TL;DR

Abiy Ahmed’s Prosperity Party won a landslide in Ethiopia’s general election, taking 438 of 501 seats and setting the stage for another term, but the vote occurred amid ongoing fighting and repression concerns in Amhara and Oromia, exclusion of Tigray from polling, and rising regional tensions with Eritrea, prompting fears of renewed conflict and international calls for de-escalation.
