Obsession goes both ways. I personally see no much difference between Ethiopians and Somalis. they are our brothers in more ways than one despite our minor differences and history.
Great song!
The woman is half Oromo half Amhara just like entire city of Addis. You'll never see an Ethiopian artist (Amhara) from Gonder etc. which is a traditional Amahara town, doing an "appreciation song" though. The highlander Amharas still hear stories of Ahmed Gurey, so what do you expect them to think about Somalis. Habeshas, Oromo and Gurage living in Addis or Harar get along with Somalis. It has nothing with ethnicity, it's more of a class issue. The rich vs the poor, no matter ethnic group but back then the elite was predominately Amhara. The non elite Ahmaras suffered just like the others.
During the famine in Ethiopia during the 70's, Haile Selassie didn't care about anyone but the elite. Many Amharas and Tigrays died while Haile and his elite were stealing land and cattle from certain ethnic groups. The same famine occurred in parts of northern and north eastern Somalia. The socialistic government in Somalia resettled families from the areas where the famine was widespread to new settlements in the south, even teaching them farming and fishing. So that they wouldn't be dependent on livestock even though that was the traditional way of life.
I've never heard of Somalis being obsessed with Ethiopian culture, history etc. however some of their food is a big +.
