"Habesha", it's an old exonym (from "Habash," used historically by outsiders like South Arabians) referring broadly to the Christian, Semitic-speaking highland peoples of the Horn of Africa. It wasn't coined by or specific to Amhara; Amhara rulers used it, after taking power from the Zagwe in 1270. So, not our term, originally.

Another big problem, much of our culture, history, language is in this umbrella term but why use umbrella when we can use our distinct name or country. The problem is in the future, Amhara culture, innovation, history will be stuck there(umbrella term) so we should avoid this. Lets abandon it and focus on Amhara/Ethiopia. Any thoughts?
