Ethiopia has not managed to institute peaceful transfers of power, or anything resembling it. It seems that power is always exchanged through war. The TPLF, disguised as EPRDF, did hand most civil power to Desalegn in 2012, but that was an exception. Look at Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria etc.. and how ethnic groups are willing to share power and wait their turn. Ethiopia lacks this most basic requirement for stability.
It reminds me of Russia. Who knows what comes after Putin?
Not a proper comparison tbh, Ethiopia (formerly known as Abbysinia) owes its existence to the West, without Western intervention they would not have been able to step down their Mountains and push South.
Russia on the other hand is 80%+ ethnic Rus, they're a country BECAUSE they expanded against everyone else, and they didn't need help doing it.
Hell, it was the British, French, the Ottomans, Italians, Greek, Austro-Hungary, Romania who formed a coalition to take them out, still ended up in failure.
You can't compare your modern day Habesha farmer to a Russian who's building missiles, extracting oil & gas, building pipelines, rockets and so on, it's not even fair lol
