Active participation of the general public is vital in the upcoming national dialogue process to achieve lasting peace and national unity. So far, the activities of Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission are encouraging.
The commission should strengthen its efforts to ensure inclusivity in the remaining preparation period so as to make the dialogue achieve its goal.
All citizens have to actively take part in the national dialogue. Ethiopia set the dialogue to bring lasting peace and national harmony through consensus. The engagement of all segments of society at all levels is vital to entertain diversified ideas and to achieve the goal of the dialogue.
