Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s new book ‘Medemer’ (synergy) is released at the Millennium Hall with over 8000 Ethiopians from all parts of the country in attendance. Moreover, the book was also launched in over 30 other cities nationwide. 
The book is said to be the future political manifesto of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and the government by replacing ‘Revolutionary Democracy’ if it wins the coming year’s election.
In the past couple of weeks, the content of the book has been presented by officials from the Office of the Prime Minister to regional allies, elites, opposition parties and the media.
The 278 page book is published in Amharic, Affan Oromo and English.
One million copies of the book were printed in China for free, according to sources.
Proceeds from the 300 birr book will go to building schools across the country.
Abiy’s catchword “Medemer” has brought about diverse interest groups from home and abroad.
