What an insightful article. I am Ethiopian who has lived in US for a while now. I have some knowledge of the country's political situation. I think this article has enhanced my understanding a great deal.

Interesting article.
As the conclusion says, the main failure is the unability to build strong institutions that can act as check-and-balances and counteract the most blatant politico-economic issues : internal and external land grabbing, corruption, urban unemployment, power sharing outside the Tigrayan hard core (all of which, except the fourth, OPDO and ANDM have their share of responsability for). .

If TPLF people are 1st class citizens, OPDO and ANDM are 2nd class, while the rest of the people are 3rd class. The regional parliaments which have 100% of the seat occupied by the sub-parties are hardly more representative than the federal parliament.

In fact, they are complaining about losing their own dictatorial power to TPLF, not about people human rights.

Down Down Woyane!!!!!!!
