Abstract
The aim of the thesis is to appraise the protections of Amhara minority in Adama city, in terms
of the constitutional and practical bulwarks. Hence, the probe involved both theoretical analysis
and field studies.
The outcome of the probe revealed the infirmity of the protections—attributable to the
idiosyncratic problems of Amhara minority, which are the rhetoric of supra ethnicity and the
divisive narrative. On the basis of this finding, the thesis recommends the ―reengineering‖ of the
national political life—via constitutional revisions imbued by Humanist moral reasoning—for
the betterment of the situations of the minority, in Adama.
