Moghalu: National Policing Bill Undergoing Most Open Process in Legislative History A lot of the criticism of the State Police Bill so far has been about process, not content. That means the substance of the reforms has largely gone unchallenged. The concerns raised have been procedural. We acknowledge them...

#Ethiopian Foreign Minister: #Ethiopia’s State Formation Still Disputed, and is shaped by a Culture of Violence The following is what the current Ethiopian Foreign Minister said about the flawed nature of Ethiopia’s state formation and how it is still contested and shaped by a violent political culture. This is verbatim; I have not added any opinion. 'The process through which the Ethiopian state was formed is rather unique on the African continent. In most parts of the world, states are formed through conflict, violence, and bloodshed. That does not make Ethiopia unique. What makes Ethiopia unique—particularly in the African context—is that the violence was carried out by indigenous, native forces. The main protagonists in this process were Ethiopians themselves. By contrast, in the history of most African countries, state formation was the outcome of colonial conquest, with significant involvement of European actors. So, we have a state formation process driven by local political forces, but we did not have the opportunity to strengthen or cement that process through a social contract, nor did we have the chance to heal the wounds and contradictions that emerged during state formation. As a result, the legitimacy of the state was questioned and contested by some. This contestation has persisted throughout the formation of the state and has been exacerbated by subsequent events. Some have challenged the very legitimacy of the Ethiopian state; others have contested its nature, its vision, its identity, and its narratives. Some have found it difficult to accept its institutions and their configurations. Thus, there have always been fundamental contradictions stemming from Ethiopia’s state formation process, and we have not adequately addressed them in a way that would create consensus among key actors. Another layer we need to consider is that we have a very violent and autocratic political culture. Whenever there are contests for power, political differences, or disagreements over policy or institutional arrangements, the method of resolving them has more often than not been conflict. Imposing one’s will and vision on others through violence and force has been how we have conducted politics for generations. And once in power, using autocratic means to consolidate authority has been common practice. This autocratic and forceful approach, combined with the flawed state formation process, has produced many wounds, grievances, and violations. We have not been able to address these in a way that is satisfactory to most Ethiopians. On top of this, attempts to resolve these problems have often been divisive, emphasizing differences at the expense of what unites us. As a result, our politics has become polarized and ethnic-based.

After Jessi Majome, Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, gave an appraisal of the Constitutional Amendment Bill 3, raising its benefits and shortcomings, she issued a scathing official report about human rights violations and unconstitutional conduct surrounding the constitutional amendment Bill (CAB3) consultation process. By so doing she delegitimized the process, and as a result, she was dismissed from her position as Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission and reassigned to Public Service. This was done to silence honest criticism regarding how the amendment consultation process was conducted through intimidation, violence, and propaganda against the opposition, forcing the unpopular Bill down people's throats. What's even more interesting is that on the same day the President fires/reassigned Majome, he also fired the head of CIO after he'd just been in office for one year. Rumors are the CIO boss was critical of CAB3 and was not willing to use his agents to persecute people who oppose the Bill, and the President and his advisors weren't happy about this, so they fired him an #CAB3
