Every Ethiopian claim on history, religion & culture are mainly from #Tigray: -the oldest nation is #Axum -the first #Christian nation is Axum -Home of the Ark of the Covenant is Axum -Ge’ez script started in Axum -an Axumite Christian king welcomed first #Muslim refugees -first anti Colonial struggle in #Africa started by Emperor Yohannes & Ras Alula -and many more Ethiopia is appropriating these & many more Tigrayan contributions, yet export war, famine & destructions to Tigray. Recently, the current Ethiopian regime in collaboration with foreign forces, carried out #TigrayGenocide including the #AxumMassacre.

Helle-lley helle-leelley … I was told that in 1977, when the #Somali army was defending the country from the Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, they used to play this dhaanto even inside tanks and fighter jets. I am told the then patriot Muse Bihi Abdi was fond of this dhaanto. In the Somali culture, the dhaanto holds a very special place. Aadan Abdi Gaawe — Aden Goobe —

Happy New Year from The Met! 🪩 Start 2025 with a closer look at Awol Erizku's dazzling "Nefertiti–Miles Davis," a mirrored tile bust of the Egyptian queen inspired by Miles Davis’s 1968 album Nefertiti. Suspended from the ceiling and rotating like a disco ball, this work explores the intersection of music and visual art, highlighting diasporic connections to ancient Egypt. Erizku frequently features Nefertiti in his work, blending references from culture coded as "urban" and the art-historical canon to examine themes of race, identity, and history. 🎨 Awol Erizku (Ethiopian American, 1988). Nefertiti–Miles Davis, 2017. Hand-coated foam and mirrored tile.

There’s something deeply symbolic about the Ethiopian song closing Trevor Noah’s “Joy in the Trenches” standup comedy that just got released on Netflix. In a global production streamed to millions, Trevor Noah doesn’t just end with laughter, he ends with Africa. It’s a quiet but powerful reminder: no matter how global the stage becomes, the roots remain local, cultural, and deeply personal. From Johannesburg to Netflix screens worldwide, he carries the continent with him, not as nostalgia, but as identity, rhythm, and voice. That final note is not just music. It’s Africa saying, “we are here… and we belong everywhere.” #africa #panafrican #roots #culture

Breaking News: Amhara Fano Forces Conduct Mission in Addis Ababa, Targeting Government Security Forces Unverified video footage has emerged depicting a daring mission carried out by Amhara Fano forces within the capital city of Addis Ababa. Reports suggest that the operation was executed without harm to civilians, with the sole objective of targeting government security forces. According to local sources in Addis Ababa, the Fano forces involved in the operation are believed to be affiliated with the larger Amhara Fano forces, which has been engaged in war with the regime of Abiy Ahmed, whom they accuse of perpetrating genocide against the Amhara people. The purported mastermind behind the mission, Major General Nahusenay, reportedly chose to take his own life rather than surrender to government security forces. Surrender is viewed as a dishonorable act in Amhara culture, dating back to ancient times. The Ethiopian regime has been taken aback by the strength and resilience of the Fano forces and has responded by intensifying crackdowns, targeting innocent Amhara civilians in Addis Ababa. Disturbing reports have emerged of ethnic Amharas being transported to concentration camps reminiscent of World War II standards. The international community is urged to remain vigilant and condemn the atrocities committed by the Ethiopian regime. This incident underscores the fragility of the Ethiopian government and highlights the Amhara Fano forces as potential allies in stabilizing the Horn of Africa. However, the targeting of Amhara civilians in the capital city cannot be ignored and must be met with condemnation and accountability.

#Ethiopian Foreign Minister: #Ethiopia’s State Formation Still Disputed, and is shaped by a Culture of Violence The following is what the current Ethiopian Foreign Minister said about the flawed nature of Ethiopia’s state formation and how it is still contested and shaped by a violent political culture. This is verbatim; I have not added any opinion. 'The process through which the Ethiopian state was formed is rather unique on the African continent. In most parts of the world, states are formed through conflict, violence, and bloodshed. That does not make Ethiopia unique. What makes Ethiopia unique—particularly in the African context—is that the violence was carried out by indigenous, native forces. The main protagonists in this process were Ethiopians themselves. By contrast, in the history of most African countries, state formation was the outcome of colonial conquest, with significant involvement of European actors. So, we have a state formation process driven by local political forces, but we did not have the opportunity to strengthen or cement that process through a social contract, nor did we have the chance to heal the wounds and contradictions that emerged during state formation. As a result, the legitimacy of the state was questioned and contested by some. This contestation has persisted throughout the formation of the state and has been exacerbated by subsequent events. Some have challenged the very legitimacy of the Ethiopian state; others have contested its nature, its vision, its identity, and its narratives. Some have found it difficult to accept its institutions and their configurations. Thus, there have always been fundamental contradictions stemming from Ethiopia’s state formation process, and we have not adequately addressed them in a way that would create consensus among key actors. Another layer we need to consider is that we have a very violent and autocratic political culture. Whenever there are contests for power, political differences, or disagreements over policy or institutional arrangements, the method of resolving them has more often than not been conflict. Imposing one’s will and vision on others through violence and force has been how we have conducted politics for generations. And once in power, using autocratic means to consolidate authority has been common practice. This autocratic and forceful approach, combined with the flawed state formation process, has produced many wounds, grievances, and violations. We have not been able to address these in a way that is satisfactory to most Ethiopians. On top of this, attempts to resolve these problems have often been divisive, emphasizing differences at the expense of what unites us. As a result, our politics has become polarized and ethnic-based.

The Jar of Needles: Historical Memory, Grievance Politics, and the Amhara Question One of the most revealing aspects of contemporary Ethiopian politics is not simply disagreement over history, but the transmission of historical narratives across generations. In a recent discussion of General Tsadkan’s new book, Abebech Kahasay and Araya Tesfamariam, two Ethiopian journalists of Tigrayan origin, offer an unusually candid critique of what they describe as the TPLF’s enduring political culture. Their argument is not directed at the people of Tigray, but at a political tradition that, in their view, continues to frame war and inherited grievance as central organizing principles. The most striking example is the story of the “jar of needles.” As recounted in the discussion, generations of TPLF leaders were told that during the reign of Emperor Menelik, “አንድ ገንቦ ሙሉ መርፌ ከትግራይ ሕዝብ ተሰብስቦ ወደ ሸዋ ተወስዶ ነበር፣ የትግራይ ሕዝብ ቀዳዳ ልብሱን እንኳን እንዳይሰፋ።” (“An entire jar of needles was collected from the people of Tigray and taken to Shoa so that the people of Tigray could not even mend their torn clothes.”) The journalists go on to state that this same narrative resurfaced during the recent Northern Ethiopian War as propaganda used to mobilize young people, repeating the message: “እዚህ ድረስ ነው ሸዋ የበደለን፣ እዚህ ድረስ ነው አማራ የበደለን።” (“This is how far Shoa has wronged us; this is how far the Amhara have wronged us.”) One of the speakers then asks a haunting question: “ምን ዓይነት በሽታ ነው? … ይህ መርዘኝነት?” (“What kind of disease is this? … This poisonous mentality?”) Whether one accepts or rejects the historical accuracy of this particular story, the discussion is significant because it comes from journalists from Tigray reflecting critically on the political culture of the TPLF itself. It also illustrates a broader challenge for Ethiopia: when historical memory is repeatedly framed through collective grievance and directed toward a single community, it becomes extraordinarily difficult to build trust, shared citizenship, and a peaceful political future. Breaking that cycle requires confronting inherited narratives honestly while refusing to pass them uncritically to the next generation. The timing makes the discussion particularly striking. During the Northern Ethiopian War, Ethiopia’s federal government was led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, while the country’s senior political and security leadership was not drawn from the Amhara community. Yet, according to the journalists’ account, historical grievances continued to be framed primarily in terms of “Shoa” and “Amhara.” This raises an important question: if the conflict was fundamentally between the TPLF leadership and a federal government that many critics describe as being dominated by Oromo political elites and influenced by OLF narratives, why did narratives of collective blame continue to focus on the Amhara? The question becomes even more significant in light of the public testimony of former Ethiopian official #Taye_Dendea, who stated in a recorded interview, before his imprisonment, that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had declared, “I am going to destroy the Amhara.” Similar accounts have since been echoed by other former senior Oromo officials who later left Ethiopia. Readers are, of course, free to examine those interviews, many of which I have previously shared, and reach their own conclusions. In my view, this reflects a deeper political pattern in which the Amhara people continue to serve as the principal historical reference point for accumulated grievances, despite the changing composition of state power. Tragically, the Amhara also paid an enormous human cost during the Northern Ethiopian War bearing the greatest brunt, making this persistent attribution of collective responsibility all the more significant.

Ethnic Division Within Ethiopian Military: In a shocking revelation, a leaked audio recording of the Ethiopian military's second chief in command has exposed deep-rooted ethnic divisions within the armed forces. The recording sheds light on how the military is allegedly divided along ethnic lines, with claims that ethnic Oromos hold significant positions both within the military and government. These revelations have raised concerns about the unity and stability of the nation. The leaked audio, purportedly from General Abebaw, highlights growing dissatisfaction within the Ethiopian military. It suggests that each ethnic region has formed its own sizable military force, leading to fragmentation and a lack of cohesion within the armed forces. Furthermore, the recording suggests that loyalty within the military is tied to ethnic affiliation, with individuals from specific ethnic groups supporting their own leaders. The leaked audio recording of General Abebaw has raised serious concerns about the state of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF). According to him, the ENDF is ill-equipped to defend the country against external threats, citing the defense and security system's effectiveness as zero. He attributes this critical situation to the replacement of well-educated and experienced military personnel with inexperienced individuals from ethnic Oromo backgrounds. Of particular concern is the claim that the current Oromo-affiliated government is attempting to replicate the military structure of the Tigray-dominated EPRDF government of the past. General Abebaw warns that this approach may fail, given the deep-seated ethnic divisions that plague the military. General Abebaw goes on to reveal that the current government's alliance with Saudi Arabia has influenced the ENDF's decision-making. High-level security projects are allegedly being handed over to Saudi Arabia as a form of solidarity, a move that was previously forbidden by the late General Seare due to the potential national security threats it poses. The ramifications of this leaked audio have already started to materialize. Recent reports indicate that Amhara Fano forces have been advancing their struggle, taking control of major cities such as Debrebrhan. The situation has further escalated with reports of other ethnic groups in the south supporting the Amhara Fano struggle. Only through genuine efforts to address ethnic divisions can Ethiopia navigate this perilous situation and secure a path toward lasting peace and prosperity for all its citizens.

$“Security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice.” Christian Tadele (Distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives) In a gripping courtroom narrative that echoed with the resonance of truth, Christian Tadele, a distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives, bared his soul to recount the egregious injustices he endured at the hands of his own government. Stripped of his parliamentary immunity and detained unlawfully, Tadele's testimony served as a searing indictment of a regime bent on silencing dissent at any cost. Facing the court yesterday, Tadele's words resonated with a potent mix of defiance and despair. "I harbor no illusions of justice from a tyrannical regime," he asserted, his voice a clarion call for accountability. Yet, undeterred by the specter of oppression, he remained resolute in his commitment to speak truth to power, knowing that his testimony would be etched into the annals of history. Recounting the day of his arrest, Tadele painted a vivid tableau of humiliation and degradation. He detailed how security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during his detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice. The word "ሽንታም" specifically connotes someone who urinates on themselves out of fear and humility.This calculated assault on his ethnic heritage, he explained, was emblematic of the regime's insidious strategy to sow division and discord among Ethiopia's diverse communities. Tadele underscored that the deliberate use of such a demeaning term by regime forces targeted ethnic Amharas, intending to degrade and demoralize them. This insidious tactic, he explained, aimed to fracture the spirit of the Amhara people while also signaling the dominance of an Ethnic Oromo-led government. Tadele's ordeal did not end with his arrest. He recounted chilling tales of physical abuse and intimidation, inflicted not only upon himself but also upon his loved ones. His home was ransacked, his possessions looted, and his very essence defiled. Forced to endure unspeakable horrors, he bore witness to the depths of depravity to which his captors would descend in their relentless quest to stifle dissent. Yet, amidst the darkness, there burned a flicker of defiance. Tadele refused to be cowed into submission, steadfastly asserting his right to challenge the powers that be. "How dare you demand accountability from the prime minister?" his captors sneered, their words dripping with contempt. But Tadele stood firm, a beacon of courage in the face of tyranny. As he concluded his testimony, Tadele spoke not only for himself but for all those who have suffered under the yoke of oppression. "For eight months, I endured trauma and indignity," he declared, his voice tinged with righteous indignation. Yet, even in his darkest hour, he clung to the hope that his words would serve as a rallying cry for justice. As Tadele's testimony reverberates through the hallowed halls of justice, let us heed his call for accountability. Let us stand in solidarity with all those who have been silenced and oppressed.

“Security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice.” Christian Tadele (Distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives) In a gripping courtroom narrative that echoed with the resonance of truth, Christian Tadele, a distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives, bared his soul to recount the egregious injustices he endured at the hands of his own government. Stripped of his parliamentary immunity and detained unlawfully, Tadele's testimony served as a searing indictment of a regime bent on silencing dissent at any cost. Facing the court yesterday, Tadele's words resonated with a potent mix of defiance and despair. "I harbor no illusions of justice from a tyrannical regime," he asserted, his voice a clarion call for accountability. Yet, undeterred by the specter of oppression, he remained resolute in his commitment to speak truth to power, knowing that his testimony would be etched into the annals of history. Recounting the day of his arrest, Tadele painted a vivid tableau of humiliation and degradation. He detailed how security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during his detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice. The word "ሽንታም" specifically connotes someone who urinates on themselves out of fear and humility.This calculated assault on his ethnic heritage, he explained, was emblematic of the regime's insidious strategy to sow division and discord among Ethiopia's diverse communities. Tadele underscored that the deliberate use of such a demeaning term by regime forces targeted ethnic Amharas, intending to degrade and demoralize them. This insidious tactic, he explained, aimed to fracture the spirit of the Amhara people while also signaling the dominance of an Ethnic Oromo-led government. Tadele's ordeal did not end with his arrest. He recounted chilling tales of physical abuse and intimidation, inflicted not only upon himself but also upon his loved ones. His home was ransacked, his possessions looted, and his very essence defiled. Forced to endure unspeakable horrors, he bore witness to the depths of depravity to which his captors would descend in their relentless quest to stifle dissent. Yet, amidst the darkness, there burned a flicker of defiance. Tadele refused to be cowed into submission, steadfastly asserting his right to challenge the powers that be. "How dare you demand accountability from the prime minister?" his captors sneered, their words dripping with contempt. But Tadele stood firm, a beacon of courage in the face of tyranny. As he concluded his testimony, Tadele spoke not only for himself but for all those who have suffered under the yoke of oppression. "For eight months, I endured trauma and indignity," he declared, his voice tinged with righteous indignation. Yet, even in his darkest hour, he clung to the hope that his words would serve as a rallying cry for justice. As Tadele's testimony reverberates through the hallowed halls of justice, let us heed his call for accountability. Let us stand in solidarity with all those who have been silenced and oppressed. And let us never forget that the pursuit of truth and justice is the sacred duty of all who cherish freedom and human dignity.

My speech supporting Donald J. Trump and condemning the #AmharaGenocide at the Amhara rally near White House First of all, I congratulate President Trump and the American people for the big win. This is, in fact, a great opportunity. An opportunity for America to heal, and an opportunity for other nations like Ethiopia that are suffering due to the chokehold of the global order, too. The powers that are complicit in the genocide of Amhara people in Ethiopia are the same powers promoting an evil, far-leftist, and neo-marxist agenda throughout the world. They destroyed Ethiopia decades ago by introducing identity politics, ethnic division, and a militant, anti-cultural, Marxist ideology, leading to the devastation and destruction of the country by way of war and genocide. These same powers are now attempting to destroy Western civilization by tearing apart the structure of the family, shutting down free speech, and flooding the West with ideological zealots that aim to reduce Judeo-Christian values in the West to ashes. President Trump and his administration came up at the perfect time to impede such a destructive agenda from meeting its end goal. when Trump was president between 2016 and 2020, he played a role in removing TPLF from power: A fact that was stated by Sebhat Nega in an interview in Mekele. They had diverted funds intended to fight Al-Shabaab to strengthen the terror group instead. Trump has also acknowledged the suffering of Armenians and Copts. The Ethiopian Amhara diaspora is largely conservative in terms of values, hard-working, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church prays for America in the US during every Liturgy or Mass. Ethiopian Americans love this country and believe that there's now an opportunity to restore America to greatness. There is also an opportunity to restore Ethiopia to greatness and create a strong alliance between the two countries that share similar values and have many common interests. Ethiopia was once a pillar of the West in antiquity. Now, it's in the hands of an anti-culture, anti-civilization, and anti-faith regime that commits genocide on Amhara people with the intention of causing the erasure of Ethiopia's longstanding values. The same powers that restrict Amharas from voicing the genocide being committed by the regime and the same global organizations that silently watch the massacres of Amhara civilians are the ones seeking to shut down free speech here in America. We are happy that Trump, Elon Musk [Elon Musk], and the new administration have defeated them. As Yuval Noah Harari said, Trump's win is a deathblow to the global order. Unknown and evil forces tried to kill him, but he implored the intercession of St. Michael, venerated the Virgin Mary, and then he won. The Ethiopian regime is causing instability in the Horn of Africa by waging war on Amhara people; and the Amhara people are fighting to ascertain their survival as a people in order to exist, and ensure the integrity of Ethiopia to impede terrorist forces from breeding in a possible vacuum created by the regime's war. We want peace, stability, and the survival of Amharas and all Ethiopians; and in that way, we can cooperate to create stability in the entire region extending into the Middle East. At last, we have great hope that President Trump's administration will have no patience for the Ethiopian regime that's committing genocide, waging ethnic war, and causing regional instability, and that a new era of freedom is coming for America, for Ethiopia, and for the world. God bless America, God bless Ethiopia, and God bless the Amhara people.
