Bringing new leaders at the helm of the party’s top leadership that should also redraw the coming federal government’s hierarchy, the ruling Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) has claimed full acceptance of the public.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has snubbed Western donor countries and praised India and China as ‘dependable allies’ as he advised African countries to take advantage of the new the global frontier, created after the economic and financial crises. According to him, the stabilized political scene is ready to withstand pressure from "market fundamentalists".

The Eighth Organizational Conference of EPRDF re-elected Meles Zenawi as Chairperson of EPRDF.

At least 123 militiamen of the Ogaden National Liberation Front- the rebel forces fighting the Ethiopian government have been killed by Ethiopian army.

Meles Zenawi, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia said his country is expected to achieve the World Banks’s (WB) lower-middle income level classification by 2015, under the recently launched development and transformation plan – a new strategy aimed at creating an ambitious 15% growth in the Ethiopian economy over the next five years.

Ethiopia's political elites have been in thorny disagreements on whether this or that ideology would fit to prosper the nation yielding polarized political regimes since the creation of Ethiopia. Dissidents were considered as a nuisance by the various political regimes in Ethiopia. The prevailing political system was such an unaccommodating one that whoever was opposed to the ruling class had to be imprisoned, tortured or at best eliminated. Taking up arms was the order of the day. As rifts escalated within the same political circle or in the other extreme, political elites became furious of one another.

The Ethiopian government said today that negotiations are in progress to reach an agreement with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) - who have fought for the eastern regions right to self-determination since 1984.

The next five year economic transformation plan means that the Federal Government needs to come up with unprecedented amount of public expenditures, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi indicated this week.

The peace accord signed between the government and the United Western Somali Liberation Front (UWSLF) has considered the mutual interest of the people, one central committee of the Ogden National Liberation (ONLF) Front has said.

Ethiopia's government will sign a peace deal with the United Western Somali Liberation Front, a rebel organization that has been fighting for independence in the ethnic Somali region in the east of the country.
