The 1966 revolution, which overthrew the monarchical and feudal system, has now passed its 50th anniversary.
The revolution of '66, said to be among the most transformative upheavals in the world, began with a significant student movement. However, even in the years prior, there had been popular uprisings and movements in Ethiopia, ranging from coup attempts to demands for systemic change.
Today, in our country, the struggle for human and democratic rights continues, ranging from peaceful protests to armed resistance.
That said, what legacy or inheritance has the students’ struggle left behind over the past fifty years?
While it’s necessary to examine this question, it cannot be said that the past 50 years of change have brought us the political system we desire without obstacles. Nevertheless, their contribution to the systemic transformations that have occurred and are still occurring in Ethiopia up to this day is immense.
To help us reflect on this change over the past 50 years, we have been presenting testimonies since last week from progressive Ethiopians who participated in the student movement and subsequent political groups, or closely observed the process. These accounts cover the years when the student movement expanded, addressing issues like land reform, ethnic oppression, the formation of various parties during the '66 revolution, and the armed struggle—along with their memories and regrets.
This week, on March 12, 2025, we have chosen to feature the perspectives of Dr. Amare Tegbaru, who played a significant role in the student movement both domestically and abroad, to share his thoughts briefly.
Dr. Amare Tegbaru’s conversation with Meaza Biru will air tomorrow at 9:00 AM on Sheger—tune in!
