rahel bafe, chairwoman of ethiopia's political partiesjoint council, which is a coalition of more thanon groups, says, "the ruling prosperity party is approaching "the dialogue as though it were the arbiter of the process "rather than another equal stakeholder against whom "accusation will be levelled." and she says that the selection process of the commissioners for the national dialogue was not clear and that they were mostly sympathetic to the abiy government. what's your response? i know some of the commission members, and from what i know, they're very independent professionals, and some of them have been staff at the united nations, senior staff of the united nations and came back after retirement. so the process, the selection process, has been very transparent. it was based on public participation. but i'm sure rahel must have a reason to say what she has said. all right. well, the national dialogue, it is still working out what it's going to do, and it's rather vague in its sayings, but it is supposed to, we understand, to tackle fundamental questions such as ethiopia's future
