On ethnic killing, he admitted that it is the politicians that are using ethnicity for political killings in Ethiopia. The politicians in previous administrations were not determined to cleanse areas from different ethnicity by killing the other ethnicity. Now politicians in some Oromia region areas are killing Amharas and the Amhara politicians in some Amhara region areas are killing Oromos. Amhara region's ethnic cleaning of Tigrayans in Western Tigray is now internationally recognized 21st century crime.

The Neguse Negest system is an organic federalist system devised by Ancient Tigrayans in Axum. The core foundations of the system are respect for autonomy, self-rule and differences. Hence, the Abyssinia / Ethiopian Empire has always been a federalist arrangement.
The Neguse Negest system is a federalist system where the Neguses have autonomy on their territories and pay taxes to the Neguse Negest (federal government). The Neguse Negest looks after common defense and international relations. Actually, it looks like it was HSI who ended the federalist system when he fired the Neguses but still kept the Neguse Negest title. He introduced a centralized state system into a country that has always been a federalist structure. Mengistu continued the madness of unitary state which resulted in Eritrea's independence.
The Isaias, Abiy & Amhara Elite / fake 'Ethiopianist' alliance have plunged the country into another bloody war after 30 years in order to re-install a centralized / unitary state system and end the existing Constitutional Federalism. Tigray has single-handedly defeated the Alliance and forced PM Abiy & his PP to commit to keep Constitutional Federalism.
