Ethnic Oromos comprise at least 35 percent of Ethiopia&#8217;s population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hailu said while there are myriad unsolved challenges,\u00a0<span>Abiy<\/span> should be praised for his role in releasing thousands of political prisoners, delisting dissident groups from a terror list and, recently, enacting a law in favour of civil society groups in Ethiopia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The new Civil Society Proclamation means groups no longer have to solicit 90 percent of funds from domestic sources.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Activists, opposition politicians and human rights groups had alleged the previous law, enacted in 2008, was intended to squeeze the space for free speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But there is still more to be done, explained Hailu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The Ethiopian PM&#8217;s legitimacy hinges on political reforms,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have identified about a dozen laws that are stifling the political and civic space in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;While Ahmed has started reforming the institution, I feel it&#8217;s being delayed.

There is widespread perception that Ethiopia is now a one-man show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;In December 2017, while Desalegn was still in power, EPRDF had done a marathon 17 days of internal debate, which in the end resulted in agreement to institute political reforms.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Ahmed took radical decisions on the agreement, without being stymied by the party&#8217;s slow decision making process,&#8221; said Aynete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The reform process saw the dominant TPLF being cast aside, and the Oromo and Amhara political wings of EPRDF put under pressure from previously repressed ethnic nationalist movements.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Abebe said <span>Abiy<\/span>&#8216;s next year is bound to be difficult as the country approaches national elections in May 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">At <\/span><span class=\"s1\">a recent press conference,\u00a0<span>Abiy<\/span> acknowledged the influence ethnic conflicts could have on the status of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">A<\/span><span class=\"s1\">n ethnically mixed city of more than four million people, Addis Ababa is surrounded by Oromo settlements and the city&#8217;s fast expansion was the subject of more than two years of unrest that brought the EPRDF to its knees &#8211; paving the way for <span>Abiy<\/span>&#8216;s premiership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He has tried to walk a political tightrope, trying to appease Oromo activists who want to reclaim &#8220;historical rights&#8221; over the city while assuring other sections of society that the city belongs to every Ethiopian.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer item\" data-image-url=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2018\/11\/9\/7bb272e6453b4df79a69a2aec3719a2f_18.jpg\">\n<table class=\"image\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody readability=\"4\">\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2018\/11\/9\/7bb272e6453b4df79a69a2aec3719a2f_18.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"8\">\n<td class=\"caption\">Protestors run from tear gas launched by security personnel during the Irecha, the thanks giving festival of the Oromo people in Bishoftu town of Oromia region, Ethiopia, October 2, 2016 [Tiksa Negeri\/Reuters]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0Abiy&#8217;s hedging reflects the intricacies of governing a country where ethnic and religious identities are frequently interwoven, and where dissatisfaction with inefficiency and perceived discrimination, coupled with nostalgia for old unitary systems, runs high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In September 2018, dozens were killed in and around Addis Ababa as young ethnic Oromo, who had come to the city to welcome the leader of a previously banned rebel group, clashed with other youths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Addis Ababa&#8217;s status, the ethnically oriented mode of Ethiopia&#8217;s federation, the role of regional special police forces accused of human rights abuses and the Ethiopian Constitution &#8211; which allows regional states the right to autonomy up to secession &#8211; are challenges both Ayente and Hailu believe the prime minister, despite being relatively popular, can&#8217;t solve without democratic legitimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I have expectation that Ahmed will facilitate free and fair elections in 2020 compared with the previous two past national elections.
