The main political events of the year were the May national parliamentary elections and the massive Oromo revolt against the Addis Ababa Masterplan, which had aimed to incorporate Oromo farmlands. The elections were won, as expected, by the ruling eprdf, with none of the 547 seats conceded to the opposition. It was a lacklustre and subdued event, with little international press coverage, and was regarded with deep scepticism and scorn by Ethiopian opposition parties, independent observers and most of the international community. The Oromo revolt led to major upheaval, with some 400 people killed and the government’s land policy at risk.
