Lack of political leadership at the state/region
level is primarily to blame for the failure of
ethnic federalism in Ethiopia.
The federal government’s interest in keeping
the state’s or region’s politically weak.
Limited involvement in the political process by
the general population, especially rural
residents and their contentment with the
current regime’s political conduct compared to
the previous one.
