Tigray and Amhara are very similar. Some say they are one tribe. It is the power struggle between the kings that there is some mistrust between Amhara and Tigray.
In the long term, Tigray and Amhara need to unite. Culutral exchanges like music and theatre shows could help recreate the lost trust. Amhar children should learn Tigrigna as if it is a dialect of their language. Schools in Amhara should add Tigrigna to their curiculum. Schools in Tigray do learn Amharic. Tigray children age 5 speak tigrigna and Amharic fluently. They speak Tigrigna better.
The Amhara need Tigray because it is their history. It is impossible to imagine Amhara culture and language without Geez and Aksumite tradition.
Some suggest dividing the current Amhara Tigray region into 5-6 units of Administration where there is a mixture of Amhara and Tigray. For example, North Gonder and Aksum and Adwa could be one province. Gojamme and Wolqait could be another. Raya and Lalibella could be another province. etc Feudal Tigray should be Amharized and feudal Gondar and Gojamme should be Tigrianized. We need to work on this !
