Contribution of politics for underdevelopment of Ethiopia
By: Yonas Asnake
I. Introduction
Ethiopia was the only country in Africa to demarcate its boundary through bargaining with European colonizers in the early 20th century. This victory had a chance for Ethiopia to produce its political and economy policy by itself. In addition to this, there were golden chances in the country in different historical times: such as the period of before and after Italy invasion, 1960 coup, 1974 revolution, 1991 and 2018 political changes. But the country and its people are still in serious economic problems. Different regimes came and went. They promised and tried to do at least better than the previous regime. But the issues of economic development became an issue of consecutive generation not only today but also tomorrow. My question is now why the regimes failed to make economic development in the country. Why did the regimes fail to use that all chances? I doubt that political issues may be the reason. Politics may badly affect development in all regimes. So that, I need to assess `how much political issues influenced economic development agendas of Ethiopia. `
Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa. It is a landlocked country and shares borders with Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan and Sudan. With more than 112 million people (2019), Ethiopia is the second fastest growing country in Africa after Nigeria. But it is also very poor, earning $ 850 per capita. Ethiopia plans to reach low-middle income level by 2025.
