There have been no elections since the country's independence from Ethiopia in 1993.Civilian authorities in the regime generally maintained effective control over most security forces.The three most important human rights abuses included the inability of citizens to choose their government in free and fair elections; detention without charge under harsh conditions that reportedly sometimes resulted in death; and forced participation in the country's national service program, routinely for periods of indefinite duration beyond the 18-month legal obligation.
