What is the Gurage youth doing?

Post by Dama » 12 Feb 2026, 13:26

What's the politics that it is involved in an era of ethnic bationalisms all around it such as the Oromo, Amara, Tigrey, Somali and Sidama nationalisms? To some extent Hadiya nationalism targetted at Gurage. Especially, why is it quiet whdn minorities in Gurage are killing, terrorizing Gurage and taking its lands. What is its pre-occupation? What can be worse for Gurage than losing peace and its lands? Why is these loses of lives, homes, shops and lands are tolerable? What could be worse to organize to prevent Gurage deaths and dispossession of its lands and properties such as houses, cattle and shops?
In my youth, our obessions were to overthrow military dictatorship through EPRP, AESM or the labor unions of Ethiopoa. There are no such Ethiopianist excuses now. Also, Gurage was not under attack both by the Ethiopianngovernment and rebels.

Their main occupation must not be blackmailing Muslim Gurages as opposing any Ethiopian government that comes to power. They did this during Haile Sellasie. Repeated it during Mengistu. I am not current on their malice toward Gurage Muslims during EPRDF.

The Gurage youth lacks recent role models of justice and freedom advocates. Shocking, the figures they hold in higj esteem and give an honorary place in their feudal kingdom are those who served in high bearocratic portfolios in Haile Sellasie and Mengistu governments. They built statues and also awarded them with Agaz titles. It doesn't endorse Gurage's warriorship against Menelick ad it regrets it ever happened against Cross waving genocider. It has obviously objected to learn and adapt to modern era's politics of ethno-nationalism including that of Fano of Amara.
