By Girma BerhanuThe Making Of A ‘Beggar Nation’: The Case Of Ethiopia – OpEd
But once I opened it I felt the article is a true observation and keen analysis of the real condition of our people, to the main part. I thought it deserved my time to read and inform myself and continued reading the article with interest. At least until I came across the troubled expression of using "Amhara Genocide", which is a technical-legal term that I can't perhaps appreciate fully to the whole extent on my own. So, I have a reservation on using such a highly divisive expression, if we adhere to the principle of truth and maintaining objectivity in our narratives.
The objectivity of the author suddenly slided away in my view of the article I was reading after coming across the expression.
But in my honest and objective understanding of the expression there is no intention of wiping out the Amhara people on the policy level from the face of the earth and there is no Tigre Genocide, there is no Oromo Genocide, there is no Gambella Genocide, Sidama, Wolayita and others.
What I can't dispute is the fact that the Amhara people has faced a horrifying plight in their own homeland, which is Ethiopia. We all need to stand up and demand to stop the plights of every citizen of the nation in the hands of the delusioned and disoriented moronic outlaws/outcasts of the society itself.
Today it is the Amhara people, yesterday it was perhaps the Oromo people, tomorrow it could be somebody else, the vicious cycle of violence should be stopped by all means. If we want to stop the violence, then there is no need to blame others for the crime of somebody else and make it more complicated the effort of seeking the solutions.
Ethiopians have become ungrateful takers
