Ethiopia: US official calls for environment allowing all political parties to participate, Reporter (2009)

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East African Affairs, Karl Wycoff told journalists yesterday that he has raised his government’s concerns that an enabling environment should be made for “the participation of the full range of political actors.” “We have something what looks like progress to my eyes, the [electoral code of conduct] and the dialogue that has been established between some members of the opposition and the government. The US supports that. At the same we have made clear to our interlocutors the importance of establishing an atmosphere and an environment in Ethiopia that enables the full participation of the full range of political actors in Ethiopia in a way that would lead to a free and fair elections,” Wycoff said during a press conference that was held at the US embassy in Addis Ababa.
