Democracy in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has faced major internal conflict, particularly the Tigray War, which ended with a fragile peace in late 2022. While Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was re-elected in 2021 in a landslide, the democratic process has been undermined by conflict, delayed elections, and restricted political competition.
