Ethiopia’s Internal Crisis Spilling Over: A Case of Political “Bowel Obstruction”
Ethiopia’s internal political, ethnic, and economic dysfunction is no longer contained. The nation is experiencing what can metaphorically be called a “bowel obstruction” — a blockage of critical political pathways that should allow for movement, negotiation, and healing. But instead, everything is stuck, toxic, and building pressure. And now, it’s spilling over.

What’s the obstruction?
Ethnic Federalism turned Ethnic Fragmentation – Instead of empowering regions, it has become a source of division and power struggles.

Authoritarian Centralization – The regime in Finfinne (Addis Ababa) attempts to control everything with no real outlet for dialogue or federal balance.

Suppression of Dissent – Political voices are crushed, not channeled. The blockage tightens.

Broken Institutions – Judiciary, parliament, and media are all constricted or compromised. Nothing flows.
