Has Abiy kept his promises? A look at the Ethiopian media, one year into the Abiy Ahmed era.
It's been one year since East Africa's most populous country - Ethiopia - experienced a political transformation; a change in leadership, after years of social unrest and demonstrations.
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn unexpectedly resigned, leading to the appointment of Abiy Ahmed, a representative of the country's largest ethnic group, the Oromos.
The reforms came swiftly. Abiy packed his cabinet with a record number of women, he promised to address the social tensions among Ethiopia's multiple ethnic groups, and he forged an historic agreement to end the 20-year standoff with neighbouring Eritrea.
