He undermines the "unitary state" & names denominations: "Abyssinians proper (occupying the central part of the country), the Gallas, the Gojjams, & the Kushites of Tigré". Colonial rule is proposed as desired to liberate people from "Tyranny of the #Amhara".[3/8]

Fascist invasion of #Ethiopia was intended to avenge humiliation at Battle of #Adwa under Menelik II. Their approach was to incentivize "extermination of all #Amhara chiefs" through propaganda & payment.
Research post-liberation highlighted success of this campaign.

This ideology is developed by Western scholars on Africa, student movement, & eventually becomes the very essence of #TPLF's "ethnic federalism".
Wallelign Mekonnen's 1969 essay on "On the Question of Nationalities in #Ethiopia" alludes to oppression by Amhara.

...others by Amhara but ironically proponents of the theory omit author's mention of "Amhara-Tigre".
Scholars such as @rene_renelefort allude to #Amhara tyranny via tweets & book.
Diplomats such as @CohenOnAfrica use above terminology.

TPLF's fallacious "unitarism vs. federalism" dichotomy. E.g. see propaganda slides created by @OmnaTigray. This was intended to distract from #TPLF's own ethnocracy + plutocracy + totalitarianism (their manifesto labelled #Amhara their enemy):

In this way, the concept of "self-determination" & the advent/rise of the liberation fronts were a decades-long project in the making under influence from Colonialists, Nazis & Fascists to cause the fragmentation of #Ethiopia.
In short, #TPLF & #OLF are Nazi groups.
