Civil war enters second year in Ethiopia

[AbdiGeedi]

No one wants Amhara feudalism

The real problem Amharas have is that they are not the majority and could never rule on their own without some sort of repressions of others. But times have changed. Amharas or Tigrayans can no longer do evil as before in the digital age. It is funny how Amharas thought they could trick Oromos with their Abiy chimera. It sucks that DDS Somalis are still being played by Habashis though.

Egyptian subreddit is celebrating.

"Wish Ethiopia the best and a bright future". You couldn't sound more disingenuous if you tried.

Look at their pitiful analysis.

We appreciate you kulaha. Have these niggas not been reading the news?

They think the dam has caused the population to resent each other and it's why Abiy is refusing dam negotiations. Everything that happens in Ethiopia relates back to the dam for them. If they're this ignorant on what's happening in Ethiopia, it's no wonder Egypt allowed the dam to be built and is suddenly panicking now that it's actually filling. These niggas don't know geopolitics.

I doubt the West will let Ethiopia collapse, they want to contain all the Ethnic and Religious tensions in East Africa within Ethiopia and have no interest in it Balkanizing or entering a civil war.

If it gets too bad they will intervene.

They are right on one thing though. If Egypt wants to blow up the dam, now is the best time. There won't be another Trump any time soon.

Trump wants to go out in flames and will probably enjoy some fireworks on the Nile to spite Biden and the left.

This is an Amhara written summary on who has been killing who in recent months. Over the last few months, I've only been seeing headlines mentioning where people were being killed so this is interesting.

Ethiopia Has Reached a Tipping Point

Long before the breakout of civil war in Tigray, Ethiopians had grown weary of violence and strife.

www.vice.com

These massacres emerged as an increasingly frequent phenomenon in Ethiopia long before Ethiopian troops marched on Tigray last week. The Amhara, the country’s second-largest ethnic group, whose members make up about a fifth of Ethiopia’s 110 million people, reside across the country and often bear the brunt of such attacks. As many as 140 people were killed in the country’s eastern Benishangul-Gumuz region in September when an armed militia went on a rampage that largely targeted the area’s ethnic Amhara residents. In October, 31 people were killed during similar violence in Southern Ethiopia. In late October, at least 27 ethnic Somali civilians were massacred by yet-to-be identified militants from the neighboring Afar region. On Sunday, another 54 ethnic Amhara civilians were gunned down after militants herded helpless victims to a school compound in the west of the country.

State forces aren’t suspected of direct participation in these mass killings, and while perpetrators are rarely identified, the government typically blames Oromo Liberation Army militants. Regardless, the army’s inability to prevent these killings and the breakdown in order has left citizens dismayed.

“Ethiopians are losing hope in their government,” said Befekadu Hailu, the executive director of Ethiopian rights watchdog, Card Ethiopia. “It is leading to increasing calls for civilians to set up self defense mechanisms and is fostering division.”

At a press conference held after September’s massacre of 140 people, Major General Mohammed Tessemma, the Ethiopian army’s personal relations officer, said that order had been restored, and that “bandits” and disgruntled former security officers were behind the attack.
But a resident of the area who survived the onslaught, told VICE News that it took the army days to intervene. “The attackers had knives and guns, they killed everyone they saw and took money and belongings from their bodies afterwards,” said Aklilu, an ethnic Amhara resident who fled the area and asked to be referred to by his first name due to safety concerns. “Nobody stopped them.”

“The army has a base nearby. But there were kidnappings and shootings for at least three days before they arrived.” Aklilu added. “They don’t value our lives.”

Aklilu was referring to a military command post that was set up in May near the scene of the massacre after the region was identified as particularly vulnerable to ethnic flare ups and violence. The fact that military intervention reportedly arrived days late, despite a nearby military post in the area, raised questions and led to accusations of army sympathy for the assailants. Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen called on residents in areas of the Benishangul Gumuz region to arm themselves last week, in what doubled as a stinging indictment of the country’s security institutions.

The Deputy PM is Amxaaro, in case it wasn't obvious. What this tells us is that the Amxaaro vs Tigray conflict is only one of several fronts for the Amxaaro. With more Amxaaro civilians taking up arms and forming militias, an ethnic war between Amxaaro and Oromos seems inevitable.

Beneath the veneer of Abiy Ahmed's showmanship lies a man of entrenched political vulnerabilities whose fortunes have fallen so fast.

Amhara ethnic cleansing Tigray in the 70s.History repeats itself.

The EU is irrelevant as it is not a military bloc and doesn't have unified political stance on the world issues. For example Italy opposes France in the East Mediterranean disputes allowing Turkey to freely maneuver against the EU.

I saw the Tigray region going the SL route back in July.

Tigray Region is Ethiopia's Somaliland now

Tigray is de facto not under the control of the Federal Government of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy, can't even visit Tigray. The Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has announced to hold elections despite the Federal Government's warning not to do so. The TPLF accused the...
