Africa-Press – Zambia. Speaker of the Ethiopian Parliament, Tagesse Chafo says Zambia’s democratic process and peaceful transition of power following the August 12 general elections is inspiring.

“We are very much pleased by the process and we appreciate the people of Zambia. We are here as African brothers and sisters coming together to celebrate the new President,” he said.
