Echoes of the 16th Century: Abiy Ahmed’s Slow-Motion Replay of Savage Expansion and Erasure, Fueled by Toxic #Oromumma
In the blood-soaked annals of the 16th century, Ethiopia endured a cataclysm that Biruku’s unflinching catalogue lays bare for every Ethiopian to confront, a grim tally of ethnic groups and political entities systematically erased amid Ahmad Gragn’s Ottoman-backed jihad, which scorched the Christian highlands, shattered ancient kingdoms, and paved the way for relentless Oromo expansions and invasions that swept provinces in waves of conquest, assimilation, and outright obliteration, extinguishing entire peoples once sovereign and rooted in their lands, silencing their languages, repopulating their territories, and reducing their existence to faint echoes in chronicles.
The primary targets then, as now, were the Amhara heartlands and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, bastions of indigenous continuity that bore the greatest brunt of destruction, their monasteries razed, their communities displaced, their cultural fabric torn to facilitate imperial Ottoman ambitions and demographic shifts that redrew the map in favor of invaders. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and Abiy Ahmed enacts this savagery in agonizing slow motion, wielding modern tools of statecraft, proxy militias, and engineered chaos to dismantle the same enduring pillars: the Amhara community, indigenous Sufi-influenced Islam, and above all the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, through calculated structural violence in regions like Wellega, Bale, Hararghe, Kaffa, Sidamo, and Arsi, where Amhara civilians face targeted massacres, forced displacements, and cultural erasure, while EOTC clergy and faithful endure abductions, church burnings, and schismatic manipulations that echo Gragn’s assaults on sacred sites. Indigenous Islam, too, suffers under the rise of imported #Salafist strains that Abiy tacitly enables, marginalizing traditional Ethiopian Muslim practices in a bid to consolidate power through division, just as Ottoman proxies once did to fracture the highlands. Driving this entire enterprise is the toxic #Oromumma ideology, which Dr. Yonas Birru has unflinchingly described as low-grade Nazism: an ethno-supremacist doctrine cloaked in victimhood rhetoric, obsessed with supremacy over other groups, particularly the Amhara, and willing to deploy any level of violence, displacement, and cultural annihilation to achieve it.
Abiy’s regime weaponizes this poisonous creed under the veneer of ethnic federalism and “multinationalism,” recruiting cannon fodder for endless conflicts that bleed the Horn of Africa, all while projecting blame onto the very victims, the Amhara and #EOTC, whose resilience threatens this #Oromumma-fueled hegemony. History does not repeat by accident; it is weaponized, and in Abiy’s hands, the 16th century’s ghosts stalk the present, amplified by a 21st-century ideology that mirrors the worst ethno-fascist impulses of the past, demanding that Amhara, Orthodox faithful, and all Ethiopians recognize the pattern before the erasure becomes complete.
The Selective Memory of Jawar Mohammed: Weaponizing Numbers to Erase Amhara Suffering
Jawar Mohammed's claim that $60B was "wasted" on war, $30B in Tigray, $10B in Amhara, $20B in Oromia, is more than fiscal framing. It reflects a deliberate distortion of Ethiopia’s tragedy and a dangerous minimization of the most persecuted group: the Amhara.
By assigning the least cost to the Amhara warfront, Jawar subtly implies they were the least impacted. In reality, the Amhara region faced the most intense destruction. Thousands of schools and health centers were destroyed. Massacres like Kobo and Chenna claimed hundreds of innocent lives. These were not incidental, they were targeted.
Jawar, along with Abiy Ahmed, the TPLF, and the OLF, remains conspicuously silent on the #AmharaGenocide. From the OLA’s massacres in Ataye and Majete to the orchestrated pogroms after Hachalu Hundessa’s assassination, Amhara lives and livelihoods have been systematically attacked.
His refusal to condemn or even acknowledge these atrocities while portraying himself as a voice for peace exposes a selective morality. This is not mere oversight. It is a political choice grounded in ethnic animus and revisionism.
The Amhara deserve justice, not erasure.
@UN_HRC@UNHumanRights
Jawar, the Master of Opportunism—You really outdo yourself. After failing to outmaneuver Abiy, you’ve turned to your old, tired tactics of demagoguery. Don’t pretend to be the voice of the people now. Your crocodile tears for Ethiopia’s suffering are as hollow as your so-called “activism.” Let’s not forget—your hatred for the #Amhara is as venomous as Abiy’s, if not more. You’re cut from the same cloth—two sides of a dangerous, bigoted coin. While Abiy peddles his warped Prosperity Gospel as a guise for his Oromia expansionist agenda, you cloak your Salafist ambitions behind populist rhetoric.
Both of you are building castles in the air, dreaming of empires built on the ashes of Ethiopia’s historic institutions, particularly the #EOTC and other indigenous religions. You’ve always been a preacher of division, slicing the country apart with your forked tongue. So spare us the hypocritical sermons, Jawar. Whether it’s on the streets of Addis or in the cyberspace echo chambers, your words are just the recycled venom of a bitter, failed politician.
We see through you. We always have.
The Gloves Are Off: Tsegaye Ararssa [
@RArarssa
], the Australian Exile, Joins Abiy Ahmed in the Open Call to Dismantle the Amhara People. #Oromumma on steroids
Tsegaye Ararssa, the constitutional law scholar who once branded Abiy Ahmed a fascist and the worst leader the Oromo people have ever known, has now stepped out from behind the curtain in his KALLATTII interview, broadcast from Egypt, that long-time patron of the Oromo Liberation Front and other anti-Amhara forces. The gloves are off, he declares, and what we see beneath is a man perfectly willing to partner with the very Abiy he once denounced, so long as the partnership serves one overriding purpose: the displacement and systematic dismantling of the Amhara people from every province they have called home for centuries, alongside the relentless demonization of Eritrea.
His primary target throughout the interview remains unmistakably the Amhara and Eritrea; he speaks of coequals and federalism while whining that Amhara are settlers, he lectures on history yet practices the most surgical selective amnesia, erasing the medieval map of Ethiopia, readily found in any serious Encyclopedia of Ethiopia, that shows the territorial extent of the Amhara heartland right before the Oromo expansion and invasion that began in the 1500s. He claims Addis Ababa, home to millions of Amhara and other ethnic groups, as Oromo territory; he accuses the Amhara and Eritrea of plotting to destroy Addis, the ultimate projection from a man whose own prime minister openly boasts of turning Asmara into Gaza, brags that Ethiopia swallows Eritrea’s entire population every year, and warns that any war will have a clear winner.
Yet in the same breath Tsegaye constantly praises the TPLF, presenting it as a victim or a legitimate force while he insults and demonizes Amhara and Eritreans without pause; these are his strategic lies, because the TPLF remains his true ally in this broader campaign, a quiet partnership masked by selective outrage. He sits comfortably in Australia, enjoying the freedoms of a free society, while using that platform to issue explicit calls for ethnic cleansing against the very people who architected the Ethiopian state. Meanwhile the facts on the ground remain damning: the Derg military regime was Oromo-led, the TPLF era deliberately marginalized Amhara, and since 2018 every lever of real power, Prime Minister, army chief, air force, major divisions, has been consolidated under Oromo control. Yet he still points the finger at the Amhara elite as the source of all destruction; the people being exterminated in every corner of the country are accused of engineering their own extermination. The projection is breathtaking.
And for the record, and for the international community, when Tsegaye accuses Amhara of cannibalism, another voice from the same camp openly calls for the cannibalization of Amhara; both videos are attached. The mask is not slipping, it has been thrown away.
This is not scholarship, this is not constitutionalism; this is a declaration of war on an entire people and on Eritrea, delivered from the safety of Melbourne while the killing fields burn back home.
To every peace-loving soul in the Horn of Africa, especially the Amhara and the people of Eritrea, listen carefully. The gloves are off. The alliance is open. The intent is stated without shame.
Such a shame that #ChalaAlemo parades his Harvard credentials and Tsegaye flaunts his University of Melbourne perch, both claiming the mantle of the educated elite, yet both descend to the same gutter: openly calling for the cannibalization of an entire people. The ivory tower has never looked so blood-soaked. #AmharaGenocide

Ethiopia: Video footage circulating on social media that shows government forces searching Amhara farmers’ grain warehouses and making the grain unusable has sparked wave of public outrage
This is a grave injustice taking place in Gondar, Amhara region. The deliberate destruction of a civilian farmer’s crops is not only unlawful but deeply inhumane. Such actions go far beyond hostility they represent collective punishment against innocent people. #WarOnAmhara
In a letter to the African Union, the Amhara Fano National Movement has called for an independent investigative body and urgent discussion at the upcoming meeting, alleging that Abiy Ahmed’s regime is committing grave crimes — including mass killings, rape, & mass imprisonment

@AbiyAhmedAli has waged full-scale #WarOnAmhara since April 2023. Another Rwanda is unfolding as the Oromo extremists forces & #ENDF are moving against the civilian Amhara's. A well trained & armed forces are committing Amhara genocide in the region! @OHCHR_EARO @StateDep@hrw

At the 39th #AUSummit in Addis Abeba, leaders speak of unity and progress. Meanwhile, more than 40 million Amhara people endure bombardment from heavy weapons, drones, and jets.
