Nostalgia Will Not Bring Peace to Ethiopia

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 26 August 2020 a commentary titled "Nostalgic Ethiopianists Threaten National Unity" by Mohamed Olad, former adviser to Somali Region acting president.  

The author argues that any genuine attempt at national dialogue and reconciliation starts with the immediate release of all political prisoners.  Abandoning the Oromo, neglecting Somalis, feuding with Sidama, clashing with the Wolayta, and suffocating Tigray is not the way Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed will achieve peace and unity.
