A lot people think that APCO's focus for Abiy is securing financing sources for the dollar starved ethno-fascist regime. My guess is APCO's assignment is going to be helping Abiy get out of the terminal crises he is in. That is APCO is known for -crisis management.
As I said elsewhere on this forum APCO will at least the following among other things
(1) APCO will attempt to brand Fano as An Amara Orthodox One Ethiopia hegemony seeking movement, design a PR and Media strategy for the loser Oromuma
(2) APCO will attempt to Brand Abiy Ahmed as Pro-Ethiopian, smart, progressive and forward looking young African leader. (APCO is known for image and media branding for troubled dictators. And, APCO will design PR and Media campaign to that effect. APCO is essentially a communication strategy consulting outfit.
(3) And, probably some financing and promotion works globally.
It is that UAE is part owner of APCO through recently APCO acquired Dubai consulting firm. In other words, Sheik Bin Zeid might have given his adopted brother Abiy Ahmed a free ride on the princes account. As we all know UAE is a major client of APCO.
So, what Ethiopians, (Fano) must do is stage its own concentrated media and PR campaign to expose the unholy marriage of the Oromuma ethno-fascist regime and the Arab colonial financed APCO ' service. We must go straight the image of APCO itself.
notice the following ....
"In 2023, APCO Worldwide acquired Gagen MacDonald, a Chicago-based employee engagement firm[11] Camarco, a London-based financial communications consultancy, and NGC International Advisory, a Dubai based public policy and government affairs consultancy."
