Bbc news ethiopia's first female president

I think there may be some confusion here!

Ethiopia has not yet had a female president. The current President of Ethiopia is Sahle-Work Zewde, who is a woman, but she is not the first female president of the country. She was inaugurated as the President of Ethiopia on October 2, 2018, and is the first female head of state in Ethiopia's history.

However, she is not the first female president in the world. There have been several female heads of state and government around the world, including Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany; Theresa May, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia, among others.

I hope this clears up any confusion!
