Who is Kumsa Diriba?

On December 19th, 2018, the Ethiopian National Defense Force began a mass deployment of its forces across western Oromia state (mainly the 4 Wallaga zones and northern areas of Shawa zone). Eyewitnesses state that the military is digging encampments in the middle of cities and hauling in sand bags for fortification. This was in response to what the government called a breakdown of order in this region due to the actions of the Oromo Liberation Army led by a man named “Jaal Maro”.

Abiye Axmed is removing olf from those area I think  this is very sad for those  oromo nationalist.  Abiye  is more amxara than oromo.

Yes Oodweyne thats his strategy he used their grievances  and struggle  and uprise to gain allot of support  as a reformer . But once he gains all the support of all the Ethiopian groups May they be the amxara groups in the north and others who oppose him  or have other political ideology such as the olf  of abdisa. He released allot of political prisoners from the amhara group ginbot7 group EPPF group and others. But I am sure the gallas will break in 2 in the near future.

This will be Abiy weakness.

His allies and main support from Amxara and Central are not accepted outside of their areas. Ginbot 7 actually is most unacceptable group to the Oromo.

Its also very funny that all the organizations that were in Eritrea have been sorted out in such short order and time. Only Ginbot 7 and Amxara group are still friends with Eritrea and Abiy. The rest have been used and thrown already like ONLF, OLF and others.

Abiy might have played his hand this time. He is losing control outside major cities.

Ethiopia seems to be one country where the question of its formation and also if it should continue is legitimate.

Being unstable, fractured, famine, starvation, civil wars...are all related to its formation. Nobody has been helped by western and eastern countries as much or even one percent of Ethiopia, yet still poor, still backward and always teetering on break up.
