Wolde was greeted at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport by Ethiopian Deputy Foreign Minister Hirut Zemene and other senior government officials. Speaking to reporters on arrival, Wolde said he returned from exile to support the ongoing reconciliation process in Ethiopia. Wolde continued his opposition, even after Haile Mariam was overthrown by a coalition of rebel groups, Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), in May 1991. His administration has also been implementing measures aimed at creating a nationwide reconciliation, including the release of high-level political prisoners, invitation for Ethiopian rebel groups for talks, as well as the decision to normalize relations with neighboring Eritrea.
