Abstract:
This study examines the socio-political and economic upheavals in Ethiopia’s Amhara Regional State since 2020, focusing on conflict-driven adversity, institutional deconstruction, and rehabilitation challenges. Through a sys tematic literature review and analysis of media reports, the paper highlights structural violence, federalism frag mentation, and gaps in post-conflict recovery. Findings reveal 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), a 37% GDP decline in agricultural zones, and flawed reconciliation efforts. The study calls for inclusive dialogue, land reforms, and gender-sensitive policies to address root causes of instability.
