On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed delivered a speech at the Convention Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, where he made a pointed reference to what he described as 'scavengers hovering in the sky.' The remarks were reported by Borkena News Desk on July 18, 2026.
According to the report, Abiy Ahmed used the metaphor to criticize unnamed entities he accused of seeking to exploit Ethiopia's challenges. The speech did not specify the targets, but analysts suggest it may refer to foreign powers or internal actors perceived as opportunistic.
The prime minister's comments come amid ongoing regional tensions and Ethiopia's post-conflict recovery efforts. No further details on the context or audience of the speech were immediately available from verified sources.
