galbeedi Posted June 23, 2018 Exactly. The internal purge has begun. Abiy knows the craft well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted June 23, 2018 Here is how it is done. You cast a wide net that will catch both the guilty and the innocent. Every Tigrinya will be a suspect. They must prove themselves to be innocent. I thought this Abiy guy was looking for nobel peace prize first and then purge the opponents later. OO must seek asylum some where.

Dahireeto Posted June 23, 2018 I agree with Galbeedi here. The Tigray security structure can kill Abiy any day, any minute if they wanted. This was done by Abiy himself. It may backfire on him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far officially is the police are being investigated for too lax of security. The Federal police said that many people who had staff that should have not been allowed were everywhere and this is weakness of the police. They will probably retire them or send them some other part of the country. Grapevine: It was female that threw the bomb (confirmed by police now) and it was paid mercenaries who do not know by face or identity those who sent them. By phone from another country. lol There is just too many players and mostly connected to Eritrea or Egypt that PM seemed to be friendly lately. Lay of the land internally: Oromo mostly support, but organized forces that question his actions too close to Gurage G7 groups and Amhara groups Tigray mostly support but organized forces that question going too far in bringing Oromos everywhere so fast lol Somali and Afar main red line no interference inside kilils. Somali kilil is so protective that some official said "we would like to get rid of khat business, but as long as is running through or in our territory, let a Somali run that too" lol Amhara is all over the map since they have 5 million in Oromia they don't want to do anything. Yet the Amhara mostly are saying that Tigray is being replaced by Oromo. We lost again and next might come the Somali....kind of hopeless situation. South is mess except the Gurage who are counting on him helping them displace Tigray from business. That was their job and monopoly in Ethiopia befre 1991. Somali in Ethiopia is not known for business and now when few were starting.... The job looks like inside job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They broadcasted on TV Radio and the PM spoke on TV lol Eritrea was first to condemn and most repeated on TV Radio of Eritrea condemning and then came Ginbot 7 condemning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted June 23, 2018 2 hours ago, Che -Guevara said: Addis Ababa police is for too lax security. Apparently there were close to a million people, somebody said 5 million a police commissioner no less, but the area is known and a million should be enough. Ex Mengistu officials are most ardent supporters. Anybody but Tigray is their motto. Easy to see whay Tigray was main force to destroy 1/2 million army with some latest at the time weapons and threw them out totally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old_Observer Posted June 23, 2018 7 minutes ago, Ducale said: Oromo were already at a disadvantage. They have the numbers but divided at the core in religion as well as how ethiopia should be reshaped. Social media propaganda and the falls image of one oromia will not be enough to make the tplf come apart at the seams. I doubt if oromos can pull off this blind revolution to benefit "oromo". And with the pace this abiy guy is going, they might just succeed at bring the roof down on themselves. Oromo are not ready to take the helm of a country in a very volatile geographical location. Especially in their emotional current condition. But America, UAE, Saudi, Egypt are supporting fully and for America the Oromo is more amenable than Tigray who never left Sudan friendship and China while serving America as well. You are right there is already some signs the Oromo will not stay united. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maakhiri1 Posted June 23, 2018 or Christian fanatics, who don't like this fraud Abiy with muslim name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted June 24, 2018 19 minutes ago, maakhiri1 said: or Christian fanatics, who don't like this fraud Abiy with muslim name. Believe it or not one of the criticism on Tigray was they have too many Moslem high officials and Mosques have mushroomed since they came to power. People are so ignorant to realize that Moslems achieved their part by participating in the struggle. Many in Ethiopia are ignorant to realize that its the Moslems who protect the country from Extremism and Wahabism. Except in some Oromo areas, the Saudis don't support anything in Somali and Afar areas. Turkey has done more in Afar areas than any other that can be called Islamic country.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted June 24, 2018 Eritrea has a motive because the Eritrean don't really want peace with tigray. And ofcourse amhara group ginbot7 EPPF and other radical amhara groups who want to reinstall the monarchy. I don't think Ahmed him self is behind it. It's to easy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duufaan Posted June 24, 2018 opening up Ethiopia could be too dangerous. I do not think even sponsors are looking for complete freedom. today it is Oromo who wants the political power and the economic freedom. That is understood and they will get sooner rather later. Are Muslims going to have the freedom of exercising their religion? Adis has only a handful of masjids. But any EID day a half million people show up. With the new freedom, how it will affect Muslims, overall they are most discriminated against historically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted June 24, 2018 Muslims are not opressed islam flourishes in Ethiopia there are so many moques madrassas in Ethiopia the era of Ethiopia being anti Islam it's over. The orthodox church is diminishing in Ethiopia. The gallas want economic freedom They want political freedom more power more autonomy they have been opressed for to long. We yet have to see how opdo and abiye Ahmed performs for the gallas in Ethiopia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
