The opposition in Ethiopia needs to change to bring change, argues Enset: “In the last 17 years, the Ethiopian opposition has faced as much opportunities as it has faced threats, but despite the immense popular support; the opposition neither seized the opportunities nor avoided the threats. No political party that I know resolved, or managed conflicts and continued to exit as a unified entity.”

Thanks for your observation. This is very true. The opposition needs to grow and mature. Has to learn the basic principles of winning and/or accepting defeat. Learn to value the gains made so far and maximizing value of what one had achieved. Acknowledge the successes of the present effort that are achieved, unfortunately, without their contribution. Stop blaming others and take responsibility.
Most of all not to forget the past, to understand the present, the opposition, the opportunities as well as the fact that it is not about them only, but that it is all about the peoples and the country.
