Everything you know about the Amhara people is probably wrong. So buckle up, cause i Ato. present Is going to take you on a thrilling ride!The “Amhara” are an incredibly mysterious people with multiple layers of complex historical identities. Chances are, you know the 1991 version version of Amhara but not the historical one. To Start off, take a look at these three maps. 1935 Haile Selassie, 1981 Derg and 1992 EPRDF.

Historical


EPRDF (Yugoslavia)


You quickly notice that there are NO regions called Amhara...nor Oromo, Afar, Somali...except those CREATED in 1991. The reason, believe it or not, is that almost each and every one of the provinces in today's “Amhara” were NOT Unified as Amhara but actually separate Kingdom.Please study this map made in 1771 and see all the Kingdoms that make up Abyssinia. So what about Amhara? Amhara (Bete amhara/house of Amhara) was a small district you can actually find on this map, North of Ambassel.





In fact the first Portuguese mission in the 16th century to establish an embassy actually wrote down the names of all the Kingdoms in Abyssinia. This is what they said about Amhara and how many provinces it had





So is Ethiopia an Evil AMHARA Empire? Well, if your history teachers were guerrilla fighters who lived in the jungle, reading communist manifestos, you might think so...But if you read any number of history books you would know there was no “AMHARA” Ethno-Nationalist empire Like TPLF.In fact study this, how the Kings of Ethiopia presented their titles,1. ALL of present day Ethiopia is named, 2. Amhara is ONE of the MANY Kingdoms of Abyssinia. 3. UNIQUE structure of the Ethiopian Empire, a Kingdom founded by the Sabaens there is no dominant Ethnic Group.
