A panel discussion: Is Ethiopia in need of more official working languages? Pt 3

Some argue that all of Ethiopia's languages need to be recognised as official working languages, some debate that the main ethnic languages such as; Oromiffa, Somali and Tigrigna should be recognised as official working languages, and others make a case that there is no need for more such language designations for Ethiopia. Currently Ethiopias official working language is Amharic. Dr Girma A. Demeke (the former Head of Language Studies Academy at Addis Ababa University), Geletaw Zeleke (Political Analist), and Tsegaye Regassa (the former Senior Lecturer at Addis Ababa University and a PhD Candidate at University of Melbourne Law School ) reflect upon their own views regarding Ethiopias official working language from a legal, political, human rights and cultural identity perspective.
