Abstract

Ethiopia has a diverse political past and a range of political heroes from diverse backgrounds. This is because politicians have not attempted to forge a broad consensus on the state, instead focusing on dealing with and agreeing upon specific aspects of local nation construction. As a result, it's critical to project future Ethiopian progress in order to choose political paths that will support the country's future. For this, document analysis and observation has been conducted. Therefore the result is presented as follow. Since the adoption of its 1995 constitution; Ethiopia has implemented ethnic-based political administrations in each of its regions. With constitutionally empowered statements enabling the establishment of states based on the settlement patterns, linguistic diversity, cultural identity, and consent of the people in question. However, the varied ways those governments interpret and carry out their policies result in a variety of violations of the citizens' human, social, economic, and political rights. Based on this, it is better to take a different political action based on common consensus from deferent social groups. From other experience inclusive political path other than one based on ethnicity unless it will lead to severe aggression against human, social, economic, and political rights and the creation of statelessness as described by different events that occurred in different parts of Ethiopia.
