And widespread antigovernment protests which many once feared could develop into old out civil war had instead forced an entrenched authoritarian regime from power. Amid the euphoria a new young and charismatic Prime Minister ahmed came to power. He promised to unify a nation divided on ethnic lines and spritz by factional battles between powerful individuals. But since his election its become clear thats a formidable challenge. In march this year just as the coronavirus was taking hold we arrived in ethiopia to find out why. The 2018 appointment of i. B.

Unified and crates of pushing to fall in turbans are well aware of the feels much the same at the time i spoke to him he was the Public Relations chief of our base Prosperity Party and he was equally dismissive of its opponents both of the parties focus on the local agenda not a national agenda.

With some by romo unhappy about the direction hes taking the country may have hoped to counterbalance their own ease with support from howrah ethiopias 2nd largest ethnic group. Not only did they help put abbate into power but they supplied many of ethiopias routers over centuries of imperial rule and might have been expected to sympathize with the Prime Ministers plan ethiopian ambitions.

The amarah groups in the 1st district lines are working together things are getting improved this culture should be. The baseline for working in addition. Today with political elites struggling to find consensus both within their own ethnic groups and with others many worry that young ethiopians are becoming radicalized. In that concern has focused on local vigilante youth groups called the final like the carol they have also been accused of killings but their members insist theyre filling a security void left by a government that no longer patrols their neighborhoods and villages i meant. No indoor during my thats. Here and tonight im going to touch other bless a little more labelling solemnity each other should be pretty chaotic but he said about the churchs drug assessor quickly acquired a cafe so lazy tarring blend in lager and let you make a full i got you know tiring of whats. Your point across and i left and its a lazy. Elephant and im a honest as i said challenge a modern association you know what thats what thats modern had rushed in. These young activists believe in a united ethiopia. And see themselves as both the beneficiaries and defenders of m harras imperial traditions the biggest worry here is the divisive rhetoric they say is coming from other parts of the country joined on the. Credible mythical data thing that. Just disappeared to great what i meant to a much harder a mixed imogen but thriller with a less chips who looks beautiful lovely. For more than 30 years the im higher have been labeled as the fold rulers of ethiopia but now that title belongs to the people of the tea great region here in northern ethiopia. Having been ousted from a central role in the countrys affairs 2 years ago by the a romo protest movement and subsequently sidelined by some here are worried about what the future may hold for their Minority Ethnic Group numbering only 6000000 of ethiopias 115000000 population.

Mr donahoe nothing but i definitely one of them outside as honest as i was one of the lot of the other one and i got through without a lot of them. Although the idea of leaving the ethiopian state is gaining some traction here its not yet a position supported by the recently i stood to grand leadership the t. P. L. F. Which led the National Coalition government to post and 28 team. They were the key architects of the current constitution here which. In 1905 divided the country into 9 ethnically based regions. To grans say this federal system gave marginalised ethnic groups a measure of self rule after a century of imperial and autocratic rule headed by the empire. But Prime Minister are based reforms particularly his move to create an on ethnic party of National Unity have been met with strong opposition here to grains we spoke to said they fear that they will dismantle the federal system they created any decision that stands in the way of our selfgovernment is absolutely an excerpt of his chile that cheerleaders clearly want the Federalism Good and even tries to do that is going to create a conflict. That. I. Wouldnt want to imagine to get it to read is an executive Committee Member of the t f and was the spokesman for the previous government he believes theyve been unfairly scapegoated for the difficulties now facing the nation so for us it was a matter of admitting to having failed as a party as a coalition to address the problems of the that have been bedeviling this country and the leadership of the Prime Minister. Is now willing to to really come to terms with the fact that the country is lighting towards chaos. Last month despite being told not to by the government the ticker a region ran their own elections the t. P. O. Left won a landslide victory putting them on a collision course with our base government which could further threaten the stability of the federal system. But Prime Minister abbott has been pushing back against his critics in particular taking a tougher stance and his own ethnic state in western south or romania the Ethiopian Army has been engaged in a decades old conflict with the romo separatist insurgents a conflict that abyei has as yet been able to resolve. Indeed his critics accuse him of failing to prevent human rights abuses by state Security Forces against armed insurgents and civilians. In variety a time on the outskirts of the capital addis ababa we met a number of a romo men who claimed theyd been beaten by police after a local officer was gunned down in a suspected attack by a roamer separatists.

And the people around you start asking the question well you cant keep peace in the security this is this or that appear to be christian and the. Question for the government in the finally was the government. Decided to take this. Its over its taken now or do worse.

Process whereby they rigged the election even before the election day in my head resting leaders by intimidating members of. The by blocking out of gaza. Right now or not accepted.
