Abiy Ahmed Wins in Ethiopia as Multiple Conflicts Divide the Nation | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Eight years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize as a reformer, Abiy Ahmed now presides over a sharply divided Ethiopia. His Prosperity Party has secured a sweeping election victory, extending his rule, but large parts of the country were unable to fully participate due to insecurity. Regions including Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia saw disruptions, raising questions over representation and legitimacy. While Addis Ababa projects rapid economic growth and modernisation, vast rural areas remain affected by insurgencies, displacement, and political fragmentation. Armed groups such as Fano and the Oromo Liberation Army continue to challenge state authority, while the Tigray peace process remains fragile. Regional tensions with Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, and Egypt further complicate Ethiopia’s position. Analysts describe a ‘two Ethiopias’ in which electoral success contrasts with deep internal instability and a widening crisis of national cohesion under Abiy Ahmed’s leadership.
