Extract

After the fall of Ethiopia’s tyrannical military regime in May 1991, there is more than ever a commitment to create institutions that embody ideals of popular sovereignty, political equality and pluralism. A democratic constitution is in the making. A constitutional commission has undertaken to draw up a draft. Upon the approval of the draft constitution by the council of representatives of the transitional government, it will be presented to a popularly elected constituent assembly for ratification in 1993.
