Che -Guevara Posted June 22, 2019 This is either false flag operation that gives Abiy and his allies the opportunity to purge their opponents or an actual coup whose eventual goal was Addis Ababa. Either way, this is not looking good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted June 22, 2019 There was assassination attempt on Dr. Ambachew Mekonnen. Other members of top leadership were targeted too. There's still firefight in Bahir Dar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted June 22, 2019 The Amhara are the last group to overthrow a regional government. With Addis and federal government nearby, it is difficult to make a coup and stay in power. In my opinion, this was a coup heading Addis halted in its tracks in Bahir Dar or war between Amhara officers purging one another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holac Posted June 22, 2019 This is serious. If the Amhara leader is wounded, Abiy could be in trouble if he doesnt get this under control quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted June 22, 2019 Unconfirmed reports: Gunfire in Addis, the Army Chief of Staff killed and the head of intelligence arrested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted June 22, 2019 The Army Chief of Staff is Tigray guy. Maybe some of the Amhara are allying themselves with the TPlf. This is dangerous. Che, Please keep the the updates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted June 22, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
