In an interview with ENA, the Acting Ambassador said it is good news to see the new arrangement with a lot of new faces and “new blood” taking over various ministerial posts.

“As far as foreign affairs minister is concerned, it is a new face and I hope it will bring a new communication with the foreign community and the international community here in Addis [Ababa] and I am happy with the result,” Roule added.

“I can simply say that I am ready and I am committed to contribute my part,” he stated.

The newly included ministers will make use of their professional background in voicing concerns of the society at large.

“We cannot answer the public demand in overnight but I am hopeful that in the near future and gradually we can respond to the question that has been raised by our citizens and hopefully this arrangement and this new cabinet will respond to the interest and need of the society,” he added.
