Abiy Ahmed Leads Ethiopia's Economic Revolution Through GERD & Mega Projects | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines how Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is driving a massive economic revolution across Ethiopia, transforming the nation from a region long associated with turmoil into one of Africa's fastest-growing powerhouses. At the heart of this shift stands the landmark Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)—Africa’s largest hydroelectric project built entirely without foreign loans or IMF aid—now turning clean electricity into vital foreign currency across the Horn of Africa. Beyond energy, Ethiopia is expanding its global footprint with the new $12.5 billion Bishoftu International Airport, designed to handle 110 million passengers annually and cement Addis Ababa as the ultimate intercontinental hub. From $4 billion gold mining acquisitions and Dangote’s $2.5 billion fertilizer project to 5G expansion and opening capital markets, Alyson Le Grange breaks down how Abiy Ahmed is balancing a delicate geopolitical tightrope with BRICS, Western partners, and Gulf investors to redraw East Africa’s economic map.TIME STAMPS:
