Old_Observer Posted March 5, 2018 Amin Amir becomes more of politician less of creative artist cartoonist when it comes to Ethiopia. Its always crude when it comes to Ethiopia. But then he is cartoonist so it is all fair. Even his bias shows on his cartoon. I asked five Somalis from Mogadishu who they think the Ethiopian minister is and 3 said Tigray and 2 said Amhara. That is how ignorant people can be. I had to google and show them another article the minister is a Somali. Amin Amir also used the psychological propaganda old image of Ethiopians. I am sure he would completely change his mind if he was to spend time in Somali kilil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maakhiri1 Posted March 5, 2018 very funny, he highlights the key points, and whether Ethiopian guy was ethnic Somali does Not make a difference. SL has sold their soul for recognition, we will see if Tigrays ever respond and reward them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His images on the head are pointing always to something..lets leave it at that. What I meant to say is there is all along the spectrum of Somali from Arab looking to Southern African looking... He always uses same, but now of course he has a stencil hard to change. BTW no indoctrination there is other methods used more effective. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethiopia indeed have beautiful looking pple specially women Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They only knew of one or two. That is it. Now Every Ethiopian province knows what a Somali generally looks like. Every university has 100 or more Somali.
