Ethiopia is grappling with ongoing internal conflicts, notably in Tigray and Oromia, as well as strained relations with Eritrea and Egypt. The 2022 Pretoria Agreement aimed to end hostilities but has seen slow implementation, with many Tigrayans frustrated by the lack of accountability and support for displaced individuals.
Meanwhile, the Oromo Liberation Army continues its insurgency, complicating peace efforts. Political grievances have also led to violence among factions within the TPLF and rising tensions with Amhara militias.
The June 1 elections are expected to reinforce Abiy's power but may further alienate opposition groups. If the government fails to address these issues, the potential for a broader conflict increases, risking regional stability.
