Let’s have a dream where all Ethiopian will not be judged by their Ethnic membership.
Ethnic politics was institutionalized 27 years ago in Ethiopia. There was a misperception that ethnic politics can solve most of the Ethiopia’s problems. Regrettably, ethnic politics did not solve our problem, instead it fostered division, hearted, conflicts and ethnic cleansing. Ethnic politics and division is now become the biggest threat to all Ethiopians and their survival as a nation.
We undersigned believe that we are on the verge of
Ethnic conflict and inter-communal violence that may escalate in to a civil war.
Every citizen living out of his or her ethnic enclaves have no equal rights, their human and property rights are often violated.
Minority ethnic groups members have been institutionally excluded from participation in the Ethiopian politics.
We undersigned believe that the root causes of all these problems are Ethiopians are being judged by their ethnic origin and not by the character but by the membership as Martin Luther King said 55 years ago.
Martin Luther King said, I had a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. After 55 years we have created a system where people are judged and persecuted for perceived membership in one or another ethnic groups.
Hence, we are signing this petition to call upon all legislators, the Prime Minster of Ethiopia and political parties to change the law and restrict the formation and registration ethnic based political parties that are excluding others Ethiopians based on their perceived ethnic origin.
