After thirty years of stretch, an opportunity to repair the fate and politics of the people of #Amhara is on our doorstep. One way or the other, this is a make it or break it a shot. Even if our representatives in politics and our elites in a scholarly position don't seem to
understand the urgency of unearthing a way out of a generational backlog of political problems for our people, it is now more than ever to stand up and rectify our fate with them or without them. This must be the last time for the people of #Amhara to carry the burden of the
political insanity of our country by themselves alone. It must have been a collective responsibility for all in the first place even if things always proved the contrary. In this short period of political crisis, we have witnessed slander after slander against our people by so
About negotiations
===============
Now, negotiation is the talk of the town. I am eagerly awaiting what would be the outcome and response of our government.
As it was difficult to speculate how things were gone astray back then, It is impossible to speculate even today either.

Nonetheless, we need to make our fear and uncertainty known to everyone for the record.

31 years ago, we have forfeited our political disposition due to lack of representation in the transition period as our people were disregarded with futile and at the same time deceitful
accusations as the ruling elite. Our leaders in #ANDM were so much rubbish, they swapped and traded our people's existence, identity, integrity, and power for their political position and personal remuneration. Not only them but also the elite, the learned man of society were
Everyday a new fresh hell with this guy.
Now he is gaslighting the starving people of Wollo, TPLF 10s if not 100s of thousands of hostages, telling the world that he is trying to help the very people whose homes his forces have burned, whose food his forces have stolen.

And that this is somehow Abiy Ahmed Ali's fault, because with this guy everything is always Abiy Ahmed Ali's fault.
There is a strange joy that senior members of the TPLF seem to take in placing people in impossible moral quandaries.

The TPLF army invaded Wollo, found itself surrounded, attacked the civilian population, displaced much of it, but is now holding the remaining population as hostages.
The ENDF is in a bind because if it attacks it risks those remaining being used as human shields.

I was in my father’s birthplace (‘#Al_Ansha Meda’, between ‘#Boru_Meda’ & ‘#Kuta_Ber’, some 20 minutes drive from #Dessie) with my Dad two months ago. There are more than 1,400+ households in the area who have been deprived of electricity. #Wollo #GERD #AccesstoElectricity
I am not sure they will get electricity when #GERD starts. The residents bitterly complain that the current and previous administration deliberately ignored their plea to access road and electricity despite thier interest to co-finance it. #GoodGovernance #InclusiveGrowth
The paradox is that there is electricity across their village near the main road. Besides, there is also a construction (residential houses )near their village & they are frustrated why they were left behind. #GoodGovernance #InclusiveGrowth #Wollo #KutaBer #AlAnshaMeda #BoruMeda
#Ethiopia — As early as 1964 there were reports of extensive hunger in #Wollo province; chronic food deficits continued throughout the decade. Warnings and urgent requests for food brought very little response.
It would not be until a television documentary, "The Unknown Famine," assembled by journalist Jonathan Dimbleby, was broadcast on the British television network @ITV in October 1973 that the silence surrounding the #Wollofamine was broken.
Consequently, when after years of poor rainfall in #Wollo the 1971 rains did not come at all, despite sharp warnings from local administrators, there was no sense of urgency in the central government. A year and two months after aid requests, thousands began dying of starvation
