Ethiopia – What the Recent Coup Attempt Means of this Critical Horn of Africa Country feat. Sandy Wade


Listen Later

Abiy Ahmed  election as Ethiopia’s Prime Minister in April 2018 was welcomed as good news around the world. Ethiopia is critical to the Horn of Africa, and since the end of its sixteen year long civil war, the victory of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, rapidly stabilised the state.

Abiy Ahmed promised to enact reforms that would fully modernise and liberalise Ethiopia but his attempts have come unstuck. Critics claim that Abiy’s reform process is too fast, and that it is threatening to leave large parts of the population behind. On June 23 of 2018, Abiy was the target of an assassination attempt killing 2
people and injuring around 165 in Meskel Square, fortunately Abiy was unharmed.
Then a coup attempt staged by Brig. Gen. Asaminew Tsige with the destabilising assassination of three senior officials of Amhara state. Can Abiy survive his
reform process?

Today we are joined by Sandy Wade OBE JP. Sandy is Associate Director Horn of Africa at Africa Advisory Partners Limited and Horn of Africa Regional Strategic Advisor with Austability and Associate Director with Strategia Worldwide. He’s had and continues to have extensive experience in Ethiopia and Horn of Africa affairs.
