Unfortunately the Sodo Oromuma jihadist on hallucinogen, still does not understand the essense of Medemher from Bashasha. I invite him to clear his confusions:
Meaning: Literally "synergy" or "coming together" in Amharic (actually the English translation is wrong because in Medemer, there is no miscibility or no melting together. The parts added to the medemer machine are not grounded to one flour. If you added peas, beans, wheat and barley, they come out as peas, beans, wheat and barley. Which means they have not mixed into one country or unity because they remain the way they are. That is what Abiy is doing. He is not going away from Ethnic politics. He keeps the status quo (the reason why some TPLF thugs support him) but wants to keep unity among them which has failed for miserable > 30 years:lol: )
Abiy Ahmed's intent: A philosophy promoting unity, cooperation, reconciliation, and national integration.
Supporters (incl. some diplomats) see it as a nation-building project aiming to transcend ethnic divisions.
Critics argue it's vague, inconsistently applied, or contradictory — promoting unity while preserving ethnic federalism.
Ethiopia remains structured under ethnic federalism (regions defined by ethnicity).
Medemer does not dismantle this system — instead, it overlays a unity message without fundamentally changing ethnic governance.
Result: Ethnic competition for power persists, violently, as groups vie for control within the current structure.
While Medemer promotes unity, the institutional framework still reinforces ethnic identity and division.
This duality fuels mistrust, political fragmentation, and conflict, potentially undermining national cohesion.
