Abiy’s speech is music to the ears of those paid in dollars, diaspora retirees, and expats whose concerns revolve around clean streets, playgrounds, and orderly traffic.
But for 99.99% of Ethiopians, the priorities are far more basic.
The real color of Zemene Kassie’s Fano faction is being revealed day by day. Their actions suggest their cause aligns more with Tigray than with Amhara.
I didn’t want to say much about this, but it’s everywhere and impossible to ignore. Self-absorbed & opportunist ቦዘኔወች like this woman are the real problem in Ethiopian politics. They care more about preserving their so called lavish honestly hollow lifestyle than about the actual wellbeing ofbtheir own families or neighbors.
This woman is not trying to get herself elected to parliament. She is paid to run, so that she and others like her can manufacture a false sense of competitive elections and help legitimize the authoritarian regime in Addis.

Tesfaye Gebreab’s father, Asmerom Legesse has finally died. A false scholar just like Tesfaye; for decades Asmerom wrote countless fairytales which contributed to the radicalization of the #Oromo people and countless #Amhara deaths. Why did #Eritreans work so hard to radicalize #Oromo against #Amhara? They went as far as hiding the same OLA which is hunting #Amharas throughout #Oromia today. #Ethiopia #Amhara #Eritrea #Oromo
NW #Gondar and #AddisAbaba stand as two indispensable pillars in the broader Amhara national question. Each represents a different but equally decisive dimension of geography and statehood. Northwestern Gondar anchors the highland gateway to the Nile watershed, where the Tekeze and Abay river systems link the Ethiopian plateau to downstream regions that shape the hydropolitics of the wider basin, extending toward Egypt and the Mediterranean world. Its borderland position also connects inland highlands to routes leading toward the Red Sea through neighboring Eritrea, making it historically significant for trade, mobility, and regional linkage.
Addis Ababa, by contrast, represents the political and economic heart of the Ethiopian state. Situated near the geographic center of the country, it has long functioned as the administrative, diplomatic, and infrastructural core through which national power is organized and projected. If Northwestern Gondar embodies control over landscape, watershed, and regional corridors, Addis Ababa embodies the institutional center where sovereignty, policy, and economic direction converge.
Together, these two locations illustrate how geography and governance intersect. One anchors the ecological and regional frontier, the other the political and economic center. Understanding their combined weight is essential to understanding the spatial logic of Ethiopian history and the enduring importance of land, water, and capital in shaping national trajectories. @DuchessOfGonder
The fatal flaw of the regime in Addis is not that it lies, but that it cannot lie consistently. Sooner or later, for reasons known only to them, they break character and tell the truth.
What Was Ethiopia’s Chief of Staff Berhanu Jula’s Take on the 2021 Axum Incident?
And how does that compare to PM Abiy Ahmed’s latest allegations against Eritrea?
⚡️Thousands rally in Humera (📍Welkait-Tegede-Setit Humera Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia), rejecting TPLF's re-annexation attempt.
🔴 On February 2nd, a large-scale public demonstration filled the streets of Humera city, with residents protesting what they described as an attempted political and territorial subjugation of the zone.
🔴 Protesters carried placards rejecting separatism, including messages such as “The Tigray republic cannot be built on the ruins of Ethiopia,” and reaffirmed that Welkait-Tegede-Setit Humera is an inseparable part of the Amhara Region.
🔴 Demonstrators explicitly condemned the National Electoral Board’s decision to administratively place the zone under the Tigray Region, calling it illegitimate and imposed without the consent of the local population.
🔴 Other placards read “No to slavery,” reflecting widespread fears of domination, loss of identity, and denial of basic dignity, and underscoring demands for freedom, self-determination, and protection of Amhara identity.
#Amhara_War_Updates
Look at how a Human Rights Watch report in the 1990s framed Amhara victims of the Arba Gugu & Bedeno massacres, “the Amhara settlers were originally introduced to the area to pacify it on behalf of the central government in the nineteenth century.” There is no evidence of a policy relocating Amhara civilians to “pacify” these areas. The victims were ordinary Amharas, many born there, yet the report portrays them as agents of the state rather than innocent human beings. This narrative was provided to them by TPLF/OLF. This framing still shapes how Amharas are perceived in Western media, books etc & it helps explain why mass atrocities against Amharas is often ignored, minimized, or reported in ways that subtly justify it.
