Disintegration (2010)
“Her hope was “to illuminate the massive economic, political, and social chaos the Ethiopian dictator Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is inflicting on the innocent Ethiopian people.” Bemnet wrote that she feared Meles Zenawi was leading the nation “into complete anarchy and an inevitable genocide.” The letter went on to describe the situation in Ethiopia in specific and exhaustive detail, highlighting opponents of the regime who had been jailed or killed and building a strong case against Meles Zena...wi’s rule. In the name of human rights and regional stability, Bemnet argued for action by the U.S. president. Her manifesto read as if it had been written by an exiled Ethiopian scholar or opposition leader, or perhaps a think tank’s resident expert on the region. Coming from a high-school student, it was remarkable—even from a girl who has an unblemished record of straight A’s, hopes to go to Harvard, and intends to become a pediatric neurosurgeon.
