Скачать или смотреть The Standard Signal |Ep. 12 Constitutional Foundation and the Crisis of Western Tigray. Part II

Five years after the war in Tigray began, and three years after the Pretoria Agreement, the constitutional questions raised by Western Tigray remain unresolved.

In Part II of this conversation, host Tsedale Lemma continues her discussion with political analyst and War on Tigray author Daniel Berhane, examining whether Ethiopia is still governed by its Constitution — or whether force has replaced constitutional order in deciding territory.

The episode explores the legal foundations of Ethiopia’s federal system, the status of Western Tigray within that framework, and the long-term implications when territorial disputes are settled outside constitutional mechanisms. As hundreds of thousands of displaced people remain unable to return, the crisis is no longer only political — it is constitutional.
If territorial sovereignty is determined by force rather than law, what becomes of federalism?

If constitutional guarantees cannot be enforced, what remains of the constitutional state?
