Ethiopia: A Census before Elections?

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 1 January 2021  a commentary titled "Before Tallying Votes, We Must Count People" by Worku Burayu, who specializes in Oromo affairs.  

Ethiopia has scheduled national elections for 5 June 2021.  Ethiopia's last census was conducted in 2007.  The author argues that a census must be done before the election takes place to guarantee accurate regional representation.
