Imagine this - What if Mekelle or Bahir Dar were Finfinne? Has one Galla ever wanted to settle in Tigray or Amhara?

Imagine this - What if Mekelle or Bahir Dar were Finfinne

The 60% of residents of Finfinne/Addis Ababa settled in the last 5 years. I know the first thing that comes to your minds is “So what? A capital city is supposed to do that!” What wiped out TPLF was its one dimensional thinking that economic growth and expansion will solve everything under the sun without working on the corresponding political, environmental, social, economic issues that your policy and/or everyday life is going to entail.

So imagine that in a matter of 10 years 3 million people (what you can call mettie) settle in Mekelle or Bahir Dar (1 million Gallas, 1 million Wolayitas and 1 million Others). Then their urine and feces would drain into Lake Tana or Ayder village and the socia-economic pattern is disfigured. I know no Amhara or Tigre would accept this and will seek for an orderly and regulated migration.

But when Gallas ask questions about this migration issue, all say ”How dare Gallas try to control who settles in their lands, aren’t they migrants themselves, who said they own these lands, blablabla”

Do you think if Mengistu or Haileselassie were in Addis they’d allow 3 million people to settle in a city this fast? But when Gallas start asking question and try to control it is unimaginable, yea?

Gallas have security, economic and environmental concerns and they don’t need the blessings of others to rule over their lands. What is happening now is not even the tip of the iceberg. Gallas have not even come to control 5% of what they deserve as much as Amharas and Tigers and Somalis and Afaris and Southerners control their lands. If you want to see what is going to happen over time, “you haven’t seen nothing yet.” If you’re worried about that and if you are fair and balanced as you profess to be, get Mekelle and Bahir Dar ready for 3 million migrants - we will send the over.

Also have you seen one Galla wanting to settle in Mekelle or Bahir Dar? So why do you have to complain that you couldn’t enter Gallaland when you’re the one coming to our lands? You silly babies!

So swallow the fact that Gallas have dominion over their lands and if you find it hard to accept that go back to Bahir Dar (just like what TPLF did when it moved to Tigray).

As to what Gallas will do to attain the remaining 95% of what they deserve yet, baby - you ain’t seen nothing yet!
