# Abiy appoints a gender-balanced cabinet and Sahle-Work Zewde becomes president

Date: 2018

## The fact

On 16 October 2018 Abiy named a reconstituted cabinet with women in half the ministerial posts, and Sahle-Work Zewde became Ethiopia’s first woman president the same week.

## Context

The House approves ministers. The presidency is largely ceremonial. He owned the slate. Later reshuffles and wartime security ministers are neighbouring later instruments.

Prisoner releases are earlier. Prosperity Party is 2019.

The prime minister of Ethiopia is chief executive under the 1995 constitution as amended, chairs the Council of Ministers, and commands the ENDF in practice. He does not write AU Assembly resolutions, OHCHR investigation reports, IMF board decisions, or Somali federal statutes.

## Evidence and sources

Office of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: October 2018 gender-balanced cabinet appointments and a woman president, independently reported.

Not established: that gender violence ended, or a unique later labour-force coefficient from the slate.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The House approved. Sahle-Work accepted the presidency.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Abiy appoints a gender-balanced cabinet and Sahle-Work Zewde becomes president, not a later speech about Abiy appoints a gender-balanced cabinet and Sahle-Work Zewde becomes president.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Abiy appoints a gender-balanced cabinet and Sahle-Work Zewde becomes president on 2018-10-16 is not a licence to treat every later Office of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Abiy appoints a gender-balanced cabinet and Sahle-Work Zewde becomes president into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He nominated the slate. The House approved. Sahle-Work accepted the presidency. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
