"However, provisions in the constitution that guaranteed personal freedoms and liberties, including freedom of assembly, movement, and speech, and the due process of law, were so far removed from the realities of Ethiopian life that no group or individual sought to act upon them publicly."
This assertion, like much of the rest of this piece, is not just point-of-view, but patently false. I have seen, in a Law Library, entire volumes of Ethiopian Law cases from the country's Supreme Court during this period, where all manner of groups and individuals sought to test these limits. This was all published in English, by the way. There was one case I recall that involved the Freedom of Religion clause and had something to do with a Hindu's right not to eat beef. I am afraid I am going to have to mark this as NPOV and recommend it be sent back for better research. Til Eulenspiegel ( talk) 21:48, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
