Ethiopia's Federal System

Ethiopia's federal system is a form of government where the country is divided into regional states, each with its own government and some autonomy, especially in cultural and language matters. This structure recognizes Ethiopia's diverse ethnic groups, allowing them to govern their own affairs within a federal framework. The federal government handles national issues like defense and foreign policy, while regional states manage local concerns. This decentralized approach aims to balance unity with cultural and ethnic diversity, promoting self-rule and reducing conflicts by granting different groups a degree of independence within a unified country.
