Ethiopia, with its present-day shape and borders, was createdby Emperor Menelik II who was born on August 17, 1844 in Ankober, North Shewa of the present Amhara State, and died in Addis Ababa (Finfinne) on December 12, 1913 and who was the emperor of Ethiopia from 1889 to 1913. As stated in the preamble of The Transitional Period Charter of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian regimes up to 1991 were the continuation of Menelik’s regime and followed similar policies that facilitated subjugation and domination of one culture (value)---the culture which Walelign Mekonnen described as the Amhara and, their junior partners, the Tigre culture.

The Oromo and other nations and nationalities in Ethiopia who felt their rights have been violated protested and revolted against these subjugations and dominations. For example, in 1991, at the end of Derg Government, there were seventeen armed organizations fighting the central government of Ethiopia (Bereket Simon, Tnsa’e ZeItiyophiya Kementa Menged, 2010 E.C, p.15).The majority of these armed organizations were, some of them still are, liberation fighters including Eritrea People’s Liberation Front (EPLF), Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Afar Liberation Front (ALF), Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), Islamic Front for the Liberation of Oromia (IFLO), Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), Western Somali Liberation Front (WSLF), Beneshangul People’s Liberation Movement (BPLM), Gambella People’s Liberation Movement (GPLM), and Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM).This makes “liberation” which usually necessitates revolution a long standing demand in Ethiopian politics.
