Peace, Abiy might be trying to start his own version Qey Shibbir (red terror).

Kheyr is flying to Dhuusomareeb.

We lack imagination!

Strong men need healthy opposition,

Tillamook, The Tigray are not only well armed but they are well-trained and organized. Suldaanka, At this stage, it does not matter who is what when it comes to Amharas and Oromos, neither of them can force unity. The politics in the country has been highly racialized and militias and weapons are galore. One group would have to obliterate all others if they want to assume power without the consent of others.

The man who supposedly carried out the plot

Statement from PM's office

Tillamook, I am hoping against hope considering the gravity of the situation. But if war does come, a balkanized Ethiopia is more preferable than unitary totalitarian one regardless of what group assumes power. Abtigiis and ONLF have tough choices ahead of them. On a side note, I made a bet with our Oodka saying Somaligalbeed will gain independence the before secessionists. I might just win that bet. Galbeedi, Whatever the underlying situation is, it created chaos and even more suspension among the group. This will eventually become unsustainable.

Observer, How well coordinated was this attempt?

Gunfire in multiple cities.

Sure, Galbeedi, the general is indeed a Tigray. I don't remember the ethnicity of the head of Intelligence who is purportedly under arrest. As much as I want to see Ethiopia disintegrate, I hope there is no war. It will be catastrophic for the Horn, specifically for us.

Unconfirmed reports: Gunfire in Addis, the Army Chief of Staff killed and the head of intelligence arrested.

I think before we got into anything, they should finish the constitution and hold GENUINE reconciliation process for all Somalis. If it's hard to stear Somalis if the mistrust continues and qabiil lords exploit that mistrust.
