Africa Becoming an Economic, Political and Social Powerhouse, Says Ethiopia PM

Ethiopia's prime minister Abiy Ahmed said Africa is realizing its potential and becoming an economic, political and social powerhouse. Speaking from Beijing Wednesday where he is attending the Belt and Road Initiative with representatives of 130 other countries, he also said that Africa has particularly suffered the consequences of the climate crisis and conflicts in other parts of the world, and that "we cannot be idle observers in forums that affect common wellbeing."
