I'm officially calling it, Ethiopia is finished. Maybe not now, but within this decade it's sure to collapse. As this article from 2007 perfectly explains, the only important rivalry in the Horn of Africa is between the Somali and Amhara, nobody else really matters.
'Somalia larger than 'Ethiopia' - in real terms
Somalia may even look smaller either as surface or as population but it all pertains to ostensibly weak Mathematics.
Somalia’s surface is estimated in encyclopedias as ca. 640,000 km2; this is definitely wrong as one should also add the occupied Ogaden, a purely Somali region illegally invaded by Abyssinia at the immoral, colonial times of the Scramble for Africa whereby Abyssinia fully participated colonizing many independent countries. Ogaden’s surface
totals ca. 280,000 km2, and as Ogadenis passionately desire to unite with Somalia, there is no reason for any long-term consideration to specify Somalia’s surface as less than ca. 920,000
km2.
‘Ethiopian’ surface is officially proclaimed to be ca. 1,120,000 km2; suffice it that you take Ogaden out, and Africa’s single surviving colonial tyranny is left with a surface ca. 840,000 km2. This means that, if we only cut Ogaden off 'Ethiopia’, as its Somali population passionately desire, the rest of ’Ethiopia’ - does not belong to just one but to many peoples - is already of a smaller surface.
Somalia -920,000km2 and ’Ethiopia’ - 840,000km2 or less? Montenegro with 70,0000 inhabitants managed to achieve independence, it would be myopic for the US administration to assume that Ogaden will not - further proceeding then uniting with Somalia.
However, if we do not calculate Ogaden as ’Ethiopian’ territory, again Ethiopia’s surface should not be estimated at 840,000 km2 because like the Ogadenis, many other peoples want to abandon this dystional and anachronistic colonial relic.We will find the details,when examining the population of the two countries; again at this level, ’Ethiopia’ helps produce a sort of trance to those examining superficially and comparing llogically.
Somalia - a 17 million people Nation
Somalia’s population is estimated at around 11 million people (totaling inhabitants of
present states of Somaliland, Maakhir, Puntland, and Southern occupied territory); to this we have to add 4.5 million people who live in Ogaden, and thus, without calculating Somalis living in Djibouti, Kenya, parts of ’Ethiopia’ other than Ogaden
and the Diaspora, we get a clear picture about the Somali population totaling 17 million.
‘Ethiopia’ is a colonial state established out of the participation of the Abyssinion Amhara kingdom in the scramble for Africa, and following the illegal and anti- historical usurpation of the name of Ethiopia by the besotted and manipulated pseudo-king Haile Selassie, who was a miserable puppet of the British and the French colonials. With Ogaden seceded, ’Ethiopia’ accounts for 70 million people and a surface of ca. 840,000 km2.
Afars will soon secede, and therefore they do not count for ’Ethiopia'. However, if we consider that approximately 2 million Afars, living Afar Land (97,000km2), ardently strive for National Independence, willing to merge with the Afar living
in Djibouti and Erltrea, and thus have control over the strategic African shore at the Bab el Mandeb straits, we come to the conclusion that with Ogadenis and Afars seceded, 'Ethiopia’ accounts for 68 million people and a surface of ca.
743,000 km2.
Compared to unified Somalia(920,000km2), Ethiopia’ if deprived of the right to tyranize Ogadenis and Afars, starts to look small; but this is only the beginning.
With Ogadenis and Afars out, Ethiopia: 68 m people - 743,000 km2 surface modifications would occur in the aforementioned figure, if the Anuaks
and the Nuers (the outright majority in the Gambella province) and the Berta and the Gumuz (the outright majority of the Beni-Shon gul province population) secede.
Massacred in the Cenotaph ’Ethiopia’, all these Nilo-Saharan populations aspire to independence or union with their fellow citizens in Sudan and South Sudan. As the Gambella and Beni-Sh on gul provinces’ areas total respectively 25,800 km2 and 49,300 km2, and their populations amount correspondingly to 250,000 and 625,000 people, ’Ethiopia’ accounts for 67 million people and a surface of ca. 668,000 km2. But these figures are again wrong!
Significant alteration will incur to above figures with the Independence and Secession of the various nations that have been malignantly and dictatorially regrouped within the in-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region of today's 'Ethiopia'. Terribly persecuted and mercilessly butchered, the Sidamas (ca. 33%
of the region’s population),the Shekachos, the Kaffas, the Kambaatas, and other
tyrannized nations want fervently to form their national homes. Some of them outnumber several European nations that have achieved independence before many decades.
Without the Southern Nations’ Region, Ethiopia: 52 m people - 556,000 km2 surface
In brief, the machination of the in-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region is truly atrocious; whereas the Democratic approach should be to establish various federal provinces, with the major nations of the area separated, and
with each language promoted as official language of each province or state, a wider scheme was invented so that not a single language of all these nations be possibly accepted as official!
On the contrary, Amhara was imposed in their stead, although it is absolutely alien
linguistically (Amhara is Semetic, and all these peoples are either Kushitic or Nilo-
Saharan), and loathsome -politically.
Not one indigenous in the said region
has Amharic as a mother tongue.
The current unbearable situation is the result of a criminal act, which would hypothetically correspond to a Nazi imposition of German as official language in WW-II Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Poland; what even Hitler did not dare impose during WW-11 was tyrannically enforced in 'Ethiopia’.
In the so-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region, all the different
nations regrouped total 15 million people; the region’s surface is 112,400 km2. Considering the
genocides perpetrated by the criminal
Amhara and Tigrays under different totalitarian
(monarchical, communist, pseudo-republican/
bogus-federal) regimes in that region, we have good reason to anticipate these peoples’ secession and self-determination within several national statehnods whereby each nation’s language will be the official one - not alien Amhara.
With them gone, fake ’Ethiopia’ will be left with ca. 556,000 km2 surface and 52 mmillion people.
It would look far smaller than Somalia, yet more populous. However, one should carefully study the
following.
Somalia - 920,000km2 and ’Ethiopia’ - 556,000 km2 or less?
Left with ca. 556,000 km2 surface and 52 million people, fake ’Ethiopian’ tyranny would not consist in a national state. It would still be a most loathed - by its own citizens - African Gulag. It is noteworthy to add that the word ’citizens’ in the previous sentence is a figure of speech. The racist Amharas have always considered the Oromos as 'insects’.
Following the propaganda, and monitoring the
activities of the Neo-Mazi Amhara party Kinijit, we have reason to believe that the Amharas never regretted and never repented for their political terminology and racist ideology.
One gets a more illuminated understanding of’ Ethiopia’, when noticing the Oromo
depredation for the erratic, counterfeit and faulty Millennium of the anachronistic and totalitarian Amharas and Tigrays, who idiotically call the Gueze Millennium the 'Ethiopian Millennium’.
As the African tyranny’s largest nation, the Oromos form the quasi-totality of the population of Oromia, and the majority both, Diredawa, and Harar (the two cities regions). At the same time, Oromos are the largest group in Finfinne that the Amhara tyrarmy illegally re-baptized as 'Addis Ababa’. Oromio is the country’s most sizeable region with a surface of ca. 354,000 km2. Oromos throughout the country amount to approx. 29 million people.
With so many brave records in terms of National Resistance, the Oromos are expected to trigger the decisive shot at the heart of the loathsome corpse ’Ethiopia’, thus prompting the dissolution of Africa's most inhumane and illegitimate state. With the Oromos seceding the name Ethiopia will be lost to the Amharas because it historically belongs to Kushitil nations and not the Semitic Amhara aliens.
Without the Oromos, ’Ethiopia’ will be left with an area slightly larger than 200,000 km2 and with a population of around 23 million people. Even worse, the country will be left unnamed, as the Oromos, receding and establishing an independent state, will rightfully take with them the name of the country, as Ethiopia corresponds to the Ancient Kushitk Kingdom of Meroe, in the area of today’s Sudan, and only the Oromos and the Eastern Kushites in general have right to it.
With the Oromo Ethiopian Republic fixing its capital at Finfinne, and following the
obliteration of the otherwise ignominious and absolutely useless name of Addis Ababa’, the remnants of the tyrannical state still would not represent a national state.
Without the Ethiopian Oromos, Abyssinia: 23 m people - 200,000 km2 surface
Neither Amharas and Tigrays will be predisposed to live together, nor Tigrays will be willing to still be a landlocked state separated from Eritrea; and as the majority of Eritrea’s population (particularly after the secession of the Afars, who are regrouped around Assab) are the Tigrinya and Tigre speaking people, ’Ethiopian’ Tigrays will find it normal to merge with Eritrea’s largest part into a new state of Abyssinia.
As the Tigray region has ca. 50000 km2 surface and there are pprox. Tigrays in today’s ’Ethiopia’, with their secession and merge with Eritrea, the situation will start finally becoming
clear.
Tigrays to secede and merge with Eritrea, Agaws to declare Independence
It would then be the correct time for the Christian Kushitic nation Agaw, who have been erroneously and tyrannically included in the Amhara region territory, to secede. As they account for approx. 1 million people, the Amhara region will thus be finally characterized by homogeneity, and consequently approx. 17 million Amharas will be regrouped around Gonder and the Tana Lake region.
It is only through these anticipated developments that one can better evaluate what the real
power of the Amhara-founded and (only
currently) Tigray-led colonial state of Fake Ethiopia is.
With the Agaws and the Abyssinian Tigrays gone, Amhara Republic: 17 m people 140,000 km2 surface
The postcolonial situation in ’Ethiopia’ will leave approx. 17 millions of Amharas in
control of a 140,000 km2 state around Gonder, their capital.
So, in real terms of surface and population, today
the US are confronted in the Horn of Africa with the following choice, namely a partner selection among the three
largest nations - states:
Oromo Ethiopia - 354,000 km2 - 29 million people (currently nonexistent)
Somalia - 920,000 km2 - 17 million people
(currently divided and partly occupied)
Amhara state of Gonder - 140,000 km2 - 17 million people (this barbaric tribe was the moving force of fake, tyrannical ’Ethiopia’ for long
although they were overshadowed by the Tigray tyranny of Meles Zenawi order the
past 16 years).
Somalia - 17 m people/920,000 km2 vs. Amhara State - 17 m people/140,000 km2
This is the baste rapport de force that one has to take into consideration. The frontal
opponents at this moment, i.e. the various groups of Somali opposition to the 'Ethiopian’ occupation of the Somali South, and to the Tigray dictator Zenawi, do not represent but a very recent Abyssinian - Somali battle episode. In this long fight, it was not the Tigrays but mainly the Amharas who led the anti-somali side.
One has to bear in mind the current circumstances of the Ethiopian’ - Eritrean rivalry and the opposition between the two leaders of the same ethno-religious background, Zenawi and Afeworki. The rivalry and the war may have helped both to survive, but the Tigray experiment in ’Ethiopia’ is about to expire.
Observing the movements of the Kinijit Amhara chauvinistic and racially prejudiced party, one understands that they try to return in power, rejecting even the identity and the existence of the oppressed nations of the incredible, tyrannical realm.
Simply, they want to replace the Tigrays in the government, having been deprived from the benefits of tyrant rule for 16 years. Unrepentant colleague of the communist dictator Mengistu, the leader of Kinijit Hailu Shewul is a repugnant figure of Brezhnev-times and a shameless relic that dares travel to America and meet Congressmen in order to convince them to possibly trust him and let him perform one more genocide in ’Ethiopia’. The merge of the Tigray region with Eritrea may just be a matter of time.
Consequently, one has to translate the comparison Somalia vs. 'Ethiopia' to the very real rivalry Somalia vs. Amhara - this is the correct term.
Somalia vs Amhara State
This is the nucleus and quintessence of the comparison, because with the aforementioned we mainly drew the conclusion that fake Ethiopia (Abyssinia) is a hollow substance and a technical entity that we should not let confuse us in the process of an accurate evaluation of the balance of power in the wider Horn of Africa region.
With the same population, the two nations originate from extremely different backgrounds.
Differences of Idiosyncracy, History and culture
The Amhara are an isolated, solitary, intolerant and untamed people living for millennia on East Africa's most arid, desolate and worthless mountains.
The Somalis, with an illustrious past which exceeds that of the Amhara Abyssinian by at least 1000 years, are a gregarious and extroverted people spanning over more than 3000 km long coastline, sociable and tolerant, the Somalis have been highly skilled merchants and navigators, forbearing and lenient, open to new ideas, cultural influences of all sorts, and more importantly, people from diverse backgrounds.
Persians, Yemenites, Dravidians, Indonesians, other Africans, Turks, Jews, Egyptians, Aramaeans, Arabs, Greeks and many other nations interacted with the Somalis - always benevolently and mutually beneficially.
Somalia: Land of the God, Ta Netsher in Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics
No wonder why in Hatsheput's time - 3500 years ago - Egyptians considered Punt, as they called today's Somalia, as Ta Netsher ie Land of the God.
Somalia geo-strategically more Important
Somalia is not only 6 times larger than the Amhara Gondar circumference, but also far more significant at the geo-strategic level. The Amhara territory is geo- strategically null; landlocked, located south of the Tigray territory and Eritrea and north of Oromia, partly bordering with Sudan and definitely small, the Amhara mountainous terrain cannot possibly interest any significant regional power, let alone global powers and superpowers.
Somalia offers full control of the straits Bab el Mandeb, ideal locations for naval and airbases that ensure the upper military hand over a radius encompassing Madagascar, Mozambique, Congo, Chad, Libya, Egypt, the Arabs Peninsula in its entirety, the Hormuz straits, Iran, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and most of the Indian Ocean. No other Indian Ocean coastal land offers similar possibilities.
Somalia economically more Important
At the economic level, Somalia represents a far more valuable place to invest, and this is not said with respect to the Puntland’s Oil resources. Somalia’s soil contains significant unexploited reserves of iron ore, tin, bauxite, copper, natural gas, and quite outstandingly uranium, without mentioning other minor resources like gypsum and
Salt. With 3000 km long coasts of incredible beauty, Somalia can become the next big success in the History of Tourism. Agricultural products, fisheries, and low cost labor force complete the picture.
Contrarily to Somalia, the Amhara territory
is devoid of important resources; most of the natural resources of Fake Ethiopia are not found in the barren Amhara territory. Almost all the significant industries and plants are located
in Oromio and Ogaden, and most of the agricultural exports originate from Oromia and the Southern region.
Analyzing political discourses of the oppressed nations’ leaders, one understands the
critical, economic reality of the Amhara Abyssinian tyranny; the most important of the reasons that triggered the late I9th and early 20th century Amhara invasion and occupation of vast foreign lands (which formed the shameful colonial state of
Abyssinia, i.e. fake Ethiopia) was the deliberate slave trade, which followed, and the premeditated exploitation of the occupied territories’ natural resources. To these economic realities, geomorphological conditions, and historical facts is mostly due the purely atrocious and genuinely inhuman character of the Amhara worse-than-Nazi tyranny.
Stripped from their illegal control over natural resources that do not belong to them, the Amharas will profile on permanent basis at the very bottom of all economic records, indices and lists. They are therefore absolutely useless for the planning of any regional or global power.
Somalia geo-politically more Important
Geo-politically, Somalia is also far more important than the anemic and barren territory of the onmi-loathed Amharas; the mountainous, barbarian and heretic Abyssinians are despised and repudiated by all neighboring nations, various ethno-religious groups, and diverse establishments. Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia,Turkey,Iran, Morocco, Pakistan, India, so many and so different countries, have always maintained mediocre relationships with 'Ethiopia’. In Israel, the local authorities know much about the well-concealed but real anti-Semitism of the Amhara debteraw, the illiterate puesdo-Christian priests of the Abyssinians.
Somalia on the contrary represents a sort of diachronic, historical bridge between Eastern African Cushittc nations, Arabs speaking countries, Bantu speaking peoples, Dravidians, Iranians, Turks nations and Indonesians.
