with reporting quoting. him to power essentially out of more will be he wasn't on the political scene be forced to use one example. knowing that he changed the political landscape in ethiopia he essentially series in to be understood from the brink of economic and political explosion saw you. the specific majors that he can comes away to be the quickest. bit significant or in tongues or holding the ability to be alone but most important they're all in the horn of africa region which is the tories for and stability. not just in and unleashing to the moment is going to be issues with neighboring ethiopia but also more important in the region immediate is in between and you could see it's your smile your. kenya it's. more recently that

there's not really any single country where he doesn't play in the hall in terms of bringing people to the horse was the last 18 months and i think from that point of view what you tube is remarkable yeah i mean it's remarkable because if they realize there's own country then bilateral relations with eritrea and then as you mention the wider region what do you think their the nobel peace prize itself message do you think it sends just but you know to the people of ethiopia and the region. i think it is partly a recognition of a few such ignorant. but all the lore what we have far is a significant improvement from what we and who came to this. studio in a bit difficult and very complex position the situation into a beard's. it's a very complex many difficult transition i think the same goes for you know

what we did. or other countries. the prospect of a sustainable peace is more weight. on the line and i think this sort of condition would part of the prime minister and that you have been people generally in order for you know of. course the region to do more for the cause of peace because buildings didn't build peace takes a little time with the solution to working schools some of the underlying structural problems which we took made over time so i think it is a call to action primarily. i think that you know if you push that you need to bring people together and also bring the white house and just give them one of the nobel peace prize sometimes gets criticized them thinking specifically when it was given to the u.s. president at the time barack obama and then i guess you know with the benefit of

hindsight looking back at perhaps a matter come too early certainly you know we have seen not more peaceful years since but possibly more for old ones do you think maybe there is a risk that the same thing could happen with abby that as you mentioned there is still so much to do that maybe this came a bit too early. i don't think so and in this case. the prime minister within such short period was tying some decisive. in some key is a great personal risk. you know soon it's going to. be one of the cleanest a demonstration of his commitments and determination to peace ease you know the way you. government when he was appointed as prime minister he's now. clearly. human unconditionally the. commission's decision when

to appear his due to accept in the boss of your it includes a sage that would accept the decision but you're going to be committed and when i mean made that statement most people thought it was just another gesture. and he moment i think illusions we did it. but. he i think most visible. pieces reuniting families. by the sense of. 20 years that is a change that you know i meant and i think it is important to her nights people that live in the nation to pursue their gender and not be has certainly been recognised for the nobel peace prize our wall allo allo expert in international and the horn of africa so thank you so much for having us thank you thank you still
