Abyamado, the above feedback I wrote was a response to Eden, not to you. As for not wanting any discussion with me, the preference is mutual.

Well, I am a kind of pragmatist. Ethiopians have been sensitized with ethnic politics for long, and the unitary system might not be appealing to a considerable number of them. I like federalism. I have no problem with ferderalism . Some issues could be addressed more efficiently with local governmen...

At times ER was a promising forum that entertained several political ideas. There were usually two ways of interpretation of a single issue. Some see politics only from language based federalism angle, and others could define it as the very cause of instability Ethiopia has experienced. On the forme...

Horus wrote Tigreans are the “ beneficiaries.” That is to mean of the TPLF rule. The prime minister of Ethiopia disagrees with him. He once said they benefited nothing, but, he implied, in their name some lived the high life. Is Abiy was trying to be politically correct when he made that statement? ...

I disagree with Horus. The Sebhat dynasty and the people of Tigray should be seen differently. That TPLF was embraced by Tigreans was not a surprise. Even EPRP chose to start armed struggle in Tigray. Yes, the main factor could be geography, being far away from the central government, having a borde...

Well, beftnet, they will not “ be eaten alive.” Addis Abebans are much more civilized than the people you argue here with. But that Addis Abebans will laugh at their “ mender” politics is a fact. Yes, I agree the support Abiy has gotten within a month in Addis the Sebhat dynasty had not a fraction o...

Axumawi for a day or two I thought you are unpaid spokesman for Ethiopian airlines. You have no business there. I did not like the character Abebe F. He does not have self esteem. This is the Axumawi I like , the one who is in business of counting the tribes, no matter how ill-equipped he is to do so.

Axumawi stop [deleted] kissing. The Sebhat dynasty is done.

Halafi, I believe when you say Tigray nationalists you mean to say those who raised arms to “liberate” Tigray and those who still believe in that old politics. The former I count in my right hand fingers. The latter may be not. It does not matter though. The people who” fought” for Tigray nationalis...

I do not know who is this guy is. But I really do not miss of anything of not knowing him. He is a demagogue. If he really cares about the people of Tigray, he should not have said what he said. What he said might get an applause mostly from the TPLF cadres, and even some Tigreans, but it sounds hol...

This is why I keep saying the ethnic politics lords do not salivate about Addis Abeba. Addis Abebans are not your kind. I meant it. Take example these kids. They do not know any government except — let me be politically correct — the EPDRF. They grew up brainwashed by ethnic politicians. But just he...

As for Arkebe is concerned, it seems to me, he embraced the Change from the outset. I remember in one impromptu speech Abiy saying about his being apolitical person who cares about Ethiopia deeply. I do not believe Abiy confers such trust upon a politician who has spent the majority of his life beli...

Eden, are you trying to tell Eritreans Meles had been your friend, and Abiy is not. The other day Abay Tsehaye was reminding Eritreans that Tigreans are close to them than the rest of Ethiopians are. In fact, you have repeated the equivalent of such statement in ER constantly. This is, Eden, politic...

There are two choices to describe you. First, you are the tribal politics lord who are seeing now your world crumbles. You do not like it. Second, you are totally ignorant which you are ashamed of it. To cover up your ignorance, you need a shelter. Whether you are an Amhara or not still is debatable...

Let me break it for you, Ethoash. The displacer is the storm. The displaced : the Texas residents.

Ethoash, have you ever checked the meaning of a word in a dictionary? I have my doubt. Start with the word displace.

Still you are struggling with the language. Internally displaced people means the Gonderes are who were displaced, like the Tigreans moving to Gonder.

The retarded so called Amhara will you shut up? You are the most disgusting, illetrate who vomits hate daily. Whatever inferiority complex that is eating you inside out should not give you a license to spread hatred among Ethiopians.

First, know meaning of the word you are using. The Gonderes who move to Tigray are not refugees. Tigray is not an independent country; it is part of Ethiopia. Any Ethiopian should not need the permission of regional or federal government to move anywhere he or she chooses. In the meantime Tigreans w...

Gonderes who move to Tigray are refugees. I did not know that. Thanks for enlightening me.
