The Unity and Territorial Integrity of Ethiopia

Abstract

Under the title ‘The American Dilemma on the Horn’, Bereket Habte Selassie published in this Journal , Vol. 22, No. 2, June 1984, pp. 249–72, a lawyer's presentation of a client's case: that of the Eritrean separatists. Although my views do not necessarily represent those held by the régime in Addis Ababa, they do indicate why Ethiopians resolutely continue to defend the territorial integrity of their motherland with a degree of unity only admitted by a few writers.
