Breaking, I couldn't believe what I have just heard somewhere on the internet

Ethnic nationalism is supposed to bite on the "others" and make them submit to one's own agenda, but it turns around and devours practically one's own ethnic itself.

Ethiopia is a test case, like it or not!

What happened to Shabia's ethnic nationalism? And then move to the South and watch what is happening on the other side of the boarder between Ethiopia and Eritrea today. You can continue your journey towards the center and watch what has happened to Oromo's nationalism. Literally Oromo youth are the biggest losers of Oromo nationalism today in the country. And then turn around and watch what is happening in the Amhara region of today, more than 60% of the children can't visit schools (among others), adding one more ticking bomb to the already desparate situation in the region.

I think to have heard somewhere about a comment attributed to Prof. Merera Gudina of OFC about ethnic nationalism: "it is something similar to trying to hold on the tail of a running tiger" (or something very similar). He knows what it means, you can only be safe as far as you can manage to hold on, no matter for how long you may sustain.

ሁሉ ነገር የጊዜ ጉዳይ ነዉ። ቄሮን ያየ፣ ትምህርት ይቅሰም፣ ራስህን አትፎግር፣ በስራ ላይ ጠንክር! ብሎ ይመክራል፣ አንዱ ሽማግሌ ከአንዱ የአለም ጥግ።

Another dumb claim to accuse Shaebia of ethnic nationalism! It clearly shows that you have no inderstanding what ethnic nationalism is! Eritrea is composed of 9 ethnic groups and there was no time in our history of the past 60 years when ethnic politics was a factor! On the contrary, as far as 1985, when Eritreans were fighting to free themselves of the Ethiopian conlonialist occupation, Shaebya was urging Ethiopians not to fall prey to the ethnic fragmentation of their nation! It shows the maturity and far-sightedness of the EPLF leaders not to be swayed by short-term benefits. The ethnic fragmentation of Ethiopia might have benefitted the Eritrean struggle enormously and it might appear to be very odd to observers that the EPLF cared about the enemy not disintegrating! But EPLF leaders did not pursue it because Eritrea's struggle was to free Eritrea and not destroy Ethiopia!

You may read EPLF's principled stand in this article in PDF format The EPLF & Its Relations With Democratic Movements in Ethiopia (originally published in Adulis, the EPLF’s organ in May 1985 issue)

Ethnic nationalism created by weyane destroyed weyane

Ethnic nationalism will always weaken the central gov

The ethno region structure is only good for ethno nationalism

Instead of the kifle hager system that promoted stability

By the way canada and america have kifle hager provinces like Florida that are multi ethnic

Soon after Meles received orders from his Neo-colonial masters to establish an ethnic federalism system in Ethiopia in 1991, he decided to make a trip to Eritrea to see what President Isaias thinks about his orders.

Prez Issu, of course, expressed his disappointment at how fast the TPLF could enlist themselves as mercenaries that carry out Neo-colonial orders. He reminder Meles that it was ethnic federalism that destroyed both the former Yugoslavia and the former USSR, and urged him to reject the Neo-colonial orders and instead work to unite the Ethiopian people under one flag, one purpose and one nation.

Unfortunately, Prez Issu's advice fell on deaf agame ears.

Meles returned to Ethiopia and announced that ethnic federalism was the new law of the land, where Tigrayans hold a monopoly over all spheres of life in the country. Meles defined the new system as a "Minority rule democracy." :mrgreen:

Minority Rule Democracy was a system that the Neo-colonial powers wanted to experiment in Ethiopia before applying it all over the African continent. This is because minority regimes need the protection of external powers to lord over the majority, hence they become mercenaries. Ethiopia, in essence, became the Guinea Pig for this Neo-colonial project.

Egyptians think ethnic federalism is GOOD for Ethiopia, and who can blame them? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

This is a lie Shabia has been spouting since Shabia got betrayed by Tplf to eat the whole pie ( Ethiopia’s economy for themselves) The idiot Ethiopians and Amhara is being duped by Shabia till this day that it was Meles who created ethnic enclave in Ethiopia and not Isayas. Haha big lie. It was inception in Egypt with Isayas and Jebha leadership that implemented ethnic enclave in Ethiopia. The idiots slaves, the Southern Ethiopia, Eprp, etc are taking this evidence to their grave because their balls is being held by Shabia if they say anything against Shabia what happened in the 90s in the parliament. With exception who told the truth was Assefa Chabo who came out saying how Isayas leadership and Meles, second in command established ethnic enclave in Ethiopia so the plan was and still is on the grave of Ethiopia, it is to build greater Tigray. The minions South Ethiopia, Olf, Eprp, etc were being ridden by Shabia and Tplf to implement death of Ethiopia , today it is unbelievable Shabia is convincing Amhara Shabia and Tplf are their allies by giving them arms so pp government and Amhara mutually destroy each other and break Ethiopia for greater Tigray. They are advising Amhara to their own suicide. Who will benefit the most if Ethiopia disintegrates with ethnic enclave? No one but Eritrea and Tplf.

Shabia ordered the killing of Assefa Chabo after he exposed Isayas as the creator of ethnic fascism on Ethiopia. Shabia is part of with Egypt Illuminati and they have full support from globalists.

Abere,


you don't hate "Orommuma" like you pretend to. Your only dream is bringing back the "old good days", a typical reactionary. My advice, one more time, is to come into terms with the reality on the ground in due time. The time for the reactionaries in Ethiopia has gone, never to come back!

"Orommuma" is bringing too many "for the first time" changes to Ethiopia and no one is prepared to let it go for now!
