Generational Perspectives on Ethiopian Identity

In this episode, Hiwi sits down with Abdul Yousuph, a political science and international relations graduate from the University of Addis Ababa, to talk about how Ethiopian identity has changed across generations. Abdul shares what being Ethiopian meant for his generation and reflects on how recent conflicts and our history of internal colonization have shaped what it means for us, the youth, today. Join Hiwi and Abdul as they discuss the journey of where we come from, how we see ourselves now, and what the future might hold for Ethiopian identity.
