Here is why I believe the very large part of #Amhara/#Ethiopia political, religious media, academic, business, art elites continue to be a cause for innocent Amharas getting slaughtered all over #Ethiopia.
❗Thread 2/10
Their toxic rhetoric, their idiotic alliances with elements, who're dangers to #Amhara people like #IsaiasAfwerki & @AbiyAhmedAli their unending love & nostalgia of medieval times kings & princes earned the #Amhara people enemies across #Ethiopia & made it a target
❗Thread 3/10
Its political "leaders" organize lawless bandits like 'Fano', and send them to all directions to wreck havoc on peoples of #Tigray#Gumuz#Oromia and made the people friend-less, ally-less and made #Amhara people target of unending attack.
❗Thread 4/10
Its academic elites, instead of searching solutions for the youth to be better schooled, for the old to be better taken care of, for farmers to get better harvest, for traders to get better opportunities to trade, they justify lawlessness & cover up barbarism.
❗Thread 5/10
Its business elites, instead of legitimate business practices, they entirely engaged in exploitation of #Amhara youth to their greed they bath with #Amhara blood by as far as going to tell young #Amhara to eat human flesh to have their business empire maintained.
❗Thread 6/10
Its media elites, engage in inciting violence wrapped up in hateful rhetoric and false narration in the process creating a society that is direction-less & at war with everyone & with itself. Their ONLY motive is clicks & views & the money that comes with it.
❗Thread 7/10
Its religious elites have ENTIRELY abandoned to be moral guides and are engaged to be cheerleaders of the bandits that political elites created, going as far as to say "let the devil rule us" & proved to be the worst moral leaders anyone has ever seen.
❗Thread 8/10
Its art elites are ABSOLUTELY without artistic integrity, spout violent lyrics, songs, false "historical" narrations, (which some of them sound right out of Star Trek universe) inciting hate & violence & peddling smut, bankrupting moral clarity of #Amhara society.
❗Thread 9/10
In the middle of all these, not only #Amhara people are kept in the dark & led over the cliff, these awful elites earned them enemies everywhere in the country, they get slaughtered by armed groups, who couldn't get at the elites & take out their anger at civilians.
❗Thread 10/10
This is ABSOLUTELY NOT to absolve the armed groups (OLA or OPDO (@AbiyAhmedAli) or any other) from their part of murdering civilians & making innocents' death a "football" in their sick game, but to say the primary enemy of #Amhara people is its own elites.
❗Thread 1/10
It is a depressing day for me!
To hear that #UN declared famine in #Ethiopia, on top of rape, murder, foreign invasion & wanton murder om #Tigray has been the most bitter pill to swallow.
❗Thread 2/10
As a very young, FOB in America, I remember watching 2000 Sydney Olympics, when Ethiopian athletes won their races, the broadcast cutting away to 1984/95 famine to remind viewers of the #Ethiopia they came from. My heart used to sink with embarrassment than joy.
❗Thread 3/10
During those days, I endured crude jokes about "famished Ethiopians", as if there is NOTHING more than that about a country and people, where I came from. That was also the time, #Ethiopia was invaded by the same man, #IsaiasAfwerki that's causing this misrey today
Thread 1
A lesson to the barbaric #UnityForEthiopia club.
These are same people whose churches & mosques you desecrated, raped, murdered, looted. Yet, when #Tegaru capture mostly naive, child soldiers you sent to do these things, #Tegaru see them as what they are. Human beings.
Thread 2
These young people, have been driven to war for your fascistic goal & unquenchable thirst to rule over others. You forced them to kill their brothers, rape their sisters, desecrate their churches & mosques. You made them POW in their own country.
Thread 3
As you see in these clips, no matter how much your crimes are unspeakably fascistic and barbaric in #Tigray, your barbarism is not being paid in kind. Learn from these civilized folks you intend to destroy! #Ethiopia
Dear @befeqe
Thread 1
It's important to learn from history of the world that fascists NEVER win. They wreck havoc. They kill (Oh boy! do they know how to kill?) But, there is NO WHERE in history, where they won. When they lose, they lose in a fantastically humiliating manner!
Thread 2
Just like only flag colors & Teddy Afro song brings your lot together, they loved symbolism (The Swastika, the lifting left hand high salute the flag etc.) That is because other than those emotion triggering trivial matters, there's very little that brings them together.
Thread 3
Their HUGE commonality was HATE! In the case of Nazis, for example it was the hate of Jews most of all. And they came up with all sort of "creative" way to murder & torture Jews. Just like you came up with horrific kind of rape, looting and murdering #Tegaru
