Rationale Behind Re-Opening the Haile Selassie I Military Academy: Undoing Past Blunders
By Seyoum S. Zegiorgis, PhD

This paper discusses the challenges facing the current government of Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed in re-structuring the existing Ethiopian Defense Forces to create a modern defense force worthy of providing high quality service in guarding the peace for the Ethiopian people and deterring hostile activities foreign or domestic. It draws upon experiences that span from the time of Haile Selassie I to the present. The paper advocates for the need for highly competent line officers who are knowledgeable, skilled, and qualified in the concepts, methods, and tools of modern warfare. The paper also strongly emphasizes the rebuilding of institutions like that of the Haile Selassie I Military Academy to guarantee the resource needs of the modern Ethiopian Defense Forces if it is to achieve its National Defense Objectives in this modern age of warfare and Cyber Warfare.
