First thing we must and have to do is see ourselves as Ethiopians, when we consider ourselves as Gurage, Amhara, Tigre, Oromo, or whatever first we don't work and fight in the best interest of Ethiopia our country. We just advance our own agendas, and we are no better than whom we are blaming for all of Ethiopia's problems. We have to be united as Ethiopians first and then we can fight all enemies foreign and domestic. How can we fight a tyranical government when we are divided??? Our forefathers ousted the British, Italians, and others using crude weapons against sophisticated militaries because they were Ethiopians first that had pride and love for their country as a whole. Let us evaluate the success of Eritrea's separation from Ethiopia for example. Located on the red sea, an ideal location, Eritrea is worst off today than it has ever been. So what does that tell us??? As the old saying goes...United we rise and divided we fall...and my friends all we have been doing is falling...

None of our fathers or forefathers gave an inch of their territory to foreigners but the PM who hates the country he rules and the people he tortures is selling Ethiopia for Sudan, Arabs, so-called investors etc. It is no wonder while Tigrai is expanding while Ethiopia is shrinking and they have never denied that they are a liberation front for Tigrai not Ethiopia.
