only in protecting Ethiopia from imminent national security threats that jeopardize the country’s sovereignty, but also in terms of realizing ongoing efforts to build a peaceful and prosperous nation. He said the government’s prime aspiration is to build a well-organized and technologically modernized security apparatus with an overarching goal of protecting Ethiopia and its national interest against forces that want to tarnish the country’s sovereignty.
