We are divided and dream walking but the guy is corrupting everything Ethiopians value.
Gurage is successfully divided. 7-bet to Hadya, North East Gurage to Oromia. Harare to Oromia, soon!
No joke
Mesqan and Kistane were promised perks to betray Gurage unity. Especially Kistane has a history of beteaying Gurage. To scavange from Oromos and Amaras. Signed accord with Oromos to call.itself Sodo. Changes its name depending on prizes.
Gurage, to my understanding will hold onto itself. Even worst times such as when Oromo attacked it in the early 1800s, it defended itself and its territories, except the Kebena herdmen itself driven by Oromo near Arsi, settled near Abeshge, while Gurage was busy fighting the Gallas.
Hadiya is no match for adverserial relationships but underground extremist group exists led by a Hadiya pastwr from the US .
They suppirt and supply them the 1 or 2% minorities such as Kebena in Welkite and Yem Omotic group in Hadiya numbering only 60, 000 atracking Qosye in Inor to attack Gurage. They hire jobless hooligans in Welkite and Yem to terrorize Gurage residents.
Correct on this. Historically Gurage fought with hadya as well as Oromo. Should the country descend further into chaos, Gurage is in precarious situation because of lack of unity and organization. Like the Amhara, Gurage got wasted in the Ethiopian Nationality agenda in the past
. I don't know if there is any one in Gurage now working in Survival mode. This system is effectively corrupting everybody and everything. That is the way it operates. Detentions, ransoms, imprisonment, and all sort of money laundering are allowed as far as obey the system.
Personally, I still believe, we all able Ethiopians should unite to hold this system accountable for all the distortions and unwarranted suffering/changes the country is facing before it is too late. Many, unsuspecting Ethiopians are being deluded.
No. No one is working for Gurage survival. You're right Gurage is more wasted than Amara.
Ethiopia is deeply ethnicized now; every group has long organized itself ethnically. Gurage stubbornly refused. I call it negligence. You got to adapt to changing situations when you can't stop it.
It has a reward for it from the federal gov. Those who get huge development funds are those who represent themselves ethnically organized to the federal government. They also get name recognition nationwide. They get their federal regions. If their lands is too small, they are given lands of neighboring ethnic groups.
Harari State, only 8% of the State are Harari out of some 180,000 Oromos, Amaras, Gurages and Argobas. But Harari language is the official language; most of its land comes from Argoba and Oromo.
Oromo because of OLF gobbled up other ethnic territories, perhaps most affected is Gurage: Chebo, Amaya north of Abeshge, Sodo jidas, Zway, etc by sham referendums. Also Somali lands, Gambella lands, Adar lands, Some Sudama lands are annexed by OLF.
Tigrey because of TPLF gobbled up Raya, Tsegede, Tselemt, formerly Amara
If you are ethnically organized federal government rewards you with more lands, money and also forge your population to show a higher number.
Gambella State; 3/4 of Gambella is given to the 'noise-maker', Oromo style victim.nation and armed minority Anuak because majority Nuer is not ethnically organized norbis it armed.
