Ethiopia Insight published on 13 February 2026 a commentary titled "Reimagining Ethiopia's Constitutional Architecture" by Nagessa Dube, a lawyer in Seattle, Washington.
The author argues that Ethiopia needs constitutional reform. Courts now have almost no authority to interpret the constitution; it is in the hands of a political body. He believes constitutional interpretation needs to be transferred to an independent judiciary and the ongoing National Dialogue offers a rare chance to make this change.
