The Transitional government of Ethiopia was established immediately after the fall of the Dergue regime. It was led by Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia. Zenawi remains the prime minister of Ethiopia to this day.
In 1995 a constitution was adopted which ended the period of transition and created a democratic federal structure for the government. It made adopted the name "Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" for the country, and redrew the provinces into ethnicity based regions, similar to how India formed its states soon after independence.
