The Amhara Fano Resistance and Counter-Offensive emerged out of the primordial instinct for survival ! The genocidal Abiy kleptocracy committed horrific acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the AMHARAs, who exhibited extraordinary patience and forbearance in the face of various levels of atrocity against them over 45 years some of the worst genocidal massacres having been perpetrated in the last five years ! Hence the cause of the Amhara resistance is abundantly justified !
The Amhara armed resistance is only a few months old, but it has already shown remarkable progress in terms of singleness of purpose, organisation, popular support and success on the battlefield ! The Abiy regime denied delivery of fertilizer to Amhara peasants during the planting season, implying attempts to weaponize hunger as a means of subjugation and possibly of mass murder! The unintended consequence has been a massive peasant uprising against the regime, which has automatically allied with the Fano insurrection !
Progressive improvement in the supply of military personnel and provisions , logistics, organisation, and mass support is turning the Fano Resistance into a formidable fighting force ! Time is on Fano’s side as it is being utilized for sensitising the entire Ethiopian people about the sinister intentions and objectives of the Abiy regime ! Fano’s morale and fighting spirit have grown in intensity and outreach !
By contrast, Abiy’s genocidal kleptocracy is being increasingly shunned by the people as it continues to wage civil war against the AMHARAs and foment strife and conflicts in Welayeta, Gambella, Affar and Gurage ! Political divisions in the top leadership and humiliating reverses in several battles in Amhara killil have weakened the regime’s grip on power which indicates that time is working against the genocidal kleptocracy !
The major factors working against the regime include the following:
1.ignobleness of its core objectives.
2.loss of popular support.
3.unbearably worsening economic hardship including hyperinflation and burgeoning unemployment.
4.increasing criticism and condemnation of the regime by the international community.
5.defection of soldiers from OPDO/OLF -dominated so-called Ethiopian army to the Fano Resistance and Counter-Offensive !
All the above-enumerated factors are in time working against the regime while the Fano Resistance and Counter-Offensive is visibly growing from strength to strength over time ! Time is definitely on Fano’s side !

I don’t know about time, but justice is surely on Fanno’s side.
NO body nows about time, but defeat and shame is surely on Fanno’s side.
Dream on, if you are saying the FANOs will lose, even a Superpower couldn’t stop them, let alone a beggar like Abiy Ahmed, who is begging all over the place.
First, the US, “I will fight for you, I will die for you” and then, Russia, he might tell them the same thing “I will fight for you, I will die for you.”
Abiy Ahmed is dying for everyone.
We cannot wait for him to die for Ethiopia.
I hope the FANOs help him with that.
Enough, with this worthless idiot, a laughing stock of the whole world, Abiy Ahmed would be an example of stupid fool, for everyone.
Here is a suggestion to FANNO to save Amharas and the country.
Once again in our recent history, Amharas have emerged as the holders of the master key to solve Ethiopia’s multifaceted problems. How? By opting for confederation.
Amharas have no choice but to move for confederation simply because ethnic federalism in the Ethiopian context or in any other country’s context has not worked except for those who seized state power.
A multi-ethnic country under ethnic federalism, Ethiopia will not have a fair and free election and govern without the opression of one or another ethnic group. Hence, democracy is an illusion that cannot be realized under ethnic federalism.
The way Oromo rose to power and now control the entire country through proxy regional governments is the proof. Tigreans have done it for the last thirty years and Oromos have stepped in Tgreans shoes to impose similar one ethnic group rule.
With their number and the size of their region, Oromo opressive rule will be much worse than Tigrean`s. Give another two years to Oromo rule, Ethiopia will be the tail of the whole world by all standards of measure.
So, it is time for Amharas to exercise their constitutional right to self-determnation and vote on confederation. If they adopt conederation, it will give them the opportunity to attract direct foreign investment since confederation will enable them to have economic diplomats and even have embasies abroad cutting the Oromo controlled foreign ministry diverting foreign investment to Oromia and other favoured regions. Amharas can also have a defense force which will protect them from foreign invaders including attacks of ethnic Oromo organizations. Full control over the resources in the region without interference from the ethnic fedrealist rule is certain.
The Belgian model of confederation which appears to hep advance amhara interests is something to explore.
In any event, Ethiopia needs vast decentralization resembling confederation since the federalism the country has adopted is notheing other than unitarism in disguise. Controlled from the centre, it has miserably failed to develop the country let alone prosper and ensure safety and security of its citizens. The chaos we see in the country right now has much to do with lack of development (in all sectors) and security. Both have proven beyond the capacity of the ethnic federalist government to provide. Change of government at ethnic federal level is not the answer for these problems.
Tigreans have floated the idea of confederation or separation even if they pretend to remain part of the country for the moment to get federal budget and borrow money from local and international sources in the name of Tigray and obtain direct foreign assitance and aid. They are being treated by the feds as a de facto independent state receiving foreign dignataries and opening diplomatic offices abroad. Tigreans know that they will not be fairly treated under Oromo rule because the federalism in place cannot be reformed to realize equality; as a result, their choice of confederation or separation appears just.
Amharas must seize the opportunity to decide their destiny via self-determination as well without wasting another year under incompetent Oromo rule. Despite all the atrocities they have committed on theselves, Amharas, Afars and many others, Tgreans are embraced by the Oromo rule since Oromos now feel tobe the only savours of Ethiopia.
Folks! Don’`t be fooled!. Oromos pretend to be “savours” only if they rule the entire country as one piece. Like any other ethnic group that aspire to oppress and dominate ,they are after resources rather than equality, democracy and respect of human rights.That’s why they are unwilling to drop ethnic federalism which CANNOT be reformed to accept equality of all peoples in the country. Democracy is dead and buried under ethnic federalism.
If Amharas want to be heard and embraced as Tigreans, they have to go for confederation. Once confederaltion is implemented, talk about non-thnic based federalism and negotiating a new constitution is possible. There is no country that moved from ethnic federalism to non-ethnic federalism directly; the short cut to this long process is recourse to confederation first.
If confederation is not accepted, Amharas will be better off if they say good bye to the ethiopian state. It is outdated for Amharas to hang on “mama TOBIA” cry since nobody in the country is interested in it any more. What Amharas got from this cry is atrocotoes, redicule and shame. All these on Amhara because they gave Oromos and other ethnic groups a country which they are not ready and willing to let go. If Amhara insist on confederation, Oromos might call the army on it to « protect » the unity of the country! That will make them a laghing stock since they were in the forefront to weaken the unity of the country. Now they cannot be alllowed to reverse gear.
Amhara! Wake up and smell the cofee. Tell Oromos that you want confederation – if not confederation then separation. Oromo crack down will soften even disappear as it did for Tigreans if Amhara opt for confederation. But the idea is not to see Oromo softening on Amhara, it is to seek real confederation as a wayout from decades long quagmire and pave the way for a talk on a new constitution. Oromo softeneing take Amharas no where.
Try it! It will work and catapult Amhara development and growth to the sky and ensure your security. It will eventually liberate Oromos too from their bloody distructive path poised to take everybody else down them.
FANNO – make this BRIEFpoints your motto and win – Amhara economic freedom including control of its natural resources; direct diplomatic relations to attract foreign investment and aid; its own defense and security forces; democracy backed by free and fair elections in the region by regional political parties only; no ethnic federalist party to run for office in the region.

TAZABI NEGN,
This is stupid nonsense, abominating nonsense, brought to you direct from the TPLF!
They are now defeated, and have become the beaches of ODP, and Abiy Ahmed and gangs, they want to use now Amhara to achieve their objectives, the objectives they have failed miserably to achieve, they have sacrificed millions of Tigraeans youth, all for nothing!
Well, dream on, you idiot, but you would do better to wake up, the dream is gone, there would be no country called Tigray, by whatever nonsense mechanism you are hoping to achieve it, it is now a question of narcissism, narcissistic wound, it would get worse, trust me!
I don’t think you would take advise and stop coming out with this idiotic nonsense and plaster it all over the place, the same cleverness of your lot was what killed millions, continue to kill more, all for your narcissism and stupidity.
Anyway, whatever you do, leave FANO alone, they don’t need your advise.
Someone as deluded as you would be better of shutting their pie trap, that is a very good advise, take it, man.

TAZABI NEGN,
This is nonsense, no one would ask you anything, except your fellow TPLF cadre, desperate ploy of the mostly dead TPLF.
The mostly dead TPLF who is servant of Abiy Ahmed, and his Oromo gangs, ODP and OLF.
Abiy Ahmed gave TPLF a little bit of life and he wants to keep it between alive and dead and use it to subjugate the Amhara.
The physically dead, who has been brain dead forever is twitching doing Abiy Ahmed’s bid, hoping to be given Amhara land.
Now, people like you come to realize that could never be, and have come up with the kind of nonsense you have come up with.
It wont work either, it is a lost game, the dream of greater Tigray is gone – the smallest possible Tigray is the only reality.
Even better, it would be best if there is no Tigray at all, distribute the remaining area to the other regions – back to what was the status.
There was no Tigray, or a region called Tigray – it is a recent invention, Halie Selase’s invention, there was a small wereda only, that is all.
In any case the people who live in so called Tigray region would now be better of if there no Tigray – gone back to being small werda.

It’s not only economic ties wiith foreign governments that Amhara needs, the ties should include political, cultural, military and social issues. This begins with neigbouring states, expand to involve the continent and then beyoond to the whole world. I can’t wiat to see that happen.
