Much Ado About Nothing—The Illusion of Elections in Oromia and Ethiopia
By Kumaa Daadhii (PhD, Political History) Posted on2026-03-232026-03-23
The forthcoming Oromia and Ethiopia elections are being presented as competitive democratic contests, complete with debates, campaigns, and political messaging. Yet beneath the spectacle lies a political reality many already understand: elections that confirm power rather than contest it. But the real story may not lie in the predictable outcome. It lies on the sidelines—in the debates, the personalities, the rhetoric, and the revealing moments that quietly expose the true nature of politics in Oromia and Ethiopia today.

EZEMA’s Four “Core Problems of Ethiopia”: A Diagnosis Without Literacy of Ethiopian History

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 Death of Federalism by AgendaEthiopia's Drift Toward Imperial Revivalism
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-062025-06-05
Federalism in Ethiopia is under existential threat. What was once a constitutional promise of self-rule and cultural dignity is now being dismantled under the guise of reform. The regime’s recent agenda, advanced through a highly questionable commission, signals a retreat to imperial centralism. This is not just a political maneuver—it is a fundamental negation of the federalism millions fought for and continue to defend.
