"Ethnic conflicts in Ethiopia are for the most part the work of the government. For example, the case of the Sidama who were pitted against the Wolaita and other southern ethnic groups was sparked by a controversial government document issued in 2012." - Gete Alemu, Ethiopian human rights lawyer (Photo: Ethiomedia) To work as a human rights lawyer in a country under dictatorship is a risky undertaking. “When you are a lawyer in defense of human rights, the authorities consider you a threat, thereby subjecting you to an incessant attack until you either flee the country or give in as one of their subservient subjects," Gete Alemu, a former college law instructor tells Ethiomedia.

A poor regulatory environment, petty corruption, nepotism and a lack of financing have negatively impacted the ease of doing business in the country. While investments in infrastructure and other social services are set to contin...
