Ethiopians are cowards

[Step a side]

Wallahi the only thing these dysgenic raw meat munching freaks know how to do in battle is throw themselves at the opposing army in human waves. No tactics, no strategy, these bums just rely on having superior numbers of peasant fodder to throw at the enemy.
During the medieval period Ethiopian armies were formed through forced conscriptions of Ethiopian serfs which allowed the Ethiopian Emperors to throw hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian peasants at their Muslim neighbors like a zombie horde

During the Ogaden war the Derg regime conscripted a bunch of peasants and used them as cannon fodder in human wave assaults against Somalis and Eritreans. The Ethiopian dictator Mengistu even once said that the role of Ethiopian soldiers was to exhaust Somali ammunition while Cuban Soldiers did the real fighting.

The TPLF was no different in this regard as they used mostly non Tigrayan Amhara and Oromo Ethiopian soldiers as disposable cannon fodder in human wave attacks and to clear minefields

The current Ethiopian government also uses its time honored Human Wave tactics especially during the recent Tigray war where thousands of Amhara civilian with rusty firearms were force to rush TPLF soldiers.

Another thing I gleamed from my preliminary forays into Ethiopian history is that the Emperors, Army and nobility xooged the peasants hard in nearly every way possibly and many times they literally xooged them as well.
Many soldiers need to pillage in order to eat as Ethiopian soldiers also didn’t get any food or money (especially since Ethiopians didn’t have currency until the 20th century) thus making these conscripts borderline ***** soldiers. In order to survive these soldiers looted native Ethiopian farmers.

European travelers mention how these soldiers would even **** young peasant women after robbing their homes

Due to these constant raids upon the the poor Ethiopian peasants by these bands of armed criminals mascrading as an army local governors were unable to probably collect taxes. Thus negatively affecting both the nobility, outside of the royals, and the peasantry.

These raids were so bad that the Ethiopian Nobility welcomed Imam Ahmad and the peasantry viewed him as a liberator. This was recorded by Cristavao De Gama’s men.

If war happens I expect Oromo's to use Amhara and Tigray especially Tigray as cannon fodder. Oromos would probably view this as revenge to what Tigray did to Oromos in the Ethiopian/Eritrean war of 1998.
