Greetings, esteemed readers of Enderasie,
It is with immense joy and a deep sense of pride that we announce the first anniversary of Enderasie; our monthly digest dedicated to analytically reviewing with policy insights the monthly currents of the Ethiopian federal parliament, the House of Peoples’ Representatives. As we cross the threshold into our second year, we reflect on a journey made possible by your unwavering support. We owe a debt of gratitude to you, our readers, for engaging with our past twelve editions and for the invaluable insights you have shared through your feedback. As we embark on this new chapter, our promise to you remains firm; we will continue to refine our craft, bridging the gaps where we faltered and fortifying the strengths you have come to value.
Thank you for being part of our story.
The members of HoPR carried out their traditional constitutional duties during the month of Yekatit. Their regular meetings this month consisted of only one emergency session. Beyond that, as it is the month of Yekatit, it is known to be a period, in addition to the constituency work conducted from July to the end of September, where they perform their representational duties from Yekatit 1 to Yekatit 30. In this regard, during this month of Yekatit, many representatives were sent to their respective electoral districts to discuss issues raised by citizens, ranging from good governance to the current status of sea outlets, and from infrastructure to security and peace matters. This 13th edition of Bridge, Volume 2, has been compiled by organizing these issues by category and including the monthly Bridge analytical overview.
