After surviving a splitting danger in 2003 when members of the splintering members when arrested by the late leader of the Party, Meles Zenawi, the ruling Party seems to have fallen into another real state of split. A group of EPRDF members who call themselves EPRDF Democratic have just sent us the following press release. The group says, is a mix of old guard and young members of the ruling party, who want “reform” within the Front. It was reported by the pro ruling regime newspaper yesterday, The Reporter, that EPRDF has ‘fired and suspended’ a number of its Executive Committee members who have committed “disciplinary and ethical” errors including the current Minister of Civil Service and Executive member of the EPRDF and OPDO.

Press Release – EPRDF Democratic
Addis Abeba
October 08, 2012
It is to be noted that Ethiopia has been in an economic and political growth in the
past two decades although there have been glitches here and there in every aspect
of our Nation. Especially, since 2005 our great Country has been registering
double digit economic growth. These successes have been garnered through the
collaborative efforts of all four member parties, allies and the great people of
Ethiopia. Our Front’s oldest member, the Tigrean People’s Liberation Front
(TPLF) has spearheaded the struggle against the most dictatorial junta in Africa,
Mengestu Hailemariam’s Derg, which was finally overthrown through the
sacrifices of all EPRDF member parties and the Ethiopian people.
However, despite our hopes and convictions that power and leadership would be
evenly distributed and the TPLF will gradually decrease its hegemony, the
experience has been otherwise. We, the non TPLF member parties and allies of
EPRDF today, are under the full control of the TPLF and it arbitrarily meddles in
our internal workings. Our Party’s economic, security and political clout, as well as
our great Country (the current pandemonium within Oromo People’s Democratic
Organization (OPDP) is one example of this interference). This has for long
created a huge political uncertainty and instability in the country. The international
community, the Ethiopian people and all concerned bodies have been worried that
this power monopoly could immediately change into civil war or an uncontrollable
state of affairs. Considering these scenarios and future risks, We, “Reform
Seeking†members of EPRDF Executive Committee and Congress, have been
pushing and endeavoring for democratic reforms within our Front and Country.
We have been indefatigably arguing and calling the hardcore and extremist sect of
our Front’s leadership to make reforms both within our Front and Country. Our
group believes that for Ethiopia to continue a democratic and united country; our
Front should engage and have a room for each and every Ethiopian party and
individual. Matters of the Front should be conducted in fairness and respect to all,
besides. We have lobbied that our Front’s policies and programs are obsolete and
ought to be reformed.
The hardcore and extremist sects of the EPRDF have so far paid deaf ear to our
requests and at times fired most of our colleagues labeling them “opposition
aficionados and neoliberlasâ€. Similarly, our high hopes of immediate reforms
following the death of our great leader, the late Meles Zenawi, the incoming
leader, Hailemariam Dessalgn, sadly reiterated the unwavering stands of the
hardcore and extremist groups of EPRDF. He stepped on our repeated calls for
reforms and democratization within our Front and Country.
Therefore, we “Reform Seeking†members of the EPRDF,
– Convinced that EPRDF members and Ethiopians have the right and vested
interest to democracy, equality and freedom of/in their Country,
– Conscious that the continued “unwillingness and refusal†of the hardcore and
extremist sects of EPRDF endangers the unity of our Front and the national
security and regional stability of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa,
– Aware that there is a necessity for an immediate and cross sectional reform in
policies, programs, leadership and structures of our Front, we “Reform Seekingâ€
members of the EPRDF declare that we have formed EPRDF Democratic (EPRDF
D).
We therefore, urge the armed forces, member parties, regional states and
international community to stand with the new and reformed EPRDF D. In the
coming days, we will launch our website and publish our new leadership, Party
programs and policies.
