Abiy’s governement of the infantile OLF and its almost beast-like conduct leaves, just one option- that is countering their blatant aggression, with matching resistance.
OLF men are liars and opportunists without any moral compass. Even those who have had the privilege of good education remain, the same old primitive beings.
Their sense of inferiority is justified. They are utterly incapable of transcending from their stunning backwardness.
What else can explain their marvelled stupidity than accusing Menelik, dead over a century ago for injustices which the OLF itself manufactured, while seemingly allying with TPLF which despises the Oromos as non-humans.
The OLF men including their born-again man of God, Abiy is a criminal, who will one day be tried for the heinious crimes they have committed in the name of Oromos.
The Oromo youth, have been misled and miseducated by OLF for years by being fed lies about Amaras. Time will tell whether unjustly.maligned Amaras will tolerate them any longer.
