Oromos have lucked out with Abiy, although it was inevitable Oromos would eventually dominate Addis politics due to the population and presence in the capital and trade points of Ethiopia
@Abba Sadacha is this true? What’s your point of view on ending ethnic regional forces? Your the resident Oromo affairs expert
Those bastards will probably use this as an opportunity to consolidate the border areas

That twitter account, I believe, is ran by an Amhara ultra-nationalist. ENDF ain't just Oromo, but surely the top ranking positions are, but the foot soldiers are largely Amhara and Oromo, and then other ethnic groups.
As far as the regional forces being disbanded and integrated into ENDF/federal police, it's just a way for the PM Abiy government to ensure they have control over all legally sanctioned armed forces. Otherwise, they fear the regional forces would be liable to be more loyal to their people in the regions, than to the federal govt, among other reasons/things, such as avoiding another tplf-tigray situation in which their regional forces were large enough to rival the army of the country.
Not to mention that, the regional forces could be potential rebels and start a rebellion, so this move will put them under loyal generals of his.
Basically, it boils down to PM Abiy wanting to secure his power, and this is a way to control all the forces of the country. PM Abiy's seat was recently threatened by some Amhara groups, both abroad and in the country, simply because they think only their ethnic group can rule, while others are to be ruled over, so of course, whether we like it or not, any government when threatened is going to fight back.
He learned from his master Melez all this tactics.
Is shimelis Abdisa supported by most oromos or only Christian oromos? And is your religious split based along clan lines ? Trying to understand if this Oromo threat is real or if y’all splintered like rest of us

Inshallah!
Is this true? I haven't heard about this as an ogaden. My father is from Godey and is quite engaged with politics, so I'm sure I would have heard about it.
Are you abdale ?
Nope a proud Talomoge. Why does my subclan matter?
