Abay,
I think that is by enlarge a bygone thinking and mentality; I remember the Eritrea Joke where gurage was supposed to question the slogan "Eritrea is not for sale!" by the masses; their question was, how much?

; little did we know that was probably the right approach to take? Meles finally settled with no war no peace! Where did that take us? S*hoot! the road to nowhere!
Today, if anything, I consider them to be, a silent pathfinder of Ethiopia without much hoopla as the rest of us. In business, culture etc. If any one is at the top of the food chain in Ethiopia by hard work, they are in first place.
What Horus posted yesterday for instance, the music; instrument, voice was phenomenal, Josey in Z house is authentic Ethiopian and what is the other dude's name, Abraham? he is the best in the field.
What Horus posts and say, if he didn't tell us, we wouldn't know who the actors were. That is a complement for Gurage Ethiopians. They're Ethiopian first!
In this day and age, where extremists claim everything in sight, by foolishly not acting their size, Horus is giving this forum a great service by fighting them tooth and nail.
Thanks Horus!
