25:01Now PlayingEthiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed received the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize after ending a two-decade-long standoff with neighboring Eritrea. However, Abiy has failed to reduce ethnic tensions inside his own country. He is facing political crisis triggered by the murder of a popular ethnic Oromo singer late June. At least 239 people were killed in the ensuing unrest while over 9,000 opposition activists and protestors have been arrested.
Ethiopia also postponed the eagerly awaited August elections, a decision that has further inflamed ethnic tensions in the country. The country is in turmoil while Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had expressed optimistic about stability while receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
