"no real support from the regions"
[edit]"In addition the parties enjoy no real support from the regions they are supposed to represent," according to whom?
A lot more information is needed.Aasgaard 00:44, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
communist?
[edit]Is this party communist? --Hobojoe9127 01:28, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
No it is a capitalist party. This nation is ruled by capitalist forces, not by communist or socialist forces. --UDSS (talk) 10:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Actually the most powerful party the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and specifically the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray of which the Prime Minister Meles Zenawi (Legesse Zenawi) was a member of. This group the MLLT was a Communist branch of the already communist TPLF which PM Legesse (Meles) Zenawi is a member of. The EPRDF has a facade of a "capitalist" party however in the Ethiopian society, they operate under strict communist structure with the State Owning Land. There is no private landownership in Ethiopia. There maybe a few "foreigners" who own land however no Ethiopian national (by Birth and Blood and Ethnicity) can own land in Ethiopia under the EPRDF. This EPRDF is neither "Democratic" but it is definitely genocidal as it has shown in the Ogaden and the Gambella regions in Ethiopia. Puhleec (talk) 01:23, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
- While I believe you are pretty much on the mark with these comment, Puhleec, it would be far more effective for this article if you could provide reliable sources to confirm this explanation. (I should be able to but I take crappy notes, & don't remember where I saw the facts which support your statement.) -- llywrch (talk) 06:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Founding date
[edit]So the infobox says the EPRDF was founded in May 1988, but the history section says the EPRDF was formed in early-1989. So, which is right? When was the EPRDF actually founded? (The Professor (Time Lord) (talk) 03:50, 30 April 2019 (UTC))
Prosperity party
[edit]Should we create a new page, or rename this one?--Aréat (talk) 01:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Aréat: Personally I think we should create a new one, and list the EPRDF as dissolved on this page. Generally, successor parties receive new entries as long as they're new official organizations. The Prosperity Party is, officially, a separate institution from the EPRDF. Furthermore, it excludes the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, which was traditionally the core of the EPRDF. The Prosperity Party isn't a clean break but it is, technically, a new institution with some important differences from the EPRDF.Jogarz1921 (talk) 20:36, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Jogarz1921:I think so too, although it's not quite clear at the moment whether the others parties may join eventually.--Aréat (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Aréat and Jogarz1921: I am also strongly in favor of a new article for the Prosperity Party. I suggest the creation of a draft. Charles Essie (talk) 20:57, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Aréat and Jogarz1921: A draft has been created. Feel free to participate. Charles Essie (talk) 17:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I edited as much as I could right now.--Aréat (talk) 04:53, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Charles Essie: Well, it seem @Varavour: went ahead and vreated a stub Prosperity Party. --Aréat (talk) 09:06, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

"Opponents" of the "General Population of Ethiopia"?
[edit]The second infobox has one of the EPRDF's opponents as "Ethiopians - General Population of Ethiopia" from 1991-2018. The link takes you to People of Ethiopia. I'm guessing a person with an anti-EPRDF bias added this in at one point? 50.234.76.254 (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "AddisStand_5Oct2020_endofmandate":
- From Tigray War: "News: Tigray region says it will defy federal laws enacted as of Oct. 05; EDP calls for transitional gov't, inclusive dialogue & reconciliation". Addis Standard. 29 September 2020. Archived from the original on 24 November 2020. Retrieved 24 November 2020.
- From Coalition of Ethiopian Federalist Forces: "News: Tigray region says it will defy federal laws enacted as of Oct. 05; EDP calls for transitional gov't, inclusive dialogue & reconciliation". Addis Standard. 2020-09-29. Archived from the original on 2020-11-24. Retrieved 2020-11-24.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:35, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
