It is mind boggling why Ethiopia is having ethnic based liberation groups and armed resistances. This happens only in Ethiopia. There has been no ethnic based liberation movements in Africa and Asia. We had armed ethnic groups in Yugoslavia, which is now divided into countries lieke Croatia, Serbia etc
We should see the 80 ethnic gropus as a social challenge. some of them run stillnaked and yet Ethiopians tolerate it and the goverment does not take active measures to improve their situation by providing them schools, clinic or farm machinery etc
Ethiopia's elites, specially the Amhara too dominating and want Ethiopia to be only for Amhara. This is impossible. there should be a fiar and moderate distribution of resources to all regions of the country. People should be able to speak and sing in their mother tongue if they want to.
We should learn from India and try to address the problems of ethnic groups. Each ethnic groups has their history. forcing them to marry or live together is out of the question as this will lead to conflicts. We need to give them equal rights but celebrate also their differences.
