I find it very funny some Tigrayans cherish this new found relationship w Eritrea and have shown no desire to increase relations with Amharas.
It seems the desire to increase cooperation with Eritrea and the communities is a benefit, but we have the lack of it in the south.
I wanna remind ppl we have built strong relationships to the south before and we can do it again. Hope this can happen
I guess now we can add to the list of things that Abiy has done to break the Pretoria agreement.
"Interim Admin President Lt. Gen. Tadesse Worede warned that a freeze in federal budget transfers had left the administration unable to pay civil servants or maintain essential services, while banks in the region were facing severe cash shortages. He said the budget support had not been transferred for two consecutive months and warned that the growing economic pressure was threatening the fragile peace established after the Pretoria agreement."
When Tadesse Worede was in office, Abiy was still holding off money for two consecutive months, which he couldn't do. And now, under Debretsion, Abiy still won't send the necessary funds to Tigray like the Pretoria agreement was intended to do. When I say that Abiy constantly antagonizes, starves out, and does everything in his power to dismantle Tigray, I mean it. Yet when these unstable circumstances occur, it breeds into a war since nobody wants to be starving out, broke, and unstable, yet PP cadres will play victim and say oh but TPLF shot the first bullet. We now have 3 things PP has broken in the Pretoria agreement (Giving away Western Tigray, Tadesse Worede extending his position, and withholding funds from Tigray). Debretsion has to now temporarily suspend finances to figure out a way to budget Tigray with the finances that he currently has; it's unfair. I agree with centralizing the payroll system so that we can figure out how Tigray can survive with the money they currently have.
Hear they have lots of supporters.
Amhara here. I've been horrified by all the atrocities that a lot of amhara and national defense forces have committed in Tigray. I've always had a soft spot for the Tigrayan people as most of the ones I've met have been honest, genuine and kind. Do you see any way forward for a better relationship between our people? Or is the best thing we can do at this point to mind our own business and donate to organizations that are helping the victims of the genocide?
Of course this should include reconciliation of the people considering everything that has considered in the past 2 decades (the Badme War and Tigray War).
I made an Eritrean friend who is against hating Tigrayans, acknowledges the genocide, and wants peace. Once we spoke about the state of Tigray, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, and the use of slurs came up. She referred to Agame as the "a-word." I get that she was trying to be respectful, but I don't know how I feel about the word Agame being censored to counter the ignorance of Eritreans. I'm not from there, but it's clearly a place that Tigrayans take pride in. It also feels like imposing their social norms onto us, because Agame has only been treated like a bad word by Eritreans. At the same time, I can imagine that during the genocide, that word was probably used very derogatively as people were being killed, raped, hunted, and isolated. So while Agame holds a sense of pride, it also may not be a weightless word for many Tigrayans. In a future in which there is finally a peaceful and friendly relationship between Tigrayans and Eritreans, what should be done?
Bodily autonomy is a human right.
Having a whole intact private parts is a human right.
Gender doesn’t determine if something is painful. This assault at birth may create men who are more angry, hostile and less compassionate. Less emotional regulation due to brain damage. Amygdala hijacking and lack of frontal lobe development can occur from severe early trauma or stress.
All the parts God made have function.
Babies nervous systems can be hurt from this. He may feel you violated him when he realizes what actually happened. most men are intact globally without scar on their most sensitive gland.
The gland is supposed to covered. When it’s open the rubbing from clothes can irritate it over time. Also, Removing parts can negatively impact intimacy. Sometimes there are serious complications.
Christ criticized the people of that that time who did these cumbersome practices . That’s why other Christians do not continue this practice.
Future parents: please leave your newborn boys private parts alone. If you actually picture the act it’s so weird. Stop MGM . It is a violation at birth. What do you expect from them if we are doing this harsh thing to them in their most vulnerable moment.

Evil leaders on both sides but the recent war showed that Tplf was definitely the wrong side it makes no sense why Woyane didn’t just give in and kept fighting for so long while gaining nothing. It’s pretty obvious Woyane did this war not caring about their civilians or their soldiers they would have to send out debretsion and his clique just wanted power. Even if saying that afwerki and abiy planned it it makes no sense to fight but they did anyway and gave them a reason to keep fighting Tplf. It makes no sense to me why Woyane would go to war I know if meles was here he wouldn’t allow Woyane to just fight the federal government. If you fight the government get ready to die willingly just like Fano and Olf/Ola but I still think abiy should have tried harder to make sure no war happened but when you see how he sees Fano and Ola it should make sense he just doesn’t have any sympathy for anyone who fight the goverment even tho he should only worry about defending the country. It makes sense now why getch and Tpf are a thing they probably don’t ever want to be dragged into war by this terrible new Tplf who is money hungry and has their kids in the diaspora while civilians fight wars. Meles would be on getachew side if he were alive right now 100%.
