In the dictionary, an imposter is described as " a person who practices deception under an assumed character, identity, or name".
Everything about this man is either a lie, half true or total opposite of what he claims.
If you check the international media, the headline is ' Abiy Ahmed, the first Muslim prime minister of Ethiopia", second everyone will tell you that he is from the largest Ethiopian ethnic group of Oromo.
Well every thing that these headlines proclaim are false. Here are the facts about Mr. Ahmed:
1-He is not a Muslim.
Since this fellow's name is Ahmed ,which is the second name of our Prophet Muhammad SCW, everyone assumes that he must be a Muslim. His father is Muslim but was raised by his mother as protestant which has penetrated most of the western Oromia region which was mostly animist.
2- He is not even a traditional Ethiopian orthodox Christian.
Pentecostal protestantism is a foreign religion in Ethiopia just as the Wahabi sect is foreign to Somalis.
3-He is not full blooded Oromo.His mother who raised him is originally an Ahmara who is raised in Gima, a city founded by the Ahmara.Some even say his mother is Tigray because he speaks Tigrai language as his mother tongue.
4- He is married to a Tigray woman which facilitated his rise in the army. His own biography is revised and changed in order to make him hero among Tigray front and the public. he is proclaimed among those who fought the Derg of Mengistu. The fact is he was 13 or 14 years old when the war against the Derg was raging in 1989/90, yet by the taking page from Somali alphabet movements where everyone claims to be a " MUjaahid" by fighting for his tribe, the Tigray are adding Mr. Ahmed among the list of their ranks . By the time he was in late twenties he was already lieutenant colonel in the Ethiopian army. No one rises that high without being the chosen son of the Tigray front.
5-He is more Tigray than the Oromo he claims.
The Oromo are a mix of 40 million people from different regions of Ethiopia who do not share nothing other than Afan Oromo. Also, many regions were the Oromo speakers became majority has absorbed large minorities who hail from different ethnic groups. As stands today, everyone is claiming Oromo. Even Tigray members who live in these regions join their ranks of Oromo by infiltrating the Oromo political parties. One example is Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu, the foreign minister of Ethiopia. He changed his last name in 2016, and claimed to be Oromo. Now, everyone agrees that he is a Tigray imposter claiming Oromo.
So, he is not a Muslim, Orthodox Christian or even Oromo. Personally , I care less which religion the prime minister belongs. What counts is if the new man is a reformist who is his own man.
In these pages some of our eloquent writers had stated this fact while debating with the Tigray troll resident who who tells the enclave dwellers that everyone from Djibouti to Hargeisa and Jijiga must love the Tigray.
"The religion of Oromo PM the Tigray bring forward is a non-issue. The real issue at hand is for the Oromo to bring forth a leader of their own choosing, not the Tigray establishment. I realize-- after their multitudinous attempts to turn everyone against the Oromo community along ethnic lines have fallen short-- that they're getting desperate, but who gives a damn whether their next stooge is Pentecostal, Orthodox, Muslim or Animist?"
Exactly. THis importer must call an election as soon as possible and vacate the position to someone elected by the people. Political analysts and the real opposition are interested about the who the prime minister should be , but what the next prime minister will able to do. They believe that a prime minister controlled by the Tigray front men will not be able to achieve anything.
They say, "What will the next prime minister be able to do? It makes no difference if this time the prime minister is Oromo so long as Tigray Front member DebreTsion is deputy prime minister and in charge of telecom, finance/economy, security; Tigray Front member Abay Tsehaye is in charge of state affairs; Tigray Front member without portfolio Sebhat Nega is in charge of directing and chairing Tigray Front; Tigray Front Arkebe is in charge of Investments and foreign trade development; Tigray Front Bereket is in charge of banking; Tigray Front Berhane and Workneh are in charge of Foreign Affairs (the latter planted in Oromo party as Oromo having changed his legal name in 2016) and all key positions at Foreign Affairs is in the hands of Tigray Front members; Tigray Front members are in all key positions in the military and security intelligence. The question we need to be asking is, Will the next prime minister be able to form his cabinet irrespective of ethnic quotas simply on qualifications"
This impostor was groomed by the Tigray front for a long time. He was in charge of Ethiopian security agency coordinating with the Americans on the collection of data and other intelligence gathering operations. This agency was established after the invasion of somalia in 2006/07. By claiming to helping America on the war on terror this agency made hundred of millions to the Ethiopian political establishment.
Anyway, this Abiy Ahmed guy will fit well within the bible belt of the southern united states where the republican party has it's biggest base. Folks, for the first time , Ethiopia have jocker who could claim for whatever faith or ethnicity he wishes, yet the most important question is ;Is he a reformer or a Tigray front stooges designed to buy some time for the soon departing Woyaane.
As we speak the Oromo might reject this imposter.
Time will tell.
