“Succession should not only be about individuals; policies that don’t work ought to also be replaced.”

Dawit G. Egziabher, a business mogul and former TPLF member, said this while arguing against the official line about succession, a political process within the EPRDF that entails transition of power from the old generation of leaders to the new generation. In his exclusive interview with Reporter, an Amharic weekly, published on Sunday, August 16, 2015, Dawit argued that the policy the ruling party is following in Tigray is not working and needs to be replaced.
