How Amharas used to think of themselves not long ago
After half a century of long period and after going through three revolutions that put ethno Ethiopian social relation upside down, do the Amhara elites of today willing to teach their people to live in unity and harmony based on equality with the rest of Ethiopians, or will they just keep talk democracy & unity in one hand and maintain the supremacist attitude of their last generation in another? Time will tell we shall see.
Re: How Amharas used to think of themselves not long ago
One might argue that this is one man's thought, an individual opinion. But the fact is it is not. This was the kind of mentality that was shared by the Majority of Amhara elites and people alike.
Commencing in the Menilik era and beyond, especially in and during the forty-four long years of the emperor Haile's reign the image of Ethiopia and Ethiopianism was constructed and let lived until Dergue's era as to Amhara/ Tigre are cutes first class and super citizens and the rest are primitive and low casts as the good ambassador loved to put it.
Well, seeing what this man said sixty years ago, one might argue again this was a very long time ago but people with such a mentality and thought are still well and alive, even trying to have a say and to shape Ethiopian politics of today by surrounding the incumbent PrimeMinister as it has clearly be seen.
The silence of Ethiopians due to the hate of Woyane politics of the last decades has been giving them some fertile ground to be influential in Ethiopian politics once again.
How far they can go, well time will tell and we shall see.

Re: How Amharas used to think of themselves not long ago
you are rumbling nonsense without saying anything. what do you want to say? are you saying amharas think like the guy in the old video? have you met any amhara in real life or you know amharas only from your dedebit agame indoctrination for low iq cadres?
woyane tried to build a system that is based on amhara hate that marked every amhara as the #1 enemy of the state and of course we have done what we could to destroy that kind stupid system. still you want to continue the woyane ethiopia at the expense of amhara by demonizing and what not. this kind of system is dead on arrival. any ethiopian system based on hate on amhara is predestined to fail.
you can try to build this kind of system as your slave master woyane tried but count on us that we will do everything to destroy such system. we will accept no system on the expense of amahra. ሞኝህን ፈልግ!
my suggestion is. try to come up with inclusive and fair system for all. stop demonizing whole ethnic group. change your language from woyane stupid dedebit language to democratic lanaguages like equality, freedom, fair share etc. count on me to support this kind of system but anything that starts with the word amhara or neftegna is destined to fail. አፍንጫህን ላስ!

You went to Meqele and bombed Woyane to ash and you had a picture inside Alula AbaNaga airport with the generals, and you conducted a successful meeting in once Woyane held assembly hall right?
That means to me woyane is gone a done deal affair, at least for now.
So take woyane out of the picture and talk about the substance of the issue of what all this thread is about, Amhara elites and their old attitude. Whenever Amhara elites and their school of thought becomes a subject of discussion, don’t get panic and try hiding under the skirt of poor Amhara Qoda Lebash Eregna.
The Amhara supremacist attitude we see in this video is the one that gave birth to OLF, Woyane, EPLF and many other ethno nationalists across the country. In other words, it is Amhara’s chauvinistic mentality that we see in this video is that introduced tribalism politics to Ethiopia that we all abhor.
There is no ground that makes OLF and Woyane’s tribal politics a curse and that makes its parent Amhara chauvinism a holly. Must be diagnosed and treated equally.
Re: How Amharas used to think of themselves not long ago
The one truth you (and your ilk ) conveniently avoid in all your condemnation of the " chauvinist Amharas " is the mighty contribution Amharas have made in the struggle for freedom and equality of all Ethiopians; never suspecting weyanes and OlFits would turn all the spears against them make to them a moving target . None of the weyane and Oromo tribalist would have struggled against their own as much as Amharas did(in the most vicious way unimaginable ) to dismantled the so called “Amhara” system of oppression . We have lived though 28 years of Weyanes , and we are witnessing , the uppity Weyanes’ of OLF kind aiming at the same – domination for the past two and half years. Given this truth Amharas were light years ahead in their social consciousness than their compatriot By pulling out a single individual's stupidity( which is many decads old) as a vindication of Amharas state of mind in 2020 is doing injustice to Amharas of today’s or the past generation Amharas who fought for justice and equality. However, the issue of “Amhara Chauvinist” hullabaloo is simply a cry of victim-hood where none exist. Celebrating Temket is a sign of Amhara Chauvinism , waving Ethiopian historical flag that brought a historical victory against colonialism is a sign of Chauvinism, but all weyane plastered so called flags of a thousand kind is an OK . Amharas should be able to live freely just like any other Ethiopians. They should respect other Ethiopians cultural and societal norms and they should demand that respect to be reciprocated by others . If anyone has a dream of keeping Amharas down by concocted victim-hood, that time came and gone. Let us all be brave and live fully in the now with mutual respect and understanding.

Re: How Amharas used to think of themselves not long ago
whether woyane is dead or no but you’re continuing the same „negtegna“ rethoric which is dead on arrival,
the main problem with these LFs is they are all anti amhara and we have seen enough in the last 30 years what their political aim is: make every amhara state enemy #1, massacre and displace innocent amhara farmers, women and children. that is all they are up to at least for us.
if they were struggling FOR equality, justice, democracy and fair share then i would be the first to join them. but they are not. they are not FOR but ANTI amhara people. they are all about inciting hate against innocent amharas using code words line negtegna which of course lead to massacre of civilians and destruction of property.
know that there will never be an ethiopia thst is based on the rethoric of blaming, demonizing, hating on amhara which you are exactly doing and which woyane tried and was destroyed for good,
unless those terrorist LFs who are responsible for innocent amhara lives change their language and stop hating and demonizing amhara count on me to do everything to destroy that kind of woyane like system. woyane like system can only function if amharas accept to be state #1 enemy and massacred everywhere and we say to hell with that terrorist system!
