Ethiopia's Challenged National Dialogue Commission

 Ethiopia Insight published on 9 July 2024 a commentary titled "Ethiopia's Next Steps along a Troubled Road to Democracy" by Nebiyu Daniel Meshesha, former Ethiopian diplomat.

Since the government established the National Dialogue Commission in December 2021, it has done little to bring armed groups and opposition parties that declined to participate into the process.  The author argues it is essential to include all key stakeholders.  If the government moves forward without them, the process cannot achieve a legitimate outcome.
