Oromia PP has told us that they are working to control Benshangul and Addis Ababa through demographic engineering. Ultimately they also plan to incorporate Wello to Oromia.To succeed on their expansion and domination and to stay in power for long, they know very well that Amhara and Tigray have to be weak. PM Abiy has also never shown an interest to solve the problem between Tigray and Amhara and gave blind eye to the closure of the road between the two states for more than two years. In the meeting PM Abiy had with the people of Wello about a year ago, he tried to remind about what they claim Emperor Yohannes did at Boru Media more than hundred years ago. That was a clear indication to me that Abiy was trying to further enflame the tense relationship between Tigray and Amhara. His unholy relationship with dictator Isaias is also directed to weaken Tigray and bring further division between the Tigrayans in Ethiopia and Eritirea. All these divisive strategies being implemented by PP Oromia are aimed to make them the dominant political force in the Horn of Africa. However, the major threat for PP Oromia comes from internal rivals within Ormoia and I expect further civil unrest, arrest and killings within Oromia until PP Oromia becomes dominant. I am very glad for the wise decision TPLF made not to be the member of PP party.

Well well, as tplf used EPRDF to hoodwink others and rob the country, now Opdo is using PP to do the same thing.
Its highly likely that Abiy wants a sustained tension between tigray and Amhara region. The problem is tplf has too much blood in its hands and remained Staborn to repent and build trust. Tplf is still wagging proxy violence always targeting Amhara. We wonder why tplf is serving Opdo's interest including the one concerning Addis. It seems that other political termoil is unfolding

My view is that both TPLF and all Amhara parties are to be blamed for the tension. It looks to me that both PP Amhara and ABEN are being manuiplated by PP Oromia or Isaias Afeworki to issue provocative statement on TPLF on a constant basis and they are also part of the plot in the closure of the road between Amhara and Tigray.

In ideal situation:

The moment tplf has lost the federal power, they had to accept defeat. Then, repent for the crimes they committed, especially by targeting Amhara and Christianty. Send formal apology for those affected in the course of the past 27 yrs of tplf, literally to all Ethiopians. And then reconcile and build trust with neighboring society. Unfortunately, tplf's vision of Ethiopia was only for holding power and leading. Without that, Ethiopia is not in their plan. Look for instance the recent liyu police show case in Mekele. I havent seen a single flag of Ethiopia. It looked like its another country. How can Tplf build trust with the posture and attitude it has now? I agree on the fact that opdo is using the sticking issues such as the wolkyit, raya, etc. Tplf can't ever think beyong tplf mentality. And this has very well served Abiy to aggravate the rifts. Tplf should return wolkayit and raya before it reconciles with Amhara. This initiative should come between the two, because Abiy wants this is sure remains unresolved so that both tplf and Amhara region will lose focus on other matters that are more relevance to their respective community. In the mean time, the fanatics concepted by tplf and implemented by opdo will come and burn tplf itself.

The source of all this disgrace is TPLF. Historically TPLF served as a Trojan horse for all the historical losses that occurred over the last fifty years. TPLF burnt down ,Ethiopia, the house of all and trashed the patriots of many Tigres that sacrificed their lives Ethiopia. It is the TPLF that emboldened the attack and invasion of Aba geda - a historical enemy of the civilization of Ethiopia. TPLFs are not good analyst their calculation led both Tigre, Amhara, and other ethnic groups into bankruptcy.

Axumenzera, first PMAA is not the problem with you filthy tegarus and the Amhara. It is you the ungrateful agames creating the problems with all.
Secondly PMAA is not also the problem with the hatred between you filthy tegarus and the Eritreans as you said as if the Eritrean people don't want to see your tegarus tribe destruction for good.
Where the hell did you get it that PMAA even if he wants to mend relationship of Eritrea with you cowards, that Eritreans will ne ok?
Stop begging the Eritreans to forgive you as if the Eritreans want any thing to do with you.

TPLF has effectively mobilized the Tigray people and it can defend Tigray. If any one has any illusion and attack Tigray from any direction they will found for themselves that it is regrettable. I am for peace and I campaigning for the issues to be resolved through discussion. War creates a lose lose situation even though the outcome usually changes strategic political and historical order.

[Sam Ebalalehu]

If so let the Tigres and Amharas come together and kick the “ Oromos” out of power.
No matter how low rating one gives to the TPLF founders about their political know how, not many give them an F for spotting out opportunists, meaning in tribal politics context. Now, Ayatollah and his company failed to bring down the Abiy government. Oromia is not in mourning for their being locked up. Why not try to build tactical friendship with “ temketegnas.”
Well, I see they are making inroads.

[Axumezana]

If you need as strategic alliance you need to have shared vision and objectives. Tigray and Amhara need a long reconcilation and healing process and Time before talking about alliance. However avoiding war is possible!

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Axumezana, to be honest I do not see reconciliation in the making between “temketegnas” and those who hate them. To make a reconciliation, the TPLF politics has to be rewritten. The manifesto that reads the enemy of Tigreans are Amharas should be replaced with the enemy of Tigreans are economic stagnation, lack of education, and reluctance to practice something new, unfamiliar.
Unless the TPLF old guards admit, they lived an imagination of their own, which has nothing to do with reality, making peace with those they used as a means to promote their politics will not happen.
And one more important thing if that reconciliation is warranted to take the Oromos out, the reconciliation will die with its own self- contradiction.

[Axumezana]

TPLF has never said the enemy of Tigray are Amharas! It says "the enemy of Tigray are the Amhara ruling class".

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Axumzena, you are wrong. The TPLF manifesto as it was written reads the Amharas are the enemy. TPLF was not founded by people who read and well informed. They evolved through times, however.
The people who taught them the Amharas are not the same factory product a machine put out were the people who fled from EPRP. They gave some theoretical meat to the likes of Meles, not necessarily Sebhat. The Amhara ruling class in the TPLF dictionary was born. But who is the Amhara ruling class ? It did not exist. The EPRP walkouts were wrong. The Ethiopian economy was agrarian. If there had been an Amhara ruling class, it would have been those who own vast countryside lands.
Enter Mengistu Hailemariam. He made sure they did not exist.
Amazingly the TPLF manifesto was written , well, Axumazena, I am not questioning your ability to think for yourself by telling you the answer.
This brings us to the culture of TPLF. Ethiopia has had several political parties. Almost all of them were diehard in their political beliefs.
Our “ beloved” TPLF however was a different breed. It just sought opportunities that benefiiedv it. A principle to live by was not necessarily important to the TPLF old guards. As a result over the years TPLF made many friends who turned out to be enemies. The cycle keeps going on.
