Unveiling the Political Geography of Ethiopia: Beyond the Commonsense  

Without going into details, I feel so compelled to share some of Ato Getachew Reda’s (Head of Tigray Interim Admin) views during his interview with Journalist Simeneh Bayfers  and Prof. Birhanu Nega’s (a member of Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice Party and who is serving as the current Minister of Education of Ethiopia) remark during an elite level dialogue titled “የመደመር ትውልድ መቅረጽ”. They recognized two contemporary states of affairs that our nation is engulfed in, but their comments received insufficient attention. In this analysis, I demonstrate that when considered in conjunction with other contemporary global trends, the problems underlined by these personalities are actually far more serious matters that merit our careful examination. This article is all about explicating that.

Note: I am not fans of any of their former political accomplishments, nor do I support their present political endeavors. Our interest in reflecting on their views only arose when we crossed on some matters that, given our position of expertise and experience, I believe, are interesting to comment on.
