Jan Abbink in the media about turmoil in Ethiopia - an overview

As Ethiopia is experiencing a new round of turmoil, ASCL senior researcher Jan Abbink has been interviewed by several media and has written blogs and articles himself analysing the current situation and its historical background. Abbink emphasises two issues: inequities in the land system and the fact that development consists not only of economic factors but of an overall social, cultural, and political context of inclusiveness - 'a point which remains poorly understood by donors to African countries'.
