This chapter will pursue the metaphor of ‘who is the enemy’ within a national Ethiopian context of identity discourses. The aim is to shed light on the construction of Ethiopian national identities, and to see how these relate to the perceptions of identities as explored in the two previous chapters. It will be revealed that similar processes are also taking place within the field of national identity discourse; there is not one commonly subscribed to the understanding of one Ethiopian ‘enemy’ with which one homogenous understanding of national identity can be contrasted. Several competing, and sometimes contradictory, discourses of enemy images are produced and reproduced with contrasting notions of national identities. This is not, of course, a novel discovery. For instance, John Sorensen (1993) has also addressed these topics, concentrating on describing the ‘Greater Ethiopia’ nationalism and the competing discourses from the Eritrean and Oromo viewpoints (see also Sorensen 1992; 1998). Sorensen bases his analysis on the deconstruction of the Ethiopian polity and argues that it is a historical and political creation of the Amhara political elite.
