Foreign Policy published on 8 July 2021 a commentary titled "Ethiopia's Problems Aren't Postcolonial" by Robert D. Kaplan, Foreign Policy Research Institute and well known author.
Kaplan argues that Ethiopia seems on the verge of falling apart, but it won't. It is more than a state, not less than one. It is not postcolonial. It will not follow the example of Yugoslavia or Russia. Ethiopia is simply too substantial to fall apart.
According to Kaplan, the question is, who will rule Ethiopia: the Tigrayans of the north, the historically dominant Amharas, or the demographically powerful Oromos?
