These idiots are more foolish than the Sodos. Over many years they aligned with Qebena against Gurage, giving Cushitic minority Qebenas(1.81% of Gurage population) gifts of slaughter bulls for Eid el Fitr and Arefa. While they backstabed Gurage this way, they also sought the help of Gurage when another Cushitoc minority Mareqo (2.1% of Gurage pop) terrorized them.
Both terrorist groups are trained and armed by TPLF through OLF.

Can you imagine these traitors of Gurage, namely, Mesqan and Sodo align themselves with two Cushitic terrorist groups and kill the Gurage Region quest? That is exactly what happened.
All Sodo and Mesqan weredas plus Qebena and Mareqo together, in unison, in a well-coordinated manner, all at the same time, voted to say they do not support the Gurage Region demand. They then sent this vote to Abiy Ahmed, who then annuled the Gurage Region demand, illegally, which was voted for by majority of the elected members of the Gurage Zone. Constitutionally, weredas cannot vote down the votes of elected members of a Zone.

Gurage will survive these traitors. 7bet, Welene, Abeshge, Kokir and Gedebano remain intact. United and forging more unity among themselves. While traitors fill their tummies without shame.
Communy breakers!
Short-sighted Hodams
kibrebisoch!
Ye-galla slaves!

I could understand their (Meskan) guragigna better than the Kistane guragigna from the two videos you posted. The song is common gurage song. However, their dance a bit gets a twist from Silte?. Sodo Gurage dance is closer to sebat Bet.

I am really disappointed Gurage could not form a united front within Ethiopia or without and remain a laughingstock of and playing ground of Ethino-fascists form other regions. Gurage runs wherever they tell it to run to develop a city then gets ousted when they form another Kilil without giving Gurage a kilil of its own.

I am surprised the so-called Elders of Gurage even could not hammer out a unity front so far. They should have been able to form some sort of Gurage shengo that at least tries to ease out these divisions. May be the OPP thugs bullying went beyond the elders scope.

My knowledge is limited to 7-bet, I don't have much knowledge about east Gurage besides some common cultural issues.

I don't know about Meskan much, but Kistane/Sodo Gurage tend to flock together instead of mixing with another Gurage. There is that problem even in the past. Instead of mixing with other Gurage, they mix more with Oromo and Amhara. They call themselves Gurage but except the common dance and the food, I am not sure how they can be called Gurage. They like to tell their separate history, achievement in the Ethiopian government etc...

I think 7-bet and the remaining others should work harder and perhaps influence those that want to isolate themselves develop their own thing[Kistane, meskan].

Although religion is not a divisive issue, I believe Meskan is mostly Muslim and maybe they just want to be left alone like Silte?

Per your para.1, linguists have established that nearly 90% of the time 7bet and Mesqan are mutually intelligible, meaning when a Mesqan individual speaks his dialect, a 7bet individual will understand him 90% of the time. They are so close.

Per your second paragraph, there are very powerful, influential forces against Gurage developing ethnic nationalist politics. Well educated, well-placed in the beaurocracy of the Ethiopian govs. The Gurage political tradition that discourages nationalism goes way back to the 1960s, spearheaded by Gurage generals in Haile Sellasie gov, high profile civil beaurocrats such as author of tge Afersata Sahle Sellasie B.Mariam, G.Yesus H.mariam, followed by the DERG era Gurage officials and acadrmics. And EPRDF appointeed beaurocrats continued the tradition of rejecting ethnic nationalism. Economist Mesfin(PhD) from.7bet, resident of Germany, appeared on many mefia, led the Gurage Intellectuals opposing tgh Gurage Region legal demand.
Thes folks rather brag about them not being nationalists and that Ethiopian nationalist groups should learn from Gurage on how not to embrace nationalism. Example: Dr.Birhanu Nega.
If you ask them what Gurage benefitted from not being nationalist, they have nothing to show for it. They can't defend their lame belief. They sound like a brainwashed kid who was told by a church that the Earth was flat.

No Gurage linguist has studied ways to develop a common standard Gurage language. Professor Fekedu Minuta of Hawas University encouraged each group of Gurage to write its dialect. For that to happen, he manipulated Geez alphabets to suit each dialect's special sounds.

Elders are unorganized toothless wise men/women with no powers to say NO to whatever Addis Abeba brings to Gurage. If they protest, they will arrest them. They will warn them candidly.

Mesqan is majority Muslim. More or less also Qoqir and Gedebano if 100% Muslim. Welene is 100%. Abeshge and 7bet are, I think, majority Muslim or 50-50.

The risk different religions play in forging unity remains but when carefully and respectfully handled, it can't be an issue. There were burning of 8 mosques in Mwhair in 2010 and burning of a forestry business machines owned by a Muslim, but the Gurage Zone controlled it by taking appropriate legal actions. Over all, Gurage is Muslim majority if the stat is correct. However, the more educated group and those in pilitics and beaurocracy are Christians.

The Sodo dance is too.much back and forth, very sexual. Mesqan being Muslim and Islam emphasizes modesty, they cut out the sexual suggestiveness of the Sodo modernized style of dance. If you go to the coutry of Sodo, rural Sodo, this sexually suggestive aggressively back and forth motion, does not exist. You will see the authentic, the uncorrupted style of dance there. You will also find this conservative Gurage dance in rural 7bet country.

You have no knowledge of how a group splits and dialects get formed. Nada. Zilch. You should be ashamed to open your mouth and make such categorical statements.

We will.expose traitors of Gurage. We do it to hurt. If we sting you, that is a collateral damage. Our goal to maintain the unity of Gurage by exposing the weakest links. You may pay dearly for betraying an unforgivable crime of treason if most are upst as we two are. You will pay for screwing unity of Gurage. It all all depends on the character of future Gurage unity organism.

Too.many betrayals of Gurage from Gurage East. Ironically, in favor of those who sbsorb you, Gallas in particilar and Amara in general. As of now, currently, it has been a tradition in Sodo that everyone wears an Amara name, an Oromo name or a mix of both. The Sodo Gurage name tradition died out. And Sodo is not ashamed of loss of its Gurage name tradition.
A shiit heap of sellouts.

Baboon Whorus, why start so many topics on Gurage without running of pages to write on?
Attention seeker!
