Thank you professor Abiy you have shown the true Ethiopian explanation and show the direct answer for all the lovers and also for the enemy of the country.
Mother of Tigray Troop I praise you in every thing it’s you thought your children the History of your Grands thank you very much mother will go on and on keep the good deed!
I learned from this presentation is that, they had/have been experimenting ethnic federalism on Ethiopia and trying to disintegrate Ethiopia into a number of east African Countries. But the time has passed long. And there is no a sufficient condition for the disintegration of the great One Ethiopia.... Ermihin Awuta yene ferengi!
Thanks for your concern This is an internal affair to overthrow the brutal dictatorial regime in Tigrai .I advise you to get a realistic information for how long the Ethiopian government continued a peace dialogue to stop war in the region.The government has sacrificed many Ethiopians to secure peace in the horn of Africa.
The question should not about Oromo or Amhara or Tigre or any others. But, it should be about country, about equality, peace, development and democracy for all ethnics. It should be about establishing tolerating and in harmonious as other countries do. It should be about freedom of religion as every one need.
First you must Stop ur Genocidal Mission on Tigray...you can't conduct Genocide & Ethnic cleansing operation ; There's an international law & it can't hide in 21st century.
Before people insult others, they should make sure they realy know about the things they pretend to know than others. For instance, still there is historical record written by scholars that indicates modern ethiopia as it is tody existed 3000 years ago. For instance, today's southern and western part of ethiopia have never been part of ancient ethiopia. Even ancient ethiopia did not have regular geographical area. From centuries to centuries, from half centuries to half centuries, ethiopia's geographical area or geographical map of ethiopia was not the same. It differs from time to time, and from generation to generation. Based on some christian writings and archeological evidences, and historical findings, most of ancient ethiopia was tody's northern part of ethiopia,Tigray region, Eritrea and some regions of Sudan. Another time, it might used to include some parts of Yemen and nearby Yemen Arabian regions. Today's map of ethiopia was established by emperor Menilik of ethiopia. Even in his time, he lost Eritrea, which was taken by force by Italy and colonized it for 50 years. Besides, according to some historian scholars, the Gabella region of ethiopia was not ruled by emperor Menilik but annexed later by king Haile Slassie. Therefore, which one is the 3000, years old history of ethiopia?
Wrong Ethiopia is not largely a Christian country! Islam is the majority but Christians dominate the government. Ethiopia is in danger of disintegration if they do not fix democratic process and press freedom, marginalizations of Ethnic communities
u do not know Ethiopia for a number of reasons one it was christian brothers who accepted and saved Muslim brothers from death & slaughter during first era of islam and other things is Ethiopia wont be disintegrated rather it is good time for this two brothers christian and Muslims to unite so read more christian have never assaulted Muslim for who they are so knowledge is a tool for everything so have that at least about Ethiopia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Believe it or not, Ethiopia will never and ever be disintegrated. The foundation has been put so well that we will solve our problems in a legal and rational way. As for you, you will wish and hope disintegration, but will never have one. Shame on you who have no self respect, shame on you who is instrument of foreign powers. Slave!
The Federal gov.t of Ethiopia has declared a genocide on Tigray. All public services in Tigray are blocked by the federal gov.t, discriminations and false propaganda against the people of Tigray is propagating even by the public media of the federal gov.t, territorial expansion is occurring along the war on Tigray. In general, what is happing in the Northern Ethiopia is quit similar with the eve of genocide act in Rwanda in 1994.
Finally , I will ask the moderator , what is your criteria to select not only none Ethiopian but also people who have superficial knowledge about Ethiopian History, the current state,and I may say it is intentionally ,motivated to present the country such ways!
It's very ironic that some Ethiopians & sects use to say ‛God 'll help us’ while supporting the Genocide mission in Tigray & Suppressions in Oromia anyways things fall apart ; The remaining last Empire in the world seems on the brink of disintegration... ፥ ኦሮማይ !

Abiy Ahmed is unelected prime minister of Ethiopia. He is an evil man. He declared war on his people, the Tigrai people, north part of Ethiopia. Since the war, 70 thousand civilians are murdered, 80 thousand people fled to neighboring countries Sudan, and more.

The Oromo people aren't marginalized. The only problem in few Oromo region is that some the Oromo leaders have dedicated to have the upper hand on other ethnic groups. They believe that since the PM Dr. Abbey is Oromo, it is our turn to rule Ethiopia on iron hand. However, the Ethiopian people rejected their intention of our turn. Ethiopian people wanted to live equally with respect. They didn't want to go back to the TPLF like racist and dictatorial regime and others before the present government. Some Oromo leaders who are narrow minded racist individuals who have been caltivated by Egypt and other racist groups. Because of the over thrown TPLF gang groups who are adimately decided to destabilize Ethiopia by collaborating with Egypt, so Ethiopia has been dealing to maintain its stability. Ethiopian enemies killed one of the known musicians to cause ethnic conflict. The killing was premeditated and organized. Therefore, these killers committed genocide on innocent people in Ethiopia. These are facts in Ethiopia, but from your panals and questions, this is a setup to feed false information to the world, because the present government rejected the Nile river dam negotiation that was favorable to Egypt. It is unfair game to undermine Ethiopia and to create a puppet regime in Ethiopia by favoring narrow minded racist groups.
Amhara racists and backwards are the cause of the problems in Ethiopia. You wiah to create a country where everyone should speak Amharic and worship the same god. Your illusion of creating an Amhara supremacist regime will be the reason for the disintegration of Ethiopia.
You ,Amhara & so called Organic Ethiopianist, main problem's talking on the behalf of others as mouth pieces :- ‑ Oromos didn't marginalized ‑ TPLF is n't good for Tigraign Peoples ..bla....bla Let the people of the respected nationalities themselves to speak for themselves ...ur outdated supermacist mind set driven from Empirial nostalgia hegemony & fertile based illusions to implement @ 21st Century led to the disintegration of the country where it's good opportunity for the nations to become free.
Minute 17:35 " Etnhic federalism? It is to me a Post-liberal order or framework of what a nation is, because we have the tendency of equating a state and a nation, well they are not. The state invented the nation to me. We tried in Ethiopia, the emperor tried, the military government tried, we wanted to have one government, one nationality so and so force, and we know what happend, we had revolutions we had civil wars and so on. But now we have this ethnic issue so every ethnicity, which are in Ethiopia determined by their linguistic variables, they are allowed to govern themself."
Im confuse about the drought. Ethiopia is located green belt as result they have enough rainfall. How people are talking about famine, I feel like it is gimmick by the politicians, they need to teach the people to cultivate their land.
the black person is a bit different it makes snese to me what he saing. Why Ethiopia is the center of attraction now while the world is facing pandemic and financial l crises, why Ethiopia! the 2 white do not seem to appreciate the black person. The black person don´t have a depper knowldge about Ethiopia.
OGADEN region which part of Ethiopia today was colonized by the British and instead of giving them their freedom, British chose to add them to Ethiopia, and today Ethiopia is not largely Christian but it's actually largely Muslim country. the actual Ethiopia is Abyssinia which is Amhara and Tigray. the rest of the people and their land was occupied and forcefully added to the Ethiopia today. Oromos, Somalis. Sidama, Anfar, Gambela and many more was forcefully added to the Ethiopia today. therefore, if a permanent peace is needed FREE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ADDED TO ETHIOPIA FORCEFULY AND AGAINST THEIR WILL, very simple, how long westerners wanna safe Ethiopia? come-on. TIME FOR JUSTICE
Oromo might be the largest etnic population in ethiopia but oromifa language is not the largest language being spoken in the country Amharic is the largest population speaking out of the entire population of ethiopia.

"I am Oromo; I am not Ethiopian!" is only bullying the Totalitarian thinkers that love to impose their dominant culture and identity! "Oromians remain Ethiopian! Period!
wonder what you all think about Ethiopia's stability now?? we Ethiopians wish we didn't find Ethiopia in the condition where it is right now. The PM has absolutely no clue on leadership skills. So he is instigating conflict through out the country, so difficult to move around freely within the regions.
We have no problem,our problem source is the western because of our water abay.then we will educate everyone to wake-up and understand the geopolitics of East Africa /adwa is the morale history of black people.
TPLF is not only ethnic radicalist, it had killed enocent civilians based on their race & political openion (commited genocides & crime aginst humanity ). Thus, this criminal group should brought to ICC.
They care only about business and political relation with Ethiopia not dead Christian. Christian have been killed a cross Africa since independent from European colonzation including middel east and asia. It sad but true
Ethiopia and Ethiopians have never been so disgraced in their history. The country had experienced some degree of relative peace and growth for 27 odd years. With all its difficuties the country was experimenting some degree of democracy under a federal system on which the current regime could have developed and also make changes to the system and the laws. But the current regime was hijacked by those who believe TPLF alone had instituted the federal system and it was bad to them. But for the majority the system was good. They blamed it and kept gradges against it and decided to revenge the TPLF. So first they alienated the TPLF and finally as you hear they are attacking Tigray and killing Tigrayans indescrimately. They invited the Eritrean army and the Amhara militia and have been causing mayhem. The current regime did the most ridiculous thing that had never done before, that is hurting its own part of the country , Tigray. by foreign forces. Now genocide and ethnic cleansing is taking place both by the foreign and internal forces that have shown hatred and various interests in Tigray. When untold atrocities are going the world is doing nothing to stop serious crimes against humanity. SOS STOP THE WAR and genocide now
The No.1 reason instability is the TPLF corruption and brutality and as they only represent 5% of the population as such the 95% don’t want them play dominant role only to protect their own personal interest. Now Abiye is the PM and Demeke is his Deputy and they represent the majority and they are incorruptible and they are committed to bring about real democratic government in Ethiopia for the 1st time in its history.
I am listening this in 2021, and the professor prediction happened and Ethiopia is in criss, ERDF and TPLF gone, will be buried soon. The US still supports them, the saddest part
Ethiopia is the center of gravity for peace keeping in the whole Africa. Ethiopia plans to bring all African citizens treated equal in not only their country but also in the globe
Can anyone google American civil society.? It does not a active phase.You will see that is a INGO word that is used outside of the western countries. Ethiopian is ethnically diverse frictions can be here whenever there is power struggle within among ethic representatives who are in same party.
Correction Ethiopia the first kingdom to adapt Christianity as a official religion of the state. Not few centuries. You ancestors were pagans when we worship God.
Federalism did not do any good for Ethiopia.I can certainly the TPLF side which is responsible for the breaking And dividing. Ethnic group in Ethiopia.
The long history is you find it in Tigray all the calandra the alphabet of Giz even til now when the heave rain digs the ground in Acsum you can find coins of 30000 thousands of years any ways all history of Ethiopia is Tigray.
Ethiopia borders 6 countries one that is battling Islamic extremism (Somalia), another that is embroiled in a civil war where Ethiopia inherits the majority of the refugees (South Sudan), another that has chosen to destabilize the region (Eritrea). Three of the 6 countries bordering Ethiopia have decided that a policy of a zero sum game is the way to go. The visionary and forward thinking Meles Zenawi understood that one does not have to gain at the expense of the other. The sooner we begin creating a region that exploits our comparative advantages and creating economic interdependencies the better off we will be.

The Oromo people aren't marginalized. The only problem in few Oromo region is that some the Oromo leaders have dedicated to have the upper hand on other ethnic groups. They believe that since the PM Dr. Abbey is Oromo, it is our turn to rule Ethiopia on iron hand. However, the Ethiopian people rejected their intention of our turn. Ethiopian people wanted to live equally with respect. They didn't want to go back to the TPLF like racist and dictatorial regime and others before the present government. Some Oromo leaders who are narrow minded racist individuals who have been caltivated by Egypt and other racist groups. Because of the over thrown TPLF gang groups who are adimately decided to destabilize Ethiopia by collaborating with Egypt, so Ethiopia has been dealing to maintain its stability. Ethiopian enemies killed one of the known musicians to cause ethnic conflict. The killing was premeditated and organized. Therefore, these killers committed genocide on innocent people in Ethiopia. These are facts in Ethiopia, but from your panals and questions, this is a setup to feed false information to the world, because the present government rejected the Nile river dam negotiation that was favorable to Egypt. It is unfair game to undermine Ethiopia and to create a puppet regime in Ethiopia by favoring narrow minded racist groups.
Amhara racists and backwards are the cause of the problems in Ethiopia. You wiah to create a country where everyone should speak Amharic and worship the same god. Your illusion of creating an Amhara supremacist regime will be the reason for the disintegration of Ethiopia.
You ,Amhara & so called Organic Ethiopianist, main problem's talking on the behalf of others as mouth pieces :-
‑ Oromos didn't marginalized
‑ TPLF is n't good for Tigraign Peoples
..bla....bla
Let the people of the respected nationalities themselves to speak for themselves ...ur outdated supermacist mind set driven from Empirial nostalgia hegemony & fertile based illusions to implement @ 21st Century led to the disintegration of the country where it's good opportunity for the nations to become free.
I agree most of oromo region are peaceful there are only few keep crying about the past
Do you realize this video is from 2016? This is before Abiy.
thank you professor Aby, a very good explanation!
Minute 17:35 " Etnhic federalism? It is to me a Post-liberal order or framework of what a nation is, because we have the tendency of equating a state and a nation, well they are not. The state invented the nation to me. We tried in Ethiopia, the emperor tried, the military government tried, we wanted to have one government, one nationality so and so force, and we know what happend, we had revolutions we had civil wars and so on. But now we have this ethnic issue so every ethnicity, which are in Ethiopia determined by their linguistic variables, they are allowed to govern themself."
Mr Abiye good name bad thoughts! You support Ethnic Federalism ?
Mama Ethiopiyaa love you ❤️❤️
who are you to tell what is good for Ethiopia and Ethiopians??????????
The Second man explain verry god.
The audio volumes is very weak.
exellent job!!!!!!
Im confuse about the drought. Ethiopia is located green belt as result they have enough rainfall. How people are talking about famine, I feel like it is gimmick by the politicians, they need to teach the people to cultivate their land.
Mercenary politician 80% of the talk is false.
the black person is a bit different it makes snese to me what he saing. Why Ethiopia is the center of attraction now while the world is facing pandemic and financial l crises, why Ethiopia! the 2 white do not seem to appreciate the black person. The black person don´t have a depper knowldge about Ethiopia.
Thank you
OGADEN region which part of Ethiopia today was colonized by the British and instead of giving them their freedom, British chose to add them to Ethiopia, and today Ethiopia is not largely Christian but it's actually largely Muslim country. the actual Ethiopia is Abyssinia which is Amhara and Tigray. the rest of the people and their land was occupied and forcefully added to the Ethiopia today. Oromos, Somalis. Sidama, Anfar, Gambela and many more was forcefully added to the Ethiopia today. therefore, if a permanent peace is needed FREE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ADDED TO ETHIOPIA FORCEFULY AND AGAINST THEIR WILL, very simple, how long westerners wanna safe Ethiopia? come-on. TIME FOR JUSTICE
Tigray will prevail
Abiy must go
Oromo might be the largest etnic population in ethiopia but oromifa language is not the largest language being spoken in the country Amharic is the largest population speaking out of the entire population of ethiopia.
Pinocchio is never fit for Ethiopia!
this guys have been fed with weyane lies,that everything rosey,look at where we are now.Weyanes game over.

just a bit of mistake but at 1:30 he said several centuries ago and then said 2 centuries ago. he meant to say 2 millenniums ago. lol
@Anonymous i don't think it's propaganda at all. it's just a mistake, that's all, i don't see what benefit it would have for saying that.
"I am Oromo; I am not Ethiopian!" is only bullying the Totalitarian thinkers that love to impose their dominant culture and identity! "Oromians remain Ethiopian! Period!
wonder what you all think about Ethiopia's stability now?? we Ethiopians wish we didn't find Ethiopia in the condition where it is right now. The PM has absolutely no clue on leadership skills. So he is instigating conflict through out the country, so difficult to move around freely within the regions.
VERY WELL SAID
Are they speaker of TPLF
I think I don't understand
We have no problem,our problem source is the western because of our water abay.then we will educate everyone to wake-up and understand the geopolitics of East Africa /adwa is the morale history of black people.
Tenx sir
Abiyi must go
I have much suspicion that you have nothing to do with the government actual.

TPLF is not only ethnic radicalist, it had killed enocent civilians based on their race & political openion (commited genocides & crime aginst humanity ). Thus, this criminal group should brought to ICC.
If you realy worried about Ethiopia where are you now? 50 curchs burnt many chiristian killed and burnt. Where are you now? Can you hear me?
They care only about business and political relation with Ethiopia not dead Christian. Christian have been killed a cross Africa since independent from European colonzation including middel east and asia. It sad but true
leave Ethiopia for Ethiopians? we don't like the hearing aany thing from you....
We need our political persuasions ferry
Why they Don't talking Somali ETHIOPIAN Rigion
I think this Ethiopian guy is a troll to the west.
Ethiopia and Ethiopians have never been so disgraced in their history. The country had experienced some degree of relative peace and growth for 27 odd years. With all its difficuties the country was experimenting some degree of democracy under a federal system on which the current regime could have developed and also make changes to the system and the laws. But the current regime was hijacked by those who believe TPLF alone had instituted the federal system and it was bad to them. But for the majority the system was good. They blamed it and kept gradges against it and decided to revenge the TPLF. So first they alienated the TPLF and finally as you hear they are attacking Tigray and killing Tigrayans indescrimately. They invited the Eritrean army and the Amhara militia and have been causing mayhem. The current regime did the most ridiculous thing that had never done before, that is hurting its own part of the country , Tigray. by foreign forces. Now genocide and ethnic cleansing is taking place both by the foreign and internal forces that have shown hatred and various interests in Tigray. When untold atrocities are going the world is doing nothing to stop serious crimes against humanity.
SOS
STOP THE WAR and genocide now
The No.1 reason instability is the TPLF corruption and brutality and as they only represent 5% of the population as such the 95% don’t want them play dominant role only to protect their own personal interest. Now Abiye is the PM and Demeke is his Deputy and they represent the majority and they are incorruptible and they are committed to bring about real democratic government in Ethiopia for the 1st time in its history.
You guys !!
Do you know what happened on the ground
Please go and see the place seeing is believed. Sirs
ሀይማኖት የግልና አገር የጋራ ነው አትርሱ ኢትዮጵያን አመሰግናለሁ
👏👏👏
Thank you so much.
I am listening this in 2021, and the professor prediction happened and Ethiopia is in criss, ERDF and TPLF gone, will be buried soon. The US still supports them, the saddest part
Let me remind you if you don't know about Ethiopian History the country built a church 349 AD so christanity had been practice for 1700 years
History of either full of fertile or ፀሀፌ-ትዕዛዝ
Agree facts only
@Abiy, where is he from? He is not that well. He seems ill-prepared...and
That's what your mom said.
Ethiopia is the center of gravity for peace keeping in the whole Africa. Ethiopia plans to bring all African citizens treated equal in not only their country but also in the globe
Can anyone google American civil society.? It does not a active phase.You will see that is a INGO word that is used outside of the western countries. Ethiopian is ethnically diverse frictions can be here whenever there is power struggle within among ethic representatives who are in same party.
It’s not a problem of land it’s just people in the power they are selfish
Correction Ethiopia the first kingdom to adapt Christianity as a official religion of the state. Not few centuries. You ancestors were pagans when we worship God.

I from tigray but tplf is killer !!!
Federalism did not do any good for Ethiopia.I can certainly the TPLF side which is responsible for the breaking And dividing. Ethnic group in Ethiopia.
Whom the people stand for the truth show to save Amhara and Orthodox Ethiopian please.
We saw Ignorate People target Orthodox Ethiopian.
The long history is you find it in Tigray all the calandra the alphabet of Giz even til now when the heave rain digs the ground in Acsum you can find coins of 30000 thousands of years any ways all history of Ethiopia is Tigray.
