@BMLenjiso Lack of land ownership, economic dominance, language and culture, eviction from land etc mobilized Oromos even before the expansion of Menelik.
@BMLenjiso However, the role of Oromo elites in imperial expansion does not erase the subjugation experienced by Oromo communities. A balanced history must examine state power, local collaborators, resistance and the lived experience of the people.
@JonErlichman As a civilization, China is often said to be around 5,000 years old and India more than 4000 years. The first clearly documented dynasty is the Shang Dynasty, around 1600 BCE. The Indus Valley Civilization existed around 2600–1900 BCE.
@addisstandard Migrant workers are entitled to protection and dignity. These attacks not only harm individuals but also undermine South Africa’s reputation across the African countries and internationally.
@addisstandard It is not solely a matter of xenophobia in South Africa; it appears to reflect a broader pattern of anti-Black African sentiment. Other foreign nationals, including some white or Indian individuals, are not subjected to the same level of hostility. 21st century black hates blacks
@addisstandard Today, however, numerous Black African migrant workers are facing violence and discrimination from fellow Black South Africans.
Issues related to undocumented individuals should be addressed through appropriate legal channels by the government.
@addisstandard This raises serious concerns about the selective nature of these attacks, particularly against Black African migrants.
This situation is deeply troubling, especially considering that many African countries supported South Africa during its struggle against apartheid.
@NebeletG ቅናት ነው::It is unfair and unprofessional to make negative assumptions about Dr. Iyob without understanding who he is, his background, his experience, and his professional capacity. Such characterization does not help the discussion and may be damaging.
@Habtishgreat Youth unemployment in Ethiopia is alarming.
More university graduates are unemployed or unable to start their own businesses.
They lack collateral. They have limited access to finance.
Job opportunities in companies and government institutions are also shrinking.
@Habtishgreat You seem to take too much joy in show off status. This does not reflect professionalism. Travel business class or by chartered Jet is your choice. But it must be free from misuse of public resources.
Please act with humility. Millions of Ethiopians are facing food insecurity.
@TiborPNagyJr Repression deepened. Militarization with all neighborhood, consumed Eriterian youth. Families were separated. The country was pushed into hardship and silence. The highest youth migration followed. No more than half a million Eritreas live in Ethiopia, manily youth.
@TiborPNagyJr But later history moved differently. What looked like discipline slowly became control. What looked like unity became fear. What looked like self-reliance became isolation.
The Eritrean leader created a terrible mess.
So the issue is not only that people changed their views.
