Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Sunday travelled to assess the state of the Gedeo community whose displacement has been the subject of wide media coverage in the last few months.

Abiy’s office said he made the trip to Gedeb Woreda on Sunday as part of efforts to listen to their grievances and to hold discussions with their representatives.

Thousands of people are seen in an open area in photos shared by the PM’s office. The Gedeos are located in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’, SNNP, region.
