- Abstract
- In accordance with the Constitution that came into force in August 1995, Ethiopia introduсed a new form of government - ethnic federalism. The country was divided into nine ethnically-based states. For the first time ever all ethnic groups obtained equal rights, including the rights to participate in government at all levels, to use their own languages, and to develop their traditional cultures. But ethno-political situation still remains difficult.Ethnic factor continue to play a significant role in all spheres of life. Interethnic conflicts aggravate the political situation in the country. Some Oromo, Somali, Afar politicians continue to demand the creation independent states. The vast majority of the ethnic groups are greatly dissatisfied with the leading position of the Tigray, an excessive centralization of power and the dominant rule of the ruling Ethiopian.
