Tanzania has over 120 ethnic groups yet remains peaceful, as its government is not based on tribal federation—unlike Ethiopia.

Tanzania is often cited as one of the more peaceful countries in Africa, despite having over 120 ethnic groups. This diversity could have been a source of division like in Ethiopia, but in practice it has been managed in a way that emphasizes national identity over ethnic competition. Since independence, leaders like Julius Nyerere promoted unity through a common language (Swahili) and inclusive nation-building policies, helping reduce the risk of ethnic rivalry that affects many multi-ethnic states.

A key factor behind this stability is Tanzania’s unitary system of government. Power is largely centralized, and the country is not divided into ethnically defined political regions. This has limited the institutionalization of ethnic identity in politics, meaning elections and governance are less likely to become contests between ethnic blocs. This structure has helped Tanzania avoid the kind of persistent internal tensions seen in Ethiopia.

By contrast, Ethiopia adopted an ethnic federal system in the 1990s under the Tigray People's Liberation Front, organizing regions along ethnic lines which has deepened divisions and contributed to recurring conflict and instability, and genocide over the past three decades.

Unlike Julius Nyerere, Meles Zenawi tribal/ethnic system in Ethiopia, resulted in destruction of the sovereign country of Ethiopia , brought tribal war and genocide. In the case of Ethiopia ethnic mosaic becomes a curse, while in Tanzania which has more ethnic groups than Ethiopia, has been a blessing.

While you may blame Meles for exacerbating the existing problem, you have to point elsewhere for the deep structural flaw of Ethiopia. There were half a dozen liberation fronts in Ethiopia fighting the Derg. Afar, Benishangul, Oromo, Sidama, Somali, Tigray. Ethiopia was always a fragile collection. It is now broken beyond repair.

Chika angol Aberber,

The main reason Tanzania ethnics live in peace is they do not have like "Ebd" or insane primitive animal Amhara. Amhara does not know what he/she is doing, they do not know what is coming tomorrow and they do not remember what they did yesterday. You want to live with the ethnics you committed genocide, where is the humane brain to ask and get respond to tell you what you are doing and what you did yesterday???

Tigray has harvested more than enough the fruits of the evil seed the Ember-Tegedaly 3rd grader school drop-out goat herder illiterate Woyane. Tigray suffered worse than the scale at which each Egyptian lost its first born due to the hard-hearted ignorant Pharoah. Almost more than a quarter of Tigre youth wiped out in the war waged between Tigray-Woyane and Amhara Special -Fano force. That trauma is still fresh and nagging you even even if OLF-PP Abiy Ahmed and Mike Hamer keep you breathing.

Raised eating too much cactus without removing its thorn, you have been the mother of all problems, misfortunes, and humiliations. I think cactus a poison fruit which needs to be banned for human consumption :lol:


Cactus raised and mucus brain Meles Zenawi sow seed of death for Tigray, unlike Julius Nyerere of Tanzania. Hybrid Adigi-Ascari Meles Zenawi did not sow Avocado tree, but sowed bombs/landmines, to rip off your skinny legs. You harvested bombs and burnt out your fake map of "Abay Tigray". Thanks to Amhara Special Force/Fano, to set on fire and a blazed it.
3rd grader Woyane ( school drop-outs) attempted to impose an internationally banned Tribal Federalism, not out of the good intention of benefiting the more than 80 ethnic groups (used to amicably, intermarried, interwoven) but in an illusion that Tigray's problem caused by nature /geography could be solved by separating from Ethiopia and stealing the fertile land of Amhara; as well as landlocking Ethiopia serving as mercenary. Cactus raised and mucus brain was showing his hate to all ethnic groups, by saying Tigre are "gold" and the rest are "non-gold". The fruit if hate you harvested rolling over in the dust road of the cities of the West, crying "UUU Joe-Biden! help us against Amhara Fano " :mrgreen:

If you were better inteligent than a donkey, you would not come out braying Amhara, but confess and stand for destroying the tribal-wall ( ethnic federalism) and free Tigray people from this prison and slaughter house. Tigray people locked themselves out feeding/hu.gging and dying for 3rd grader goat herder illiterate Woyane - and they paid in lives in millions. The bottom-line, there will never be a territory that belongs to Tigray province across Tekeze River, lake Ashenge.

The very reason you all rat Woyane breathes is because of Abiy Ahmed -OLF. You are taking advantage of being called Ethiopia, if there were no Ethiopia imagine what Amhara could do to you! An armed Amhara with all advanced weapons can kick you out in a day, the same to OLF-PP.
