Ethiopia’s Fate after One Generation Berhanu Nega Translated by Yonas Admasu I. Introduction Let us talk about a community of people to whom contemplating what its fate would be twenty-five years down the line is a luxury, if not an altogether alien, even inimical idea, a community that has left the mere possibility of making it to the next day entirely in the hands of God.
