Ethiopian Trade Ministers Replaced
Ethiopian Trade Minister Abdurahman Sheikh Mohammed and Minister of State for Trade Ahmed Tussa were removed from their posts last week. The two ministers have been replaced just over a year after their appointment.
The ministers were relieved of their duties primarily due to increasing public discontent following the introduction and subsequent elimination of price caps early this year according to sources. The slow pace of the ministry in effecting the Growth and Transformation Plan was also cited as another reason for their replacement.
Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics Services, the largest cargo operator in Africa, said it has transported a hundred million flower stems for Mother's Day celebrations.
