Human rights in Ethiopia have been a subject of concern, particularly regarding freedom of expression, assembly, and political participation. The government has faced criticism for its treatment of opposition groups and journalists, with reports of arbitrary arrests and restrictions on media freedom. In recent years, the situation has seen some improvements, especially following the appointment of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in 2018. His administration has initiated reforms aimed at promoting human rights and fostering dialogue among various ethnic groups. However, challenges remain, including ethnic tensions and violence that continue to affect the human rights landscape in the country.
