EZEMA’s Four “Core Problems of Ethiopia”: A Diagnosis Without Literacy of Ethiopian History
By Biqila Bariso (PhD, Physics; MSc, Cognitive Sci.) Posted on2025-12-132025-12-10

EZEMA claims Ethiopia faces four fundamental problems, but its diagnosis reveals profound political illiteracy. By blaming the EPRDF for an “ethnic problem” and proposing the absurd abolition of ethnic politics, EZEMA misreads Ethiopia’s history, structure, and lived realities. This article exposes why EZEMA’s worldview collapses under scrutiny — from sovereignty and rights to poverty and national narrative — and why Ethiopia’s future cannot be grounded in such conceptual blindness.

The First Principles Violated: The Simple Truth Behind a Century of Ethiopian Instability
By Biqila Bariso (PhD, Physics; MSc, Cognitive Sci.) Posted on2025-12-112025-12-11

Politics remains the only profession where immense power requires no mastery of first principles, and nowhere is this more destructive than in Ethiopia. Identity is reshaped, consent bypassed, and self-determination denied—violations that predictably produce rebellion, collapse, and endless conflict. This article distills the political laws of stability Ethiopia keeps defying, and shows why stability, peace, and development will remain elusive until its leaders embrace these foundational truths. It ends with a postscript message to the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission (ENDC), warning it against repeating the foundational violations at the root of Ethiopia’s instability.

The Politics of Spite—How Oromia’s Foundations Expose the Empty Ambitions of a Troubled Region
By Elemoo Qilxuu, Kumaa Daadhii and Olii Boran Posted on2025-11-122025-11-09

Oromia now faces a widening expansionist push—driven by local opportunists, reinforced by external actors, and carried along by a region long caught up in the politics of spite that has defined the Horn. These forces promote territorial fantasies that collapse under scrutiny. The article argues that only a free, self-determined Oromia can break this cycle, restoring stability to the Horn and creating the conditions for a genuine synergy of prosperity with its neighbors.

When Power Fears Light: The Parable of an Empire Half-Blind
By Olii Boran Posted on2025-11-062025-11-03

Ethiopia’s empire survived not through shared prosperity but through a half-blind fear of equality. Like the parable of rulers who preferred to lose one eye just to blind their people twice over, it clung to domination instead of development, coercion instead of consent. A century of brilliance was wasted on internal siege rather than nation-building. Yet a different future is possible — one built on voluntary partnership, equal dignity, and the courage to imagine freedom beyond imperial habit.

Peaceful Divorce, Shared FutureHow voluntary sovereignty + economic interdependence could turn Ethiopia’s zero-sum politics into shared prosperity.

Ethiopia’s century-long attempt to centralize diverse nations has produced recurring conflict, mistrust, and economic stagnation. A peaceful, lawful divorce — followed by a rules-based common economic area — offers a path to turn zero-sum politics into shared prosperity. Article 39 provides the consent mechanism; AfCFTA/IGAD/COMESA/EAC offer ready economic scaffolding. If one flag cannot deliver peace and dignity, multiple flags cooperating through open markets and guaranteed corridors may finally do

When A Foreign Scholar Trips Over Authoritarian PoliticsA Red Alert on Foreign Commentaries about Ethiopia’s National Dialogue and Unity
By Roobaa Hawaas Posted on2025-10-102025-10-10

A recent 'The Conversation' article by a foreign scholar lauds Ethiopia’s new dam and National Dialogue as signs of national unity. Yet beneath its polished tone lies a troubling detachment from Ethiopia’s lived realities. When foreign scholars echo autocratic narratives, they lend legitimacy to repression. Academic distance must not become moral distance — especially in a land scarred by stormy landscapes and rifted terrains of conflict, exclusion, and historical injustice.

The Compendium of Ignorance: Anatomy of Amhara Pseudo-Elite Stereotypes Against the Oromo
By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-10-092025-10-09

Ignorance, when disguised as intellect, has long shaped Ethiopia’s moral decay. This compendium exposes how Amhara pseudo-elites turned mockery of Oromo language, names, and heritage into a badge of honour. Through evidence, reflection, and irony, it reveals that ignorance is not mere absence of knowledge — it is the arrogance that resists enlightenment.
