Your problem is Ethnic based federalism. Meles and company thought Ethnic federalism was panacea. It wasn’t. In none Ethnic based federalism, it would not have mattered where Welqait could have been located. Stop thinking along the narrow ethnic identification. Your enemy is in Addis. Head on to the south together. You can bring the 13 provinces back to life and bring peace to the people of Ethiopia. Ethnic based federalism is the culprit.

TPLF is an ethnic entity and has been ethnic for over 40 years. The product is reaching Amharas ethnic politics. Unless TPLF renounces sole ownership of Welkait, Tselemt, Tegede, Raya Alamata the issues will continue. As TPLF does not act like a political entity rather a tribal entity.
Multi ethnic areas will only find peace if an administration similar to that of Harar, Dire Dawa is formed that grants all citizens equal opportunities and status.

That is not the choice of Amhara people.
The ethnic regions were made by TPLF/EPRDF and Abiy Ahmed is a EPRDF soldier continuing EPRDF system . So the Amhara, Oromia Benishangul regions were made by TPLF-EPRDF! It's not the choice of the people !

True, Meles and co were convinced of ethnic federalism ideology. Meles as smart he was, he fell for it. Horrendous mistake was committed. Meles must have realized but it was too late. It is never too late. Ethnic federalism will not benefit Ethiopia or all the surrounding countries. Get rid off it.

Ethnic federalism worked under Meles and it's still working well in eastern Ethiopia and southern Ethiopia
The problems start in disputed tribal borders like Afar-Somali border which is Warzone. Amhara-Tigray border. Amhara-Oromia border ( Welega-Dera)
Abiy has refused to solve or change the regional borders so the disputes are unsolved

Revisit your knowledge of the admibistrations of Harar and Dre Dawa. One of the most racist exclusionary enclaves. No equalities of citizenship there. Recheck your facts.
For an excercise of equality of citizenship where the language you speak, the tribe you belong don't matter, go nowhere other than Gurage.
I think, am not sure yet, Benishangul-Gumuz is another gem for the equality of citizenship. I am not sure, yet.
