Being Nilotic (Dark skin) in #Ethiopia
Growing up in #Gambella, I have always been curious about the second-class citizen treatment the #Anuak people have always faced. We were never seen or treated equally with the rest of lighter skinned highlanders. The same thing could be 1/

said for the dark-skinned people of #Benishangul who have also faced genocide and mistreatments from the #TPLF and Derg regime. Why are the Nilotic treated differently in Ethiopia? This goes back to the Abyssinian Empire. During the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie in Ethiopia,2/
It is sad and heartbreaking indeed! Instead of disarming the #GLF soldiers who are hiding with all their weapons in Cangkwaar, 01 Kebele (Newland), and Beherbereseboch around Donbosco area, the TPLF agents running #Gambella are disarming the very people who defeated…
the OLF invaders last time. Why are they only targeting the kebeles that most the Anuaks and Amhara lives? Frankly, these areas were the ones that the OLF attacked last time.I guess they’re giving their friends a good time to hide their weapons properly, and also paving the way…
A deep 🧵 on @moporobbie music: I will be taking a brief respite from what has been 6 months of focus on the #RussianInvasion & support for #Ukraine to announce some #MotionPotion stuff. Honestly feeling crappy since 🇺🇦 gets no breaks & very little to hear other than shelling.
2) The timing is awful since 50+ #Azovstal defenders, some of the modern world's most heroic warriors were murdered recently in order to cover up the fact that they had been abused & tortured by the #Russianterrorists. & here I sit, safe & sound in 🇺🇸 posting about music. 😰
3) Please be patient with me & know that this brief detour back to the person I have been for 25 years: a musician, DJ & event world professional, is in no way distracting me from the needs of the brave humans fighting for my freedom & way of life in Ukraine. My 💙 is with you.

From 1991 to 2015 the following results of massacres happened across Oromia, Benishangul, and the SNNPR region of Guraferda against the people of #Amhara which were the crime amounting to ethnic cleansing and genocide. All was done by design.

We #Amhara ppl love #Ethiopia more than any other but unfortunately fake Ethiopianists hide among us & serve injustice to all #Ethiopians. There is nothing special #Amharas received in the last 5 decades. In fact, we get the opposite which is hatred & #AmharaGenocide! Now we 🤔
Being an #Amhara nationalist has nothing to do with separatism. Our grievances are being ignored & this undeniable fact is the main reason why #Ethiopia is going through this endless cycle of civil war. Fake Ethiopianists & extreme nationalists are the cancers of #Ethiopia 💚💛❤️
#Amhara ppl have not had APPROPRIATE political representation for 5 decades, have been falsely identified as targets of oppression hence HATE & #AmharaGenocide, were ACTIVELY fighting for minority rights & equality during the student movement in the late ‘60s WITHOUT any credit!

Their most recent action was against #TPLF invasion of Amhara lands, looting, rape, and destruction between Summer and Fall of 2021.

Their resistance was re-invigorated after the botched abduction of the leader of the Wolkait-Tegede-Telemt Amhara Identity Advocacy Committee, Col. Demeke Zewdu (now vice governor of Wolkaite) in Gonder, which led to #TPLF downfall, coupled to the Oromo youth movement. 3/5
