Ethnic Federalism should be disbanded as it is imposed on us for other purposes - history was not considered!

The current Ethnic Federalism should be abolished and a new federal system created. The historical developments in Ethiopia should be taken into consideration. Some Amhara lands were taken by Galla (Oromo) invading pastoralists. We cannot be on the side of Galla (Oromo) invading pastoralist that have burnt shurches and destroyed villages.

The current Ethnic Federalism is not a solution as it focuses on justifying the actions of the Galla (Oromo) tribes. The Ethnic Federalism seen in Ethiopia has nothing to do with other federal systems like USA or Germany. TPLF destroyed the unitary by proxy - to weaken Ethiopia for the interests of Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea.

We need to promote equality of all ethnic groups by allowing them to use their languages and music. But no ethnic groups should have their own government that stands in oppsition to the central government. Equality is not the devolvement of pwoer but the exercise of rights accepted by the central government. It is the central which should be responsible for the practice of the constitution not the ethnic groups.

WE need a ne federal government. There should not be any ethnic political organisation. We are all Ethiopians and should be ruled by Ethiopian government which we elect through the parliament.
