AMHARA | Can Ethiopia Survive?

[@JamesKerLindsay]

There's recently been another surge of fighting in Amhara, the second largest of Ethiopia's regions. However, while many may see this as just another of Ethiopia's conflicts, it has the potential to be far more serious. Indeed, it even raises questions about the future of the country. But what do you think? Is this a fundamental threat to Ethiopia? Or is this just another crisis that will eventually pass? And who do you think is in the right - or wrong - here? Have the Amhara been badly treated? Or is this payback for their centuries of dominance? As always, I look forward to your thoughts and comments. (By the way, I'm afraid this one is a particularly tricky situation to follow! Seriously, I'm putting this up there with Bosnia and Lebanon. I did my best!)

[@gashawdandi2460]

​@@JamesKerLindsay I don't think that the Amhara felt betrayed by the Federal Government due to peace agreement with TPLF. This feeling may be on some poor elites from abroad. But I guess Fano's movement is triggered most by killings and cleansings of the Amhara in Oromo and other regions. Government was in a position to control the situation but chose to disarm the militias including the peasants. That clashed as the Amhara have a history of owning a rifle from long ago. In fact there is a power struggle between the Oromos and Amharas as the Amharas are currently complaining of being discriminated systematically from Economic, Social and Technological affairs Yes, there is a looming risk of Ethnic clashes which can only be triggered by elites from politicians, activists and scholars. The people have intermaried, lived together for centuries with little quarrel.

[@Tribuneoftheplebs]

As a Tigrayan/Tegaru I think that every ethnic group in Ethiopia has had their moment of persecution so its only fair the Amhara get what they gave. No sympathy and I'm with Abiy on this one.

​@@JamesKerLindsay The Amhara Fano as they call themselves, are basically rebels without a cause...for one they are so disjointed that each group eg. Gojame fights Gonder, and Wello fights N. Shewa and visa versa, they have skirmishes with militia forces sent by the Amara administrative region that in most cases has been part and parcel of the rebels using the young to make their own political gain... Their precursor complaint was the killings in Wellega of Amara's pushed and instigated by disgruntled Diaspora's elements who felt ignored by PM Abiye, they started funding these groups here and there turning them into highway robbers, who have been terrorizing citizen's into submission through fear...schools have been none functional, same with rural health clinics causing miscarriages and even death of expecting mothers...Elders sent to find out their needs are held hostage and money is demanded. These hooligans are not about any serious political agenda or change. They have frustrated the people in general even parents or family members who would hide these so called fighters, but lately that has changed since they have become total highway robbers, and are also being corrupted by foreign forces...The government has tried to negotiate with the almost 8-,10 different groups but since they do not have a clear agenda or cause they keep pointing fingers on one the other, some of the leaders have surrender to the Military out of fear of being killed. The Shene which is the Oromo group has been decimated by the Military force and a two time effort to come to some kind of an agreement has failed with the government they also are blaming each other for the failures that they have encountered and are slowly but surely loosing badly.... So to your question Ethiopia is going through some clean up of old left overs, but forward looking to a greater future...No we will over come as One Ethiopia.

Thank you, Professor James K. Let me first ask you to rectify that Amhara is the largest Ethnic group in Ethiopia. Even in the socalled Oromia (which is the ancient Amhara land, i.e., before the Oromo Migration the land was inhabited by Amharas and other ethnic groups). I can say that your report is the first in its kind that sheds a light about the Amharas resentment & suffering for many decades. I think you very well understood that there is no Ethiopia without Amharas. It is the indigenous Amharas who established, defended, and developed Ethiopia (to be PC with other Ethnic groups). Despite the shocking Human Rights Violations, Amharas still want the unity and territorial integrity of Ethiopia but they will not compromise their well-being and security hereafter. Thank you very much again for this very educational report.

[@GAANFUREE]

@@KefaleAlemu There was no a tribe called Amhara. A few barbarian people came from Yemen and settled in Ethiopia. At first Amhara was ideology that amarized Oromo and Agewu through a process of Amarization. The so called Amhara claims all histories of Oromo and Agewu belongs to them.

[@MissyTUV]

professor, here is an example of the history denying and hate filled rhetoric faced by the Amhara. This belief of “no such thing as Amhara” and “invaders from Yemen” is unfortunately held by the leaderships of Ethiopia, who have all slowly been replaced by an Oromo. We have heard Abye and others repeat versions of this many times. The Amhara and all freedom loving Ethiopians have no option but to keep struggling.

The main reason for this ongoing Amhara vs federal government conflict is not the PRETORIA peace agreement, But the ongoing Amhara ethnic cleaning in Oromia region of the country and less efforts taken to stop it from the federal government. Badly the federal government started to disarm the Amhara militias while no guarantees to keep the Amhara people safe in the country. Mass displacements all over the country including the capital city AA, blocking roads from the Amhara region to Addis Ababa and mass arrests of the Amhara elites and youth was the most triggering issues for this war.

The Amhara people has been under constant persecution for the last 50 years. They are discriminated, murdered en mass and detained in concentration camps in large number just because of they are Amharas. Tplf introduced ethnic based politics in order to divide and conquer, by mainly excluding the Amharas and blaming them for all historical ills the country went through. The Amharas highly participated in the struggle to oust the Tplf apartheid regime, but what came after TPLF has become one of the worst regime the world has ever seen. The ruling regime has made the Amharas identify the cause to persecute and murder the people for no apparent reason. The Amharas are now not allowed even to travel to the capital city. Numerous times the people peacefully demonstrated to demand that they right be respected like all other ethnic groups. However, the government chose to send its huge military to the region to silence the opposition which triggered the current Amhara resistance. It is highly possible that the country could descend to a more protracted civil war the outcome of which could be a catastrophic disintegration. The international community seems to have paid a deaf ears to the plight of Amhara people. The regime is bombing civilians and and destroying the meager infrastructure the region has. From sticks targeting schools and religious institutions is a frequent occurrence. The Amhara people have no option but to keep fighting to have their rights and dignity be respected like all others. If the government keeps its mercilessly genocidal war, eventually the country could collapse unless Fano gets the upper hand in the war and manage to stabilize the country

[@TheTiggITReport]

My opinion is that your report omitted to many important points in the name of simplicity. Points ignored were; 1. Ethiopia has strategic importance to world powers who never wish to see a strong united country. 2. Ethnic Federalism was designed and implemented by the western backed TPLF to achieve the disintegration of Ethiopia as one country back in 1995. 3. The Amhara were the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia in 1991 when TPLF took power and there numbers have dwindled at an alarming rate since. Some see this as a hidden genocide as although the EU produced a report on the issue it was not widely published and some say blocked by those supporting the TPLF in its efforts to reduce Amhara influence. 4. The ethnic cleansing of Amhara living in Oromia and other federal areas increasingly in recent years with little to no government action taken to protect those people. 5. There are many armed groups but the government's attention is only on the Amhara? Possibly due to the fact that the Amhara are nationalists and identify as "Ethiopian" makes them the biggest threat to a country mired by civil conflict driven by Ethnic Federalism. In summary: your report, while interesting, lacks so much detail that it lends itself to anti-Amhara propaganda, to which, if that was your intention, I can only praise your effort. As to the subject, a civil conflict is sadly inevitable in my opinion at this point and we will only know the outcome when the smoke clears.

[@sophiemicheal5059]

We can definitely blame the TPLF for this. For the past 28 years, they’ve divided Ethiopia along ethnic lines, and now the country is dangerously fractured. Instead of unity, there’s an overwhelming focus on ethnicity, which is tearing Ethiopia apart. On top of that, they are pushing for conflicts with Somalia, Eritrea, and other African nations, which could further destabilize the region and destroy Ethiopia from within. Millions of people have already died, especially during the TPLF war-2 million lost their lives-and even now, Amhara and Oromo people are dying every day. With ethnic tensions rising, this could turn into another tragedy like Rwanda. The path they are on is incredibly dangerous. Thank you for shedding light on this issue, and I really appreciate your program.

No, we Amhara need Ethiopia to disintegrate or respect us as a human. Amhara contributes more than 50 percent of the countries wealth, but never get anything back. We are tired. We get stopped everywhere we go and get beaten up taken for ransome and end up killed. We can't continue this way. Amharas established the capital city Addis Ababa, but are being chased out. It is very sad. Barbaric Abiy Ahmed is very dangerous.

[@Getaneh188]

​@@JamesKerLindsay sir thank you for speaking about this given the fact that it is a hiden and silent genocide. However, you missed quita few important informations. As per " western Tigray", it has never been part of Tigray province in history. It was inhabited by Amharas before 1993. When TPLF came to power, it displaced native Amharas and inhabited TPLF fighters. Some Amharas immigrated to USA, England and some other countries. Some Amharas protested TPLF's move but got all killed. Since then there has always been an Amhara movement to bring back the land. If you read history books that was written by explorers or Ethiopians, the border between Amhara and Tigray is the river Tekeze( an Amharic word for sad). When the river gets flooded Amhara and Tigray people couldn't meet. So they named the river sad( Tekeze). The second issue, Ahmaras were not aware about narcissist Abiy Ahmed's goal. When he first came to power, he promised to bring democracy and we supported him. But as time goes on his true colors started to apear. He is an evil heartless killer. As soon as he came to the throne, Oromo extremists started the genocide. We protested for 3 years but he covered it up all. News coverage is not allowed about the killing. We only see the mass grave by the killers. We witnessed baby's head chopped off. That how the war started in Amhara. Now drones buzzing day and high all over Amhara. Schools, churches, etch are being destroyed by Turkish, Chinese, and Iranian drone. Internet has been cut off since the war. No news coverage is allowed. We are in the stone age.

Hey James, on Ethiopia's demographics and politics. Over 30 million Amhara people reside in traditionally Oromo areas, with around 20 million Amhara integrating into Oromo communities. However, these numbers are disputed. Despite ethnic tensions, Ethiopia's stability isn't solely dependent on Amhara-Oromo dynamics. I believe Ethiopia needs a new leader who prioritizes equality and unity among all ethnic groups. Abiy Ahmed's leadership has been divisive, and his pursuit of power has raised concerns. I think Ethiopia deserves a leader who promotes inclusivity and addresses the needs of all citizens. Abiy Ahmed's divisive leadership won't last. Time for a change!
