To begin, the Derg regime has eroded the very core of Ethiopia’s nationalist ethos and mutual trust of the people by pitting citizens against one another. This has prepared for the current regime an ideal terrain to do whatever it wanted and fancied. The main culprit for our lack of a sense of outrage at any event is without a doubt the EPRDF or more appropriately the TPLF. To be sure these historical animus among the peoples of Ethiopia were not extraordinary, nor much less of a sinister origin. The current youth on the other hand appears to be rather absorbed by economic ambition and short term gain.
