FEP Program
Freedom and Equality Party (FEP) is a political organization established to contribute in finding palatable solutions to solve Ethiopia's complex problems. We are motivated to serve our country with a heart filled with love and compassion to our country and its people. FEP’s engagement will be grounded on research-based programs and policies to realize Ethiopia's sustainable growth and prosperity. FEP strives to uphold human and democratic rights, the principles of good governance, the rule of law and establish a political culture in which political power comes only from the people. FEP also exerts effort to ensure citizens’ right to freedom of expression and media and civil society to have role in nation building.

Freedom and Equality Party also strives to ensure lasting peace and sustainable development, and safeguard equitable distribution of wealth between different parts of the country. FEP works towards the eradication of corruption which is a cancer stifling the economic and social development of our country and our people. Respect the language and culture of nationalities, guarantee freedom of religion and worship, and end sexual discrimination are among the top priorities of the party. FEP works diligently for women to have equal access to education and other social services and to be actively involved in the nation building process.

The Freedom and Equality Party has designed its programs and policies taking into account the political realities and evaluating the geo-political and strategic opportunities and threats of our country and deeply scrutinizing African and global political economy and security dynamics.

In order to solve the complex and long-term political problems and challenges of our people Freedom and Equality Party strives two balance and harmonize two contesting policy dilemmas in the Ethiopian politics. On the one hand, it works to build a strong political and economic community that respects the unity of the state. On the other hand, FEP endeavors for the full recognition and respect of ethnic, linguistic, religious, cultural and other identities. To achieve these goals, the Freedom and Equality Party will pursue a balanced policy and strategy.

Freedom and Equality Party will struggle to ensure unity rather than disintegration, togetherness instead of isolation, mutual love rather than hate, peace rather than conflict, trust rather than doubt. FEP will work for sustainable economic development, lasting peace and stability, and true brotherhood among diverse sections of the society. It strives for full and real recognition of all Ethiopian culture, language, traditions, religions and customs in equal footing.

Freedom and Equality Party was established by its founding congress held on March 24, 2018, at Capital Hotel in Addis Ababa, by its founding members from all regions of the country to realize the growth and prosperity of our country by implementing the political, economic, social and foreign relations programs included in this program through peaceful political struggle and free elections.Abdulqadirwiki (talk) 07:46, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
