Abiy Ahmed has thwarted a rebel advance on the capital a year into a brutal civil war.
The PM was pictured addressing commanders on the front line
"Though the photos suggest that he was close to the front lines and not on the actual battlefield fighting, his decision paid off, " he said. "But he then embraced the pan-African narrative by calling the TPLF a proxy for imperialist forces, and he was fighting for Ethiopia's glory, like the emperors of the past."In November, Mr Abiy drew parallels between the TPLF's attempt to overthrow his government to the Italian invaders who were defeated in the famous Battle of Adwa in 1896 by the army of Emperor Menelik II, the founder of modern-day Ethiopia who came from the Amhara ethnic group.
"He is quite obsessed with the history of Ethiopia's kings, and he once told his audience that his mother predicted he will rise to become the seventh king. The kings used to lead their armies into battle, and he has done something similar."
