Coalition of Ethiopian Democratic Forces

The Coalition of Ethiopian Democratic Forces (abbreviated COEDF) was a political coalition in Ethiopia, formed by former arch-rivals MEISON and the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party during the final phase of the Derg regime.[1] Marsa Yosef (a key EPRP leader) served as the chairman of COEDF.[2]

During the transitional period after the fall of the Derg, TPLF and EPRDF excluded COEDF from the Council of Representatives. Notably COEDF lacked any military force of its own as a means of pressure.[3]
