Gurage elites misplaced loyalty against the Gurage nation
Gurage elites, who happen to be the most educated, therefore influential in Gurage, believe they have to support the Ethiopian gov interest in the division of Gurage into Islam and Christianity, with fabricated hostility between them, at loggerheads with each other, engaged in the "natural primodial extinct to dominate one another", that the Ethiopian gov intervenes only to end the menace of Gurage Muslim majority against Gurage Christians minority. The agent of Ethiopia, the middleman, the go-between agent of division on behalf of Ethiopia is Amara whom Gurage elites are sought to see as harmless messengers.
