The Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission (ENDC) announced on Friday that the upcoming National Dialogue Conference will officially begin on July 15, 2026, marking the final phase of a comprehensive national dialogue process initiated to address the country's deep-seated ethnic and political tensions. The ENDC has been working tirelessly to bring together representatives from various ethnic groups, political parties, and civil society organizations to discuss and resolve long-standing issues, including the country's federal system, land rights, and the role of the military. The conference is expected to be a significant milestone in Ethiopia's transition to a more inclusive and peaceful society, and its success will depend on the ability of the participants to reach consensus on key issues and commit to implementing the agreed-upon reforms. With the conference set to begin in July, the international community is watching closely, hoping that the outcome will pave the way for a more stable and prosperous future for the Ethiopian people.
