Does Ethnic Federalism Exacerbating or Reducing Conflicts? The Ethiopian Federal Experiences
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
The language based federal arrangement is a new frontier under the Ethiopia political scenario. Unlike the previous regime which overlooked various ethnic groups of the nation, the current political system recognized the presence of multiplicity of ethnic identity and taken it as a main political value for the reengineering of the present Ethiopia. Initially, it seems the solution that responds old nationality question of the country through recognizing each ethnic group as an equal partner of the federal arrangement with the power to administer its internal affairs autonomously. Hence, it brought a modest peace and stability so that the economy of the state arguably, registered a double digit growth for the last two decades. As time goes, for the past two decades, however, unmanageable problem has being emerged throughout the country. A continuous claim for recognition of new identity, high potential for secessionist demand, problem of demarcation of internal territory between ethno-nationalist region, and the issue of irredentism, and indigenous-settler dichotomy brought pervasive and protracted conflict between different ethnic groups which become the cause for the casualty of human life and destruction of resources. This article therefore try to assess whether ethnic based federalism is feasible or not in Ethiopia, to investigate the root cause of ethnic based and boundary related conflicts that are observing now in different parties of the state.
