Zinash Tayachew Biography

Zinash Tayachew is one of the most popular and richest Minister who was born on January 13, 1978 in Gondar, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Abiy is the thirteenth child of his father, and the sixth and youngest children of his mother. His mother was the fourth of his four wives. Abiyot was his childhood name. In 1974, the Derg revolution gave birth to the name. Abiyot attended the local primary school, and then continued his education at Agaro’s secondary schools. According to multiple personal accounts, Abiy was always interested in his education and encouraged others to learn later in life.

He joined the armed struggle against Mengistu-Leninist Regime of Mengistu Hai Mariam as a teenager following the death of his older brother. As a member ODP (Oromo Democratic Party), he joined the armed struggle against the Marxist-Leninist regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam as a teenager. It was a small organization of 200 fighters who were part of the coalition army of 100,000 fighters. This led to the regime’s fall later in 1991. Abiy had to quickly learn Tigrinya because there were so few ODP fighters within an army that contained approximately 90,000 Tigrayans. He was able to continue his military career as a Tigrinya speaker in a security system dominated by Tigrayans.

Notably, he has also called for the eventual reconstitution of the Ethiopian Navy, dissolved in 1996 in the aftermath of Eritrea’s secession after an extraterritorial sojourn in Djibouti, saying that “we should build our naval force capacity in the future.” It was reported that this move would appeal to nationalists still smarting from the country’s loss of its coastline 25 years prior. Ethiopia already has a maritime training institute on Lake Tana as well as a national shipping line.

The potential normalization of Ethiopia-Eritrea relations likewise opens the possibility for Ethiopia to resume using the Ports of Massawa and Asseb, which, prior to the Ethio-Eritrean conflict, were its main ports, which would be of particular benefit to the northern region of Tigray. All these developments would reduce Ethiopian reliance on Djibouti’s port which, since 1998, has handled almost all of Ethiopia’s maritime traffic.

Abiy began his political career in the ODP (Oromo Democratic Party) as a member. ODP (Oromo Democratic Party) is the dominant party in Oromia Region, Ethiopia since 1991. It also forms part of the ruling coalition in Ethiopia: the EPRDF (Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front). In quick succession, he was elected to the ODP central committee and the EPRDF executive committee.
