Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) stated  that the greatest problem in the history of Ethiopia’s state-building is the "break" in continuity (the failure to sustain previous works). 

The Prime Minister said that since the reform, one of the government's focus areas has been to continue useful history and works from the past through the "Medemer" (synergy/addition) philosophy, rather than discarding them.

As an example, he cited the military industries of Homicho and Bishoftu, which were established during the Derg era. Instead of being discarded as "belonging to the Derg," these industries were modernized with technology, allowing them to produce many times their previous capacity.

Additionally, he explained that sugar factories like Omo Kuraz, Beles, and Finchaa, which were started during the EPRDF era but stalled due to leadership and conceptual problems, have been reorganized through reforms and put into operation. 

The Prime Minister stated that this new policy direction focuses on being multi-sectoral, multi-actor, and multi-beneficiary. He confirmed that the government is shifting from being an "executor" to a "facilitator," creating an environment where private and foreign investors can participate extensively. This approach ensures that the industry is not a "prisoner of history" but rather honors past successes while correcting weaknesses.
