It has been a week since Mek’ele was repatriated by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces yet the city, and 500,000 residents with it, is still reportedly without access to the internet. To give a speech is one thing, but deeds have to follow. Mr. Ahmed can’t speak of giving grace to TPLF forces while concurrently keeping a whole region plunged in darkness. I’m not sure there was ever justification for cutting off the internet to Tigray to begin with; now that the conflict has come drawn to a close, Mr. Ahmed will lose all credibility if internet is not restored to Tigray promptly and urgent steps are taken to provide assistance to those who need it.
It was just a week ago that I wrote an open letter to PM Ahmed expressing my support for the campaign he was forced to undertake and wishing him success as long as his aims were altruistic. However, in that same article, I noted that I would not hesitate to speak out if I feel as though his actions were against the best interests of everyday Ethiopians. I did not fathom at the time that the benefit of the doubt would last less than a month let alone a week. However, the steps that Mr. Ahmed are taking is alarming to say the least. Best case scenario is that Mr. Ahmed removed a cancer and is now trying to heal the patient; worst case scenario is that he removed a threat in order to consolidate power on his way to becoming Meles 2.0. While I pray for the former, I fear the latter. I will not seal my lips for the sake of expediency and watch as Ethiopia replaces 27 years of TPLF terror with a new era of OLF hegemony. [continued]

Re: Replacing TPLF Terror with OLF Hegemony??
My english is very poor and no way that it can be compared with that of yours. But still I doubt if you understand well the meaning of hegemony, if you may happen to understand it, then you proved yourself as someone very much deshonest to yourself and the rest of your readers in the formulating of your short title of this post.teodroseIII wrote: ↑06 Dec 2020, 03:20It has been a week since Mek’ele was repatriated by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces yet the city, and 500,000 residents with it, is still reportedly without access to the internet.

you always pretend to be harmless by hiding your venom, ethnocentric view, don't do that. There are many kinds of hegemony some are direct the other ones are indirect. for example look at the cultural hegemony the Oromo trying to impose on others especially regarding language, flag, clothing, holidays extra and we have to fight it. It is the precondition for total dominance and ethnic based hegemony.
Cultural hegemony
Cultural hegemony refers to domination or rule maintained through ideological or cultural means. It is usually achieved through social institutions, which allow those in power to strongly influence the values, norms, ideas, expectations, worldview, and behavior of the rest of society. Here is the one that is happening now in Ethiopia by Shimeles Abdisa,Adanech abebe, Lema megersa , Merrara real merrara( bitter) and many other in conjunction to economic hegemony.
Cultural hegemony functions by framing the worldview of the ruling class, and the social and economic structures that embody it, as just, legitimate, and designed for the benefit of all, even though these structures may only benefit the ruling class. This kind of power is distinct from rule by force, as in a military dictatorship, because it allows the ruling class to exercise authority using the "peaceful" means of ideology and culture.
