My all time favorite journalist, Dereje Haile! I truly wish other “journalists “ to follow your footsteps! I am satisfied, thank you!

በጣም እያመሰገንኩ ፈጣሪ ጤና ይስጥህ እኔ ኤርትራዊ ነኝ ግን በጣም ኣደንቅሃለሁ ችሎታህ ትደነቃለህ

I have no words except saying daraje Long life We make us learn a lot about Ethiopian political turmoil still never built up on strong constitutional principles All who comes to power keep changing the country to their own size of garment to keep power I wish we could have strong base of constitution Never care about individual who come to power As we can see in developed nations We always one step ahead & two backward In 20th century too

This is an excellent interview. Again thanks to Mr. Dereje Haile for bringing such an important, thoughtful and gracious individual, Gizaw Zewdu, to share his research and ideas about the historical events in Ethiopian students’ movement. I particularly found Mr. Gizaw’s critical analysis, relevant narrative and authentic discussion about the student movement in the 60’s a breath of fresh air. As an Eritrean, I was also particularly interested about his assessment with regards to Eritrea, since now there are so many revisionists, who want to expunge, mislead and outright deny the historical truth with regards to Eritrean peoples’ aspirations. In fact, the interviewer, to his credit, asked questions many journalists would not even broach and sometimes willfully neglect to pose: Why is the question of nationalism (and Eritrea's quest for self-determination) such a volatile issue.? Mr. Gizaw said forthrightly and accurately that there was a fear or a conundrum talking about this issue, (particularly about Eritrea). He said that it was like ‘ayKerbush Aynekush’. He further gave reason that it was due partly to the Imperial stance, and said ruefully ‘teTamemo Kertual’ even to this day. Well, so my question is: Why was it and still is such a taboo subject for Ethiopian intellectuals? I would have liked for Mr. Gizaw to apply his honest and robust analysis to delve further about this phenomenon. I happen to believe it is a great failing of Ethiopian intellectuals to not confront this issue, as it is affecting their country even now with other nationalities. Eritreans, with great sacrifice, have finally gained their independence and now Eritreans can live in peace with Ethiopia and other neighbors. Also, I personally don’t believe that it was only because Walellegn first broached the question of ‘nationalities’ that various national groups began to think about their situation. Walellegn should be commended for his clarity of thought, perhaps for his acceptance of what exists, and for his uncompromising revolutionary spirit. Conceivably, particularly as a native son, his declaration at the time may have carried such a great impression and disquiet. Also, the severe and sharp criticism he gets from Ethiopians, even today, is an indication that he was viewed as a ‘traitor to his ethnicity,’ and seemingly, an ill-conceived audacity to point out the truth of the matter (which Mr. Gizaw called touching the ‘Belit’-Interesting allusion!). Of course, Walellegn’s greatness is his bravery, integrity, and sincerity to address his countrymen about the issues that they have to grapple with. One could ask now: What would have happened if an Eritrean student openly addressed this issue at the time at the University? It would be good for Ethiopian politicians to probe into the experience of Eritreans living both in Ethiopia and Eritrea then. Particularly an Eritrean would not have seen the light of day, if he/she were suspected of even having positive sentiments towards their countrymen who were rebelling against the regime. It is mystifying why very thoughtful Ethiopian intellectuals do not broach this issue honestly. By the way, I smiled, when Mr. Gizaw talked about what Walellegn said about the Emperor. Many, if not all Eritreans, had the same disdain for the Emperor and his ruling class (incidentally, Eritreans never harbored dislike against ALL Amhara people, which they saw many as being oppressed like them, albeit differently) who have perpetrated untold misery on Eritreans. Well, as Mr. Gizaw very wisely said, many of those who were the bravest, most thoughtful and dedicated revolutionaries who fought for equality and freedom for all are missing in the history books. I agree, many heroes and incredible individuals in Eritrea (and Ethiopia) are anonymous now and have not left a trace in historical narratives of these societies, except for the contribution they made to the betterment of the society.

@Jeremi J Hi, I deeply appreciate your comment on my submission 6 months ago. And humbly thank you. However, I will share with you directly this: As I broach the dilemma and reflect on the present state of affairs in Eritrea (and also in neighboring Ethiopia and the larger African societies), it is quite a conundrum to even think about an appropriate 'platform' to present my thoughts. To my surprise, I have slipped into becoming a prodigious blogger, when I am presented with substantive discussions like this one. I have not yet considered writing publicly. I used to be an activist and now I do a lot of reading and reflecting pertaining these issues. I am also of late considering (particularly with the advent of CORONA sequestering and all) of writing, and maybe sharing my experiences and reflections; although in what genre remains to be seen. As I have been immersed in social media discussions about politics lately, this idea of writing has become a recent interest. However, might I ask, what venue of a 'bigger platform' were you considering?
