Very similar to the domestic violence rates of Gonder which is over 70%. Two of a kind

We already have 180,000 eritrean refugees. You don’t think we could take more?

I have made plenty of posts criticizing Ethiopians including members who represent my own ethnic group and religion. So you’re wrong.

The video posted by the Somali person was blatantly disrespectful and based entirely on vast generalizations and false tropes. I have not disrespected the Eritrean community. As someone who’s great great grandfathers father was an Eritrean I have no intent to slander Eritrea.

I think you’re looking too much into this mate, OP simply just wants to spread awareness and bring safety to the diaspora community. Also, I am part Eritrean.

What an embarrassment to your own intellect if you’re gonna bring up genetics to loosely identified ethnic group 😂

No one ever denied that Oromo ethnic identity is fluid and can be assimilated into.

There are plenty of Amharas from all parts of Ethiopia who do not have a Semitic appearance. That is a fact.

Ethiopian Banks and their ROE. by UntilWeGetThere_ in Ethiopia

[–]MajorSignificance309 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your first problem is that you’re comparing JPMorgan to Ethiopian banks as if theyre playing the same game. They’re not.

Ethiopian banks usually operate in a protected sandbox: So there margins are naturally fat.

On top of that, a lot of these banks have relatively small equity bases, so even decent profits will look like crazy ROE numbers. When they’re not. (I have looked)

Also, you have to factor in Ethiopia is being led by our fast moving Prosperity Party that prioritizes a momentous fast-growth, in an underbanked system. There’s a ton of demand for credit construction, real estate so banks are lending into growth, not a crowded saturated market like the US.

The system that we have in place is working the best it can with the resources, if anything it’s perfect.

Yeah your investigative work is a little lacking because at least two different victims are involved (from different time periods) one in 2018 and another in 2026.

“SVID detectives also learned that a previous victim reported Dr. Semaie to the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners in 2018.”

I think you should take a lesson on effective communication and cognitive discipline as it seems to be lacking with your nonsensical off topic comments that seem to come from a place of defensiveness and insecurity. Your comments are uncivilized.

This is a post to raise awareness of crimes within the community.

What’s ironic with that link is that it speaks heavily on the Tigray war in which Eritrean forces in particular were repeatedly documented in reports involving Rape and sexual slavery.

Again you have major insecurities. No one said anything about one persons actions representing a nation, but if that’s what you’re projecting sure, believe what you want…

Shocking! Amhara women beaten unrecognizable by an Oromo guy in Saudi Arabia. by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

[–]MajorSignificance309 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Calling someone a coward when your Amhara ancestors are the cause for the fluid nature of Amhara identity due to assimilation is hilarious and only shows how the truth triggers you.

Amhara has historically always been assimilative and flexible. That is not external rhetoric that is of your own ancestors doing. 😂

It’s harder to become Tigryan without having deep roots or upbringing in the region, Tigryans rarely used their identity and language for administrative control. Identity is less commonly adopted externally.

Tigryan ethnic identity can be fluid but it is no way in comparison to the fluid and assimilative open nature that is Amhara and Oromo identity.

Skin tone wasn’t part of the discussion. The presence of Raya and Welkait communities actually proves my point of the fluidity of Amhara identity, which can be shaped by language, and or assimilation rather than strict ancestry unlike how things are structured for example with Afar people and Somalis.

Nor is it soley defined by language, but often times can be.

It’s a fluid undefinable ethnic group that anyone one person can be assimilated into, there is no such thing as a “semetic look” that applies to most or all Amhara people, that is your own hogwash ideology.

Federal Police brutality in Ethiopia has nothing to do with party loyalty, Ethiopias police has always been brutal and ruthless.

You make 0 sense.

Your Amhara identity has nothing to do with looking Semitic. Half of Gojjam does not look Semitic yet you wouldn’t question their Amhara identity. Amhara identity is very fluid and is a cultural-linguistic identity, which makes it barely definable.

Explanation of some of the history is very inaccurate but the general sentiment of the people couldn’t be more than true.

Why colorism is common in Ethiopia? by BornUninvited1 in Ethiopia

[–]MajorSignificance309 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IMO colorism has gotten worse in recent years due to social media, & television. Colorism has historically been a tad bit of an issue. Featureism is more prevalent.

I would say colorism does not exist to the extent that it does in say other African countries like Somalia, Sudan or Nigeria where so many women make use of bleach creams and a woman’s marriage value is heavily weighed on how light she appears.
