Africa Daily

Available for over a year

Can Ethiopia make this election count? A war, a possible famine, ethnic tensions: it’s fair to say the country’s got a lot on its plate right now. And yet, amidst all this, a general election is being held – the first one since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed took office in 2018. Not everyone’s convinced the results will be meaningful, but why exactly? How much does this vote matter? Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) Guest: Kaleb Moges, BBC Amharic. #AfricaDaily
