Abiy Ahmed Ali, PM of Ethiopia, is a conciliator and Unifier, in the tradition of past Ethiopian leaders (Emperors), who led a diverse country of religious groups (mostly Christian and Muslim), ethnic groups, and languages, and formed one nation. Abiy takes that role further, in the tradition of the late Emperor Haile Selassie, as a leader of Africa.I should specify that although there has been a constant empathy towards Muslims over the centuries, and other religious groups, the traditional, historic, leaders were all Christian. It is important to add that the majority of these emperors were of Amhara origin, the group that combined Christianity and ethnicity to form a united whole, a nation.
And Ahmed Ali himself is half Orthodox Christian (on his mother's side) and half Muslim. He is married to an Amhara Orthodox Christian woman, and he professes to be some kind of evangelical protestant. His wife regularly appears in the traditional Ethiopian/Amhara dress, with embroidered crosses.
I keep saying that it won't be long before PM Abiy takes on the religion of his Ethiopian ancestors, and becomes an Orthodox Christian.
