The demented requirement of pure Amhara blood by AndAmhara.

The demented requirement of pure Amhara blood by AndAmhara is reminiscent of the Third Reich of Nazi Germany. Never before have I encountered a party or movement that mandates racial purity for prospective members, except for the abhorrent regime of Nazi Germany. Yet, our AndAmhara movement has adopted this despicable requirement. Anyone with mixed national heritage is deemed a weak link and not only suspected but likely considered an enemy of Amhara, to be avoided or even attacked.
In the past, we heard Tsgagy ararsa and others attacking settlers of mixed nationalities in a similar manner. Just as the radical ararsa members vilified the so-called settlers, the Elias of AndAmhara vilify those with mixed heritage. They point to groups like the despised G7 as examples of why all mixed nationalities in Ethiopia should be condemned.
Fortunately, the Fano leaders on the ground are led by seasoned politicians who are determined to secure equality and justice not only for Amharas but for all Ethiopians. While Fano leaders must address the existential threat posed by anti-Amhara tribalists and ensure the freedom of all Ethiopians in every part of the country, they must steer clear of groups that seek to create a dichotomy between Ethiopians.
Ethiopians of mixed heritage should have the right to identify themselves as they see fit, without being subjected to a purity test. Even the most reviled factions such as the Weyanes and OLFtis did not impose such tests during their rule. Introducing blood tests as a panacea to resolve the 25-year nightmare of Ethiopian ethnic politics is a dreadful idea that must be stopped in its tracks.
