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/
Thank you Seyoum Teshome for shining light in darkness! When a tree is very small, you can remove it using your hands without any challenges. But you are going to need something much bigger to cut down a grown big tree! Don’t wait until something becomes a national issue! 1/
It is only in #Ethiopia where refugees are allowed to leave the camps and live wherever they like, own weapons, and even getting recruited by terrorist organizations to fight the gov’t that’s taking care of them!

She is totally right! When you have a refugee population higher than the host community, you’ll have a problem! Leave alone the fact that those refugees are armed and are collaborating with Gatluak Buom who’s the leader of #GLF terrorist group. The #GoE should understand that 1/
Gatluak Boum is not fighting for any other reasons, but to make #Gambella an independent country, which fulfills the main and long term plan of creating the “Greater Naath country”. They’re not going back to S.Sudan! Those refugees are in the same boat with the TPLF: splitting 2/
Ethiopia into small countries! Even if TPLF is gone, this will stays a threat to the GoE. After few generations, this massive pop’n of refugees will blend in! If they don’t succeed military, with their pop’n, they will use “the constitution” in the future n create a country! 3/
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…
#COVID_SSA Update #Ethiopia - 13 weeks into their 2nd wave. 7,107 new cases last week, one-third⬇️on week 60. So it could be peaking🙏but caution indicated THREAD 1/8 @EPHIEthiopia @abebawfekadu @EthiopianNomad
Caution 1 - cases are falling in Ethiopia, but so are the number of tests performed. The test +ve proportion (>20%) remains much too high overall 2/8
Caution 2 - regional data issued by @EPHIEthiopia (latest to 18/4/21) indicates that while incidence *may* have peaked in #Addis it is rising in most other regions (having taken off later) 3/8
This 2019 article, written a year before the ethnofascist #TPLF launched war on #Ethiopia, exposes the rampant #rape &sexual violence that #women of #Tigray suffered from the rapist TPLF gang. The defeated criminal TPLF "men" are continuing their rape now!

This region is known to possess many untapped resources.These include large deposits of gold and other minerals,as well as fertile land,ample water,rivers,forests and abundant wildlife.
In the past 30 years, the people of Gambella have been largely denied or otherwise illegally excluded from the utilization of these resources in their own region.
As a result, they have suffered egregious human rights abuses, forced displacement, politically based imprisonment, especially of leaders, the destruction or loss of land, property and infrastructure, as well as environmental degradation.
