A confluence of several factors could potentially threaten the democratic transition of Ethiopia and could, perhaps, lead to a major political and security crisis. The reluctance to unveil a structured transitional agenda may be symptomatic of an unfinished debate within the post “revolutionary democracy” EPRDF. Responsible and realist activism must be encouraged, as it is vital to push the transitional process past a democratization threshold. The overall goal of the subversive activities is, therefore, to stop the democratic transition and make the country difficult to govern. Ethiopia cannot afford to squander yet another opportunity for a democratic transition.
