The attack in the capital, Addis Ababa, killed two people and injured more than 100, but Mr Abiy was unharmed. Since becoming prime minister in April, Mr Abiy has introduced a series of political, economic and diplomatic changes, that have been widely welcomed. The bomb was thrown on 23 June amid tens of thousands of people attending the rally in support of Mr Abiy in Addis Ababa's Meskel Square. The prosecutors said that the suspects did not believe Mr Abiy would secure the interests of the country's largest ethnic group, the Oromos.
