Hagos,I don't understand why you are mentioning tribe.we are fade up of this kind of non sense.Let us call all of them hodam insted of Amharas or gurages.other wise we will start to swim like woyanes.

Merchaw,
Hagos is correct in calling "Amharas, Gurages and others ethinic groups" HODAMS.
Here is the reason why:
The Tigrayans support the Adwa-mafia familly (Weyane) for ethnic reasons. Yes, purely, for ethnic reasons. Mind you most Tigrayans benefit nothing from Weyane but, they still support the mafias because they are Tigrayans.
On the other hand, the FEW Amhara, Oromo…etc support Weyane for a benefit, money, land, house, in short, for their HOD. There fore saying HODAM Amara, HODAM Oromo…etc is not wrong.

I agree with #2. let's just be inward-looking too. Those at home who have no choice joined the army in Ethiopia. Those who have choice are in the Western world. Thus people like me (who did not fully commit for struggle) but living a comfortable life and writing comments like this are more HODAM than those people No. #1 called "hodam". If #1 and #3 have fully committed to the struggle, it is OK; but I do not think there could be any gain from labelling people who could be potential allies. Why don't you give them benefit of the doubt. Perhaps they did not get the right leadership to struggle for the appropriate cause?

No. 5, you said it well. Hodams are those who do not want to struggle themselve, but simply commenting and provoking others to struggle for them. Struggle is not as simple as just commenting and insulting in the internet. #1 and #3, pls ask your mind about what you contributed in the fight for freedom, instead of insulting.
