What l really do not understand, Abyi should speak English if he does mot want to speak Amharic and have his speech trsnslated. So tacky mixing English with Amharic. Might as well. Awful for a country' leader doing that. Amanglish. People follow leader, whatkind of people and generation are you creating that will affect their cognitive ability? Unless he is doing it on purpose, not sure why. He looks like he is giving lecture. Is the show meant for public or it was supposed to be private. Still, this is not the way

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has been trying to invent his own form of political ideology which he calls 'homegrown'! But as he himself said so many times with his metaphor of 'the bottle and the water'. The bottle which is the 'form' the container which we call in cognitive science, the concept and the water which is the 'the content', the substance.

The political ideology of 'Medemer' is simply an eclectic collection of political ideas packaged in a conceptual framework called Medemer. Abiy can't invent a new political or social ideology - that is to say a new science of society. In the course of selecting and composing various ideas from existing theories and ideologies, he is forced to use the original languages of those ideas. Calling 'democracy' ሕዝብ ገዝ does not make it an Ethiopian idea. So he is in a funny dilemma - he really wants to invent something new that goes by his name but every time he thinks about political ideology or forms of social organization he falls back to same existing social sciences. It is a futile effort.

Medemer መከመር፣ መጨመር፣ መሰብሰ፣ መቆለል ማለት ነው ። The kind of political ideas he trying articulate are described by concepts such as association, collective, gathering, cooperation, መሰብሰብ፣ ሀብረት፣ ሀብረሰባዊነት፣ ማህበር ወዘተ። አገር በቀል የሚባሉት የኢትዮጵያ ሃሳቦች ማህበር፣ ሰምበቴ፣ እድር፣ ጅጊ፣ ደቦ፣ ገዳ፣ ሴራ፣ ጉባኤ ወዘተ። እነሱን ወደ ዘመናዊ የፖለቲካ ስርዓት ከፍ ማድረግ ከፈለገ ስለነዚህ ያገር ሃሳቦች ማሰብ ሲገባው ስለ ምዕራብ ሃስቦች እያወራ አዲስ ቲኦሪ አለኝ ማለት አይችልም።

This guy is trying his hardto sound intellectual in front of his assorted ethnic hodgepodge (PP) members. Other good observers can easily decipher this guy is merely an imposter,and his ideas full of holes.

Has himself learnt from mistakes of TPLF??

Does he understand ethnic based politics is the root cause of all the problems we are witnessing in Ethiopia?

This stupid man accusing us of "blaming past government " what is wrong with criticizing past policies?

Ethiopians are now blaming "PP" the 2nd woyane.

.TPLF politics is alive under this idiot who had all the opportunities to discard the corrosive woyane policy.

His assumptions that Ethiopians are incapable of analyzing ethiopian politics and its deficiency can only described as ludicrous and a symptom of a dictatorship.

Abiye said again and again that “he will not negotiate on ethnic federalism and ethnic politics”. Period. He added 2 more killils and silently allowed the Oromo special force to be mechanized.

I hate dishonest people like Horus. No matter how hard you spin it, you can’t change Abiye.
As I said before, several times, with ethnic politics the end result is the same - endless conflict and chaos. For all this episodes of conflict, murder and corruption Abiye is not the only responsible person but also those opportunistic people like Berhanu Nega who are serving him as ministers are equally responsible.

TGAA,
I stand to be corrected but I strongly doubt that Abiy has any meaningful exposure to classical or modern theory of the state, political theory of any philosophy of government. Right in front his eyes there two parties in Addis whose sole preoccupation have been articulation of their respective political philosophies - one liberal and another social justice. where does Medemer framework stand v. these huge political philosophies?

As you have correctly asked Abiy not only has no clear idea about the relationship between order and freedom, he never talks about the liberties and rights of persons, individuals and citizens. This is why I said that he has no familiarity with folks like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Thomas Paine or Rousseau. He is simply comparing on a definitional level different forms of regimes such as monarchy, ochlocracy, kleptocracy, autocracy etc.

Abiy doesn't understand the difference between the nature of the Ethiopian state and the form of regime Abiy is trying to organize. As the result he tries to make a distinction between TPLF's style of rule with own. He never talk about the character of the Ethiopia state which is one confusing ethnocratic mess and essentially as he called it the rule of the mob or menga - ochlocracy. Social science has no political philosophy or theory of ethnic rule or government by ethnicity.

Hence, history will prove that Medemer as a homegrown political economic system of ethnocracy will never function. Most of the existing methods of organizing a political society or a political community were tested by thousands of years of actual practice and the operation of human nature. Ethiopians are no different. The notion of freedom of the individual is rooted in the nature of man. The notion of justice and social justice are rooted in the nature of man. The need for order and law for the peace and security of the people is rooted in the nature of man and the requirements of evolution. I repeat, Abiy will not, cannot crate a new social theory of Ethiopian ethnocratic confusion. Certain illusions born of ignorance are better discarded than throwing good effort after the failed bad ones.

መደመር መደበል ማለት ነው ። መድብለ ሕዝብ ማህበረሰብ ማለት ነው ። ፖሊቲካ የተፈጠረው ግለሰቦች መድብለ ሕዝብ መሆን ስላቃታቸው አይደለም። ፖለቲካ የተፈጠረውና የፖለቲካ ሳይንስና ስርዓት አላማ አንድ የህዝብ ድምር፣ መድብለ ሕዝብ፣ በምን አይነት መንገድ ቢደራጅ ነው ነጻነቱና መብቱ ተከብረው፣ በሕግ እየተገዛ የሁሉም ሰው ሰላም፣ ህልውና፣ ድሀንነት፣ ብልጽግናና ደስታ የሚረጋገጠው የሚለውን ችግር ለመፍታት ነው።

በሌላ አነጋገር መደመር የፖለቲካ ኮንሴፕት አይደለም ። የፖለቲካ ኮንሴፕት የሚመለከተው ስለ ስልጣን፣ መብት፣ ነጻነት፣ መንግስት፣ ወዘተ ነው ። አቢይ ስለነዚህ ጉዳዮች አንስቶ አያውቅም ። ደሞ ስለ መንግስት ምንነት፣ ስለ ሰው ልጅ ነጻነትና መብት፣ ስለ ህግ ገዝነትና ፖለቲካዊ ስርዓት ሳያነሳ ያገር መሪ ሊሆን አይችልም !

Ethiopia needs
- to tweak the constitution for federalism to work.
- competent and patriotic leadership
(poor governance and ethnic hegemony is exacerbating the problem)


Ethnic federal systems have been created in an attempt to accommodate demands for ethnic autonomy and manage inter-ethnic tensions within a state. They have not always succeeded in this: problems inherent in the construction and maintenance of an ethnic federation have led to some states or sub-divisions of a state either breaking up, resorting to authoritarian repression, or resorting to ethnocracy, ethnic segregation, population transfer, internal displacement, ethnic cleansing, and/or even ethnicity-based attacks and pogroms.

Criticism
Ethnic federalism as an institutional choice to alleviate ethnic tensions within a country has often been criticized, both on conceptual and empirical grounds. At the theoretical level the difficulties include:



The problematic concept of "ethnicity" as an ordering principle. The consciousness of ethnic identity may develop or harden within a political system structured along ethnic lines and may be mobilized for political advantage.
Difficulties drawing the boundaries: complete single ethnicity is rarely found within any territory in multi-ethnic states. As a result, new minorities are likely to be created within the subunits, who may be or feel in danger of being victimized, and may destabilize the federal system with ongoing demands for their own subunits.
The functioning of the system once established: "redefining politics along ethnic lines tends to transform everything into an ethnic issue". In some conditions, the federal system may result in "ethnicizing group identities and giving rise to or exacerbating, instead of alleviating, ethnic conflict at the subnational level". The power-sharing arrangements at the center tend to lead to paralysis, while politicians or parties representing the different groups may seek to enhance their political position by refusing compromise. In most cases, however, ethnic divisions within a state are pre-existing and are not initiated by the establishment of an ethnic federation.
The tendency for secession. Instability and the pressure for secession are likely to increase once the groups within a country are provided with resources, legitimacy, and an independent power base. The federal structures may enable the regional groups to build up economic, political, and even military strength, leading to the ultimate collapse of these states under ethnic tension. People will increasingly identify with the regional subunit rather than the federation as a whole, thus threatening the unity of the state.
In cases of severe hostility and conflict, ethnic federalism does not go far enough in separating rival groups, and partition may prove to be necessary.

There is no alternative but to dismantle ethnic federalism.
No spinning around and spicy words to make it look like that they are up-to something.

Democracy now! Democracy is based on individual freedom.
Medemer, group right, Geda policy etc are all conning games.

Ethiopians will not let the pressure off until their individual freedom and liberty is secured by a new constitution.

It is true "መደመር" is not a political theory. It is a mathematical or arithmetic operation. Arithmetically , the quantities to be added may alike each other or differ politically charged. That means, these could be either be opposite vector forces pulling a part or a like move together. This rather has a crude cultural tone hijacked from the Ethiopian deep-rooted tolerance/ አብሮ መኖር/ or alternatively what naively “ክረምት እስኪ ጠባ እባብ እና ዐይጥ አብረው ይኖራሉ።”. This cultural asset is applicable to everyday life and the less politically sophisticated or politics proof society. The question should be rather is Abiy Ahmed using it innocently or applying this for a different ulterior motive? Does Abiy Ahmed personality has altruistic value and openness deep inside him? Is this his true personality or has different unknow self? What other works of him talk about his true self? How about his book entitled as “ እርካብ እና መንበር”? The other test has he been asking whether he is walking what he had been talking? Is there any account of proof he has done one? So far, I think, there is nothing he has done to prove he is truly doing what Ethiopia and Ethiopians are expecting of him. Instead, he has been customizing his trick or messages according to the situation that fits to his own motive. Most of the evidence suggest the opposite: in stead of working for the greater Ethiopia, he is busy on ethicizing the country; he and his party are the replacement of TPLF in the mots crudest form. He thwarted a lot of very clear lofty opportunities that serves the interest of the people of Ethiopia. To me he is like a bribed soccer player who intentionally miss a penalty kick. I don’t know how much Ethiopians can afford, work their arse off /win the battle, and ultimately made to lose.

Tiago - thank you. Political theory, moral theory, political or moral philosophy - all of them deal with not 'ethnicity' but humanity, not the ethnic as a unit of analysis, but the person as the most fundamental foundation ኦፍ social and political thought. Abiy is wasting his time. If he wants to innovate on any political problematic, he must first go to the arena of human beings, human individuals, their liberty, their rights, their values and obligations. He will never get to the notion of a just society or good political governance while wallowing is the darkness of ethnicity.

3 situations that is strangling Ethiopia from going forward:1/ Many Ethiopians do not have patience and expect 100% result without input. 2/ Aby is being strangled from both internal and foreign pressure. This is evident is expected due to the nature of global situation. Don't forget, Ethiopia has always participated in wars without her own choosing such as wwl and wwll. Today it is the same thing. That is why many Ethiopians seem not to grasb. It is not Aby's war but global's. This directly affects domestic issue such as the agents working for outside. Many are ignorant about this and think about their village or short term gain.
3/ Aby could have surrounded himself as soon as he took office with pragmatic, true Ethiopians as supposed to ethnic fanatics. We don't know really the amount of pressure, he should also give opportunity in opening the door to those who can take Ethiopia to the right direction.

However, there are many vultures, l would probably do the same thing, rather than shaking things up as the country fragile, it is better to bring Chang gradually, while prioritizing the most important things. Too many variables and hard to resolve that is why it requires the participation of the capable people with absolutely NO ethnic, region and religious affiliates. It is those people who are pulling the country backwards.
