Dawi,
If Tigres spared Ethiopia in the past, then that was also because back then the center of gravity of the country was in the north, many things Ethiopia was known for and lived on all came from the north. Now the center has moved to the south, its capital city, its precious resources, its human capital, its seat of political heartbeat (just remember how the recent movement started by Qeerroos movement, in the south, drove out the highly entrenched and armed to the teeth TPLF, which hoped to rule for at least 100 years) within couple of years. In 1991 that was not the case. Before 1991 it is even more difficult to imagine such kind of power to reckon with could emerge from the south. Even our access to the ext. market has now shifted to the south, or at least don't solely rely on just one route.
BTW. Is that guy Tibebu menamen, the same guy, who was singing about Amara yesew lij wuhalik song?
What is he doing now by this reyot menamen?
Defend,
Yared is a former EPDM (EPRDF); In this video, he says that he was the first to claim "OroMara" some 28 years ago (eat your heart out Seyoum Teshome! :~) but, dropped it later after looking where it was going?
Defend, listen to the discussion; it is outside (of) the box.
BTW, believe it or not, ጎዳና ያእቆብ is a "Borena" "boy" who has families both in Kenya and Ethiopia.

So, he is conscious of "Qerroos"!
Preserving Ethiopian Independence is not like today's embarrassing "internal" bickering of ours. It's absolutely not the same!
I found Yared's designation of Tegaru "stubborn" character very ringing! Seyoum Teshome has authenticated that Tegaru character in his videos. Seyoum said, you can't explain that in Conflict Theory! Further studies are needed in that "characteristics".
Having said that, "Ethnic Federation" is a colonial design to isolate "Amhara Nationalism" from the rest of Ethiopia.
Cheers!
