1/18 🇪🇹 The Ethiopian government, led by the Prosperity Party and primarily representing the Oromo ethnic group, has been accused of using starvation as a weapon against the Amhara region. In this thread, we'll explore the reasons behind this troubling issue. #Ethiopia #Amhara
2/18 🌍 Ethiopia's diverse ethnic makeup has given rise to ethnic tensions and political rivalries. The Amhara region, home to the Amhara ethnic the group has been particularly affected by these dynamics. #EthnicTension #AmharaRegion

Comparative research points to both endogamous & exogamous factors contributing to party instability. Differences in local constituencies, ideological outlooks, & policy preferences, as well as variations in ethnopolitical identities, are all factors that may undermine consensus.
Furthermore, the governance structure of the country may also impinge on party stability, because federal models may be more divisive in nature than unitary states.
Short @AbiyAhmedAli: We defeated #TPLF (june tah) completely & #Eritrea is in #Ethiopia only because we are at war with TPLF whom we have defeated completely 4 month ago. Mayyybe our soldiers & Isaias did a little raping here and there but TPLF ATTACKED NORTHERN COMMAND!
Thread: What do we know so far about the #war on #Tigray in #Ethiopia, which has been running for nearly 2 months now? In this thread I will sum up some of the key developments.
First, the so-called “law and order” operation, which @PMAbiyAhmed declared completed one month ago, has not yet reached its basic objectives, and it is doubtful that it ever will. Hence, the war in #Tigray will continue indefinitely, or until a political settlement is reached.
My take on @AbiyAhmedAli‘s recent perplexing & dictatorial actions within one week:
Following the closed door meeting by the govt (see 👇), #Abiy had a meeting with opposition parties on 1st May to discuss current affairs such as the election saga. 1/6

Four options were presented by the govt at the meeting, although it appeared from @AbiyAhmedAli’s responses to comments raised by the opposition parties indicated that the decision was predetermined, therefore the meeting seemed to have been held for a PR stunt. 2/6
The govt invited opposition parties to the meeting with less than 24-hours notice & didn't provide them with an agenda – they're merely told "to discuss current affairs". They heard about the four options at the meeting & were no indication to have further meeting with them. 3/6

Will Tigray leave or remain in #Ethiopia?
#TPLF's calculated moves so far could assist with predicting the likely future of #Tigray.
The current TPLF (since #Abiy came to power) had been carefully following procedures when it comes to dealing with the federal govt. 1/12

#TPLF had been releasing a number of statements/announcements, both written & verbal, which may seem pointless to the juvenile, naive and/or intentionally deaf ears but they're calculated & sensible than anyone could imagine. Every statements had some reasoning behind it. 2/12
1/8 Thread on #Article39 & its consequence
Now that the #ProsperityParty is formed, which seems to be the final phase of formalisation of the “#SoftCoup, it's worthwhile to discuss about what will happen to #Article_39 which is one of the key sections of the current constitution

2/8 Some may feel that the #Article39 matter is a sensitive/difficult issue which shouldn’t be discussed now. However, the ongoing unpredictable & confusing moves by the current govt makes this matter highly critical which needs to be discussed/considered now than ever before.
3/8 So, here is my two cents on the likely scenarios & consequences should the government attempts to abolish/amend #Article39:
