Ethiopia Insight posted on 10 June 2019 a commentary titled "From Meles' 'Dead End' to Abiy's 'New Horizon'" by William Davison, editor of Ethiopia Insight.
The author argues that former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's concept of state-directed development is not the answer for Ethiopia. Abiy Ahmed's "New Horizon" offers more promise, although it not entirely clear what that policy entails.
