However, the varied ways those governments interpret and carry out their policies result in a variety of violations of the citizens' human, social, economic, and political rights. Based on this, it is better to take a different political action based on common consensus from deferent social groups. From other experience inclusive political path other than one based on ethnicity unless it will lead to severe aggression against human, social, economic, and political rights and the creation of statelessness as described by different events that occurred in different parts of Ethiopia.
