Ethiopia: Woyane Democracy and Ethnic Federalism: Facts about Ethiopian Population and House of People's Representatives:

Ethiopian Population by Regions (Population and Housing Census Results 2007: 73,918,505)
Oromia: 27,158,471 (36.7%)
Amhara: 17,214,056 (23.3%) about 2 million people (non-amaras who left) were deducted
Somali: 4,439,147 (6.0%) (refugees and internally displaced people from the region, and also rural population were not included or counted).
Tigray: 4,314,456 (5.8%) Agew, Kunamas

SNNP: 10,377,028 (20.4%)
Afar: 1,411,092 (1.9)
Benishangul Gumuz: 670,847 (0.9)
Gambella: 306,916 (0.4%)
Harar: 183,344 (0.2%)
Addis Ababa: 2,738,248 (3.7%)

Ethiopian House of People's Representatives (546 Seats)

Benishangul Gumuz: 9 Seats (2%)
Gambella: 3 Seats (1%)
Harar: 1 Seat (0%)
Addis Ababa: 23 Seats (4%)

Please see the bellow figures on the Ethiopian Justice and Woyane Game;
Tigray population: 4,314,456 (5.8%), but with 38 seats (7%) in the House of People's Representatives (please this compare with Somali)
Somali population: 4,439,147 (6.0%), but with 23 seats (4%) in the House of People's Representatives
Afar population: 1,411,092 (1.9), but with 8 seats (1%) in the House of People's Representatives (please compare this with Addis Ababa)
Addis Ababa population: 2,738,248 (3.7%), but with 23 Seats (4%) in the House of People's Representatives (please compare this with Somali and Afar)


these figures shows Ethiopian Justice and Woyane Game in Ethiopia. I this a justice or something good? who is responsible about this? who will correct these mistakes and how?

These figures show that, Oromos, SNNP and Amharas are majority in the House of People's Representatives. But their performance and role are zero. So, what’s wrong with the Oromos, SNNP and Amhara representatives, leaders and communities in Ethiopia? The solution is to invite the Eritreans to come to Ethiopia and solve their problems.

In the current government, Oromia got 178 seats (33%), SNNP: 123 Seats (23%), while Amaras are 138 Seats (25%). But, they are out of the game. So, what’s wrong with these communities and their leaders? They should bring the changes or support Woyane. Let’s think critically about their current situation and future, especially with the coming government and in the new Ethiopia after Meles and Woyane regime.

Amare, you are right. Thus, Ethiopia's case is not ethnic federalism, and not coupled with real autonomy and reforms can be; “say no to their fake Ethiopianism – Tigranism for interest of Tigray people only”. The problem is that, many countries including South Sudan and Somalia are adopting this fake Ethiopian ethnic federalism “as a model or experience. So, if the teacher is selfish, the students will not succeed.

In the Ethiopia case, Woyane can't survive a day without support from Oromo, Amhara and Debub. So, these communities should think about the rule and future and act soon!

Yakumekhegnaa,

This is very true. The regime has been surviving for this long is mainly because of the support it enjoys from Amhara, Oromo and debub nationalities as you mentioned. But can you answer then why the majority of Oromo, Amhara and Debub give their support to this regime, and why fraction of you who belong to the above ethnies especially those of you in exile trying to convince the world as if the regime doesn't have an iota of support from the general public? If you sincerely believe that Woyane could not have survived a day without Amhara, Debub and Oromo as you put it, then I see a confliction on your other daily thesis in which you demonise and portray Woyane as the mohter's of all evil.

EPRDF, you are right. The Woyane regime has been surviving for all the time (about 20 years) because of the support from Amhara, Oromo and Debub nationalities. The Diaspora and political leaders from communities are the ones who complained about Woyane problems and the need for the changes. However, the key questions are whether the majorities from Oromo, Amhara and Debub nations and nationalities are with or not with the regime; why they give their support to this regime is there disagreement among the leaders and politicians from these nations? Let’s see the feedback from the readers who are from Oromo, Amhara and Debub nations and nationalities.

Oromos are neither happy with the current establishment nor with the past. The past rulers had oppressed and marginalized oromos by not allowing them to be who they really are. As a result of systematic oppression, oromos language, culture and way of lives remained under developed. It gave few previlleges and status to those oromos who had divorced them selves from who they were. The current regime also is doing the same mistakes except this one gave a window dressing to oromos problems and concern. The pseudo federal system does not gurranttee oromos to decide its destiney. Like all the previous rullers, this one also continues to repeat the same mistakes. In my openion, there is no oromos person who supports the wayane regimes except those hodams. OPDO'S hands are tide and it can not decide by itself what is good for oromos. All the decisions are made by wayane. For instance, OPDO cadre can detain oromo individuals but he or she has no power to let the detainee go free. All the almighty power is in the hands of wayane, hence, oromos situation has never improved what so ever. What we see on the EVT is just another wayanes propoganda.
Oromos believe in reall democracy where every ones rights and freedom are respected and equality in every aspects of lives is trully practiced. If true democracy is not there, the future prospect for oromos is to get its god given right by any means necessary. At this moment, oromos are just watching the on going situation both inside and out side the country. Oromos consider wayanes as invaders not as liberators,thus, oromos do not support the current regime at all. Prove me wrong if i am wrong.

Mureta, thanks for the constructive feedback, which is very different what Amaras and Tigarains post in this website. However, these questions should be asked Oromos and they must prove things in their context. The same is for Amara readers, but I know they are busy with something like anjera and berberi issues.

In the current regime, Oromos, Debub and Amharas are majority in all governmental aspects and setcors. These communities have got 81% of total seats in the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives (Oromia: 178 Seats (33%), Amhara: 138 Seats (25%) and SNNP: 123 Seats (23%)). So, let them tell us, if these members / MPs are from them and for them or not, and whether they are happy with the current regime or not. If not, let the join Ogaden, Gambella and Afar people. Otherwise the situation of the Omaras, Oromos and Debubos is what they call "if you cannot beat them join them".

You are right and there is a need for national and international actions to protect the Oromos and their culture from Amaras in the past and Tigarians currently. In Hadama and other parts of Ormiyaa, Tigarains run the gold and minerals, and also sugar and coffee and Jat are, while Oromos are resposnbile for stone and sands and militia issues. This is what people called “the Fake Woyane Democracy and Ethnic Federalism”, and Oromos and other must be happy or take actions like what Ogaden, Gambella and Afar people did.

This note is for Oromos, Amahars and Debubos people:
Population:
Oromia: 27,158,471 (36.7%)
Amhara: 17,214,056 (23.3%) about 2 million people (non-amaras who left) were deducted
SNNP: 10,377,028 (20.4%)
Tigray: 4,314,456 (5.8%) inclduing Agew, Kunamas and others.

House of People's Representatives
Oromia: 178 Seats (33%)
Amhara: 138 Seats (25%)
SNNP: 123 Seats (23%)
Tigray: 38 Seats (7%)

But Oromos, Amahars and Debubos are nothing, while Tigrains are bosses. There must something with these people or with Tigrains. There is a need for urgent support from Eritrians to help Ethiopia.
