E T H I O P I A Recalling that Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front had gained about 98.6 percent of seats in the federal assembly, the report says that the ballot was carried out "calmly but in relative indifference". Meles, head of the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPDRF), served as president in a four-year transitional government that handed power over to parliament on Tuesday. OVERVIEW: The Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front's (EPRDF) overwhelming victory in the elections in May should boost its confidence and ability to push ahead with policy reforms. www.sas.upenn.edu /African_Studies/Newsletters/HB7895_ETH.html

Institute of Development and Education for Africa (IDEA) Following the schism within the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), the EPRDF is a much more diminished party than its earlier stature when it began as a coalition of the TPLF, the Ethiopian Peoples Democratic Movement (EPDM, later renamed Amhara National Party) and the Oromo Peoples Democratic Organization (OPDO). Ever since the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Party (EPRDF) assumed power in 1991, Ethiopians have encountered mirage politics that could literally blur vision, but at close scrutiny it is in many ways a deceptive Machiavellian ploy. The Ethiopian opposition forces including the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces (UEDF) and CUD should exhibit great awareness of domestic, regional, and global politics and must be ready to shoulder a huge historical task in mobilizing and organizing the Ethiopian people. www.africanidea.org /mirage.html

Walta Information Center EPRDF a coalition of the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), the Oromo peoples' Democratic Organization (OPDO), the Southern Peoples Party and the Amhara Nation's Democratic Movement (ANDM) was given 40 minutes to elaborate its activities since the 1995 election. Several opposition parties such as the Ethiopian national Democratic Party, the Joint Political Forum and Joint Ethiopian Nations and Nationalities Democratic Party said that the first thing they would do if the result of the May election favoured them was restructuring the government. Several parties including EDU, AAPO, CAFDPE, ONC and National Democratic Unity said they had been condemning the secession of Eritrea whose referendum they claimed was not "free and fair." They alleged that EPRDF "irresponsibly" gave the right to Shabia, the Eritrean ruling party, which achieved its wishes without the consent of all the people. www.telecom.net.et /~walta/conflict/articles/article1068.html

Foreign & Commonwealth Office Country Profiles Major political parties: The government is run by the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), an alliance between four parties – the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM), Oromo Peoples Democratic Organisation (OPDO) and Southern Ethiopian Peoples Democratic Movement (SEPDM). Elections in 1995 and 2000 gave the component parties of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) an overwhelming majority of seats in the national parliament. The regional governments were similarly dominated by the EPRDF affiliated parties (ie the Tigray Peoples' Liberation Front (TPLF) in Tigray region, the Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM) in Amhara region, the Oromo People's Democratic Organisation (OPDO) in Oromia and the Southern Ethiopia People's Democratic Front (SEPDF) in Southern Nations). www.fco.gov.uk /servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029394365&a=KCountryProfile&aid=1022070787685   (1883 words)

E T H I O P I A In order to complete the difficult task given to it by the peoples of our country, the major task of the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in the next five years will be to work harder towards implementing the EPRDF's [Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front] action plan for development, peace and democracy... FRESH RUMOURS OF CONFLICTå(ION 14 Oct 95, p.4) Rumours, so far not officially confirmed, have circulated of renewed fighting on September 17 between military units of Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front and guerilla units of Oromo Liberation Front near the river Wabe, which separates the regions of Bale and Arsi. The radical members of the National Islamic Front, who do not care whether relations between the two countries are improved or not, have been the stumbling block in our country's efforts over the last four years to improve and develop bilateral relations and have been preventing the government of Sudan from responding to our efforts. www.africa.upenn.edu /Newsletters/HB91095_ETH.html   (1883 words)

Reflections On An Aspect Of The Boundary Commission The Ethiopia-Eritrea Boundary Commission (the “Commission”) is an arbitration panel created following agreement between the regime of the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (“EPLF”) in Eritrea and the regime of the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (“EPRDF”) in Ethiopia in Algiers in December 2000. The fact that the people in the coastal region converted to Islam, or the highland inhabitants continued to ascribe to a Coptic brand of Christianity, has evidently created difficulty for continued effective control of the coastal region by Ethiopian kings who often were Coptic. Some parts of Bada are plainly Ethiopian and some parts are plainly Eritrean.” Such a short answer, in the face of a barrage of counter-arguments by the EPLE, resulted in awards favorable to EPLF, and is an example of the kind of weak and clumsy legal defense that characterizes the Ethiopian side. www.ethiopians.com /Views/Efrem_YB_BorderRuling.htm   (9951 words)

[No title] The new rulers in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), and EPLF in Eritrea, say their first priority is to tackle famine relief and food shortages. Notwithstanding public rhetoric about dumping their various Marxist ideologies, the EPRDF and the Tigrayan Peoples' Liberation Front, which has been enjoying a measure of US support, remain dominated by former university students still committed to the notion of a centralised, command economy.

Like its predecessors, the government dominated by the Tigrean Peoples Liberation Front was vicious in its brutality against the Oromo people.

BBC NEWS Special Report 1999 07/99 Battle in the Horn Stubborn leaders and national pride In 1991, Ethiopia's Marxist military dictatorship under Mengistu Haile Mariam was ousted by the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) led by Meles Zenawi, and the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (now the Peoples' Front for Democracy and Justice) led by Isaias Afwerki. Ethiopia was concerned about being relegated to the status of supplying cheap labour for Eritrea; by Eritrean use of their common currency, the birr, to acquire dollars; and by overcharging at the port of Assab. He refutes the criticism that his policies were pro-Eritrean while the war distracts attention from internal criticisms, including similar allegations of a lack of democracy, and that development has been largely confined to Tigray region. news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/special_report/1999/07/99/battle_in_the_horn/399155.stm   (863 words)

News and Letters July 2000 Journal of Marxist-Humanism A more serious liberation movement was established by 1970 in Eritrea, the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (EPLF), which was ideologically inspired by Chairman Mao and had a national democratic program with a line of struggle independent from the influence of the Soviet Union, China and the USA. The overthrow of the Ethiopian regime of Haile Selassie in 1974 following the famine brought to the forefront the pro-Stalinist Workers Party of Ethiopia under the leadership of Mengistu. It was determined to crush all liberation struggles within the Ethiopian empire and almost eradicated the ELF forces in 1978 during the Soviet military intervention. www.newsandletters.org /Issues/2000/July/7.00_horn.htm   (852 words)

Preliminary Analysis of Eritrean-Ethiopian War. (Alasdair Guest) Partly under the tutelege and material support of the EPLF, itself deadlocked in the later stages of the war against the Dergue, the TPLF formed a loose alliance with other ethnic and regionalist groups in Ethiopia in the form of the Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front. A long and bitter internal struggle between several Eritrea liberation movements, with different ethic and political orientations was resolved in the form of the Eritrean Peoples' Liberation Front. In Eritrea this is dominated by the high level of urban unemployment, especially among young people, the reluctance of expatriates to return and contribute their skills to reconstruction, and among the 50% of the population who have Islamic beliefs, principally those in rural areas. www.isf.org.uk /ISFJournal/ISF3/PreliminaryAnalysisOfEritreanEthiopianWar.htm   (4170 words)
