The data shows huge disparity when compared to ethnic composition of the country, even if we use the disputed 2007 census.   Amharas make up 51% percent of the employees, which is twice the size of their proportion of the country’s  population. Oromos make up 12.7% which is one-fourth of their population size. Somalis, the third largest ethnic group in the country,  make up about 6.2% of the total population but  they only constitute just 0.07% of the federal government’s workforce. There is a group categorized as ‘unidentified/ undisclosed’ constituting  23.7% of the federal workforce. While its not clear wha

By Abebe Aynete,  What is new in resuming tripartite talks on an Ethiopian multi-billion dollar hydroelectric dam on the Nile after eight months of disruption? Indeed the three countries, Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan have conducted talks from August 25-26 in Khartoum. The negotiation however, was suspended in January 2014 amid mounting tension between Cairo and Addis Ababa.   The  new development in the negotiation  has picked up where it left off at the time of its interruption, which is the formation of a committee for  implementing  the agreed proposal  involves a hydrology simulation model and a trans-boundary social, economic and environmental impact assessment. The negotiations resumed after Prime Minister Haile Mariam Dessalegn and Egyptian President Al-Sissi’s meeting during the 23rd African Union (AU) summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.  As it is well known, it is not something new for Ethiopia and Egypt to undertake negotiations. What is new is that Egypt, which

UN Human Rights Council: Adoption of the UPR Outcome of Ethiopia

Human Rights Watch welcomes the adoption of the outcome of the UPR on Ethiopia, which reflected many important recommendations to address human rights concerns in the country. We welcome Ethiopia’s stated commitment to rights-based development and the government’s important efforts to improve respect for the rights of women, children, persons with disabilities, and migrant workers, as well as its longstanding support for up to 500,000 refugees.
