Serious Organised Crime in Ethiopia

<p dir="ltr">This rapid literature review explores the main serious and organised crime (SOC) markets, actors, and dynamics in Ethiopia. There is limited data and literature available on organised crime and criminal markets in Ethiopia in part due to Ethiopia’s focus on transnational trafficking, as well as relatively recent reforms. Some of this focus is also due to the fact that Ethiopia has recently undergone a conflict, a transition, and is the location of numerous terrorist organisations. Some of these organisations have complicated interfaces with organised criminal groups, but it is both the conflict and terrorist organisations that have garnered the plurality of international academic focus.</p>
