Will Ethiopia be a majority Muslim Country?

AT&T,

 

If indeed Muslims are close to 50% of Ethiopian population, as you seem to hint there, then don’t you think Muslims should try coming up with a strategy to take the leadership of Ethiopia, instead of current strategy, which failed to produce any tangible results for the last 50 years?

I will answer you with a question. If somali's are all Muslims, with one language and culture, why are they fighting?

 

Ehtiopians are deeply, deeply divided alond ethnic lines. The amount of hatred between various nationalities is not what one can understand if he hasn't witnessed it on the groung. A Muslim Oromo identifies himself more with an animist Ormo from Guji or Wollega than an Amhara Muslim from Wollo. A Gurage Muslim is unlikely to side with Oromo muslims but will put his eggs with an Amhara christian. I do not expect Muslim identity to develop in Ethiopia.

 

And yes, the christian leadership is supported by the West. Right now, the most powrful Tigre, the cheif of staff of the Ethiopian army is Samora Yunis (formerly Mohamed Yunis). He is a Tigre. He will massacre all Ormo muslims if he sees them as anti-Tigre.

I don't understand about the mentality of oromos surely if they are over 30 million they can form a big rebel group well equipped and armed and tople the tigre regime or better yet the thousands of oromo soldiers in the ethiopian army could desert the army taking their weapons with them but financially the oromo are weak.
