In May 2019 Borkena flagged a Walta Information interview with Yohannes Buayalew, then a senior figure in the Amhara Democratic Party, one of the EPRDF successor parties navigating Abiy Ahmed’s reform years.
Party interviews from that season matter because Amhara politics was already shifting under street pressure, elite splits, and fights over security and identity that later exploded into open war.
Viewers who still have the Walta recording can hear how ADP officials described federal partnership and regional demands before later ruptures. The printed notice alone is thin, but it dates the conversation.
As politics archive, the item is a pointer to a primary-source interview rather than a finished analysis. It keeps Buayalew’s name and the May 2019 timing in the public file.
