You are mistaken, a new rebel group called mahiberawi fitihi claimed the attack. I was watching a video on Facebook, they are based in Asgede Tsimbla and they are against the new PM giving badme to the Eritreans.Man it’s them Tplf bastards, hope he rounds them up. May God keep our pm safe
Ethiopia must quickly eradicate the new rebel group before it's too late.
They are getting support from the locals already in the towns of Zalambessa , Adigrat , Asigede Tsimbela and Alamata according to an article I was reading.
Abiy Ahmed is trying to reduce the power and influence of the TPLF, Ethiopia will hold a parliamentry election and he is currently funding two parties who are likely to gain huge supportersHow is he going to 'round up' the people that pay him

Abiy is playing 3D Chess while the Tigrays have been reduced to a low state and formed a rebel group in their region.
Ethiopia could crush the newly formed rebels easily but one of my friends from Ethiopia told me earlier today, Abiy will try to negotiate with the Tigrays.
Abiy is an intellectual, don't underestimate him he doesn't need an army to destroy oppositions.

The tplf are no long in power. Do you live under a rock? Haven’t you seen the changes that took place every since he took office
A nonelected Oromo PM by a single party committee of Tigrays is the 'Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front'. His a dog on a leash with more space than the previous dog
it's true he was elected by a single party of Tigrays but he is trying to reduce their influence in which he is succeeding right now.
Tigray politcian powerhouses like Abel Yonas , Selim Negasi and Daniel Genet who had influence in Ethiopia were dismissed by Abiy yesterday.
Ephrem Jemal who is a famous tycoon tigray businessman said in an interview few days ago that TPLF are losing influence in Ethiopia and Abiy Ahmed is shaping the party to his favor.
Abiy is gaining support from the minority ethnics. He is clearly playing chess while the tigrays are playing checkers.
Abiy is far from a stooge.
don't the tigray control the army and if so how can he marginalize thm,,do you think they will give up that easy knowing they cornered and almost every otha ethnic group targeting thmm..looks messy.
It's messy indeed, the tigrays messed up big time.
They don't control the Army anymore, Abiy sacked most of their high ranking officials and replaced them with Tigray stooges.
Abiy already showed his superiority towards the Tigrays by signing Badme to the Eritreans, It's also beneficial for him because Eritreans is willing to start talk with his government.
If this trend continues Tigray will be reduced to dust, their only option left will be to start talks with Abiy's government.
Tigrays will have equal rights to Oromo in the near future.
thnx buddy but this is what I don't understand, how they all of a sudden lose,the tigrays were entrenched and had all the power.what am sensing is tigrays r split among thmslvs or is it just too hot for thm to run the govt right now and looking for a way out.
Why do ppl always blow themselves up when they disagree with things? just do what trump did and run for presidency and undo all the things the pm has done.
It is too early to tell who did it but many Ethiopians put the blame on TPLF because its officials have been removed from federal offices by PM Abiy Ahmed and it has almost lost any power and control over the country. PM Abiy Ahmed released all political prisoners and called the government a terrorist for torturing citizens. He is now so popular that today 4 to 5 million people in Addis Ababa (according to police estimate) showed up to support him, that is never happened in Ethiopian history. Other rallies also held in many cities. Ethiopians from all of walk of life and from majority ethnic groups simply love PM Abiy and he gained all this support in less than 3 months in office.
However, his message of love, forgiveness, unity and his policies policies of bringing justice to the people and making the people free (no one has now any fear in Ethiopia to express his mind), to release prisoners and to unblock all oppositions diaspora medias and the announcement to hand over Badme to Eritrea made many in the TPLF camp very very angry. Two days ago there was a demonstration in Mekele, Tigray and some of the slogans were directly against what PM Abiy Ahmed said days back.
TPLF itself is split about the current reforms. The official TPLF leadership seem to work with PM Abiy and seem to be against the old TPLF criminals but there are still the Meles era old guard TPLF group that hates this reforms to death. So, most probably these group who were working in the security and police did this terrorist act. The Government acted swiftly and arrested the Addis Ababa police commissioner and his depute and 4 others in police department. The old guard, Meles era TPLF groups who are completely losing their power to the Oromo-Amhara alliance in the EPRDF coalition may attempt to do such things again but the very fact they are resorting to terrorist activities shows how much power they lost in the government to change the course of path.
Ethiopia is heading to become a fully democratic very very soon and all Ethiopians stand united as one man behind the new PM supporting his effort. TPLF as we know it is done and its power is almost reduced to Tigray region only. Its power to using the federal government and the parliament to force its ways is over. Now the Amhara-Oromo alliance is in control of both the government and the majority parliament seat and the half Oromo/half Amhara prime minister is very popular allover Ethiopia even in Eritrea, except may be Tigray. The unity and patriotism displayed in these rallies is simply amazing. So many different ethnic groups coming together and uniting as Ethiopians supporting the transition to democracy! Historical! The people were not only supporting the PM but also sending a clear message to the old criminal TPLF not to even try to stop these reforms.
Watch this!

Acknowledge me as a Somali queen and a package will be on its way to finish off the job ASAP.
am trying to write a paper about this but have a question,need to be responded in depth if possible.
the tigrays were entrenched ,very powerful and controlled all aspect of life including the army. they also the ones brought this prime minister,my question then is:
how on earth they lost all that power in few months and how was Abiy solidified has power so quickly..its really amazing! thnx.
The commenters here are laughable. Even Somalis in Jigjiga are holding a huge rally for Abiye Ahmed as a show of support, he's much loved across the country though some Tigrays may dislike their power being diminished or even outright stripped.
Also, I've been to that square in Addis Ababa, the grenade was aimed at the crowd, very far from the podium with the prime minister and his guards

This is something brain dead Somalis still don’t understand
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
This is a bit complex process that started at the day the late PM Meles died. I will try to explain the process as I see it. To really understand the current changes one has to first understand how the ruling coalition is composed of and how the different regional and federal institutions work. The ruling coalition EPRDF that is ruling the country for the last 27 years and is composed of 4 main parties (Tigrean TPLF, Amhara ANDM, Oromo OPDO and southern people (56 ethnic groups) SEPDM). The executive branch of EPRDF is composed of 36 members equally divided between the 4 parties. The main regional states Tigray, Amhara, Oromo and Southern kilil are all ruled directly by the respective parties. But in the parliament the seats are allocated not equally but based on population. So OPDO has the biggest number followed by ANDM, SEPDM and TPLF in this order.
The military is composed of mainly Amhara and Oromo and also southern soldiers up to colonel level. Only the majority generals are Tigreans. Everything below that Tigreans are minority. The federal ministries are also composed of these 4 parties and ethnic groups.
For all these to function, there is a constitution that looks really good on paper. Now the regions also have their own militias that get orders directly from the regional government. Even if there is written rules and regulations how all this should work, Meles Zenawi coming from a rebel leadership completely dominated and controlled every aspect of power whether it is inside TPLF or EPRDF. He could order any regional president and do whatever he wants because the federal securities were all under him. He had all the power from every regional and federal institutions and also party cadres. All power was concentrated in one man.
After his death, every institution like the Military, Security and most importantly every state/kilil had no one above them. There was no central authority anymore and every region/state started to assert its power. During this vacuum the Oromo protest started and soon joined by the Amhara putting both the leadership of OPDO and ANDM under huge pressure. The regions simply became ungovernable and the security forces reacted with massive force which in turn angered the EPRDF member parties. Especially OPDO and ANDM were sandwiched between the pressure of their own people and TPLF. Many times they were forced to side with the people and reject central authorities. The more TPLF and the old guard started to use force the more Tigreans became a target, especially in Amhara region. First time in Ethiopian history, Tigreans were deported from Amhara region in thousands.
The attack against Tigreans and the blame towards them from majority of Ethiopians, the refusal of the other parties specially OPDO and ANDM to follow TPLF orders has put TPLF in a very difficult position. Moderates in the TPLF who saw that the conflict is becoming a civil war and that Tigreans at end of the day will lose big time, started to evaluate all the mess and replaced the old hardliner leadership with the new and moderate ones.
With the new TPLF leadership, the other parties, particularly OPDO and ANDM got a partner to deal with and they discussed and evaluated everything and forced EPRDF to become a really equal organization. This ended the Slave-Master relationship and how the election of PM Abiy from OPDO was conducted showed this reality. All four parties presented their candidates but at the last hour the Amhara party ANDM working closely with the Oromo OPDO pulled out its candidate and fully supported the OPDO candidate, Abiy Ahmed. They did this because already before the election Abiy Ahmed and the Oromia President Lemma Megersa became very popular among Ethiopians for urging reforms, very friendly ties with Amahras and their positive and all inclusive vision for Ethiopia. They both are very nationalist Ethiopians.
OPDO and ANDM combined and some southerners elected Abiy Ahmed without TPLF vote. This is the first time EPRDF election became democratic. From now on, EPRDF and the parliament become democratic with opposing votes which we never witnessed. But the moment EPRDF and the parliament become democratic, the coalition between ANDM and OPDO become also very powerful since both have the overwhelming majority in parliament.
Backed by the two parties and with the public support from the two majority ethnic groups, PM Abiy has become a real PM not a puppet of TPLF like Hailemariam Dessalegn. After becoming PM, Abiy started to remove the old TPLF hardlinerss from federal institutions like the army, security etc. But he did it with much respect and without any revenge and with their pensions and properties protected.
The new moderate TPLF leadership has accepted their fate that only a democratic Ethiopia and a soft landing for Tigreans is the best option. So they are cooperating with PM Abiy. But the old criminal TPLF gang is still trying to come back to power by any means possible and the terrorist attack was one of their attempt. They know if a grande killed people, Ethiopians will blame TPLF for this terrorist act. And in fact Ethiopians instantly blamed TPLF for the bombings but what the hardliner TPLF hopping for was that Addis Ababans to be angry and go out and start ethnic based attacks on Tigreans, damaging tigrean properties and may be even killing some. This would have given the hardliner the opportunity to label all the reforms as anti-Tigrean, to label the moderate TPLF leadership as weak and remove it and then try to control EPRDF again. But the millions of Ethiopians in Addis Ababa never touched or harmed a single Tigrean even if they chanted and blamed the bombing on TPLF. No violence reported, not even a single Tigrean was harmed. The plan of the hardliners collapsed and in fact the federal police is now hunting their foot soldiers in the police and security apparatus. Today FBI from the US announced, it will send a team to investing the incident. It is clear for me the old guard TPLF will be labeled a terrorist cell with possible individual sanctions from the US and a complete crack down from the federal institutions. They simply shoot themselves in the foot.
Ethiopia has a very bright and democratic future! The freedom, the love, cooperation and happiness in Ethiopia today is unbelievable. People are becoming good patriotic citizens overnight, avoiding black markets, paying proper taxes etc. just to support the new government and the economy of the country. The diaspora has removed the hard currency blockade,, rebel groups like Ginbot 7 abandoning armed struggle. It is just unlivable what is happening in Ethiopia today. May God bless Ethiopia!
