The Hitherto Inclusive Cooperations, Which Could Make a Difference in Ethiopia

In liberation struggle against the oppressive Abyssinian empire’s system, we had passed through different phases and we had formed different alliances. The struggle has almost always been done by two ideologically opposite political camps, i.e. by unionists, who want to liberate oppressed nations in the empire and build, where possible, union of free peoples, and by unitarists, who do disregard autonomy of nations, but want to liberate individual citizens from any sort of oppression. In other words, it has been the struggle by those emphasizing group (national) liberty and by those stressing individual (citizens’) freedom. Despite their similarity in socialist ideology, one of the major differences between Ici'at and Me’ison was their tendency towards being unionist and unitarist, respectively. Ici'at, being dominated and led by intellectuals, had been for self-determination of nations in a sense of having their own national autonomy within Oropian (Oromummà led Ethiopian) union, whereas, Meison being dominated and led by intellectuals, had been for self-determination of nations in a sense of exercising their cultures within unitary Ethiopia without national autonomy.

In a further process, politicians in Me’ison and Ihapa, after being brutally beaten by the Ethiofascist Derg, opted to join their kins in OLF and TPLF, respectively. Then, Ihapa with its unitarist view had taken power in form of TPLF, and unionist Me’ison in form of OLF is still the main opposition/rebel group against this Ihapa-dominated regime. Simply put, the struggle between unionist Me’ison and unitarist Ihapa is still going on indirectly. After coming to power, unitarist TPLF was compelled to accept and respect certain elements of unionist OLF, so that it signed the 1991 Charter, which formally accepted right of all nations and nationalities to have their own self-rule within Ethiopia. But in practice, TPLF has chosen to implement more unitarist or centralist elements of its own, neglecting that of unionists. That is why TPLF:s Ethiopia was de jure union, but de facto unitary state. Leaving pre-1974-revolution history for historians and just looking at the alliances forged by polity in the empire since then, we can notice rise and fall of the following ten alliances:
