In this episode, Ethiopia Insight Election Project’s Juweria Ali asks Tsegaye Birhanu, a former political science lecturer at Assosa University, to reflect on issues raised in the EIEP’s ‘EIEP: Marginalization and persecution in Ethiopia’s Benishangul-Gumuz” and his understanding of political dynamics in the region.
Tsegaye did not author the EIEP Benishangul-Gumuz article but he has previously published on Ethiopia Insight. Tsegaye was born in Metekel Zone and worked in Benishangul-Gumuz for almost a decade.
