If you understanding of Walleligne Mekonnen, who is considered as, although not clear if it is rightly or wrongly, a champion of the politics of “nations, nationalities and people,” is blurry, the interview below ( in Amharic) is a must watch.

Gizaw Zewdu, who is a member of the Walleligne era generation of of Addis Ababa University, has spent a good deal of time analyzing Walleigne.

His interview with also give you clarity whether the generation of his time (Ya Tewuld) is to be blamed for everything that happened to Ethiopia or not.

  1. The Ethiopian agricultural system is the most obsolete, and poor by all standards after half a century. You still pay attention to a man who created all the mess that is happening now. He copied his idea from Stalin .What do we gain from this in this digital world?

  2. Walleligne Mekonnen? What did he really stand for?”

    He was an agent doped to advance a foreign ideology designed to destroy Ethiopia and it’s people. Nothing he said or wrote grew from the realities of Ethiopian people who for centuries have been savagely destroyed by poverty, destitution and repressive governments. He was a symbol as well as the generation of people that followed his wicked ideas left a rich legacy of hate, division and lawlessness that will around for the foreseeable future.
