This did not start here, today. He is a loving husband and father. FLOE is also an incredibly humble and beautiful woman. To see them like this is no surprise. Men lack being emotionally present most of time. He is an example.

Tayachew also accompanied Abiy, as he toured Lake Tana and other historic sites, along with Eritrea’s president, Isaias Afwerki and Somalia’s president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo
