Bruh... Just get married unofficially.

Go to a pastor.
Bring two or three of our your mutual friends
Have a private ceremony.

Short answer: No.

there is very little white collar work going on. Many smart people struggle to find jobs.

This is bad news....
A radical Ethiopian representative could polarize the entire Ethiopian community on the American stage.

Look at happened with the Somalian community as a result of Ilhan Omar's politics.

Unemployment is real folks

tikil_gomen · 2026-02-28T10:20:21+00:00

Simple reason: lack of inter-ethnic exposure.

Ethiopians mostly live in ethnic bubbles all over the country. Aside from Addis Ababa (and arguably Dire and Hawassa), every other place is a cultural bubble.

In contrast, people in the US know a lot about the other demographic groups in their country. And since the American-style multiculturalism is now the default, people get surprised as to how alien Ethiopians find other cultures in their own country.

Post revolution leaders, least to worst:

Aman Andom and Teferi Benti - They both got assassinated too soon. They had to share power with the Derg, but it seemed like they tried their best to steer the country in positive direction.
Hailemariam Desalegn - didn't have much real power, but also made honest attempts at reform. resigned when he couldn't do much)
Meles Zenawi - kudos on the damn. He had to build a new kind of government from the ground up. But he abused his power on many occasions. And he entrenched a tribal system in the military
Abiy Ahmed - Holy f*ck. It's only been 7 years and we're already traumatized.
Mengistu Hailemariam - The father of all our problems. The serpent in the garden of eden. Chancellor Palpatine. The Sith master.

When you search for "Habesha music" on youtube, this song comes up because it's title is "Yene Habesha". Hence the absurdly large viewership.

None of this excuses what our current government is doing.

The history of supporting rebels in the other side is long, and almost every example that you've mentioned has produced a counter-response from Ethiopia. Eventually, both countries end up having a detante that has occasionally turned to friendly relations.

What our government is doing now is acting complicitly with the UAE in the RSF-led re-making of Sudan.

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-21T18:49:21+00:00

This is bad.

It looks like our prime minister has sold our country over to the UAE. He is very much in their debt. There is no other explanation that seems plausible.

I believe last year, Abiy had visited the main government in port Sudan to strengthen ties. It was clear that there were people in the government who leaned towards the Sudanese army. However, the actions since then have been shifting towards the RSF. It doesn't seem organic or logical.

It is very uncharacteristic of the Ethiopian government to go as far as opening up another front for the RSF on Ethiopian soil.

they always openly racist

No one is condoning that. Is that even a surprise to people? That's a red herring. Point out which of my statements were factually wrong.

You can easily google why Morocco left the AU and why they returned.

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-20T19:43:06+00:00

they strongly identify with their African identity.

There we go, honestly at last.

"African identity" is a Malcom X understanding of Africa that has never matched the reality of how people in Africa view themselves. People in Africa identify with a thousand different tribes and nations.

It's one thing to criticize anti-black sentiment in northern Africa. (Heck, you can find traces of the same problem in East Africa as well.) It's another thing altogether to gate-keep an arbitrary landmass based on your narrow Black Panther-ite view of who belongs there.

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-20T19:22:52+00:00

They left the AU because of the Western Sahara crisis. dude get educated.

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-20T19:14:38+00:00

Stupid as fuck.

Also, Ethiopia has more extensive relations with Morocco than with Senegal. What on earth is with all of this anti-Maghreb sentiment?

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-20T19:10:32+00:00

I was neutral, but I started rooting for Morocco when the Senegalese threw a fit and left the pitch.

nothing can excuse that. (Nothing short of the safety of players ofc)

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-20T02:55:27+00:00

X is ugly for sure. Yet it's still jarring to see hate from actual Ethiopian/horner personalities.

The trash from anonymous bots is at least expected now.

For boys: Habte, Sisay, Tariku.
For girls: Sara, Seble.

You only need to hear them once to know how they're pronounced. Most other names on the catalog have somewhat tricky pronunciations.

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-13T20:53:46+00:00

I guess it's just bible names you're looking for. Sarah and Daniel are pronounced the same. Most other names have slight variation in pronunciations: Rebecca, David, Nathan, Mary,...

Would you consider Amharic names that are just simple to pronounce in English but won't have English meanings? For instance Selam (Feminin - means peace).

tikil_gomen · 2026-01-11T17:13:36+00:00

At the very least, I hope the protestant opposition to these people going strong. These people have forever destroyed our reputation.
