Tesfaye Demmellash examined ethnocentrism and the Ethiopian experience in a Borkena essay

The piece sat in Borkena’s opinion stream as an analytical reading of identity politics and reform language rather than as a news wire about a single event.

Kept as politics-analysis archive, the Demmellash essay dates a mid-2019 diaspora debate about ethnocentrism and Ethiopian national identity.
