An Ethiopian Philosopher Faults Abiy Ahmed for “Inflexibility” Addis Ababa (PP News Desk) — Dr Messay Kebede, a professor of philosophy at the University of Dayton, had sounded alarm bells over the leadership of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed whom he had criticised for being “inflexible”. “It cannot be assumed that Ethiopia will win” given the myriad challenges it faces, Professor Kebede told the Washington-based Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT). He pointed out that the dispute over the millennium dam and the conflict in Tigray constitute two formidable challenges that bear on other geopolitical realities in the Horn of Africa.
