The U.S. Institute of Peace conducted a podcast of almost two hours on 13 February 2020 titled "
A Changing Ethiopia: Understanding Medemer." The panelists were Fitsum Arega Gebrekidan, Ethiopian ambassador to the U.S., Lencho Bati and Mamo Mihretu, both in the prime minister's office in Addis Ababa, and Etana Dinka, Oberlin College. USIP's Aly Verjee moderated the session.
The panelists covered a wide range of issues but focused on medemer, an Amharic concept which means coming together or national mobilization.
