Cabdi Ilay on what the goal of the Amhara is, also Poll

[Thegoodshepherd]

The Amhara want to remove TPLF so they return Ethiopia to a unitary state and resume their policy of Amaharization. They are against federalism and believe that all of Ethiopia is Amharaland. Somalis must side with the Tigray who have fought to bring about this system. The Tigray does not love the Somali, but he knows we have interests in common. Amhara (Neftegna) want to enslave all other ethnicities in Ethiopia and remake it into Abyssinia. They want to control resources that do not belong to them, even today they claim Dire Dawa and Harar.

I know a lot of people don't like Cabdi Iley, but in this case he is totally right. If Somalis want to preserve what little gains they have made in the past 15 years, they must fight and die for TPLF. Federalism is a must or in a hundred years little kids from Liban to Wardheer will be speaking Amharic. Look at the Oromo, half of them can't speak their mother language.

Once the Amhara-Oromo alliance takes over Ethiopia, say bye-bye to Somalia. They will recognize every Somali clan-based region (Somaliland, Puntland, Jubbaland, Galmudug) as sovereign nations and then they will play one clan-sovereign state against another clan-sovereign state. The name "Somali" will completely be erased from the Horn of Africa.

They are all the same. With that being said Amhara are good for somali unity.
Not because they like us but thier agenda is clear to all Somalis.

Exactly, the Amhara are the enemy of progress in Ethiopia, they want a return to a system which expired 30 years ago. The only problem for them is that everyone from DDSI to SSNP to Benishangul to even Oromia want to keep federalism and just tweak around the margins. If Meles' constitution was implemented, you would hear no more complaints. They see that as the economy develops and Ethiopia becomes richer, the closer it gets to democratizing. The Amhara realize that they are now a minority of about 22% and that they would be outvoted everytime. This is their last chance to seized power before social development in Ethiopia makes it democratize. The same Oromo who are protesting against TPLF 100% support federalism and want Addis Ababa to become their regional capital, they absolutely want no part in the centralization project the Amhara are trying to pursue.

I hope you Caghdeer/Bartiire support the Tigray.The other Somalis will hand you all over to the Oromo-Amhara leaders for abusing fellow Somalis and helping Tigray abuse Amharas/Oromos

Great article by an Oromo scholar who is not fooled by the crocodile tears of the Amhara, I like when he said "they cannot afford equality".
