Belayneh Abate
For more than half a century, the Amara people have been the targets of so called “Liberation Fronts” which are led by insane people suffering from inferiority complexes. Amaras have been thrown in cliffs, massacred everywhere, and displaced throughout the country. No one has been held accountable for all these insurmountable crimes, and the kidnapped university students are completely forgotten.
The massacre and the displacement of Amaras is progressively getting worse and the voices against these atrocities are muted by prostitute intellectuals supporting the new Ethiopian People Democratic Front A.K.A. Prosperity party. It is unjust and subhuman to be silent when these people are hunted like American deer in every corner of the country because they were born Amara. It appears that working, hoping, and wishing for ideals predisposes to extinction.
Ideally, we hope the world to be fair, compassionate, and free of corruption and crimes. In realty, the world is full of corruption, unfairness, injustice, and murders.
Ideally, we want the globe to be free of racial, sexual, religious, social status or other forms of discrimination. In realty, the globe has been inundated with any forms of discrimination since the birth of mankind.
Ideally, we wish the honest, the loyal and the just govern nations. In realty, the liars, the traitors, and the criminals rule countries.
Because the liars, the traitors and the criminals rule countries, the earth has been Hell for the weak since the era of genesis.
As philosophy teaches, the wise man Socrates was voted to death because the liar and the unjust rulers mislead the public that Socrates was corrupt and against all Gods.
As scriptures teach, Christos was crucified because of his liar accusers, who preached that he was against the Laws.
As history teaches the shrewd Europeans enslaved the naive Africans, Asians and Latin Americans using bible as their entrance gates.
As we know, the Jewish people were massacred by the Nazis because they were blamed for all the problems of that time Germany.
Similarly, the Amaras have been massacred, imprisoned, tortured, displaced, sterilized, and subjected to illiteracy and starvation because they are blamed for all the problems of the country. The elimination of Amara has continued and a large number of them are currently displaced from their mother land, the land their forefathers protected through their blood since the earth was created.
Despite this survival threat , we still talk about love, unity, reconciliation, forgiveness and may other empty words. In principle these empty words could bring universal peace. In realty though, these empty words protect the powerful and appease the weak as it happened in South Africa and many other places.
In addition to listening to the undeliverable ideal preaching of the hypocrite prophets, the victimized Amara should realize the fact about survival in a hostile environment. This survival fact is what Richard Connell said in his beautiful writing, the Most Dangerous Game: “The World is Made Up of The Hunters and The Huntees.”
The Amaras people should realize that their hunters do not understand the concepts of love, unity, reconciliation, forgiveness and living in harmony. The Amaras should understand that the hunters will never stop hunting them unless all Amaras are united and declare NO MORE the Huntees any longer!

What do you mean by “the huntees?”
I think he means “One who is hunted”. I checked it in the dictionary and it makes sense.
