Addis Ababa, November 16, 2024 (FBC) – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) today inaugurated the Ethiopian Federal Police Forensic Investigation and Research Center of Excellence in Addis Ababa.
Just a year and a half ago, when DNA testing was needed, we had to rely on external resources, the Prime Minister noted on his social media page after inaugurating the center.
“Today, Ethiopia has established an institution capable of addressing DNA-related challenges domestically while also serving neighbouring countries,” he said.
The Prime Minister also underscored that this achievement reflects the significant reforms his country has undertaken in the security and safety sector over the years.
The inauguration event was attended by senior government officials, members of the federal police, ambassadors and diplomats of various countries, as well as invited guests.
