?Mr. President,

What motivated the ENPCP members to write this humble letter is the historic speech you delivered to the Ghanaian Parliament in Accra, on 11 th July 2009. No American President has ever accurately encapsulated, as you did, the stark reality prevailing in present day governance by leaders in Africa.?

Ethiopian National Priorities Consultative Process(ENPCP)
Declaration on Free and Fair Election in Ethiopia
15th May 2009

WHEREAS 15th May 2009 marks the fourth anniversary of Ethiopia’s ill fated election, in which elected parliamentarians were thrown to jail; at least 193 innocent individuals were killed; an unknown number of people were injured and exiled; over 40 000 supporters of opposition groups were imprisoned in remote internment camps; and the actors of this and other crimes against humanity continue to operate with impunity;
CONCERNED that Ethiopia is entering the May 2010 election without fulfilling the minimum requirement for free and fair election; and without resolving the critical problems that led to the crisis of May 2005;
CONVINCED that a national free and fair election is a priority for forging national unity, peace and promoting good governance; and consistent to the widely held view that political pluralism, toleration of dissent and the right and ability to hold free and fair elections, unfettered by fraud or violence, is a requisite for accountability and democratic governance;

The Launching of the Ethiopian National Priorities Consultative Process (ENPCP) May 5, 2009

This first communiqué announces the launching of the Ethiopian National Priorities Consultative Process (ENPCP.)

A sovereign Ethiopia having a full fledged democracy, respect for human rights and rule of law as well as a prospering economy while being at peace with itself and the neighboring countries.

• Long-term Objective -- To establish modern democratic institutions in which the Ethiopian people will exercise, in a sustainable manner, their political rights in a fully democratic context where respect for human rights and rule of law will be supreme.

• Short-term Objective -- To identify and bring together concerned civic-minded and respectable individuals and rights-based civic organizations to form the core of the ENPCP.
