In Ethiopian politics, there is this group that styles itself as “Unity Force” claiming the mantle of national cohesion. In truth, however, almost every major political actor in the country accepts the unity of Ethiopia. What truly divides them is not the idea of unity itself, but the spirit that animates it, the thymotic drive Francis Fukuyama calls the “third part” of the human soul.

One camp seeks “isothymia”: a unity grounded in genuine equality, where every citizen and every constituent nation, nationality, and people is recognized on equal terms. The other pursues “megalothymia”: a unity based on its own supremacy, in which one group’s historical dominance is presented as the natural order that all others must accept.

The same fault line runs through the debate on federalism. Today, virtually everyone in Ethiopia declares themselves a federalist. Yet the federalism each side envisions is fundamentally different. Some are determined to impose a centralized, supremacy-preserving version that restores a hierarchical past the Ethiopian peoples have already rejected. Others are committed to preserving and deepening the existing federal framework precisely because it answers the long-standing popular demand for self-governance at multiple levels, equitable recognition, autonomy, and dignity for all.

The real difference, therefore, is not between “forces for unity” and “forces against unity.” It is between those who want unity on the basis of equality and those who want unity on the basis of their own supremacy; between those who seek to restore a rejected history and those who seek to fulfill the people’s legitimate quest for self-rule. That is the distinction that matters.

Thanks madam for speaking the truth

[K E R I @Keri_jud]

Trevor Noah praised #Ethiopia for building #GERD

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 Egypt is not in a position to dictate who should or should not participate

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 Aah, you have become conversant in Amharic. I advise you to study Ethiopia's military history, especially its engagement with foreign invaders

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 Historical rights; still in a colonial mindset
Military options; we completed GERD while you had been bluffing over 15 years

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@GTWTW_Now But you blessed that election while Oromo parties boycotted it

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 You don't communicate in English

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 Why are you still bluffing?
We are ready to defend our sovereignty

[Shiferaw Muleta @ShiferawMuleta]

@khaledmahmoued1 You are a colonial state
Do you deny that?
Learn from history
Our grandfathers defeated you at Gundet and Gura
We will defeat you at a battle of your choice
