The outing of Berhanu Nega as an anti-Amhara figure is not based on speculative accusations but grounded in his own actions. No one needed to name him explicitly—his deeds speak volumes.

Berhanu Nega rose to political prominence through multi-ethnic political movements largely powered by Amhara activists who resisted ethnic-based politics. He masterfully presented himself as a universalist, earning the trust of many Amharas who came to see him as one of their own.

In 2009, General Asaminew Tsige, Colonel Demsew, Yaregal Yimama, and I met with Berhanu in Dubai to discuss a planned coup attempt by army officers and their collaborators in the security services. These officers shared sensitive documents explaining why Amhara soldiers opposing TPLF rule were organizing along ethnic lines. To them, Berhanu’s Gurage identity didn’t matter—he was seen as a trusted ally.

Both before and after Abiy Ahmed’s rise to power, many Amharas confided in Berhanu about their ethnic concerns. I, like others, defended him against accusations of being anti-Amhara. I pointed out that his children are half-Amhara, that he barely speaks Guragigna, and that he dreams in Amharic. For years, he hid his hostility toward the Amhara cause—until recent events exposed him.

. Berhanu again sided with the OPDO, parroting the official line that all regional forces—including the TPLF’s—were being disarmed and dismantled. He repeated these claims despite the clear and credible evidence presented showing that neither the TPLF had been disarmed nor were other regional special forces being dismantled.
Berhanu said nothing when thousands of Amharas were slaughtered in Wellega and other areas in the Oromia region. He remained silent when millions were displaced. In private conversations, he defended every policy Abiy enacted in Addis Ababa, including:

The singing of the divisive OPDO ethnic anthem in schools and the display of the OPDO flag alongside the Ethiopian flag in every school.

The calculated replacement of Amhara civil servants with Oromo ethnic nationals—justified under the guise of “ethnic balance,” even though Oromos are a minority in Addis.

Berhanu supported these moves, knowing full well they resulted in the unjust firing of Amharas from positions they had long held without offering them alternative employment or compensation.

During Abiy enabling election he told to Gurages, he is an Ethiopian and not a Gurage. In addis, supposed to be more of diverse Ethiopian resident, he failed to be elected. Let him answer for himself and stand judgment. Not my type anyway

Also Andargavmchew should look at and analyse those in PP power who say they are Amhara but work to kill Amhara people. Those who sit in Amhara kilil and train Amhara youth to kill their own brothers and family members.

It is a sad reality that the country is heading to a spectacular collapse because we trusted those who never had the interest of their supporters at heart. Hate is a great motivator and Betrayal has become the modes-operandi for the political elites who are only benefitting themselves at the expense of the common good. One would wonder what benefit they see in destroying their own country? I am not naïve enough to assume that they do not have a grasp of what is brewing is detrimental for the survival of the country as one polity.

Could you imagine that Berhanu could be the person who snitched on General Asaminew and his colleagues? and gave them out for TPLF hyaenas just so the Amhara won't have equal shot at the power if TPLF was to collapse? It is sickening

So, how are you helping the Amara cause by fighting against Berhanu on ER? No, Berhanu is not anti-Amara. He is married to Amara woman and his children are half Amara. It is people like you who are manufacturing more enemies and hate against the people of Amara. If you disagree with the ideas and ideology of Berhanu, tell us why and how your ideology is better. I can tell you one thing. Berhanu is not an Amara nationalist. He is not Gurage nationalist. He is not Oromo nationalist. And, he is not anti-Gurage, he is not anti-Amara, he is not anti-Oromo.

Birhanu is not married to Amara at all. His wife is a Gurage. I know her

And meles Zenawi was married to Amara too, so what?

Very unfortunate indeed!
I followed Birhanu Nega during Ginbot 7. I know diaspora was moved by his rhetoric. But he lacked substance and any tangible military experience of armed group leader to change the political landscape of a large country like Ethiopia. Diaspora followed him that time may be because of lack of obvious alternative that time. We know he is a sellout and no use beating a dead horse now. Of course, if a date comes where abiy and his cabinet could be tried for accountability of ethnic cleansing and other atrocities, B Nega should be held accountable as he at least participated in signing to initiate these activities.

How stup*id it is to argue by inserting his wife's heritage to exonerate his glaring crimes? Abiy Ahmed is married to Amhara women from a prominent Gondar family, and yet he is the prime butcher of Amhara people. Even Lencho Letta is married to Amhara woman. Temesgen Tiruneh is Amhara himself [deleted] he is the main accessory in murdering the Amhara people. We are calling out those who deceived us by pretending to stand for justice and equality when in fact they were the enemies who have been betraying us time and again. It is his close friend and former comrade in arms who is exposing the manure for who he truly is. It saddened me deeply because he fooled so many and worse yet, he is contributing immensely to the disintegration of the country.

We call a spade by its name and traitors deserve no respect. We are fighting for the our rights and dignities as human beings and are not in a market to shop for pretentious friendship. Those who swing their stand like a weathervane do not deserve our friendship nor do they command our respect.

The enemy we faced likes everything we have, but hates our very existence. The enemy sees marrying our daughters is a nice thing to do, yet the enemy doesn't like it when one of our brothers are near to power. It is just that complex type of toxic relationship. The good thing is that the Amhara people learnt all this the hard way, after being betrayed and let down endlessly. Andargachew is a close confident of Birhanu Nega Bonger. It appears his grudge on Amhara is similar to Oromos in which he was being called ጩሎ in his school days. But he is not capable enough to tell us the ethnicities of those who called him that way. He just assumed they are amhara while they could well be Oromos, Eritreans or Tigrayans or even hybrid beher-behereseb. crimes commited by amharic speaker Derg Oromos is considered as a crime of Amharas and amharas were forced to pay for it. This will all change trust me cadrew

Grade school children in Mesqan were attacked in their classes by suspects who wore military uniforms. They killed and maimed the children in a gruesome way. They amputated genitals of boys and breasts of girls.
Birhanu Nega did not condemn it. But when a few months later news came out that some Christians were attacked some where in SNNPR, he condemnt it. Proof he hates Gurage as you do, especially when the victims are Muslims or peasants.

The attackers were the groups that are supported by OPDO and the Orommuma extremists. Thousands of Amhara people living in Gurage zone have been murdered, their property burned to the ground and their livelihood destroyed and they turned to stateless overnight. MesQans were attached by their own Gurage brethren who sold their soul to the devil OPDO. Berhanu or the darkness is an angel of death who betrays everyone at the first opportune moment. He is now serving Orommuma hopping one day that he might ascend to the ultimate power and replace Abichu . He is only loyal to himself!! Those who blindly follow the darkness do so because they see him as part of their sub-tribe as we have frequently witnessed. They have the audacity to claim that they are standing for Ethiopia and accusing others as adherents of tribal politics. They only see the green pasture in the endless and needless bloodsheds of innocent citizens. They are the ones who are mostly responsible for the disintegration of the country and the crimes committed against innocent civilians.
