As a state, what do you intend to do against perpetrators of hatred, divisions & murder? Those so-called strategists, in reality power mongers, claim they're in charge of the state whose face you are! Do you owe your existence to merchants of ethnic divisions. It breaks my heart

Thanks! That is my story too! Though a product of Oromo father and Amhara mother, I have always been proud ETHIOPIAN by choice! https://t.co/N97IFhRRSn

Why fragment into ethnic identities? Citizenship is more powerful under democratic system! With growth & dev't, societal trend points to future merged identities –citizens. That's also what th int'l system asks of me during 'trsnsactions' as X's citizen, not my ethnic identity!

Ethiopiawinet & Oromuma ar never in conflict. Ethiopia's promises to build democracy & ensuring every citizen's equality can obliterate histo.injustices. Let's struggle as ppl & citizens & win what's ours as a right. We learn from history, ceding isn't all cure or sole recourse!

Whosoever has provoked th Burayu mayhem's succeded with their tribalism, hurting innocent ppl & forcing Ethiopia into a passing phase of self-doubt! It thus is th duty & responsibility of th state to comb out th culprits, lest lose affection & trust th nation has reposed on it! https://t.co/iOHEbD5V23
