@minewshoa I think it’s obvious. I left the name out intentionally bc I think often times a specific ethnic group is being used to label/target/character assassinate an entire group of people, which I’d like to stay away from bc the ordinary citizen would like to live and sleep peacefully.
The extent to which some ultra nationalists go to revise history is mind boggling. It’s done on a broad daylight with no shame!🙄
On one hand, you blame present day fascism, but don’t you know ultranationalism is actually a key foundation of fascism?
@GualJeganu@AlemayehuGK Speaking of hypocrisy tho, the better Q might be: Shouldn’t Tegarus demand the wanted few tplf leaders to give their hands to the GoE? Tigray has so much wealth and young leaders, but why should they vanish bc of few rogue leaders? How’s that serving the ordinary Tigrayan?
@amaadona7a So true. I think medias reflect the society it serves. On one hand, what we’re witnessing now is the result of the deterioration and the hate that was/is planted in the past/present. On the other, it’s clear that there is a fertile ground for such rhetoric from all groups.
@beti_jackson_ Any humanitarian should speak against injustices and it’s good that you’re speaking up for Tegarus. But have you raised the atrocities happening to Amharas and others in ETH that have been committed by tplf/tdf? Genuinely asking 🤔🤔
There’s hope with the silent majority be it Tigrayans, Amharas, Oromos and more who has courage to speak up against their base (ethnic or political affiliation) and stand for the truth—not when it’s convenient but the truth bc it is the truth.
.@daddyhope Admire your moderation & the space you created. This is the type of questions ppl should interrogate:
1) To what extent is the tplf/the GoE/foreign powers responsible for the current war? What is the way out?
2) Why is one group’s pain worth more than the other group?
Part of the problem is that most groups are not seeing eye to eye with others about the pain and trauma that others are experiencing. That’s perpetuating tribalism and extremism. Without genuine dialogue and recognition of historical and current pain, how can we move forward?
@Bemnet1@nytimes By no means a justification to the point you raised, but are you saying if there’s no door open for you, then you create a whole new narrative to fit your agenda (might I add without inputs from the party you’re condemning) and call it journalism? 🤔🤔
Looks like @nytimes is recycling the same tactics.
It’s 2021 & yet your correspondents are multiplying propaganda using similar stories and ‘sources’ instead of
1) conducting investigative research,
2) checking their privileges,
3) working with experts on the ground.
