Show me any evidence that proves "shaebia" had in any way, shape or form been involved in any genocide!

I'll wait!

So that means Getachew and company is facing genocide accusation from the Amharas.

Hi Eden,

You made it sound like he has been denied his day in court and begging for opportunity. The heading would be appropriate when someone was languishing in jail without due process. Abiy has absolute power and he is doing everything in his power to make sure that day never comes.

Getachew really thought he can maneuver international journalist. This is the end of Getachew and his admirers who call him with the endearment "Getach". He was exposed big time and he is now a laughing stoke

TPLF in general is in a political dead end. One group allied with Issayas and they are forced not to implicate Issayas, the other group working with Abiy and finding themselves like this. Tigray politics aimed at short term goals against Amharas is in utter chaos now

The way I see it, Getachew did huge service to people in this interview: he breathed life into the number one (seemingly forgotten) agenda of the people, the Genocide and the matter of accountability for the Genocide.

Many say Getachew committed political suicide. This is immaterial. What counts is he proved, intentionally or unintentionally, Abiy is indefensible when it comes to the Genocide.

Don’t be shocked if OPDO clique goes after him. He exposed them more as a “friend” than as an enemy, and they know it.

I advise Getachew not to go back home or he’ll end up somewhere worse than Buayalew.

Eden, you saw and heard what you wanted to hear only. I.e "Genocide". I do believe the OPDO gangs committed serious crime on humanity in Tigray but that truth was successfully wrapped in blanket to not be heard again by Abiy when he played the Pretoria game.

TPLF politicians made a blunder when they acted as if they are divided letting one wing lead by Getachew, Tsadkan and Kindeya to sleep in 4 kilo while the other leadership to dance with Issayas. They hoped to get Issayas and Abiy into confrontation but that did not happen. Tsadkan dancing the Asab talk and Getachew playing soft on Welkait was a way to earn trust in 4 kilo. But the journalist in Aljazirra hold Getachews tiny and sagging balls firmly by asking "is Abiy a genocide or not"

Getachew could not say yes or no because it is very dangerous for the whole mission. If he says Yes, Abiy will act quick dismantling all of them. If he says No, it will be recorded and future persecution and cry to implicate Abiy will not be materialized. Getachew beat around the bush which made him look a stupid person. But Abiy will surely understand the motive of Getachew by now and eliminate him by saying Debretsions TPLF assassinated him.

Trust me, both Getachew and Tsadkan are in danger. I would say the same about the other wing. Mind you one of the Pretoria agreement was not to implicate Abiy on Genocide. TPLF is really a curse for the people of Tigray. They won't get justice

I get your perspective except I don’t think Pretoria made Abiy, or anyone else for that matter, free.

BTW, Abiy’s motivation to divide TPLF/TDF leadership is not to weaken them but to prove to OPDO leadership that he deserves their continued support. He’s trying to fool them that he’s still in control outside Oromia. That’s why he parades Tsadkan & Getachew in Oromia and OPDO affiliated media. Abiy is a liability to OPDO, and OPDO is figuring this out.

What is your opinion on the guy next to Debretsions in terms of power and authority posting "Stockholm Syndrome" and removing it later in reference to Getachew latest interview

የትግሬ እስተሳሰብ :lol:
Your thinking fails to go an inch to understand Abiy’s motive!
Axumkizenam still thinks abiy will reconcile with TPLF and hates the success of fano. He was whining because a news read an officer defected to fano.
I know, instead of fano succeed, Taplfites favor Abiy to rule but want recognize them for the contribution of ethnic politics.
The problem is abiy saved TPLF for his game and advantage as joker. TPLF is his joker to play Amhara/Fanno and if he could shabiya too.
Unfortunately his trick did not yield the max result he wished. What is his wish, to break fano back and be in peace with both TPLF and Shabiya if he could. He made a blunder with Shabiya, then felt shabiya enabled fano and started Assab rhetoric in vain. Then the tsemdo thing started complicating things for both TPLF and Abiy. Abiy’s goal is one and one. He does not want a computator at individual or private level. Full submission with no string attached and be lifted high in the HoA and the world my arse! TPLF now is a mishmash unless changes strategy to align with Fano or back to PP. Abiy will never get a respect from Amhara and perhaps from shabiya (even if he totally stops the Assab mantra) and lastly from many serious Ethiopians. His time perhaps will end in conflict and chao!

By the way, Abiy for most part controls the Oromo herd as far as he says oromo is in power and he lets them they steal and snatch! He does not need to TPLF to show them he rules the north so that they follow him. Poor analogy. The herd in Oromia mostly follows him with a whistle :lol:

Odie,

Allow me to ask. In your imagination, you don’t see leaders inside OPDO seeing Abiy as liability when, under his leadership, OPDO successfully became enemy of Eritrea FANO OLA TDF overnight?

Nope :lol: They may be worried they might lose power or unstable situation develop.
They are doing what they see fit. If they had that sentiment they would not kill innocent people in their region which a driving factor for them to be hated. The Oromo politicians in OPDO in my perception are not yet coexisting beast with others because all atrocities are happening under their eyes. What they care about is now to keep power under their control and keep becoming oligarch by stealing. To continue this they falsely will continue to preach ኢትዮዽያ ሱሴ :lol: All the read sea quest is not quite for Assab perse but to make nationalists and pseudonationalists the likes of Hoe-rus to beat a drum to follow them. For most part!
Their fear is Fano, in other words Amhara elite coming and a little bit fear for Oromos in exile. Visit social media to have more idea to see how much of Oromo youth is against PP? As far as they feed them hate rhetoric and give them previleged with resource, allow them be corrupt, they will follow them en mass.
I doubt even the diaspora Oromo opposition has much play of the youth as Jawar used to do in the past.
Mortal treat for PP/OPDO is the north for now. TPLF is no more politically appealing to south of Tigray unless they strategize change party name or create a new alliance with fano and moderate Oromos outside and inside which has a risk by its own but a practical choice. Otherwise, I don’t see a viable political future for Tigray with TPLF. TPLF fellout with the rest of Ethiopians and perhaps many of its own followers.
Of course, Oromo youth won’t continue serving OPP as there will be a breaking point specially when the war becomes unbearable and the youth becomes a cannon fodder, the rebellion will peak. Is the Oromo OPP support at a critical stage to resent, some signs exist but not yet at peak stage!

When did you start to see OPDO as a reliable, educated and independent elite?. Abiy let them swim in corruption, money embazeling, appropriating Amhara businesses, take over all the businesses in the country....etc. OPDO fat cats are now in hotels or clubs with big booty young girls having a time of their life. They don't have seconds to think about Abiy and where he is leading their people. Abiy's እርካብና መንበር book is all about how to tame adversaries and how to keep subjects as loyal as they can be.

I recommend you to read Abiy's book and the book inspired him to write it. That book is "48 Laws of Power" by Robert green. I don't think you have been to Addis recently

Hi Misraq,

Do you believe the TPLF split is:
a, pretending
b, real split
c, a drama gone out of hands
