Ethiopia’s capital ranked amongst the world’s most polluted major cities.

What do you make of the fresh massacres “Fano” is committing in Horo?

Two contradictory speculations are circulating on social media regarding the killings in Wallaga. On the one hand, you have one group who are convinced that it’s just Amharas being Amharas, and hence they condemn OLA for joining the Tsimdo alliance. On the other, you have Jawar who says it’s the federal government that is orchestrating these killings using clandestine counter-insurgency groups. His argument basically boils down to: “By using his ‘fake Shane or Fano’ to target innocent civilians, Abiy/PP are trying to preempt alliance that OLA is trying to forge with Amhara nationalists.”

I personally am confused. Given that OLA’s alliance with FANO is now public knowledge, why are Fano still targeting innocent Oromos? Or, if the federal government has no hand in this, why does it standby and watch while militants cross into Oromia and kill civilians? If they can mobilize a massive army to encircle Tigray, clearing Amhara militants from Wallaga-Gojjam border should be quite simple.

I just feel sorry for the innocent civilians caught in all this. Yaadnii keessan maal?

What do you think is the most unnecessary thing in our culture?

For me, it’s Gursha. How is feeding me food that is right in front of me a gesture of love? If I was hurt and can’t physically feed myself, please, by all means, feed me. 😂 But if I have two perfectly functioning hands and there’s a full plate of food sitting directly in front of me… why?

I’ve also heard a claim that the whole tradition originated in the Ethiopian royal courts, where the courtiers would feed each other to make sure that no one was being poisoned. If we are feeding each other the food we brought and no one was left behind, either we all die or we live. 😂 This eventually condensed into the societal level and was taken up by the whole country, the story goes. But, like I said, it’s just a claim, and I’m not sure how accurate it is.

What are your thoughts on this?

A Fano militant has a message for us lol

His accent is hilarious too. At times he sounds like like he picked up this Afaan Oromo in Shawa, at other, he sounds like he grew up in Haarargee 😂

Thoughts on Girma Tiruneh?

Apparently, the first thing Dawud requested when he returned to Ethiopia was access to the guy, to probably torture him and then off him. Did you guys know him back in the day?
