Getnet Worku Announces Complete Withdrawal from Political Activities

Getnet Worku, a key leader of the Enat Party and the Cooperation for Ethiopian Unity, has officially announced his resignation and complete withdrawal from all political activities. Reflecting on his six years in Ethiopian politics, Worku stated that he spent significant time advocating for oppressed citizens and promoting home-grown political solutions. He revealed engaging in crucial behind-the-scenes negotiations with the government regarding the release of political prisoners, ending armed conflict, and ensuring safe returns for political exiles.
