Kala Kinkino Kia By KINKINO KIA Abstract After a long period of centralization attempt of the successive Ethiopian rulers proved failure, the new rulers of Ethiopia started to reverse it. The centralized state structure and political thinking that had survived for more than a century has been replaced by new kinds of political ‘ambitions’ and ‘aspirations’ based on regional autonomy and ethnic self-determination, followed by restructuring of the State on a different ideology, which is described as ethnic federalism. Ethnic federalism was introduced in Ethiopia in 1991 when the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) came to power and launched the idea of “self-determination for the nationalities”, up to and including secession, devolving political, administrative and economic power to ethnically defined regional states.   The 1995 constitution which formally declared the federal state of Ethiopia is among one of the few constitutions in the world which

During the begging of academic years many of the universities call their students at the same time, which causes transport chaos and related problems on the students. Habtamu Asmamaw, 23, is a fourth-year law student at Dilla University, located in Dilla in the Southern regional state. He is 900km from his home town of Merawi, in the West Gojjam Zone of the Amhara Regional State, 33 km from Bahir Dar – the regional capital. During the last summer, however, he nearly reached boiling point, almost deciding not to return to his hometown. This was due to severe transport problems and other related issues that he witnessed on his way from Merawi to Dilla. “Last year, on our way to Dilla, we stopped at Bahir Dar’s bus terminal in search of transport. At that time, there was an acute transport shortage and a lot of chaos around the bus station,” Habtamu recalls. “Because of this chaos, some bags were stolen.” On Tuesday, October 2, 2013, Habtamu was at the larger intercity bus ter
