Is Ukraine the "Southern Tigray" of Russia? Southern Tigray Feels more Associated with Amhara than Eritrea, unlike the Northern Tigray. The issue between Russia and Ukraine feels very much like that. One part of Ukraine wanted to take the other part of Ukraine that does not believe it is part of the culture, language and phycological make up of the other. The part that feels it does not belong is also the bread basket of the whole Ukraine. In the case of Tigray province, the Southern part mostly identify with Amhara and also happened to be the break basket of Tigray province. Yet the Northern part wanted to taken them down the separatist road and join their Mereb-beyond folks (aka Eritrea). Since the Southern Tigray part is regarded as not-enough Tigres and have been discriminated /marginalized in manifolds, feels alienated and isolated their Amhara kins, a rift has been always there. It is this simmering difference erupting now - the Northern Tigray wanted to join Eritrea by stealing Amhara territory along with the Southern Tigray (breadbasket of Tigray). Sadly, generations times had wasted in the past and will continue. The north has been creating narratives to take the entire Tigray from one ditch to anther deep ditch, mostly out of sheer self-inflicted complex hard to heal from.
