Melez even as messed up as he was did alot of good for ethiopia, he comes from a minority group called tigray and he recognized that ethiopia had to make ethnic federal states to calm down tension after he ousted the dictator mengistu. now the amahara dont believe in ethnic states just one ethiopia preferably that goes beyond the recognized borders (no eritrea, djibouti and somalia), all that under their rule. fortunately they're too disorganized to take power. looks like few more decades for tigray people liberation front.


New PM is Welayta , they're an even smaller minority. The Tigray are smart, perfect front man to make it appear as though they aren't monopolizing rule but he won't touch their power base.

We are in for interesting times. Lets hope the comming power struggle is in Somali favour, as in NO amhara we should all pray for a stabilization of TPLF rule..

Any chaos and breakdown of law and order will benefit the Amhara. Never underestimate the Oromos though being foot soldiers for those that will oppress them. :ehh:

:laugh:@All this Amhara hatin, and yall know damn well Ehadig's whole angle was for Tigrays to take the sphere of influence from the Amharas and do the same shyt we did. TPLF's rise was shady as fukk and they dropped the ball on taking back Eritrea before so they been on the :youngsabo: tip just to keep that dream of a all Tigray state alive. The tribal politics are divisive, the only good thing that piece of shyt Mengistu did was operate on a more nationalist type platform. But I'm hip, the more the tribes of Ethiopia beefin and wanting "independence" the better it is for the surrounding countries.

Kiss my black ass. :pacspit:

Edit: I hope the country stays stable tho, my peoples too old to be escaping mayhem like they did in them Derg days. :sadcam:

Amharas don't have the numbers Oromos do, but they have the money and influence. Put it like this, Amharas and Tigrays were the powerful kings and rases of the highlands. That Solomonic line that Haile Selassie comes from is mostly Amhara/Tigray.

I'll give Meles this, while I don't agree with the tribal politics it also gave a voice to more people. I can't say it's created full blown equality in the country but at least the more obscure and at-risk tribes are being noticed and being given a chance to better their situation. Better than what Mengistu or the Emperor were doing. :ehh:
