Ethiopian nationalism (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያዊነት Ītyop'iyawīnet; lit. "Ethiopian-ism") asserts that Ethiopians are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of all Ethiopians indiscriminate of constituent ethnic groups. Ethiopian nationalism is a type of civic nationalism in that it is multi-ethnic and promotes diversity.[1] Ethiopian civic nationalism is in contrast to ethno-nationalist supremacy fueled by ethnic federalist policies.
