Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was sworn in this week and has settled into office for his first proper term in power, following a victory for his Prosperity Party in the June national election.
But even as he pledged to unite the country and cultivate a culture of dialogue, he was already dealing with an image crisis arising from the humanitarian crisis in Tigray.
