What makes this moment particularly volatile is the religious dimension. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is not a minority faith; it is woven into the country’s historical identity, claiming over a third of the population. Allegations that the state is persecuting the Church—backed by documented cases like the 30 November clergy murders and the December Arsi massacre—strike at the heart of Ethiopia’s self-conception as a Christian civilisation. For diaspora activists, this is a potent weapon. For the government, it’s an accusation that’s harder to dismiss as Western propaganda when priests are being killed on their way home from church

Act II: The Hugger
Historian:
“Let us begin with the hugs. Abiy’s embrace of Prime Minister Modi in Addis, the hand-holding, the arm around the shoulder, the guided palace tours, it is profoundly Borat-esque. Not in crudeness, but in deliberate invasion of personal space. Borat hugs to unsettle, to expose. Abiy hugs to disarm, to project intimacy where protocol demands distance. It is theatre, and theatre, as we know, is politics.”

Satirist:
“Precisely. Baron Cohen’s characters, Borat, Brüno, operate by compressing social distance. They sniff, kiss, embrace, and force their subjects into positions of awkward complicity. The subject must either recoil, revealing prejudice, or reciprocate, revealing desperation. Abiy’s hugs function similarly. They collapse diplomatic formality. The photograph becomes the policy. The hug is the communiqué. It is absurd, yes, but absurdity is devastatingly effective in the age of images.”

Historian:
“Yet there is risk. In diplomacy, intimacy can be misread. What is intended as warmth may be perceived as subservience or worse, as brown-nosing. Protocol exists precisely to prevent such misinterpretation. Abiy weaponises protocol by shattering it: he drives Modi himself, hosts impromptu coffee ceremonies in the palace courtyard, clasps hands in front of cameras. It is charming, undoubtedly. But charm in diplomacy is also dangerous. It personalises what should remain institutional.”

Satirist:
“And yet, Baron Cohen would argue that breaking protocol is the point. Borat’s handshake that lingers too long, his kiss that lands too close to the lips, these are not accidents. They are designed to make the powerful forget themselves, to reveal their discomfort or their complicity. Abiy’s hugs may serve the same function: they make Modi, and the world, forget the script. In that moment of disarmed intimacy, Ethiopia is no longer a supplicant. It is a host, a friend, an equal.”

A nation trades its humanitarian soul for cryptocurrency’s fleeting promise

In the dim glow of kerosene lamps that still illuminate over half of Ethiopia’s homes, a troubling paradox unfolds with the relentless logic of a Greek tragedy. Whilst 57 million of our citizens lack basic electricity, more than half the population of this ancient nation, foreign-owned warehouses filled with humming computer servers consume enough power to light 15,000 households, all in pursuit of digital coins that exist nowhere and everywhere at once. The servers run twenty-four hours daily, their cooling fans whirring in climate-controlled facilities that would be the envy of any hospital or school in the provinces, mining cryptocurrencies whose value fluctuates wildly on exchanges in London, New York, and Singapore, enriching foreign investors whilst Ethiopian families cook over wood fires and children strain their eyes reading by candlelight.

This is the new face of Ethiopian development, a stark choice between immediate dollar earnings and the long-deferred dreams of our people. It is a choice that speaks volumes about where we stand as a nation, and perhaps more disturbingly, about what we have become willing to sacrifice in our desperate pursuit of hard currency. The transformation has been swift and brutal, a reorientation of national priorities so complete that it has left even seasoned observers of Ethiopian politics struggling to comprehend its full implications. What we are witnessing is nothing less than the commodification of our national resources in service of the most ephemeral and volatile of global financial instruments, a gamble that would make even the most reckless speculator pause for thought.

During my sojourn in Sweden, I was primarily engaged as a student and junior researcher, without the security of a permanent residence permit. Even at that time, it was evident to me that the EPRDF/TPLF regime governed through an oppressive political architecture designed to weaken national cohesion and systematically marginalize the Amhara population. Numerous forms of state-linked atrocities emerged in conjunction with the rise and consolidation of this political order. I found it difficult to comprehend how societal relations had deteriorated to the extent that groups within the country appeared poised to undermine or even destroy one another.

Throughout most of the EPRDF period, my engagement in advocacy was limited. My contributions were modest and often undertaken anonymously. It was only with the expansion of the internet and social media that I began to participate more actively in socio-political discourse, primarily through academically oriented forms of activism.
