Ethiopian politics is characterized by a federal system that divides the country into regional states based on ethnic lines. The ruling party, the Prosperity Party, emerged from the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) in 2018, aiming to promote national unity and economic development. The political landscape has been marked by ethnic tensions and conflicts, particularly in regions like Tigray and Oromia. The government has faced challenges in addressing these issues while maintaining stability and fostering inclusive governance. Recent reforms have sought to enhance political participation and reduce repression, but challenges remain.
