Raya-Angot is Amhara but we let Tigray Keep it

Post by Noble Amhara » 09 Mar 2022, 22:23

Raya and its environs historically belong to the province of Amhara. All the woreda and villages bear Amharic name tag Alamata Chercher Mehoni Azebo Waga Weyra Wuha and this is solid evidence that shows as the region once upon a time used to be inhabited by Amhaea before being incorporated into Tigray.

The only claimant argument we hear from Tigrays is that the region was part of tigray before Haileselasie's and Menilik's era, but they have never mentioned the status and demography of the region as to what it looked like before Haileselasie and Minelik. There is also no evidence of Menelik and Haile Selassie carrying about Raya

The Emperors even incorporated many areas that are not wollo into wollo like Mekdela, Sayint Amhara, Lasta, Sekota

Because Meles Zenawi put the region under the administration of Tigray, and because that was accepted at the time by Amhara since Tigray are their citizens with whom they share history, religion and culture, that doesn't make the region Tigray land for good.

However, Amhara now starts showing a tendency of secession just like their cousins Eritrean Kebessas. The Eritrean Kebbesas snatched Assab and Dankalia territory and left us with a huge task to bring that back.


Worbela Shifta Agame Tembien Lebas would be lucky on this one.
