Die Demokratisierung Äthiopiens auf einem schmalen Grat zwischen Erfolg und Scheitern

Eigentlich sollten im August 2020 Parlamentswahlen in Äthiopien abgehalten werden. Doch in Anbetracht der Corona-Pandemie wurden diese auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben. Damit steht die Frage der demokratischen Legitimation für die ambitionierte Reformpolitik des Premierministers Abiy Ahmed Ali weiterhin aus. Zwar scheinen die begonnenen Reformen das Land in vielerlei Hinsicht auf einen guten Weg gebracht zu haben - und sie erfahren international viel Zuspruch und Unterstützung. Doch so vielversprechend die Vorhaben auch sein mögen: Das Land steht weiterhin vor großen Herausforderungen. Neben dem Friedenschluss mit Eritrea, der Fortsetzung der Demokratisierung und der Bekämpfung der hohen Armut betrifft dies vor allem die weiterhin bestehenden starken ethnischen Spannungen. Zuletzt eskalierten diese erneut, als es in Folge der Ermordung eines populären Sängers der Oromo-Volksgruppe zu gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen kam, bei denen über 200 Menschen zu Tode kamen. Äthiopien steht am Scheideweg: Gelingt es Abiy, das Land nicht nur zu öffnen, sondern auch zu einen? Oder droht mit seinem Scheitern auch das Auseinanderfallen der Nation?
