SIGN PETITION Complaint against Dr. Ghelawdewos Araia’s interview on the Voice of America Tigriagna program 85 Signatures Goal: 10,000 Subject- Complaint against Dr. Ghelawdewos Araia’s interview on the Voice of America Tigriagna program We, Amharas (one of the largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia), are making this online petition against Adjunct Associate Professor Ghelawdewos Araia, who is working at Lehman College in African and African-American Studies. The Professor has given an interview on 24 March 2016 to the Voice of America Radio Program in Tigrigna language. During his interview, he cited a book originally written in The Portuguese language by Elizabel Filleul. The book is translated into English language and titled as ‘Tractatus tres historico-geographici (1634): A seventeenth century historical and geographical account of Tigray, Ethiopia (Aethiopistische Forschungen)’ In the interview, the Professor deceived the radio listners by deliberately twisting a true historical account recorded by the original writer. He said that the Tigray province of Ethiopia in the 17th C has been large enough to include the Wolkite Tegede area (an area which is forcefully annexed by the current ruling party from its original owner- the Amhara people). As it is clearly depicted in the first chapter of the above-cited book, the Tekeze River has bounded the Tigray Province, and the Province has never transcended beyond the Tekeze River to include the Wolkite Tegede territory. Despite the clear language that the writer has put the territorial limit of the Tigray Province, the Professor has shown a propensity towards the illicit territorial claims of the ethnic group that he belongs. And in fact, it is an apology for the people that has been committing grave human rights violations against the Wolkite Tsegede Amhara People for the last four decades. The Professor has inaccurately cited the book to favor his ethnic group and to vilify the legal claim of the Wolkite Te

It's irresponsible for a scholar to twist citations to ignite conflict among ethnic groups.

teaching false/unwritten history is a criminal activity in academic world. This professor should be sentenced for his plajarized and fake history teaching at media.

Give up intellectual prostitution!

Lying is part of their culture.

Bring this guy to justice for his deliberate wrong misquote.

The professor was destorted Ethiopia history. Stop lies!

An academician has been bias and helping his ethnic groups do more crimes against Amharas.
