Ethiopia: Parties Struggle to Gain Political Advantage

Ethiopia Insight posted on 9 January 2019 a commentary titled “TPLF Hegemony Has Ended, But EPRDF Power Struggle Is Just Beginning” by Mastewal Dessalew, a US-based software engineer.

The author argues that the ruling EPRDF parties have lost a unifying political ideology. In the meantime, the author says the EPRDF “is a collection of factions engaged in medieval-like political intrigue in order to become the country’s dominant force.”
