The current ethnic federal system has essentially failed to create socioeconomic and political cohesion. For Ethiopia and its 110 million people to thrive, they must possess a patriotic and inclusive leadership and empowering governance. Not only would these conditions enable citizens to survive; but equally, favorable governance conditions will propel Ethiopian society to thrive. Until April last year, Ethiopia was literally a captured state on the verge of Balkanization and ethnic war and conflagration. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the year came in Ethiopia, a country of 100 million people and a solidly authoritarian past.
