After another laughable sham election the armed resistance forces from the Oromo and Ahmara have gained renewed vigour to bring the fight to the fading and increasingly factional TPLF regime.
OLF Mujahids are on the mend and will surely take advantage of the increasing distaste for the TPLF and their regional goons.
In the North the Amhara front Ginbot7 is organising a resistance force which may be effective in disrupting TPLF rule in the north closer to their home region.
blue amahara don't support the disintegration of Ethiopia but they are allies for the time being. I was told by Oday what the Tigray have done is a lot worse than what Amhara did during there stay, mass graves dot every single district and village. Amharas are very sympathetic to what has happened in the Ogaden at the moment but they are two sides of the same coin when it comes to politics although the TPLF will most likely upon their demise support an independent Ogaden and Oromo region as a counter to any Amhara ascension to power. The TPLF has an exit strategy.
Eega someone from addis told me tigrays know that ethiopia will eventually disintegrate thus are empowering the tigray state in preparation for independence. He also told me that tigray are willing to give ogaden their independence but before that they want to ensure somalia disintegrates into more than 5 disunited regions.
what is your thought on that? ma sheeka huuhaa ah baa
TPLF somalia policy is as you stated, I will try and find a link where members of the Ethiopian foreign ministry discuss their policy of destabilization in Somalia.
The TPLF will handover the Ogaden if there is an existential threat against them.
G7 has no armed unit. People like EEGA have no clue about Ethiopia or its affairs. G7 is neither Amhara force either. It is mostly dominated by Gurage and its leader is Gurage.
OLF like ONLF long died. Ethiopians, whether Amhara or Tigrai are neither in favor of Cagdheer secession. The TPLF may exploitate differences but they do not necessarily reflect Tigrai opinions. The northern Tigrais used to like the idea of disintegrating Ethiopia but that was long before Eritrea achieved its statehood and closed the gate on Abay Tigray.
The 1976 manifesto long died. Then you have Enderta awraja Tigrais who are very close to the Amhara elites and wish to expand into Afar. They will defend Ethiopia's unity by all cost.
The pictures you see are most likely the Tigray rebels: TPDM, who are armed and train by Asmara. They are prodominantly from the Tembien awraja, where Isaias himself has roots as did Ras Alula, who defended Hamasien (awraja) from the Egyptians. Most of Iaias circles are the Hamasien.
I believe these pictures were taken in and around Sareye (Eritrea), which has similar terrain as northern Tigray especially Adwa and Agame.
Asmara will never arm Amhara. They rather install a Tigrai in Addis Ababa that can protect their interest. The Amhara are expansionist by nature and will try to subdue Eritrea one way or another. Isaias knows them very well and the best gamble for him is Tigrais who don't hold that grand vision Amharas do. Tigrai is satisfied as long as he has some in his pocket.
TPLF itself was delivered to Addis by EPLF but relations went sour when TPLF began harassing Eritreans inside Eritrea. Eritrea asked them to leave and the war broke out in Badme.
TPLF will rule Ethiopia for another 15 years minimum until their generation die out then Amhara will return with Wollo and Shoa Oromo on their side.
Amharas never saw Ogaden. They were either full blood Oromo or mixed commanders who controlled Ogaden. Ras Makonnen is the man who captured after Harar and he was mostly Oromo blood and cousin of Menelik II.
Oromo themselves were captured by Oromo loyal to the Abyssinian throne such as Ras Gobana, Ras Ali Mikael of Wollo. The only thing Amhara about them was they spoke Amharic as present day TPLF does.

war adiga ethiopia jabkeeda maxaad uga naxi...everyone knows that amhara hate tigrays...there was even a video where mr "fok u " was telling how much tplf hate the amhara lol
lol@dominated by Gurage, You visited a few Ethiopian forums and you thing you know Ethiopia lol
Sebhat Nega maybe Gurage but Ginbot7 is fully funded by Amhara and its rank and file is largely Amhara, the Gurage and Amhara have a close relationship.They joined forces with another armed group EPPF which is also dominated by amhara. Asmara will support this group and others for the time being, they have a tight grip on all these northern opposition groups.
Ina iley feeds of what his bosses tell him. There are Tigrais that resent the Amhara and most of them are in the northern most Tigray provinces such as Adwa, Axum, Adigrat and some parts of Shire.
These regions have seen little or no Amhara contacts other than armies or Kings that spoke Amharic.
Then you have some parts of Endertans who have historical land dispute with Amharas such as Samra, Wolkeit and Humera just to name few.
But in the bigger picture most Tigrais are inline with Amharas.
EEGA,
Please stop embarassing yourself. G7 is under Berhanu Nega and most of his juniors are Gurage like himself.
Sebhet Nega is a Tigrai from Adwa and central committee member of the TPLF. He is the highest ranking official after Meles.
G7 has no armed front nor ally to fund their arms. Isaias limits resources for non-Tigrai rebels. He is a clever man.
The pictures are most definitely TPDM, even I can tell from their styling, macaawis janqaran adopted from ELF and EPLF later by TPLF.
The landescape is somewhere in Sarie highlands.
TPDM is the only baby Isaias nurtures as a Tigringya speaker. Like himself, almost all of them are from Tembien in central Tigray. Isaias is a clever man, he would never fund Amhara to return to power. Instead he wants Tigrais that respect Eritrea's sovereignty, ports and territory to hold down Menelik Palace on behave of all Tigringya speakers.
What you see in the above photos are these rebels who believe in Ethiopian unity and the flag of Atse Menelik. Most Tembien and Endertan Tigrais are okay with Eritrea too. Only those in Adwa and Agame (Adigrat) resent the Hamasien and Akele Guzai Eritrean highlanders.

You know who I meant, Berhanu Nega is a Gurage and most of the supporters of his organization are Amhara. Sebhat Nega is the old bastard that was sidelined by Meles Zenawi, he is also one of the founders of the TPLF. Last I knew he wasn't even in the Central committee anymore unless the structure has changed since the death of Zenawi.
U.N monotoring group ( biased against Eritrea most of the time) but they have detailed the training and equipping of G7 by Eritrea which has ironed out an agreement with them. Andargachew Tsige( high ranking leader of G7) was captured on his way to G7 training camps in Eritrea.
The report also indicated:
* A Captain in Eritrea military, identified as “Dawitt”, is in charge of the training and day-to-day operations for Ginbot 7.
* The overall supervision of Ethiopian armed groups(except ONLF) is under Eritrean Colonel Fitsum Yishak (a.k.a. “Lenin”), while Colonel Tesfaldet Habteselasie (in the President’s Office) is believed to be in charge of all foreign armed groups.
* Captain Dawitt had “instructed Ginbot 7 members to travel to Ethiopia to identify strategic locations and routes for the future movement of weapons. Areas identified were Awasa in the Great Rift Valley, Gewane in the Afar region, and Gondar in the Amhara region of Ethiopia”.
* The former Ginbot 7 fighters interviewed by the monitors, two indicated they had direct contact with Andargachew Tsige.
See how Eritrea respects ONLF, no micro-managing of ONLF.
The monitoring group describes them as a group founded by Amhara elites
Ginbot Sebat is a banned opposition group formed in 2009 by Amhara political elites committed to regime change in Ethiopia through armed struggle. The Monitoring Group has previously documented Eritrea’s support to Ginbot Sebat (see S/2011/433 and S/2012/545). In 2012, the Group received corroborating testimonials that three Ginbot Sebat fighters had been trained in the western military border zone under the direction of Colonel Fitsum. At the time, the Monitoring Group was unable to reach a conclusion as to the former fighters’ organizational affiliation or to verify their accounts of military training, but it did conclude that they had direct contact with Colonel Fitsum [Yishak].
You have big obsession with Ethiopia and it's affairs like that Luis stranger has with 1977 war. But the fact remains you remain clueless and I'm not sure why things are not registering with you. Ethiopia isn't that complex.
Right away anyone that is expert on Ethiopian affairs, ethnics, costumes and cultural and social structures will right away know those photos are no Amhara. Do not believe anything you see on the web. Some blogs twist things just to manipulate clueless kids like yourself.
To some also anyone that speaks fluent Amharic is "Amhara" hence why some think G7 is "Amhara" when in fact the top leadership is dominated by Gurage and the Gurage are mostly inline with Amhara views. The two are very close and cohesive people. The TPLF tried to create friction between the two and when it failed, it divided the Gurage into mainstream Gurage and Silte (Muslim Gurage).
Those pictures are all TPDM and they are inside Eritrea. There are no armed forces in northern Ethiopia. Amhara has no allies that would arm them in the region. You should know that basic. Eritrea does not trust Amhara returning to power as much as they hate TPLF. They will use few Amhara here and there for propaganda but never really arm them.
Their next option is Sudan hence Amhara need a safe haven close to their region where they can easily gain support and infiltrate. The TPLF does everything for Sudan just to make sure Sudan does not give them that base. TPLF awarded Khartoum disputed land and they will share the Abay Dam rewards with Sudan. Sudan also keeps open relationship with Asmara in order not to rely on TPLF and thus ensure they have the upper hand.
The Amhara have their own unit and its called ADFM.
The only armed unit truly but yet to inflict loses are the TPDM. They could ignite a full blown war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. They even provide protection/security to President Isaias. They are closer to him than some Eritreans such as the Serae and Akele as well as the lowlands.
