Ethiopian diplomat Berhane Kidanemariam resigns
March 10, 2021
My name is Berhane Kidanemariam. I have proudly served my country, Ethiopia, for decades at varying levels of public service. Prior to my current post, it was my great privilege to serve as Consul General of the Ethiopian Mission in Los Angeles. Currently, I am serving as the Deputy Chief of Mission to the United States at the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Throughout my career, I have always been honest with government and party officials about concerns I have had with the direction of the country. I have suffered consequences, including being excluded from certain political affiliations, because of my differing views. Despite these challenges, I have always tried to put what I believe is best for my country above my political interests. I have long desired for Ethiopia to make the necessary reforms to ensure peace and prosperity for all its citizens.

Ethiopia has a mythical image as an African country not colonised by a European power, except for a brief few years in the late 1930s when it was invaded by Italy. Like all myths, the Ethiopian version is partly valid but conceals much else.
Ethiopia had a feudal society in which the majority of the population was treated as serfs and subjected to indignities comparable to those characteristic of colonialism. The Ethiopian empire was led by Amhara or Tigray Christian monarchs who treated other cultural groups as savages. Among those subjugated were the Oromos, who constituted the largest cultural group. However, the old order was supplanted when Abiy Ahmed became the country’s first Oromo Prime Minister in 2018.

Time is ârunning outâ to resolve an impasse with imprisoned Ethiopian opposition leaders whoâve spent almost three weeks without food, according to a lawyer for one of the key figures behind the protest.
Media mogul Jawar Mohammedâs representative said the hunger strike was endangering the inmatesâ lives and urged the government to seek a quick resolution.
âWe are running out of time,â said lawyer Kedir Bulo. âAll concerned bodies are advised to think judiciously and take prompt action to resolve the cause of the hunger strike.â
