Gashe Zegeye is like my father. He is my father's best friend from law school. He is ahead of his time in any generation. Love this man. He took us to school every morning when my father was in Politica School and my mother was abroad. One of the original thinkers.
An amousing history in describing how Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is created !!!! All Ethiopian particularly the young generation must listen this program ✅! Ato Zegeye how a matured scholar protect not to reveal the truth to avoid hostility 🙏 An amusing interview in our generation ! Thank you so much Beti to do this extraordinary interview 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Betty you’re amazing where did you get obbo Zegeye after 19 yers see hime Great mined & personality for the last time I talked him in Macha Tullema office whenever we were in critical points with the past WEYANE’s regime. welcome obbo zegeye.
Very interesting points - I am very grateful for your previous efforts (1960s and 1970s) in tackling these very hard and draconian system, and your insightful analysis!
BETTY, THIS INTERVIEW IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST WORK THAT YOU EVERY ACCOMPLISHED AND IT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF YOUR HIGHEST POINT. NO DOUBT IT IS SOMETJING THAT WILL BE REFEREED FOR THE NEXT FEW CENTURES AS A SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE SPOKEN WITH AUTORITY AND PRESERVED WITH OUT DESTORTION TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THE SPEAKER IS A REAL OLD MAN, A LIVING ARCHIVE AND WAS A MINISTER OF LAND DURING DERGRE REGIMES. HE IS VERY DEGNIDIED AND VERY SENSETIVE EVEN AS HE COMMUNICATE SOME OF THE DISGRACEFUL HAPPENING TO THE SOUTHER ETHIOPIAN FARMERS WITH A CARE IN ORDER TO KEEP BALANCE AND NOT SPOIL FURTHER THE TOXIC ENVIRONMENT AROUND EXPANSTION AND OCCOPATION OF SOUTHERN ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE AND UNR3SOLVED LAND ISSUES THAT WAS CREATED BY THE ATSES REGIMES.
I am happy I have not missed this interview. Excellent lead questions to educate the people. Thank you for bringing knowledgeable about the past keep it up!
Gratitude to Obbo Zegeye Asfaw. A father of the life-line (land) of the Ethiopian farmers and rural communities. Telling a deep and rich story of the Ethiopian land tenure, socio- economic, and political economy system.
Mr Zegeye has to mention the sacrifices Nefetenga children paid by giving their irreplaceable life. I know most of the university activist that died for the land to the tiller starting from Tilahun Gezaw are son of the nefetenga. This credit should have had a great part in this interviews. They not only acknowledge it but fight for it. With all due respect to Ato Zegeye
Great interview! Mr. Zeheye has knowledge and wisdom. Can you please give us a list of books and/or articles he has written in different languages. Also it's good if you can archive all his interviews.
Very interesting. Can Ato Zegeye explain where those displaced by Emperor Minilik came from in the first place. Can he walk us back to what happened before 100, 200, 300 years for completeness?
@@dabalebonsa1138 Oromos? Africans? loool worst haters of black skinned Ethiopians I am from South and I know. Worst invaders committing genocide after the Anglo Saxons, against darker skinned people criminals specially against each other. We do have your history too you know.
Come Back my brother when The Agenda Would Be 'Where did these ppl come from Originally?' we do not deny history and truth. What is in your mind might be true but let the truth shine.
Yes let hear what happened in walayta that is what they call the Ethiopian people are one love each other until tplf come yes we need to know what menelik did to walayta
Wow ,beautifully . this is awesome fanatic story for next generation thanks .this is a great informative and insight into this amazing staff to understand what had happened previously years ago.
Why do you ask that? Are you trying to tell us if it were done in neighboring countries or the world at large oh neftena we knowerrr you are heading that is why every damn neftena would be evicted and send back or they will be oromia
@@ebsamohamed5845 To know about this type of expansion in the world....like Italy Garibaldi and in German Bismarck.can we reverse that back to the beginning or follow current situation for solutions.
Don’t compare the strange Amhara to Bismarck or garibaldi they have already most of the advantages they had pretty soon we will be able to piss on their heads and they will be history Germany & Italy stop comparing apples& oranges
Betty asked the guest how was the land holding system before Minilik? He failed to answer the question, and talked out the eviction of Oromo farmers from Gulele. Thus, he evaded the question.
I did not know that Ato Zegeye was an architect of Meret larashu. What a deception this old man, a young man at that time, who was one of radicals and Mengistu regime servant and thrown him to prison until 1991. He plotted to betray him. The land tenure system was not in fact in the time of Menilek rather it was since the time of Aksum. It had 1975 years when Zegeye participated in abolishing of this incredible right to the land. HONESTLY, IT WAS AN AMAZING LAND SYSTEM EVER INVENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY. Land was the property right of every human being in large part of Ethiopia. It was concieved divine rights during the Zagwe and Solomonic times in Ethiopia. But the young communists understood non of it and they confiscated from the peasants and throw them into hands of the Derg regime serfdom. That ended the property right of the Ethiopian peasants until now. In fact, the RIST was not the burden to the peasant. It was the security of the peasant that assured inheritance to his generation. The burden was the GULT and its obligations. Zegeye and his team would have simply removed the GULT system and its obligations. In realty, the GULT was not a property right, it was the right to extract the produces of the peasant for the services to the king. Radical and hateful revolutionaries abolished both the RIST right and obligations that they handed over the right to thier short lived friend, Derg regime. Then I think Zegeye understood his mistake too late when his MESON camp was thrown to prison for the Derg regime he served. What a pity, look where we are now no one has the natural right of the land except the state. Ethiopian revolutionaries were politically blind of their time rather than progressisit. They were hateful and ignorante of Ethiopian history. Look he put all resposibility on 150 years ago and Menilek II expansion. What about the Oromo expansion and settlement over 75% of Ethiopia for more than 200 years? He exaggerates as radical revolutionary gini is in his blood. He never did a research since his radical times. This system had almost two centuries before he abolished with his radical revolutionaries. However, he never repalced it with better land system rather he assisted state confiscation. I understand why the Ethiopian commission council will not be useful with the personality like Zegeye, whose hate is engrained in his heart even at his death bed. Because his interview is a day light evidence that how he missundeerstood Ethiopia. He never say a word how Ethiopians 21st c. are still brutaly killed for the land system again due to his misconception of land and property right. He talks again about the land of Addis Ababa. O!! God have mercy up on us and save us from the next time killers and thier radical fathers. Tell him please many are dying for the land. Your reform is misery for millions for the last 50years. Your reform is the worst deception as ecnomic change. We live droughts, famines even starvations after the reform. It has no equal in human history. As usual, the psudo-journalist, she has no slightest clue in her mind what he was saying.
please bety this guy has to wright Ethiopia history from minilik to derg regime to explain briefly the history of our country to solve our present history conflict
I think there is some thing missing on this interview. It would be nicer if the interview was done with historian to avoid one sided talk to avoid confused and imotion thought .
Betam awake sew nachew .....sele Ethiopia yaletezaba bezu information yalachew ende Mr. zegeye yaluten yesekenu mehure wede media mawetate yenanete ye journalists sera new....yemeyerebu mehure nege yemelu sewochen wede media kemametate yeleke

I found this interview as a great witness for the chauvinists crying on our own land to resettle their children by the name of Ethiopian. Thank you Betty
Who the Oromos? they are the only once Amharas assimilated in the name of Ethiopia. The Rest of us know our ancestors and their lands. Where is yours? where is the Oromos ancestral land?
