Philosopher Maimire Mennasemay identifies a core cause: the loss of epistemic autonomy-abandoning Ethiopia's indigenous intellectual traditions in favor of imported Western frameworks that obscure its emancipatory potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the ancient Qine hermeneutics of \u003cem\u003eSem ena Worq\u003c\/em\u003e (wax and gold), Mennasemay unearths \u003cem\u003eSurplus History\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eSewre Tarik\u003c\/em\u003e): the suppressed ideas, voices, and aspirations woven into Ethiopia's cultural memory.
