the same way somaliland prefers ethiopia over somalia/mogadishu
politics is about common interests not ethnic solidarity.
valid point waachis but the only difference Amhara is Enemy also to the Eritreans , its like Somaliland arming a group in southern Somalia who also oppose Somaliland independence. Perhaps Alshabaab is worth supporting perhaps
the amhara elites are, because they see eritrea as their ancient empires sea port.
but i do not know if the younger generation of amharas even care for eritrea.
eritrea's plan has always been to support any anti-ethio group because it stretches the ethiopian army thin and makes it easier for eritrea to handle ethiopia's forces. eritrea knows in a fair one-on-one, ethiopia will win each time, simply due to sheer size difference (manpower, resources, even international clout).
