Psychological trauma afflicts when individuals and groups are forced to abandon their age-old belief system created by their unique cultures. Forced conversion, because it inflicts psychological trauma should be a compensable crime.
Though forced christianization was more severe in the northern Ethiopia than in the south, nevertheless it's a crime against the humanity of Muslims and pagans.
Ethiopia should establish a committee of experts sourced from law, religion and psychotherapy, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to establish documents of suffering and corresponding compensations by Ethiopia.
