True, but my thinking is Abiy is playing a dangerous game.
When he fought the TPLF many ENDF soldiers and generals defected, it’s a totally different situation but there’s no way Oromo soldiers would fight if he moves on dismantling Oromia, and he can’t afford that until he finishes with FANO
Don't be naive. Oromos are as part of the military as Amharas or other ethnic groups are. They have in fact the most soldiers there as well.
Who do you think is carrying out operations/attacks against OLA in Oromia today that's causing bloodshed amongst civilian Oromos? Aren't they Oromos themselves (in ENDF)?
Abiy wouldn't dismantle Oromia without giving something in return. He's trying to usher them a permanent seat at arat kilo and make Amharas politically irrelevant, unless they serve Oromo leaders/interests.
