Ethiopians are getting ready for our beaches on the Red Sea coast

This single small dam project is bigger than any project ever completed by the PFDJ admin combined.

Breaking: Protests Erupt Over Forced Recruitment In Mekelle

Reports and videos circulating from Mekelle, the capital of the Tigray region Ethiopia
appear to show large crowds confronting vehicles and demanding the release of young people amid allegations of forced recruitment.
According to multiple accounts shared online, residents blocked roads, threw stones at buses, and pleaded for the return of their children. Witnesses allege that young people are being taken against their will for military service, prompting emotional protests from families and local communities.
The footage has sparked widespread concern, with many calling for an independent investigation into the allegations and for the protection of civilians, especially minors, in accordance with international human rights and humanitarian law.
the reported forced recruitment of children or unwilling civilians would constitute a serious violation of international law. Human rights organizations and the international community are being urged to closely monitor the situation, establish the facts, and ensure the protection of civilians.

What do you think? Leaked/Proposed Prosperity Party Constitutional Reforms: What are your thoughts on these massive changes?

The Prosperity Party Central Committee has been convening for a meeting in Adama since yesterday. During this session, the party’s official stance regarding the upcoming National Dialogue was unveiled. The core positions are outlined as follows:

​1. Restructuring the Federal System: The current ethnically-based federal system is to be dismantled, and regions are to be restructured based on geographic proximity and economic integration. (This will amend Article 39 of the Constitution).

​2. Status of Charter Cities: Dire Dawa and Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) will be designated as fully autonomous, independent regional states. (This will amend Article 49 of the Constitution).

​3. Land Ownership Reform: The current constitutional clause declaring land as "the property of the public and the state" will be repealed, transitioning land into private ownership. (This will amend Article 40 of the Constitution).

​4. Transition of the Governance System: The system of governance will shift from a parliamentary model to a "semi-presidential" system. Consequently, the office of the Prime Minister will be dissolved, and the nation will be led by a President elected by Parliament.

​Furthermore, the creation of new regional states will no longer be determined through public referendums as previously practiced. Instead, such proposals will be submitted to Parliament and finalized solely upon the President's signature. This implies that if a specific zone within Oromia wishes to secede to form an independent region or merge with another state, the decision will be executed via a parliamentary vote and presidential assent, bypassing public consultation or popular vote.

​Note: You may have recently observed a document circulating online that outlines a plan to divide the Oromia region into six distinct "zones" or sectors. This move is widely seen as a preliminary step toward dismantling the existing federal structure.

"Tigray" means vassal as per Littmann

The linguistic data provides proof that the very root of the word Tigray translates to vassalage. In the Tigre language, the verbal root ተግረ explicitly means "to be a vassal," the noun ትግሬ/ትግራይ(tigray is explicitly mentioned on the source, I underlined it for you) translates directly to "vassal," and the abstract noun ትግሮት signifies "vassalage", definitions that historically apply to the broader socio-political identity across the region, including Tigray.

The word Tigre/Tigretai is ancient word probably 2000 years old and was used as common identifier between Tigre, Tigrayans and Tigrinyas before they split and as per this evidence it means vassals.

source: (Download here)

This conclusive evidence comes from page 321 of the Wörterbuch der Tigrē-Sprache (1962), a monumental dictionary compiled by Enno Littmann and Maria Höfner and published by Franz Steiner Verlag. As leaders of the historic Princeton Expedition to Abyssinia, Littmann and Höfner are universally recognized as the absolute highest scholarly authorities in Semitic philology, making this lexicon the most trustworthy and definitive source on the language's true etymology.

አይበቃንም ወይ ግን?

See that South Park reference photo on the second slide's first comment, this is how outsiders see us. I think our generation has a major duty to end this with us. I've seen the world dramatically changing within just few years of my early youth and the rate is frightening. We can't afford to focus on division, Not just as Ethiopians but also as Horners. The outsiders are enjoying their advantages of our scramble.

Safety Truth - Addis Ababa - Large American After Dark

So I am a large, 6 ft 5in (195cm), weighing 260 lbs (118 kg), man in my 30s. I have lived in the bad parts of Baltimore and other areas of the US. I know how to navigate cities and identify safety. How dangerous is it truly for me to be out after dark without obvious signs of wealth? With that said, I am white and it is obvious I am a tourist.

This is Ambassador Tsegay Berhe, a former president of Tigray region, and former national security advisor to PM Meles. He was assaulted by thugs in Mekelle on June 21, and only escaped due to his personal security. I can only wonder what the security within Tigray is like for the average Tegaru.
