| dc.description.abstract | The per-electoral period of 2005 was a historic opening of democratic space in Ethiopia. Despite continuing obstacles, the country had benefited from the ruling party's desire for a' flawless ' election that would show Ethiopia's democratic progress. The incumbent for the first time had to face a democratic challenge. However, its fruit had a bitter taste. In the after math of the election, the major opposition ' irresponsibility' discarded the Verdict of the public. On the other hand, the 'rigid' political behavior of the ruling party had led to a political deadlock. In 2008, the government expanded its full control over the local administration . Surprisingly enough, it ensured a total monopoly over the federal parliament in the current election 2010; a situation that remind us the last decade of the 20 th century. In between the ' election events ', repressive laws were enacted that curtailed the political space. This coup led by political intimidation against the 'neutralize d ' opposition, the per-election period of the 2010 election became gloomy. The study argues that there is the tendency of a return to ' authoritarianism' in the country. The research reviewed the weakness and the strengths that the 2005 election had, and its impact on the 2010 per-election process . it also tries to assess the situation and major activities carried out in Between the Election Events ' that help to caste light on the political direction to which the country is moving. | en_US |
