Self-Determination
Per the Article 39 section 3 of the Ethiopian constitution “Every Nation, Nationality and People in Ethiopia has the right to a full measure of self- government which includes the right to establish institutions of government in the territory that it inhabits and to equitable representation in state and Federal governments.” Self determination is a fundamental right of every nation, nationality, and people of Ethiopia and as such, Tigray, one of the 10 regional states, has a constitutional right to self determination.
