Your vision of reverting Ethiopia to a fantasy of Amhara neo-colonial map—stripping away the hard-earned recognition of its diverse nations and nationalities—is not just an unrealistic dream; it would be a catastrophe for millions whose very identity was suppressed under such centralized rule.
What you present as a dream is, in fact, a deeply regressive proposition that disregards generations of struggle for dignity, representation, and the right to self-expression. To imagine erasing federalism is to ignore the painful lessons of history and to impose a singular identity on a beautifully plural nation. That’s not unity—it’s domination dressed as nostalgia.
True emotional intelligence involves empathy—the ability to understand how others feel and why. It means engaging with perspectives outside one’s own, especially when proposing ideas with profound societal implications. Unfortunately, your suggestion lacks that empathy and the sensitivity required to hold a mature national conversation.
Dreams built on the silencing of others’ truths are not dreams at all—they are political delusions masquerading as vision, and they risk reopening wounds that history has not yet fully healed. Ethiopia’s path forward cannot be charted by romanticizing a coercive past, but by embracing a future rooted in mutual respect, genuine equality, and consent. The constituent nations and nationalities are not subjects to be dictated to—they are partners in a federation, with the sovereign right to remain, to reform, to confederate, or to part ways. That choice belongs to them—and only to them. But, keep dreaming! Your right.
