I am Eritrean born in Addis. But for me Amhara is the most respectful loving and generous people and the meaning of Ethiopian. I have never come across Amhara people saying or showing another flag they will tell you proudly I am Ethiopian with one flag. Massive respect for Amhara.
The true identity of Amhara people. Let it start with the name Amhara. The correct way to write the name is Amhara (አምሐራ) not Amara ( አማራ) this is done and thought by enemies of Amhara who are genocidal organizations within and outside of Amhara who want them to extinct. If you ask why? Satan know they are the remnant of the biblical Hebrew people who are mixed with Saba or Makeda's people. Saba was mentioned both in the Tanakh and Gospels. In which Messiach ( መሲሕ ) mentioned her by the title Queen of Sheba ( ንግስተ ዓዜብ ወይም የደቡብ ንግስት) ። The Amhara are the only true Saba-Hebrew people and the language itself testify to this cause since it is very similar to the ancient Hebrew language. This people are legitimate heirs of the land of Sheba which is the area of modern-day Eritrea to Somalia. If anyone claim Amhara (አምሐራ) being Ge'ez it is simply false. Ge'ez was fabricated in order to destroy Amhara people somewhere in the time of Yodit Gudit. Ge'ez was composed of Egyptian Arabic which itself has Greeko-Roman influence in it, Ancient Amharic, and a few local dialects to mention a few. Therefore, it does not qualify to be a root language. The root language to Amharic is the language of Adam and Eve which is similar to the language of our Father Abreham and our mother Sara. Axum was re-named after Amhara lost war with Yodit Gudit and Yodit and her team did burn all Amharic Bible and History books and started fabricating Ge'ez books. They produced fake evidence for 410 years by carving message on the stones so that, the future generations would think their fake books of Ge'ez full of fairy tales to be credible source. Sure, except that of the true bible with wrong translation that is again full of errors. I am 100% sure that Ge'ez is fabricated by enemies of Amhara. Before Ge'ez, was the good old Amharic which still exist. At the same time, Yodit and her team massacred most of the Amhara adults who were educated. Hoping that the Amhara would face identity crisis and might be lost as a people who doesn't know their origin. After about 40 years of hard work to destroy Amhara and their origin, they passed over to the Zagwe dynasty for another 370 years. A hireling with identity crisis, to start with they say Ge'ez is our language but the truth is Ge'ez never existed until the time of Yodit Gudit. The word Axum itself has Greeko-Roman origin. So, before that the Amhara called it with another name while the Greek have their own name for the known world that differ from the local names. So it does not mean if you find Axum written in their literature the local would call it with the same name. Therefore, the Saba-Hebrew Amhara never called it with Greek name. The Amhara did survived the Greeko-Roman influence and kept their Saba-Hebrew heritage. ... It is Amhara (አምሐራ). The name Amhara ( አምሐራ) is again an ancient Hebrew which is Amharic. In modern Hebrew the name is written as AMHARETZ (አምሐረትስ). On the other hand, the name Amara has Greco-Roman origin then Adapted by Arabs, Italians, Turks, Spanish, and West Africa. It has nothing to do with the origin of Amhara people. Infact, it does obliterate our Saba-Hebrew ancestry. You might Argue, well both Amara and Amhara are correct and simply the 'h' sound is silent . Additionally, Amare or Amarech in Amharic language means beautiful, gorgeous, lovely, and pleasant. You see we have Wub (ውብ) and others too. So, we can start and finish a sentence without using Amare or Amarech. However, this exactly my point of concern, " identity crisis ". Amara is not even Arabic its origin is Greco-Roman as explained earlier. For instance, Islamic Arab Empires give the name "Amara" to their colonies. This is found online, "Amarah (العمارة Al-'Amāra), also spelled Amara, is a lur city in south-eastern Iraq, ... The city was founded in the 1860s as an Ottoman military outpost ...". But, Amhara has a minimum of 3000 years history, not Amara. Therefore, this is the result of first, Greco-Roman influence on the Arab world then on to our people. In conclusion, "Amara" name was given by our enemies to eradicate our Saba-Hebrew origin. The correct meaning of the name Amhara is to say, the people of the one who made heaven and earth and everything in it (ሰማይና መሬትን በውስጣቸውም ያሉትን የሰራው የእርሱ ህዝብ ማለት ነው)." You see only then the meaning would mean also free people, etc ... Indeed the Amhara are the only Saba-Hebrew people.
