Ethiopia Insight published on 16 May 2022 a commentary titled "To Achieve Sustainable Peace in Ethiopia, Ethnic Federalism Must Be Replaced" by Kassahun Melesse, Oregon State University.
Resolving conflicting land claims in western Tigray between Amhara and Tigrayans is essential to a sustainable peace in Ethiopia. The author argues that this and other ethnic land disputes can only be resolved if Ethiopia moves away from ethnic federalism and creates a federal system where minority rights are protected and citizens enjoy the same rights in all regional states where they reside.
