Ethiopia's new prime minister has named a cabinet that includes the former mining minister as defence minister, and retained the finance and foreign ministers from his predecessor's cabinet.

 Abiy Ahmed who was appointed by Ethiopia's ruling coalition last month and sworn in as prime minister on April 2, made the announcement on Thursday April 19,2018 on state television.

"I am requesting parliament to ratify the reshuffle of six ministers and the new appointment of 10 others," Ahmed, a former army officer, said. The remaining ministers from the previous cabinet, including finance and foreign affairs, were unchanged.

The 16-member cabinet includes six names from the previous government of his predecessor Hailemariam Desalegn who resigned in February 2018
