What happened

Douglas Yates, Africa Specialist and Political Science Professor at the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy.

Why it matters

Amid ongoing conflict, will Ethiopia's elections be "free and fair"?

While acknowledging that electoral procedures may function in parts of the country, he argues that conflict, exclusion, inflation, and uneven development remain the defining realities shaping Ethiopia's political landscape.

Perspective signals
