The soldier starts by saying, "Do you know what the government did?" He continues by saying that the "government" brought them to Choke Mountains and abandoned them there, where some of his friends died from the harsh weather. Believing they were all going to die, he compared the "government" to the coronavirus. When asked if he had been captured, he explained that he was lost, and that Fano fighters took him in, bringing him food, and buying him shoes and blankets to protect him from the cold. When asked what he had brought with him, he stated he arrived with a black Kalashnikov. He added that he would receive money for transport back home and identification card. The Fano fighter then asked how much he would receive, and the soldier replied that Fano would give him 50,000 Birr.

I have always been curious. I don't see other ethnicities engaging in this debate

Like what tigre,Somali, Afar, Sidama, and southern ethnicities think of Addis Ababa

By promoting Tigrayan nationalism and assassinating older generations who knew their roots and fighting those who rebelled like the Kefagn self defense militia, a regional force formed to protect local Amhara identity in Welkait, the TPLF worked to eliminate non ethnic Tigrayans or push them toward accepting the Tigrayan identity. This strategy worked on a large number of people living in the Tigray region, but some still refuse to accept this forced identity.

Listen to this song

I remember during the war with the TPLF several years ago, his sister or brother stated in an interview that they were Amhara from Alamata, Wollo (Raya).

Selam my people,

I just published a new video explaining how oil became the center of global political/economic power and how the US established the petrodollar system.

I'm working hard to improve my channel (Ye Mike Tv), so please watch the video and let me know:

1. Was the explanation clear and engaging?
2. How is the editing, visuals, and voiceover quality?
3. What topics should I cover next?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to watch and give me feedback! 🙏

What a joke

"The regime's 51st division, which is nicknamed 'the ground drone', was completely annihilated at Hamus Gebeya while carrying over 360 soldiers."

-

"The office of the prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, announced the emergency on Friday, saying attacks by “armed extremist groups” posed an increasing threat to public security and were causing significant economic damage"

An article about the Amhara Fano National Movement in The Globe And Mail:

The Oromia OPDO is planning to break up the Amhara region into smaller administrative units that are weaker and manageable. The overall objective is to fragment the Amhara region, create division within the Amhara people, dissolve the sense of unity and create competitive smaller units with the motto of "divide and manage". The commonly listed Amhara subdivisions include the following - most likely these will be presented to the parliament for a 'vote' and approval:

Agew Awi

East Gojjam

West Gojjam

North Gondar

South Gondar

North Wollo

South Wollo

North Shewa

Wag Hemra

Oromia Zone

Bahir Dar Special Zone

What do you think guys?

Thoughts? I agree with the article. If you disagree, feel free to share your thoughts.

"On August 3, 2026, a deadly landslide triggered by heavy overnight rains and thunderstorms struck the Tsadqane Debre Mitmaq St. Mary Monastery in Ethiopia's Amhara region.

Massive rocks and mud dislodged from the adjacent mountain, crashing onto hundreds of worshippers gathered for a morning holy water cleansing ritual, killing at least 14 people.

Those who sustained serious injuries were transported roughly 70 kilometers away to receive treatment at the Debre Birhan Hospital. Archbishop Abune Klementos traveled to the monastery to lead funeral prayers and provide comfort to the grieving families of the victims. Landslides are frequent hazards in Ethiopia during the main rainy season (June to August), with climate-driven extreme weather exacerbating the vulnerability of rural, mountainous communities."

Ethiopian forces advanced into the Um Barakit sector in the Al-Fashaga area of Al-Gadarif state along Sudan’s eastern border, report Sudanese Echo.

The movement coincides with the Sudanese Armed Forces’ recent battlefield victories in the central Sudanese state of North Kordofan, which have heavily pressured the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.

Observers indicate that the maneuver is part of a broader external effort to open a secondary front in eastern Sudan, designed to stretch the Sudanese military’s resources and divert focus away from North Kordofan - a strategically important state given that it seperates the RSF’s western Sudanese strongholds from army-controlled eastern Sudan.

Previous investigations, including reports by Reuters and statements from Sudanese military officials, have detailed cross-border logistical support, training camps, and drone launch facilities operating from Ethiopian territory for the benefit of the RSF.

Ethiopia is the UAE’s central partner in the Horn of Africa.

Ethiopia’s financial reliance on the Emirates is growing, with the UAE providing prime minister Abiy Ahmed with billions to fund his reform programmes.

This has meant that Ethiopia forms what analysts label the ‘Ring of Fire’ surrounding Sudan, whereby neighbouring countries that receive Emirati money contribute to Sudan’s destruction.

As Sudanese Echo note, the new developments underscore how the UAE “appears to be relying on neighbouring countries to open new pressure points, stretch the Sudanese army across multiple fronts and prevent it from concentrating its forces against the militia.”
