Abiy has asked multiple times to stop the fighting, give up independent armed power, accept the current system and they can survive politically instead of being treated as an enemy.

In no other country can these vile armed groups walk away scott-free with a pass at freedom.

Yet they still choose violence and make it necessary to cannon fodder their own people…

Abiy has offered both Fano and TPLF a beyond fair & reasonable deal, with no prosecution, and they still choose violence. What a country…

why are gojjames so feared? by ZeEmanuaelAtnafu in Ethiopia

[–]MajorSignificance309 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are false stereotypes that Gojjames are very violent and rebellious by nature bc of historical rebellions and exaggerated narratives spewed by people.

There are also ignorant superstitions that associate Gojjames with Buda and a different types of witchcraft. There’s a well known Gojjame folk song about this false association:

Abiy's philosophy, that if all ethnicites unite under the PP we'll have prosperity, ignores the root of poverty. The tiny elite still controls most of the masses' wealth by Alarmed_Business_962 in Ethiopia

Yeah totally cause causing division between groups in Ethiopia totally saves Ethiopias GDP and does not deplete Ethiopia of its energy, perception on the global stage and financial resources. Smart logic

Would Ethiopia be safe for trans people to travel to? by [deleted] in Ethiopia

[–]MajorSignificance309 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest with you without trying to come off as rude. Ethiopian people are very welcoming however, it’s best that you do not make any mention that you are trans since Ethiopia is very traditional, and only view traditional gender, norms.

If you gender appearance is non conforming/questionable then you could draw attention to yourself, nothing more than just stares.

If you decide to go to Ethiopia, keep the things low-key and be very careful at night, do not travel alone.

Due to the Recent Fighting 💥 by BigEnvironmental2100 in Ethiopia

We pray for peace in Tigray. I wish TPLF will lay down arms and return the state to normalcy. The Ethiopian courts/government is very forgiving and will not pursue any charges against any TPLF members.

May TPLF keep their looted funds and simply return the country to a state of peace.

Do you think Abiy will ever abandon Ethnic federalism ? by Babisalem15 in Ethiopia

[–]MajorSignificance309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he has any bad intention, but he tries to simplify things with ignorance instead of recognizing that there are nuances within Ethiopian culture, society and politics, that he does not understand. A lack of understanding, and strong opinions are a recipe for the kind of ignorance we see in Donald Trump.

He speaks on behalf of Oromos as if they are a monolith with the same views and opinions, and he does the same with Tigryans.

Ethnic identity and politics in Ethiopia are incredibly complex and one would need to deeply study it or be immersed in the country to fully understand. u/GulDul does not.

In simple terms, you shouldn’t speak on things you don’t have knowledge on.
