- Since October 2019, Irreechaa, the Oromo festival recognized by #UNESCO as an integral part of the #Gada system, has become a vibrant annual celebration in Finfinne (Addis Abeba), bringing the capital alive with a spectacular display of culture, color, and collective joy.
Oromos from across the country converge on the capital, making it a major meeting place to celebrate their shared heritage before festivities continue at the sacred #Hora_Arsadi in #Bishoftu the following Sunday, 04 October.
Dressed in traditional attire and carrying fresh green grass and flowers, hundreds of thousands gather in song, dance, and chants, filling the streets with the rhythms, ululations, and unmistakable energy of a celebration rooted in gratitude, renewal, identity, and togetherness.

- On this episode of The Standard Signal, Tsedale Lemma brought in Yordanos Bezabih, affectionately known as Jordi, a fierce advocate for gender equality and intersectional Afro-feminism, to discuss #ትሰማ and the growing campaign against gender-based violence in Ethiopia.
The conversation goes beyond individual cases to examine the deeper structures behind violence against women and girls: institutional failure, selective justice, patriarchy, economic and political power, cultural norms, and the politics of accountability.
Jordi explains why she believes gender-based violence cannot be separated from questions of power, and why a campaign demanding institutional change cannot be entirely apolitical.
The conversation also challenges the idea that gender equality is somehow foreign to Ethiopian culture, asking a fundamental question: Who gets to define culture, and what happens when protecting “culture” becomes a way of protecting unequal pow...

- For more than four years, Ethiopia has been engaged in a “National Dialogue” process that promised a path toward consensus.
The process culminated in 38 days of deliberations. But what happens when we look beyond the official narrative?
Who was missing from the room? Who chose the 4,000 delegates? And can a process that excluded some of the country’s most consequential political and armed actors produce a truly national consensus?
In “The Quest for Consensus: Analysis on Ethiopia’s National Dialogue,” a three-part Addis Standard special edition, two critical thinkers who witnessed and closely reflected on this long-running undertaking examine what the process actually meant, what it achieved, and what it left unresolved.

In this episode of The Standard Signal, Tsedale Lemma and Professor Ezekiel Gebissa unpack the Prime Minister’s carefully choreographed interviews, the revival of the “Oromara” narrative, the delegitimization of Oromo struggle, claims about Ethiopia’s historical relationship with the Red Sea, and the dangers of claiming historical memory to project contemporary territorial politics.
The conversation also examines Ethiopia’s national dialogue and why Prof. Ezekiel called it a “constitutional vandalism”; debates about Addis Ababa/Finfinnee, and the escalating tensions between the federal government and Tigrayan authorities.
