A Changing Ethiopia - What is the Legacy of Ethnic Federalism
With more than 100 million people, Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most important and populous countries. It’s also unusual: Ethiopia is Africa’s only explicitly ethnically federal state. But amid opening political space and historic national reforms, this model of federalism is coming under strain and the country’s broader national stability is being tested. How ethnic federalism endures, or is discarded, will be a critical question for the future peace and prosperity of the country.
Speakers:

Dr. Yohannes Gedamu
Lecturer, Political Science, Georgia Gwinnett College
Dr. Daniel Mains
