Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s Prosperity Party has secured a sweeping victory in the national election, winning 438 of 501 parliamentary seats and extending its political dominance. While the result strengthens Abiy’s mandate and promises continued economic reforms, it comes amid growing concerns over escalating instability across the country. Armed conflicts in the Amhara and Oromia regions, political tensions in Tigray, and strained relations with neighboring Eritrea have raised fears that Ethiopia could be heading toward renewed internal conflict. Despite claims of progress and reform, critics warn that unresolved divisions and ongoing insurgencies may deepen the country’s security crisis in the months ahead.
