CIO Reports:

One of the interesting scenes in this event is that Ms. Bekele is delivering a keynote speech, who last year was blocked by the AUC, the current event Co-organizer from delivering a keynote address that she was invited to deliver, at an ITU-hosted event during the ITU Girls day event, due to a dispute over .africa.   This now becomes an interesting development, which demonstrates that the Government of Ethiopia undoubtedly recognizes the cross-cutting work of Ms. Bekele and the type of positive impact that she is making in the African ICT landscape.
