Parliament Speaker Says Addis Ababa's Urban Development Is a Model for Other Ethiopian Cities

The Speaker of Ethiopia's House of Peoples' Representatives has said that Addis Ababa's urban development is setting an example for other Ethiopian cities, according to a report by state-affiliated broadcaster Fana.

According to Fana, the Speaker said the changes in the capital reflect the government's aim of making urban centres engines of development.

The government describes its governing philosophy as Medemer, a term associated with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that is often translated as "synergy" or "coming together".

Fana's report did not include independent data on the scale or outcomes of the capital's development projects.

This is a developing story based on a single state-affiliated source. Addis Gazette has not independently verified the Speaker's remarks or the claims about the capital's development.
