A former army intelligence officer since becoming Prime Minister Abiy has launched a broad program of political and economic reforms,[5] and has worked to broker peace agreements in Eritrea, South Sudan, and a transition agreement in the Republic of Sudan. Abiy received the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for her work at the end of the 20-year territorial standoff between Ethiopia and Eritrea. [6] Personal life Early in life, Abiy Ahmed was born in the small town of Beshasha, located near Agaro, Oromia. [9] His late father, Ahmed Ali, was a Muslim Oromo[11] (and had four wives[12]), while his late mother, Tezeta Wolde, was a Christian Oromo. [14] Although some sources claim that her mother was an ethnic amhara,[15][16] Abiy said in an interview with the Oromia Broadcasting Network that both her parents are Oromo and stated that no one is given and taken by Oromummaa. [14] Abiy's father was a typical Ethiopian farmer and was just to speak Oromo while Tezeta was a fluent oromo and amharic speaker. [14] Abiy is the 13th son of his father and the sixth and youngest son of his mother, the fourth of his father's four wives. [15] His childhood name was Abiyot. The name was sometimes given to children after the Derg revolution of 1974. [7] Abiyot then went to the local primary school and later continued his studies in secondary schools in the city of Agaro. Abiy, according to various personal accounts, was always very interested in his own education and later in his life also encouraged others to learn and improve. [7] Religion Abiy is a devout Protestant,[17] born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother of the Tewahedo Ethiopian Orthodox Church. He was raised in a family of religious plurality. He, along with his entire family, is a regular participant in the church, and Abiy also occasionally teaches preaching and teaching the Gospel in the Church of The Faithful of the Full Gospel of Ethiopia. His wife Zinash Tayachew is also a devout Protestant Christian who teaches in her church as a gospel singer. Abiy often stresses the importance of faith and, as a result, almost all religious communities are enjoying greater liberality in their mandate. The 4 major state television stations (ETV (Ethiopia), Walta TV, Addis TV and Fana TV) have aired religious services almost every day since the beginning of COVID-19. Education While serving in the Ethiopian National Defense Force, Abiy received her first degree, a bachelor's degree in computer engineering[18] from Microlink Information Technology College in Ababa In 2009. [19] Abiy holds a master's degree in arts in transformative leadership[18] obtained from the Business School of the University of Greenwich, London, in collaboration with the International Leadership Institute, Addis Ababa, in 2011. He also holds a Master's degree in Business Administration[18] from leadstar College of Management and Leadership in Ababa in partnership with Ashland University in 2013. [19] Abiy, who had begun her ph.D. in philosophy work several years ago as a regular student,[20] completed her phD in 2017 at the Institute for Peace and Security Studies at the University of Ababa. He did his doctoral work in the Constituency of Agaro with the doctoral thesis entitled Social Capital and its Role in the Traditional Conflict Resolution in Ethiopia: the case of interreligious conflict in the state of jimma area. As a follow-up to his doctoral thesis, he published a research paper on de-escalation strategies in the Horn of Africa in a special magazine issue dedicated to combating violent extremism. [21] Other aspects abiy met and married his wife, Zinash Tayachew, an amhara woman from Gondar,[22][7][15] while both were serving in the Forces Defense of Ethiopia. They are parents of three daughters and a newly adopted son. [23] Abiy is is and speaks Afaan Oromo, Amharic, Tigrinya language and English. [24] He is a fitness aficionado and professes that physical health goes hand in hand with mental health and as such attends physical and fitness activities in Ababa. [23] Abiy is a devout evangelical Pentecostal Christian of the Church of Full Gospel Believers. [17] As such, he believes he is doing God's work by promoting peace and reconciliation. [25] Military career In adolescence and early 1991,[26] he joined the armed struggle against the Marxist-Leninist regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam after the death of his older brother. He did so as a member of the ODP (Oromo Democratic Party), which at the time was a small organization of only about 200 fighters in the large coalition army of about 100,000 fighters that resulted in the fall of the regime later that year. [23] As there were only so few ODP fighters in an army with its core of about 90,000 tigrayans, Abiy quickly had to learn the Tigrinya language. As Tigrinya's valedictorian in a security guard dominated by Tigrayans, he could move on with his military career. [24] After the fall of the Derg, he had formal military training from the Assefa Brigade in West Wollega and was stationed there. Later, in 1993, he became a soldier in the now Ethiopian National Defense Force and worked primarily in the intelligence and communications departments. In 1995, after the rwandan genocide, he was seconded as a member of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force (UNAMIR), Kigali, Rwanda.
