    The agreement signed by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethio­pian government on 2 November 2022 offers a real chance to end one of the bloodiest wars in the world. The implementation of the agreement is going well so far. How­ever, the peace process has brought into focus the question of a stable distribution of power within Ethiopia and in the Horn of Africa. The government under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed faces three key challenges. First, it must integrate the TPLF and at the same time disengage from the partnership with Eritrea. Second, it must rebalance the domestic relationship between the main political actors in order to stop the escalating violence in the states of Amhara and Oromia. Finally, it must bring together a society divided and impoverished by war. International partners should support Ethiopia in addressing these challenges with conditional financial assistance and peacebuilding projects.

    Ethiopia has long been in a period of upheaval characterised by massive levels of violence. Relations between the largest ethnic groups are in flux, as is their relationship with the government. The state lacks legitimacy in the central regions of the country, its monopoly on the use of force is contested, and it does not have enough financial resources to provide for the population on a nationwide scale. The national dialogue is intended to facilitate Ethiopia’s transformation and increase support for the state among the population. However, the conditions for a confidence-building dialogue are not in place, given the armed uprisings in the two most populous states of Amhara and Oromia; the severely restricted independence of the media and freedom of expression; and the dominance of the ruling party in parliament and society. An additional structured dialogue at the level of the most important political players could mitigate one of the main weaknesses of the process. International actors who, like Germany, support the national dialogue should be careful not to allow themselves to be used for authoritarian consolidation.
