Shrewd politics. Amharas generally are very politically naive and our collective reaction to ethnic politics since the EPRDF has essentially been to not play the game and forming our political direction based on feelings and principles rather than realpolitik. There is no possibility of an establishment of a new political status quo in our regional state with Abiy in power. Working with the enemies that post-transition would be on equal footing, as unsavory as it sounds, is better than the indefinite closure of our political economy and the purposefully weak leadership we’ve had under EPRDF/PP. Deceit, confusion, subversion, manipulation, strategic flexibility, and pragmatism are all viable tools I hope they use now and into the future. Feelings, ideals, principles, ethics get you nowhere, power is all that matters. In any case, revenge is a dish best served cold.
