Re: Ethiopia: Amhara Genocide and Ethnic cleansing

Well done
Since PM Abiy Ahmed came to power, there is a widespread genocide and Amharas and other non Oromo groups like Guraghes, Gamos and other tribes by the Oromo fanatics in the Oromia region. The genocide has the following characteristics:

Tribal (general): Hunting Amharas predominantly and prominent non-oromos (especially guraghes, gamos, gedios, etc…). The group or the authority that perpetrates genocide can either follow a pattern or act indiscriminately. For example in Armenia the local authorities ordered Armenian men and older boys to be executed outside the villages and towns.
– Primary targets: Adult men, Prominent elders, celebrities, educated elites
– Secondary Targets: Women and children
Tribal-Religious: Amharas are primary targets because of their ethinicity and their religious stance. Most of them were orthodox Christians but other Christians like Pentecostals were included. Christian Oromos are considered either as traitors or they have been “amharized” by marriage or religion. In this mix other Christian non-Oromos like Guraghes, Gamos and gedios are included
Identity and institutional eradication
a. In the education sector: burning down schools and colleges owned by amharas primarily and guraghes. In Universities directly killing amhara students, kidanapping –raping and killing non Oromo primarily amhara girls.

b. Businesses:

– Destroying amhara businesses by burning and looting them down
– Destroying amhara businesses by racketeering
– Destroying amhara businesses by putting up high taxes through the government structure
c. Churches: burning and looting churches (30 Orthodox churches) so far and killing priests and attendees

d. Wiping out Ethiopian identity through

– Fabricating false fictional history and brain washing Oromo youth
– Wiping out Ethiopian history from school curricula at all levels
– Burning historical documents
– Editing the bible and eliminating the word “Ethiopia” from the scripts
– Destroying heritage sites like statues e. Ethnic cleansing
– By forcefully displacing (through violence) primarily amhara and non oromo populations by destroying their homes
– By designing a demographic shift strategy of pushing out amharas from towns and replacing them by oromos in their place by mobilizing rural Oromo population in to towns and cities
– By disenfranchising amharas and pushing them economically through tax, confiscation tactics, theft, ethnic preferencing and kleptocracy f. Massive propaganda on amharas
– By establishing mass media that propagate hate and encourage killings
– Brainwashing Oromo Youth with untruthful hate propaganda in print, mass and social media plat forms
The use of the governance structure to eliminate Amharas was one of the key strategies in the architecture of amhara genocide. The Oromia regional state, Sidamo zon
What we are witnessing today in Ethiopia is a continuation of the galla (Oromo) invasion that started in the mid 16th century. Before the mid 16th centuries the Gallas never lived in Ethiopia. They migrated from the lower east coast of Africa upwards north and resided in the current Mombasa area and sprung from there. The original Gallas are the Borenas which started expanding up north using a gangster culture called the Geda. Geda which means invasion is a criminal organization’s looting and killing strategy. According to Pankhurst (1997) the Oromos/Gallas started invading Ethiopia starting from 1521 by the first luba called Melbah. Every Luba rules for 8 years and is replaced by a new one. In order for a galla individual to become a luba he has to kill as many people as possible especially men and boys and become aba geda first and then luba. Haile G(1995) states the following in the Ye Abba Bahrey dirsetoch:

The Galla appeared from the west and crossed the river of their country, which they call gelena, to the frontier of Bali, in the time of the Hatse Wenag Segged. They are the two tribes who are called Bereytuma11 and Boren. They have neither king nor master like other peoples; rather they obey a luba for eight years. And after eight years another luba is appointed, and the first is relieved. They do so at every period. The meaning of luba is “those who are circumcised at the same time.” And the order of their circumcision is like this: when a luba steps down, the Bertuma and Boren each gives itself a name, just as the nigus’s regiments are called Sillus Hayle, Bedil Tsehay, and Giyorgis Hayle. Pp.198-201 So essentially the Aba Geda who is the head of the clan and his military wing Aba Dula are murderers who essentially killed hundreds and thousands of people. Because of the Galla invasion within 80 years 28 tribes and languages were completely wiped out due to mass genocide and mass enslavement called gerba. The Geda, which is fundamentally a murder incorporated like militaristic organization thrives by the killing of other non Galla(Oromo) tribes, confiscating and/or destroying their properties and enslaving the survivors.The mogassa system of Geda enslaved many Ethiopians of amhara, guraghe, hadiya, kembata, wolayita tribes starting from the late 16th century.

The enslavement included raping the women, killing them at will, forbidding to speak their language, changing their name and identity. This led to a massive number of slaves more than the borena and barentu galas which became a 9:1 ratio of slave to Gallas. So today those people who claim to be Oromos 90% of them have no Galla heritage, they are descendants of the enslaved non Galla (Oromo) tribes (Reyot panel discussion, 2020) . Because the Geda looting and killing strategy stayed so long it eventually became a culture that perpetuated physical and cultural genocide in Ethiopia, destroying the country’s development and civilization. In the 20th century, the rise of communism opened a new window to modify this ethnicidal culture by reducing history, killing more non Oromos and displacing millions through different maneuvers.

The Oromos came up with fabricating and reducing history by falsifying it and distorting it for propaganda purposes. They claimed they are the first human beings on earth and in Ethiopia, while they were not originally present in the horn of Africa region. They came and occupied Ethiopian provinces through mass genocides in the 16th century following the invasion of Ahmed Gragn. In the OLF rhetoric the Amharas are “culture-destroying race” and should be destroyed ultimately. According to the speeches of fanatic Oromo and Tigrian leaders , such as Ezkiel Gabissa, Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, Shimelis Abdissa and Meles Zenawi , the Amharas should be eliminated through a war of annihilation in which one side would triumph and the other would be utterly destroyed. According to these Oromo fanatics, Oromos health and prosperity would be restored and become even greater through the victorious struggle against the Amharas. With final victory Oromia as a nation would be powerful, its rule uncontested, its domination feared. As a people, Oromos would be productive and prosperous, with freely flowing water, freshly flowering plants, and smiling people. Everyone would be joined in a racially [deleted] grouping, with healthy members and the elderly well cared for.

The Gallas or Oromos invaded Shewa province of Abysinnia during the 17th century and forced many communities of gurages amharas omotic speakers and Shanqellas to lose there identity and heritage to the identity of the Kenyan Oromo of borena
