Ethoash, take time off from ER, and learn basic maths. Your understanding of numbers is desipicable. You just have no respect for numbers. You keep saying there are 65 million Oromos. There are around 100 million Ethiopians of which 30 percent are Oromos. Ask any fifth grade student kid of your neig...

To say the demands of the Sidama “activists” is the desire of the the Sidama people is disingenuous. That lie have been repeated for the last half century over different geographical areas of Ethiopia, and some people seemed to have believed it as a fact. There were no Oromos secessionist movements....

Abebe b, I think you just grab headlines here and there, and you want to make a case based on it . Menilik might have said he was the lion of Juda, but you insert the conqueror hoping it serves your narrative. Menilik did not call himself a conqueror. As for the lion of juda, yes it is in Torah, and...

Abebe b, you brutalized the very definition of colonialism. I wish you to have a grip on it. As for Menilik he founded a nation state. A nation builder could not be a colonizer. I know you know that but you need a tailor made theory to rally the troop. I have news for you Abebe b, the troop is not t...

Those who planned out their political relevance based on an assumed enemity between Oromos and Amharas should wake up from their fantasy. That make believe was played out for almost three decades. It failed miserably. Yes, there will be some problem in the future. The last three decades had borne mi...

Abebe b let me defend the old gone guy you are never stop talking about: Menilik. You talk about him being the Amhara colonizer. Menilik did not see himself that way. Rather he believed he waged a splendid revolution to create the Ethiopia we know today. Before he came to the political scene every o...

Tolcha asks is Jawar going to succeed in his objective? But before asking whether he will succeed or not is not reasonable to know what his objective is? Beyond the rhetoric, the false history narrative, and reduction of political discourse between us and them, I do not think the guy has a map out o...

I am not writing to defend Eskinder. But I think it is too foolish to assume Ethiopians had voted along with Eritreans for Eritrean independence. But I write because I want to defend the “ tere sega eters,” and I am one of them. There are some people, usually Eritreans who just feel superior of the ...

Abebe b, I do not see a future you want to have is viable. The Daud Ibsa kind of politics is poised to die. The Shemilis Abdisa kind of politics however will map the future of Oromoia politics. It is not to late Abebe b, join the promising, say goodbye to the ancient. They already mislead you for ha...

I do not know that much about Tesfaye Gebreab. The little I know about him does not encourage me to know something more about him. But the feedback posted in his name however does not sound of him. He is seriously stupid if he close his statements saying victory to querro and Querro will win. I know...

Revelation, Ethiopian politics to you is all about yourself. Your hate of Birhanu is consuming you. Any person who even talks to Birhanu is your enemy, by extension the enemy of Ethiopia. You are after all Ethiopia by yourself. What a shallow creature!

Abebe b choosing an Ethiopian beauty, writing the name Ethiopia itself without anybody putting a gun on his head. I will have a drink tonight.

I did not know what had happened to Eskinder. He seems to be losing it. To place posters around the city, Eskinder and his friends should have asked about the legal status of their doings. Politics is one thing, and law is another. To promote politics, one should not fail upholding the rule of law. ...

I will try to answer. The TPLF of 1991 will never resurrect. It had been buried for good. At that time the three other parties’ politicians were not independent in their thinking. Deviating from the TPLF political orthodoxy was a “carrier” killer to them. Well, we now have a different political calc...

Just one correction. I read several years ago, the American farmers who are able to feed America and sell more to many countries in the world were five percent, not fifteen percent of the American population. Although I and you interpret the points you raised on some of the topics differently, I att...

Horus, if you see every decision Abiy makes from ethnic politics angle, you are not free from the influence of ethnic politics as you believe. Abiy cannot govern if he pays much attention to the desire of the social media noisemakers than the majority of Ethiopians. It is wrong to assume those of us...

Just rehear what Habtamou said: the chief executive of the army is an Oromo called Abiy, and now we have a defense minister who is an Oromo called Lemma. And he wondered how the defense minister stays away from politics as the constitution states because he implied his boss is an Oromo as he. Welcom...

abebe b, you seem to suggest he was pushed aside because of his lack of brainpower. I disagree. If that had been the case, meaning politicians been demoted for not having insight, EPDRF ceased to exist long time ago. Let me refresh your memory Abebe b. The late Meles had said — I paraphrase here — t...

Yes, Abiy seems to uphold the quota system. I believe qualification irrespective of the persons ethnic background should have been the only litmus test to appoint. I am inclined to believe Abiy might not disagree with it. But the very language of the country’s politicians, activists, and even a sign...

abebe b, I have not read the article, just your headline. And I wonder in the history of OLF was there a time that it counted five dead bodies at a given time let alone eighty-six. I believe not. Abebe b, do you know during Haileselassie reign mostly, a few Amharas rebelled against everybody and liv...
