መሬት የማን ነው

Meret Yeman New is a seminal socio-political essay written during the peak of Ethiopia's revolutionary political shift. Focusing on the highly controversial and central national question of land tenure, Abe Gubegna fiercely critiques the injustices of the traditional feudal system and the exploitation of tenant peasants by rich landlords. He passionately argues in favour of agrarian reform under the historical rallying cry of "Land to the Tiller" (መሬት ለአራሹ). Using dialogue, historical analogies like the fall of Rome, and poetry, the book analyzes regional disparities in land rights and outlines a vision for an egalitarian society, making it a critical text in contemporary Ethiopian political literature.
