Toronto – “This morning, we began the Prosperity Party’s Central Committee meeting to engage in key discussions on our ongoing efforts.” Ethiopia Prime Minister announced on his social media page.
No further detail was provided regarding the agenda item that the central committee is discussing.
There is speculation that the party has started preparing for the next election, expected to be held in a year.
Abiy Ahmed’s party has been losing public trust and legitimacy for many years now over broken promises and indulgence in extremely unpopular policies including war and displacement of citizens including in the capital Addis Ababa.
The urban development project in Addis Ababa was not debated in the Ethiopian parliament. It has displaced and dispossessed hundreds of thousands of city residents.
Peace is another problem. Under Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia experienced a devastating two years war in the North affecting Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions. The two years war has reportedly claimed an estimated one million people.
Months after the war ended, Abiy Ahmed’s government started another war in the Amhara region in August 2013. The stated objective was to “disarm fano forces” within a few weeks. The war is still going on after a year and half. Thousands of civilians have been killed since it started as the government intensified drone strikes and artillery shelling including on civilian targets.
In addition to the war in the Amhara region, most of Oromia region of Ethiopia has been a conflict zone with ongoing war between a military group that calls itself Oromo Liberation Army and Abiy Ahmed’s government. That is not just it.
Cost of living crisis in the country has become unbearable for many millions.
Despite all that, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government makes claims that it is steering the country towards “Prosperity.”
His government has also been facing problems in the diplomatic front – particularly in the Horn of Africa region. Relation with Somalia continue to be a problem to the point that the Ankara Declaration is appearing more like a mirage.

Steering prosperty for whom? it seems that those that belong to the Prosperty Party are the ones who are steered towards prosperty, the remaining millions of people are suffering. Bottom line this shows incompetence in steering the entire country.
It is now reported on one of the local private newspaper that by the end of 2026, about 25,000MW of electricity will be generated when all current and soon-to-be finished dams become fully operational. Al-Toweel, eat your crow!!! This bold statement was made by the operation plan bureau Director Tiruwork Shiferaw of the Ethiopian Electric Power(EEP). You know our women. They know what they are doing and they know what they talking about. I hope sooner if not later, our women will be able to grab away the mantle of governance from us, the men, peacefully and show us a country is supposed to be run. We, the men, have monopolized the ruling of the country for so long that we have become so arrogant about. We have stopped listening to reasons. We start stupid wars for absolutely stupid reasons. This applies to all three countries of The Horn of Africa, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. Just look at them now. I hope our women will come aboard and tell us men to go back, way back in line for the next 100 years.
