Currently the biggest threat to Ethiopia's unity is Oromo extremism which vehemently rejects Ethiopia as a country & by extension mainstream Ethiopian history in lieu of a revisionist political narrative in which the Alpha & the Omega are Emperor Menelik II. This shortsighted...
...perspective uses an extremely superficial dichotomy to label any dissenting voice or political figure as "Amhara" including the current ruling party OPDO/OPP. It also seeks to monopolize oppression & reduces it to an ethnic phenomenon neglecting contextual factors & issues...
...of class (both pre- & post-feudal). There is also a tendency to spread alternative facts & baseless propaganda which scapegoats "Amhara". It's a worldview which seeks to unite ethnic Oromo under a system of thinking that portrays them as victims that're justified in any &...
...all actions while Amhara are expansionist, authoritarian extremists which seek to continually inflict harm upon ethnic Oromo because of their identity. This goes as far as labelling the monarchy & Derg as " Fascist Amhara" governments & all Amhara residing outside of the...
...recently demarcated Amhara region (EPRDF-era) as illegal settlers deserving of ethnic cleansing. This dangerous outlook & its nuances are largely derived from TPLF's ideological approach which utilized the same core principles instead for ethnic Tigrayans. In fact one of...

...conspiracy to eventually annex West Gonder & Metekel as part of Greater Tigray & now Oromo expansionist & their allies want to realize their own version of expansionism in Greater Oromia to eventually secede from Ethiopia. They want to annex parts of Shewa, Wollo & BSG but...

...as well as any future land grabs to target Amhara (& other groups) in other regions such as Metekel (formerly part of Gojjam) & Dera (formerly part of Shewa). In fact, the regions of Oromia & BSG were historically non-existent nor was there ever unified entity that was...
...remotely close to these current "nation's" within Ethiopia. These were engineered artificially by TPLF purely for political & strategic purposes. In fact regions like Wellega (now split between BSG & Oromia) was formerly administered under Gojjam & in medieval times, the...
