Ethiopia Insight posted on 29 October 2020 a commentary titled "Preventing Ethiopia's Descent into a Failed State" by Mohamed Olad, former adviser to the president of Somali region.
The author argues that for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to salvage his legacy and whatever is left of the reform initiative, he must accept a much more broadly-based transition in which he retains only a limited role. A "grand elite bargain" is a must now that includes a caretaker administration to oversee elections and achieve political inclusivity.
