Response to Professor Donald Levine’s article: “Tigrayawinet”

June 23rd, 2006 |

By Fikre Tolossa

Dear Professor Levine:

It seems you are inspiring me these days. Here is another article of mine in response to your latest writing, “Tigrayawinet.” You write:

“Whence the dramatic reversal of Tigrayan sentiment, from champions of historic Ethiopia to debunkers of its reality? The story begins following the Liberation from Italian rule in 1942.”

Well, Sir, the story goes back at least 700 years earlier than that. One has to delve deep into Ethiopian history than skim on the surface to fathom this intriguing reality. Here is an other article I had published on Ethiopian Review about ten years ago which attempts to tackle this question profoundly.

You might be wondering and saying “where is he bringing an article from each time I am writing something?” The answer is that I had felt strongly about the state of my country. So, I had to research on her and write as much as I could.

You might also ask yourself, “who is this Oromo writing such articles?” If this question runs in your mind, Sir, I am an Ethiopian first and foremost, and then an Oromo. In any case, enjoy the article, once again. Here it goes. Click here
