The TPLF veteran Mulugeta Berhe, in an interview with De Waal, said that
part of the reason that the current crisis in Ethiopia is so difficult
to understand for outside analysts is our “lack of thought on the role
of theory in African rebellions

Berhe emphasizes the role of ideology in the organizing of the Ethiopian
Civil War, and that the aim of the TPLF and its allies was not so much
to take over the state, but to fundamentally reimagine it as a
multi-national state in which sovereignty rests with the different
nationalities. Zeleke’s work shows how the student movement used social
science discourse to reimagine Ethiopia, and then how the forms of
social science ultimately limited what was imaginable.
