ETHIOPIA: ETHNIC NATIONALISTS STRIKE OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT’S REFORM AGENDA

   Mon, 24 June 2019

Nationalist groups have failed to seize control of Ethiopia’s Amhara region, but their killing of the military chief of staff has triggered shockwaves through the country’s security forces. Ethnic and political retaliatory violence should be expected in the short term, while the government’s privatisation and liberalisation reforms are likely to face delays and next year’s slated elections are now even more likely to be postponed.
