Dear
editors,
I read
your article “Coming to Ethiopia Blindly” (Volume 8, Number
396, December 2, 2007). I concur with you that any visitor
should be equipped with as much information as possible
before visiting a country but disagree with your portrayal
of Ethiopia’s uniqueness on the continent.
I have
serious reservations, at least about the tone, if not the
letter, of your column, which claims, that Ethiopia is not
part of the “negro experience”. If the term is meant to mean
the experience of black people through the ages and around
the globe, and I believe it should, then we Ethiopians are
definitely part of it. |
