Ethiopian Prime Minister Calls for Multiparty Democracy

Ethiopia's reformist Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has said that Ethiopia has "no option" but to pursue multiparty democracy.

 

Although Ethiopia allows competing parties, the country has been ruled by a single coalition, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, since it rose to power in 1991.
