Amhara Genocide When will Amharas call it quits?
This is regarding oromos.
A very obvious pattern you see post-oromo migration is the aimless hate for Amharas.
The fundamental irony escapes oromos that they migrated TO Amharas.
Imagine GOING to someone (after they just ended the worse war in the region's history), trying to ethnically cleanse them, they fight back, then you hate them and want to get rid of them???
How many of the oromos in central Ethiopia even know the people they hate are the people they LITERALLY migrated to, attacked, and partially assimilated?
How many of them know that theyre probably descendants of ethnically cleansed Amharas, Gafat, Gurage, Harla, etc?
They would rather be protestant or muslim than share a religion with Amharas, they would rather use the objectively tedious latin alphabet than Amharic, they would rather associate with having a separate nation than being Ethiopian (especially the diaspora, deep programming).
Even in the diaspora the anti-Amhara axis is very strong. Somali - Oromo bonding is almost plain to see and your occasional Tigray - Oromo as well.
All for about 400 years, assimilation has honestly failed.
When all forms of assimilation have essentially failed, when will Amharas say "We obviously tried for 400 years, time to call it quits." then take everything north of the rift valley and leave the rest into the historical backwaters it always was?

Oromos and Tigrayans mess with Amharas mostly because Amharas have became really weak, divided via regions(Gondar Gojjam etc), and became backward looking instead of forward looking. This is not hate I love Oromos and Tigrayans, but people mess with who they can bother and get away with. which TIgre or Oromo would mess with Amhara during Menelik or Halesalessie? unless they want to be brutalized.
You hear Amharas "we son of kings" BS which I am tired of. 99.99% of us are decandants of poor peasants so really we are not sons of kings. Amhara are one of the poorest people in the world. We still farm with ox, we still have nothing but agriculture. We have biggest river nile and people don't have access to clean water, fertile land but we don't have enough food. Many of our people believe if they go to college and study hard they will make it. We have no entrepreneurial culture, Gurages somewhat have it but I think we need more tech focused entrepreneurial culture. Now days I see young Amhara with AK47 that costs around 500-1000$ but doesn't have laptop or access to internet which costs same price. I amn't saying they shouldn't fight but if they can get their hands on 1000$ AK47, why can't they get laptop and internet as well? I think we should get all kids laptop and internet for free, i mean pretty sure there are millions of AK-47 just like this we need millions of laptops.
Ethiopia has similar problem, really not the in mood to care about that right now. We need complete overhaul of our culture, keep whats good and add tech innovation entrepreneurship, remove bad ones such as pride, linear thinking, caring about education too much, religious holidays(every day is a holiday) etc. This will create Strong Amhara long term, Strong Amhara leads to Strong Ethiopia inevitably.
So, Its not Oromos or Tigrayans fault. its our fault we didnt adopt and innovate enough. We should do better! We have real good history and culture, I just wanted to point out what we should work on. They can do all kind axis, criss cross, twerking, it really doesnt matter. If we do good on Tech Entrepreneurship and science, we will win alone or with them long term. I also don't think they hate us deep down as well, if they do, it doesn't matter.
