Protests did happen in Ethiopia before, but this time it is bigger, bolder and fearless. Also, the reaction of the ruling class is as paranoid as any despot. Meles knew both the Oromo's and Somalis. When the Oromo agitated, he would go to their zone , sit down with them , make himself at home and bribe if possible.

 

This Hailemariam guy is really paranoid. It is probably coming from the fear the Tigray guys feel from the Ahmara , as some kind superior creed. In their media they call the Ahmara as those who look down others , as racist or even the KKK. The other problem is the Ahmara's are every where in the government bureaucracy , the universities, and the media, while complaining the TPLF domination. add all that the 90% or so from the diaspora are Ahmaric. Rather than shit in their pants, they should bring closer the Oromo and concentrate their security efforts by purging the Ahmara.

 

More security and more armored vehicles in big cities will not resolve the problem.

Added to this chaos, there is reported in the military. Oromo and Amhara soldiers are turning on Woyane officers. Many local police have simply switched sides.
