The Amhara region reported clashes between national and regional forces brought about by a refusal among Amhara Special Forces' units to surrender weapons as part of the integration process. What will be the impact on Galbeed?

Won't lie, Abiy centralizing power is probably the best thing for Ethiopia. The TPLF atleast were committed to watering down Ethiopia, which is probably the best thing for Somalis.

Bring back Tesfaye:ileycry:
 
If Abiy wasn’t a murtard I would call him an honorary Somali wadani with how dedicated he is to destroying Ethiopia.
no one but Addis wants this.

A certain community will no longer be able to abuse other Somalis. Itoobiya is integrating them into military and police forces accross gobols.

:rejoice: :rejoice:
 
This is an interesting development. What does it mean for the border conflicts between Afar and Ciise and the Liyuu incursion into Somalia under the guise of fighting AS? Will they be pulled out so the re-organisation into military, and Local police can happen 🤔
 
This only applies to Amhara. Abiye is trying to disband Amhara Liyuu to satisfy TPLF who surrendered. This will force Many Amharas to join Fano which is what TPLF wants.

Lying in Ramadan to cope, fear Allah. It applies to all regional states according to the best source in Ethiopia, Addis standard.

The federal government has announced last night that it has started taking “practical activities” to dissolve the controversial regional state special forces following a decision that put “direction to build a strong centralized army that can protect the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Accordingly, the federal government said it has started to dissolve the special forces of each region and “allow them to join various security structures.”
The establishment more than 15 years ago of regional special forces first in the Somali regional state is believed to be extra-constitutional, and their continued presence and involvements in some of the most controversial interregional confrontations and regional security crackdowns were a subject of years long criticism in the Ethiopian political space.
The main objective of dissolving regional special forces “is not to disarm any particular force” it said, rather to enable them to join the regional and federal police or the national defense forces “according to their choices.”

If there is any member of the special forces who does not want to be included in this process, the government will do the necessary rehabilitation work to enable them join a “normal civilian life,” the statement said.


Thank you @TekNiKo for raising awareness on this news.

depends if they also dismantle their liyuu
Even if their Liyuu' are dismantled, it doesn't matter.

They will have no problem re-grouping and creating unaffiliated local militias/paras and also be given high level positions in the military, if they already don't have any.

The Afar have proven themselves to be on the good side of the Ethiopian Gov and the ENDF backing them in the conflict over Western Sitti is already an indicator of that. Whilst the Oromo already enjoy great power in the upper echelon of the military.

Real power is in Addis somalis need more representation in the Ethiopian parliment and positions as Generals in the ENDF like the amharas

Is this why the committee for disbanding liyuu forces is in Jigjiga now. Somaliland complained and Abey obliged. Jecliya jabki cadowga Somaliland.
