Abstract
The study seeks to understand the nature of hate messages expressed through Ethiopia’s mainstream and social media platforms. It used qualitative content analysis, and data was collected from selected mainstream and online media platforms. The result describes the nature of hate messages used and how the nature of extreme hate messages among fellow citizens in general and against ethnic Tigrayans in particular in Ethiopia reinforced the ongoing ‘genocidal’ war.
