The 6th edition of Ethiopia’s national elections is set for 21 June 2021. The election takes place in a situation of mixed feelings; hope for the attainment of the promise to transition the country to democracy and fear of what may transpire in the course of the electoral process given the multifaceted problems the country is facing. The webinar, therefore, aims at initiating an informed debate among the Ethiopian Diaspora, friends of Ethiopia and the wider international community. To achieve this, talking points of the webinar include the following. • Making sense of the trajectory leading to the scheduled national election • appraising the current state of affairs pertaining to the election • Outlining possible developments going forward and; • Envisioning post-poll scenarios Date: Tuesday June 1, 2021 Time: 2:30-5:00 EAT (GMT+3)
