To ensure the
rule of law, freedom, and democratic governance in Ethiopia, the opposition mainly
use two modes of struggle. What appears to be the dominant modus operandi is peaceful
struggle, to which all the political parties operating in Ethiopia are required
to subscribe. Armed struggle is preferred by other opposition parties/groups,
whose scale of operation seems unclear to date. A limited number of groups
claim to be eclectic in their approaches, vowing to use any means available to
bring genuine change. The government of Ethiopia dubbed those groups that use the
last two approaches as “terrorists” and hence, their physical presence is limited
to the jungles and foreign capitals.
