The US Institute of Peace (USIP) posted on 29 April 2021 a discussion titled "Ethiopia: Contemplating Elections and the Prospects for Political Reform."
Ethiopia has scheduled parliamentary elections for 5 June. Amid ongoing violence in the country, voting in some areas either will not take place or will only be possible under troubling security conditions, which may limit participation. Lidet Tadesse Shiferaw, European Centre for Development Policy Management, Terrence Lyons, George Mason University, and Aly Verjee, USIP, discuss the upcoming elections.
