Why the name Ethiopia does not always ring a bell to others like ቆምጬ❗️

Post by Odie » 13 Mar 2026, 15:04

Historically, the areas south, southwest, and southeast of Shewa (Amhara region) were generally not considered part of the core medieval "Ethiopian Empire" or "Abyssinia" (centered in the northern highlands) before Emperor Menelik II's expansion in the late 19th century. These territories were often autonomous, independent kingdoms or tribal lands, such as the Kaffa or Oromo Gibe states, and were incorporated into the modern Ethiopian state between the 1870s and 1890s.

Historical Core: Before Menelik II (reigned 1889–1913), "Ethiopia" or "Abyssinia" typically referred to the highlands of Tigray, Gondar, Gojjam, and northern Shewa.
Expansion: Menelik II significantly expanded the empire's borders to the south, southeast, and southwest, incorporating regions like Hararghe, Wolayita, and Gurage, which had not previously been under a unified, centralized Ethiopian rule.

Terminology: The term "Abyssinia" (Habesha) often excluded these peripheral areas, which were later integrated into the modern Ethiopian nation-state.

When we talk about modern Ethiopia, we mean a country in renaissance where all ethnics are equal and respected and somehow connected. All cultures having equal value. All languages considered as a rich heritage.
EThnics don’t relate to the “Ethiopia” concept ቆምጬ envisages as this is an internal colonial concept mostly referring to the old abyssinia it’s name deliberately inserted into holly books, connected to fairytale Menelik I son of Solomon, to convince and subdue others. Mostly used in northern regions.
To put painful history to rest, the name ethiopia and all the paraphernalia including the flag may have to be retired in favor of new renaissance names and symbols :idea:

The call for the second Renaissance is beyond the comprehension of a subhuman Guraghie thug who broke the maxim of the former First Lady Michelle Obama that your word is your bond countless times in the last eighteen years.

It is beyond the comprehension of the Last Lucifer Yohannes Leta of Dembi Dollo who decimated Christianity as humanity knew it.

It is beyond the comprehension of the illiterate man sitting in Asmara commanding his functionally illiterate followers from a village called Eritrea and wants the whole world, including you, to listen to his lecture.

Give it whatever name you wish, here is the cradle in a few words in Simple Human Intelligence (SHI) for generations to come. The ancient great Pharaohs had names and pioneering history in the entire world.

Are you a ቆምጬ or a slave of ቆምጬ from Borena?

We are trying to teach the idiot komche and who knows you too that we are not slaves for ቆማጦች to own us in their archaic perception of Ethiopia.We are trying to make them understand what the new Ethiopia concept is so that they can frame their primitive politics based on that :mrgreen:

Not considered Axumite jurisdiction south of Lasta, the most southern frontier of the kingdom whose army garrison name was Amara.
The word Ethiopia was adopted by a Greek merchant and explorer to areas south of Egypt which in effect was the Kingdom of Kush. They also referred to the area south of Libi or Libya as Ethiopia.
When Ezana invaded Kush Kingdom 330AD, of course sponsored by the Byzantine Empire which spoke Greek, when he returned to Axum, he renamed his kingdom Ethiopia.
So, historically, the lands south of Lasta were different kingdoms, independent jurisdictions separate from Axum.

Alas :lol:
The lost Komche generation fails to understand not everybody is in love with the Komche coined Ethiopia of Menelik II as many know now it was a trick or deception to take the south and others hostage :lol:

Ezana was an exception in history to adopt the name of the kingdom he destroyed and left. Most cinquerers impose their names on the defeated.
It could be that the inferior Axumites, anything that sounded Greek let alone that was a Greek word was more prestigious than the Agew word of Axum, which meant a water well.

When they meet foreigners, they kiss their shoes, to get guns and to appear civilized before other Africans :lol: When they come to other ethnics, they pretend to be something else like a wild beast or something. Axum is a different animal that probably did not push deep south. Then came the ze-Agew/Zagwe but they destroyed them by conspiracy. Then the new hybrid Komche stole everybody's leftover, gun from outside, mystified thinking in pseudo-christianity and the bible to push south/north and enslave others. Unfortunate :mrgreen:

As a client state the Eastern Roman Empire at Constantiniple, Africa south of the coasts of Mediterranean and Red seas were unknown territories. The Greek speaking Romans knew Kush kingdom was rich in gold from their contacts in Egypt. Due to the long journey south from Alexandria on the Nile with its non-navigability due to rocks and exposed river stones called cataracts to reach golds kingdom of Kush, they opted to finance, traine, arme Ezana to go and destroy it.
Constantinople also wanted to control of the spice trade from India along the Red Sea coast and the frankinsence and myrrh trade that made Yemen rich. So, they trained, armed financed Axum to invade Yemen, which it tried it 525AD but failed to subjugate it. 50 years later in 575, it suceeded.

Axum, a poor and dependent power hungry proxy would have invaded lands south of Lasta if these lands were explored by Romans to have resources they wanted.

Tigrey or Amara, thir morality is theft of others' possessions. That should go against the teachings of Christ. Their morality have been anti-christ.

Their detail historic behaviors of both Amara and Tigrey are nausatingly unchristian and ungodly.

It is because they follow tradition and fairytale. They don’t live it. We saw during war they blow the same church they worship in and they stored machine guns and cannon in the church! Disgusting😖

More than 18 years ago, I respectfully engaged both you and Semira/Misraq/Dama for a meaningful historic discussion about the ancient Ethiopian ቃልቻ or ቃሉ thinking you would be up to the meaningful historic discussion. I had no idea who each of you were as a person.

Both of you quickly forced me to ignore you by demonstrating that practically you were illiterates.

Since then, I have observed you change your positions.

You fiercely argued against me that language is symbolic that doesn’t mean anything or something to that effect. You added that Amharic was being taught as a course in many countries.

You have turned around in such a short time to fiercely argue against what you fiercely argued in favor of.

You have written ኢትዮጵያን የነካ ዬለዉም በረካ!

That was fiercely arguing in favor of what you fiercely argued against today.

These are but two examples of many self conflicting arguments that you have made on this forum over the years.

This behavior of yours has forced me to ignore you as someone lacking in mental development or ingrained consciousness about conscience.

The history of ቃልቻ or ቃሉ is much older than the Ethiopian born who presumably turned CIA Chihuahuas, including Isaias Afwerki, Meles Zenawi, and Yohannes Leta, that arrived in Ethiopia in 1991.

For a Renaissance man the word ቃልቻ or ቃሉ alone is enough to understand Ethiopia from ancient era to this era.

About 35 years later after 1991, an illiterate Ethiopian who has absolutely no credit to his name about the history of ቃልቻ or ቃሉ calls me ቃሎ።

He happens to be a Godless thug who underestimates the age old consciousness of the God fearing people of Ethiopia and others.

I take ቃሎ as a badge of honor from a Godless and practically illiterate Ethiopian. The ቃሎ believes in an almighty.

Einstein has it that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Your insanity of doing self-conflicting things over and over and expecting different results is worse.

A Borana man can say Morowa in Borana and Meroe in ancient Ethiopia.

You are the ገብረ extraction that the Borana told us about.

You have no moral or spiritual ground to lecture the Borana. You have failed your entire life how to correctly say Morowa and Meroe from ancient era to this era.
