Yes, this man and many others like him are your friends and they fight for their freedom. However, unlike the early 1940s, this time they are fighting their own dictators who want to rule them by force.

So, this section is compiled to give you a brief background history on Ethiopia's recent past political, social and cultural developments. Most of these essays are prepared to help us understand what lead to the current situation, find solutions, and advice on how to avoid them in the future.

As Emperor Haile Selassie correctly articulated “[t]hroughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” So, with you our friends, we pledge to fight evil and work towards a peaceful and harmonious future in Ethiopia, Africa, and the World.

In the mean time, we would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on issues that matter to us all. Join us in our discussion forum or email us.
