| dc.description.abstract | There have been three waves of foreign influence in the ‘flesh’ and ‘soul’ of the
Ethiopian legal regime ranging from the reception of liberal laws from Western
modern legal systems to the socialist legality borrowed from the Marxist
regimes of the pre-1990s. While the first epoch turned to the West for emulation,
socialist legality went East. From the1990s onward, Ethiopia seems to have a
hybrid (guramaile) of the two. Once again, Ethiopia’s post-2018 legal regime is
rehearsing yet another chapter in its quest for the appropriate law. This comment
reflects these pursuits and challenges, and it indicates the need for insight from
an indigenous African wisdom of Sankofa. | en_US |
