The Crime Corridor – Horus Is Loud but Missing the Point

Horus conveniently skipped the core issue. He shares cartoonish, crayon-like renderings of buildings and streets as if the residents of Addis Ababa are joyfully welcoming this so-called “development.” They are not. The will and rights of Addis Ababans are being trampled by cadres from Arsi, Bale, and elsewhere—brought in under the banner of demographic engineering through Oromummaa.

If a project isn’t people-centered, it almost always ends up working against the people — their future, their livelihoods, and their rights. If the people aren’t part of it, then it’s not theirs. And eventually, they will resist.

Here’s a clear example: when it becomes known that an OLF-affiliated cadre from Bale or Arsi has illegally seized ancestral land to construct a building, that building won’t last. It will either be demolished or returned to its rightful owner — because land ownership carries more meaning than any concrete structure. A building is just an assembly of materials. There’s nothing impressive about empty noise and flashy images.

This entire “corridor” project reeks of a political stunt, orchestrated by cadres for short-term show rather than long-term justice. In today’s world, what truly matters is fairness, inclusion, and sustainable peace — not propaganda in the form of construction.

Praising a system that benefits a few while exploiting and dispossessing the many is not only unethical — it’s criminal. That’s not progress. That’s apartheid dressed up as development.

Addis Abeba lands, vacant or developed, are being returned to individuals who prove their ancestors owned the lands and at no time their ancsetors sold the lands. The legal team of the City of Addis or Finfine checks the truthfulness of the claims against records on how the lands were owned by the city. This is a law passed by parliament.

I am sure you will agree with victims of land robbery.

You clearly don't know much about history. Addis Ababa belongs to all Ethiopians from every corner of the country—many of whom have lived there for two, three, or more generations. These people are native Addis Ababans in every sense.

I understand where you are coming from, but let’s not distort history. Gragn Ahmed I used his Silte foot soldiers to burn and destroy King Dawit’s city of Berara , what is now Addis Ababa. Today, Gragn Ahmed’s legacy seems to echo in Gragn Abiy Ahmed II, using Silte foot soldiers like Redwan to repeat the same destruction. History, it seems, is repeating itself.

Today the PP childish government mandates all buildings in Addis to be painted off-white and have lighting ribbons around them.

In essence, this is similar to the mandated city building styles practiced in communist countries, where standardized functionalist building blocks had to be built to advance propagandistic socialist realism and reinforce the unrealistic ideology of social uniformity. For example, Nazi Germany and east Europe have tragically implemented a government-controlled architecture for decades to primarily emphasize order and grand scale and reflect the state power. More than half a century later, those ugly buildings have been either razed to the ground or transformed to a colorful assembly of individually embellished architecture.

I don’t care whether people like it or not but government mandated paint colors or light fixtures will live only as long as the government lives. It’s counterfeit, superficial and unsustainable. It limits individual freedom and creativity. And it’s wrong to transfer the responsibility of the municipality to install street lights onto the landlords, who also pay a huge sum for property taxes, etc.

Compare the following impotent and cold European buildings with the colorful, joyful and diverse tropical cities:

I know history more than you do. All the history you know is a conveniently white washed history.

All lands acquired by violence, by war, by conquest are illegal occupations.

If an individual, be it Amara, Argoba, Gurage, Gafat/Bizamo, Damot or Oromo can prove that a plot of land in Addis or elsewhere belonged to their ancestors, and their ancestors did not sell the land but seized by government without their will, and coroborated by the municipalty in which they live in, justice is returned to them. This has been what Ethiopians fought for years: Justice.

Don't cry against justice which is truth.

Dama,

Please take the time to study the foundational history of how cities have developed around the world. Ethiopia is no exception to these historical patterns. However, in today's 21st-century world, where apartheid has been widely rejected and outlawed, Ethiopia’s experiment with ethnic federalism remains a dangerous anomaly.

This system has cost millions of youth their futures, short million lives short, displaced countless families from the ancestral homes their forefathers built, wiped out lifelong savings, and even led to people being burned alive in their own dwellings. These are not isolated tragedies—they are the direct outcomes of a governance model rooted in division and hatred.

Blinded by hate, you seem unwillingto acknowledge the destruction this system has caused. And disturbingly, if given the opportunity, you appear capable of surpassing even Abiy Ahmed in acts of cruelty and genocide. Sadly, you are a victim of double infection - tribalist and Wahabis. May God free you from these chronic sickness and bigotry.

You are just unhinged, insulting me because of your ethnocentric selfishness. If what comes up, must come down, all powers to it. That's obedience to the law of gravity.
Stop crying victim. You are not.

[Abere]

This entire act of yours (the hula-hoop of deflection ) is just a cover to push the narrative that Addis Ababans are exclusively Amhara and should therefore be displaced and removed. But everyone in this forum knows exactly who you are and what you represent. You view everything through the narrow lens of your own ideological cult, driven by a deep-seated hostility toward the Amhara.

And let’s be clear , it's not just the Amhara who are being targeted in Addis Ababa. The Gurage community is also under attack. Gurages are being pushed out of the city, their businesses and assets taken over in the name of 'Oromummaa'. Qeerroo activists are chasing Gurage street vendors with sticks. Go to Qolfe market — you'll find Gurage-owned shops destroyed and cleared out to be handed over under the guise of this movement. But since you are not Gurage, it seems you don't care.

Don't cry croc tears for Gurages. They will be compensated if they bought the land.

I don’t label anyone without a reason. Instead, they put a certain weird tag on themselves and I only simplify and interpret it for them.

- For example, Axumezana compares himself to the fearless animal, honey badger, and portrays himself as a devoted “Christian,” so soon enough he got the label ዕጨጌ ዓይጠ መጎጡ!

- Fedup always talks trash and mentions human waste repeatedly, so he earned the title, ዕዳሪው!

- Likewise, your bipolar buddy declared himself a መንፈስ and converted from ዓይነ ኩሉ to a pharaoh’s falcon god, called Horus. That’s where the label ጭልፊቱ was born from.

Anyways, I didn’t ask you to call him ጭልፊቱ or ጩልሌ! I only want you to stop dancing around and address him as አጭበርባሪ ሌባ።

Selam,

I am afraid you may have misunderstood my point.

The name you coined "Chilfitu" while referring to a falcon (agile), also carries connotations of a thief or swift stealer. This ambiguity can dilute the criticism. In contrast, I have consistently and clearly criticized Horus in multiple threads, using more direct and meaningful language than generic labels like "Leba," which is commonly applied to all kinds of thieves, both petty and grand. Calling him simply "Leba" or "Chilfitu" risks letting him off the hook—you need to be more precise in your critique.

Horus was once widely read and admired (by you and many others) until he gradually revealed himself as a staunch OLF tribalist. Now, he has become a full-blown fascist Qeerroo sympathizer who celebrates violence, displacement, suffering, and dispossession. He essentially carries Abiy Ahmed’s Aba Geday on his back, leading the charge into chaos.

Regarding your exchanges with Axumezana and Fedup: In my view, both have at least been open about their positions, even if what they stand for is fundamentally flawed. To be fair, I haven’t seen Axumezana using vulgar language—though he is a die-hard Woyane and has consistently misled Ethiopians by pretending to stand for Ethiopia while pushing an opposing agenda.

Fedup, on the other hand, is an open Shabia supporter. It’s not unusual for Shabia affiliates to be loud and use vulgar language, as they believe these are effective scare tactics—though in reality, they’re outdated and ineffective.

You missed one person here who call herself "Abiyssinia". I am just wondering what part of her looks Abyssinia.

ዕጨጌ ዓይጠ መጎጡ is a liar, flip-flopper and opportunistic woyane cadre.

ጭልፊቱ is a shallow tribalist who sold his conscience for a silver Dinar. Per ኦሪት ዘዳግም 25-1:3:, an አጭበርባሪ like him should receive at least forty lashes.

ዕዳሪው is a retired Shabia soldier who languished in Sawa for years and now struggles with unemployment along with bottled up anger and frustration.
