'Abiy Ahmed Following Erdogan?': Ethiopia Proposes Executive President Role | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost examines whether Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is laying the groundwork for absolute rule in Ethiopia, following recommendations by the National Dialogue to establish an executive presidency. The proposal would merge the offices of prime minister and president, handing Abiy Ahmed unprecedented national power while cutting state funding for ethnic-based political parties. Supporters argue a stronger executive is essential to hold together a nation of 130 million struggling with deep ethnic fragmentation and economic shockwaves. However, critics warn of an unchecked concentration of power, drawing direct parallels to Türkiye's shift under Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The constitutional debate comes at a perilous time, as major rebel factions—including Amhara’s Fano—unite against federal forces while regional tensions near boiling point. Will this centralisation bring stability or ignite a wider explosion in the Horn of Africa? Alyson Le Grange brings you the details on Firstpost Africa.
