Ethiopian Politics: A Silver Lining to COVID-19

Ethiopia Insight posted on 24 July 2020 a commentary titled "Neither Premier's Power Grab nor Polls Will Unpick our Political Puzzle" by Semahagn Abebe, Endicott College, Massachusetts.

The COVID-19 emergency may have a silver lining by providing Ethiopia the opportunity to focus on forging a political consensus and reconciliation.  The Prosperity Party should use the opportunity to facilitate an inclusive transitional process that ensures the participation of opposition parties, scholars, activists, and civic and religious leaders.
