CNN: Ethiopian parliament confirms Abiy Ahmed as prime minister
Ethiopia's parliament confirmed incumbent Abiy Ahmed as prime minister for a five-year term on Monday, cementing his power domestically amid mounting international concern over his government's handling of the conflict in northern Ethiopia.
Abiy's party won a landslide victory in June's election. He was sworn in on Monday, and a ceremony was being held later in the capital Addis Ababa attended by several African heads of states.
President Sahle-Work Zewde told parliament on Monday that government priorities included easing inflation -- which has hovered around 20% this year -- and the cost of living, as well as reducing unemployment.
