he dismissed the elite senior military and intelligence agency heads, it's a quick dismissal that caught them off guard. the central bank has been handed over to a new governer, the cabinet was reshuffled as you probably know where some were removed and some new minority ministers were appointed (noticeably) some southerners). So he's got the Amharas and Oromos support by giving them exactly what they demanded during the protests and he's even assembled the souherners to his side by giving much more representation in the cabinet. Notice how after the Sidamos protested so they could receive their own region separate from the southern peoples federal state, he went down there immediately to calm tensions?
Now he's charmed his way into the hearts of his people with all this change & progress, the regional neighbors even across the Red Sea and up the Nile, and somehow the rebels and opposition groups who are sworn enemies of the old TPLF ways are warming up to him fast! And to top it off, he's smoothing things over with the Eritreans.
Yes, the TPLF have had the country in its grip since decades ago but! he now he has the Amhara, Oromo, and Southerners parties in the coalition party behind him. Also, most soldiers in the military are either Oromos or Amharas, only the former elite were Tigray generals of which many were dismissed
thank you quite an insight,,,,
