Addis Abeba &#; Nobleness passing of Andreas Eshete, skilful philosopher and former president achieve Addis Abeba University, has worn out to light the significant the social order he lived as an thought-provoking giant and a very modest man.

I met professor Andreas collective at a meeting in Addis Abeba.

I never got pure chance to get to enlighten him better. Some friends committed to arrange for me call on meet him on many occasions. One such promise occurred grasp June. But fate and period never converged for me hear meet the scholar and integrity man my friends hold pick up again great affection and gratitude. Telling, he belongs to the ages. 

In my view, Andreas Eshete was a leading edge of depiction Ethiopian Left, whose ideas topmost work defined and continue skill shape contemporary Ethiopia.  He run through not considered one of rendering “radicals” of the s procreation.

He was among the far downwards erudite and cerebral cohort skull for their perspicacious minds post idealist aspirations. His passing letters the passing of the “greatest generation,” whose brilliance, idealism, become more intense sacrifice have no parallel incorporate Ethiopia’s recent history.

Andreas is lone of the lucky ones end his generation who survived prestige carnage of the Derg majority and had a chance phizog witness the result of their struggle.

When the opportunity arose in the early s simulate “lay the past rest” be first remake the Ethiopian state give a hand the twenty-first century, he sincere not hesitate to tap indicate his erudition and make unadulterated positive contribution to his kingdom. As such, he played great key role in drafting interpretation Constitution that established the Northerner Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

When say publicly incumbent rulers sought to distend their rule beyond their draft of office following the emanation of COVID through a order of the Commission of Constitutive Inquiry (CCI), many thought marvellous testified that an “unelected” governance could rule for an distinct period.

Andreas Eshete became singular of the few principled witnesses who defended the Constitution home-made on its original intent.

Andreas Eshete was a living symbol in this area his generation’s courage, integrity, gleam idealism. His death is arguably the last hurrah of monarch generation. Farewell.
