Now I’m having nightmare for the old country. Conflicts laced with devotion to anyone of the major religions is the last thing that country needs. Somebody, I said somebody, better stop this! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!!!1
One thing is certain as long as Abiy Ahmed holds power, there would continue to be mass death, distractions and mayhem, guaranteed!!
The Amhara would be the main focus of these, others such as the Orthodox, the Muslims continue to be targeted.
Therefore, they have all to be united and fight to get rid of Abiy Ahmed. . .
