Preemptive strike by Abiy against the TPLF?

Is that his wife by his side? Is she Habashi or Oromo?

Now that he defeated and jailed the likes of Jawar, the next target is clear: TPLF This seems the last warning for TPLF that if it crosses the red line, it will be facing both Ethiopian and Eritrean armies the same time. That is at least what I understand it as a non-expert and I am pretty sure TPLF will also see it this way.
And yes, she is his wife, an Amhara woman from Gondar.

 

[AbdiGeedi]

I wouldn't be so sure about the Eritrean zeal to cheer for Abiy.

Since Abiy's mother was Amhara, I am not surprised he chose an Amhara for his wife. Seeing how negatively Oromos view him know, I think it is safe to assume that he is more Habashi in the eyes of Oromos.

Good news. Somaliland ought to train Oromo fighters in cooperation with Egypt. Even Somalia should join in.

A military operation against tigray would very costly and most likely would fail in the long term; tigrayans are stubborn brave fighters and would not submit.

Those Oromo fighters will end up beheading the landers eventually. There is a whole horde of them out there. Think about it.

And Egyptians are not fighters, but underhand dealers. I would never bank on them.

Yes, he has lost a significant number of Oromo support but still also has a significant number of Oromos who stand by him. Otherwise it will be impossible for him to bring Oromia under control in few days. Many Oromos, especially from Showa who are not extremists like we see in the diaspora and who have common religion with habeshas still stand by him including the showan Oromo singer Haccalu who was assassinated and also his family. Currently the showa Oromos seem to be his backbone in Oromia.

I think the shit might blow up into a full blown war since Tigray has a potent army.

So, Oromos are split along the religious lines? Christians support Abiy and Muslims are against him?

You guys must be indeed on a kamikaze mission of self destruction. Now you want to start insurgency against Ethiopia? Do you guys release what Ethiopia needs to send its army to SL? A single letter from Farmaajo asking Ethiopia to intervene since SL is still part of Somalia. The next day Ethiopia army is in Berbara. The SL I knew were very reasonable and objective people. Where does this delusion comes from these days? A delusion to intimidate and bully Ethiopia. Are you guys on drug? Or do you see this as the fastest path for integration with Somalia without losing face?

 

[AbdiGeedi]

Knowing how unprincipled the Arabs are, I would not be surprised if the Egyptians are hard at work trying to take an advantage of the social unrest in Ethiopia in order to split the country into multiple smaller states.

It seems for now especially orthodox christian Showans are his backbone. Without some oromo support in the OPDO and Oromia region, Abiy can never control the oromo uprising in less than 3 days without any hope of igniting it in the near future.

BS. Christian and Muslim oromos are both being killed and oppressed by abiy's army; if abiy was so confident in his support in oromia, he would not have delayed the elections, he would let the people speak through the ballots. his support base is the mostly urban, amhara nationalists.
he relies on them and the military to maintain power; basically like the tplf but with a different support base.

If we wanted to rejoin we would've held a referendum. But my intention was that it would be covert, why would Somaliland do it openly? Even better to just have the Egyptians do it. The military base is a precaution, not a provocation. Things are about to get chaotic. But anyhow your military is split along ethnic lines, so I don't think you can even call it an Ethiopian military. Somalia should be on board but their incompetence is on show again

That isn't unprincipled, just opportunistic. With unity they might actually stand a chance, without it well they have American backing already given that their military is funded by them. Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Uganda among other countries will all be badly affected by it. Most Arab nations also support Egypt, and their military isn't unified. They have an advantage with the base but it'll be entertaining to see how things unfold, an important question is if Erdogan is willing to involve himself in yet another conflict.

Are you saying he has no support in OPDO and Oromia state apparatus? Oromia police in cooperation with the federal police are the once who are putting the oromo uprising under control. How can the army alone control every city and town? Denying that he still has some segment of Oromo support is simply not true. Honestly, the hooligan qeerrroos also showed all Ethiopians they really don't have any political demand other than envy, destruction and vandalism, nothing zero nada. Many ordinary oromos are ashamed of them.

 

[AbdiGeedi]

From you replies, guys, I am sensing some shit is about to explode in Ethiopia.

I wonder what is the perception of Amharas among Tigrayans. Do Tigrayans view Amharas as the traitors of the glorious Habashi Ethiopia of old days?

OPDO and the oromo people are two different things. It's Africa, whoever cuts the checks of the local security forces is who they're going to be loyal to, for the most part.
That was the case under TPLF for over 2 decades though, so that's not proving your point, oromia police and the army/federal were killing and jailing oromos back then too.
The support he has in oromia is small compared to the rising opposition, which he himself is fueling when he targeted oromo opposition, and even journalists like betty.
oh yeah? did you say the same about the amhara gangs targeting oromos in addis ababa? or the fact they too targeted oromo businesses? oh i forgot, only oromos can have ''bad apples,'' you see how hypocritical many of you habeshas are?!
