"ወላሂ አላውቅም"

You realize the sorry and deplorable state #Ethiopia is in when you observe the majority of “Ethiopianists” and “social justice” advocates. Their brand of nation building is dependent on holding one group of people to a “higher” moral standard and-/1

at the same time denying that group all sorts of social justice. The #Amhara are both “dispensable” and “indispensable” for the “sake” of the Ethiopia they envision- it just depends on the circumstances.

Should you get distressed when you see revenge meted out by a mob?-/2

by all means yes. But save yourselves the moral Puritanism and false equivalency.

I’ll save you everything prior to April 2018. For three years, you turned the other way as pregnant women were disemboweled, children hacked to death, infants orphaned and bodies dumped in /3

mass graves. You said it was a necessary “sacrifice” for Ethiopia while all the same you cheered as the the powers that be red-carpet treated their killers.

Let me enlighten you on what the future holds: it is thousands of children that will grow up and ask what happened to /4

their parents (and we will tell them). It’s them going in search of the mass graves their parents where dumped in. It’s countless men and women who will live their lives traumatized. Millions of us will remember your silence as a death sentence you passed on the innocent. /5

Truth is, no one can just forget, forgive, move on and prevail We are in this mayhem because citizens were denied the right to life and justice for too long. We won’t save ourselves because we built mega dams and world class resorts. After all, it’s a country were killers walk /6

free and even make the rules as victims keep on being victimized. You want to be outraged? Start by the side of those mass graves. Look into the eyes of the orphaned children for no other reason than the ethnicity of their parents and hear them say
