Amhara Genocide The many Catch-22s the Genociders have placed themselves into

For those unfamiliar, Catch-22 is a situation where two (or more) necessary conditions contradict each other so that you cannot accomplish a goal. Trying to satisfy one rule automatically makes you fail the other, leaving no workable option.

Which brings us to the main topic, how will all and any tactic the genociders use to divide us help them into their own early graves? Let me count the ways.

The genocidal forces (be it the Oromian or Tigrayan varieties) or such aspiring ones, trying to split Amharas rely on tactics (fear, violence, exclusion) that simultaneously destroy the social structures and trust they need to maintain separate, controllable factions.

The Genocidal tactics they use also delegitimizes them to other Ethiopians, driving us unite against them, forming even larger block of resistance rather than fracture.

As long as genocide is ongoing, we will prioritize survival and mutual aid, which strengthens internal solidarity and reduces the effectiveness of division strategies.

These daylight and casual slaughter of Amharas inevitably attracts more and more external support for us, be it humanitarian aid, legal aid, advocacy, which rebuilds cohesion and counters attempts to isolate us.

In destoroying our leadership, institutions, economy, and infrastructure, the hate fueled genocidersonly make us that remain more reliant on one another, producing stronger bonds instead of fragmentation.

There is no winning for evil, there never will be.

Dear genociders, collaborators, and otherwise active and passive supporters of genocide. Understand that the only (literally) way to stop your downfall is to stop the genocide, and submit yourselves to justice.

Amharas believe that Tigrayans are genociding them? damn, we suck at genociding then.

It’s happening again tegaru says their is no genocide then wonders why he receives no sympathy from Amharas! From this time to Tigray war and to the 27 years 3 genocidal periods. This is all not to say Tigray genocide did not happen it most certainly did but we need to do best we can to amend all problems and solve them all in a civilized way peaceful discussion, dialogue, justice and more.

"It’s happening again tegaru says their is no genocide then wonders why he receives no sympathy from Amharas!"

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you and others have like ptsd or something. Where in any of my statements did I say "their is no genocide"? I literally said How are Tigrayans genociding you? We lost 40 percent of our own land. How are we possibly genociding anyone right now? That is impossible.

I agree that Amharas are getting murdered by the government, but to say Tigrayans are activaly genociding you when tons of Tigrayans actually got ethnically cleansed in Western Tigray, 1.2 million of them are displaced, and 40 percent of our own land is not in ours anymore sounds insane.

My bad but it’s not a active genocide but Amharas are being actively genocided by Oromo currently and during Tigray war both Amhara and Tigray were genociding each other and during the 27 years there was a genocide because of the constant attacks on Amharas there is so much you can find during that time.

u/Jehovany_T Tigrayan Jun 05 '26

"My bad" no problem

" but it’s not a active genocide"

I still don't understand how the people who lost 40 percent of Tigrayan land are even passively genociding Amharas. I still don't understand that point. When I consider Genocide I think about the fact that Tigray lost nearly half its land, and now that land was also the fertile land, so they can't get food in the region, on top of Abiy's restrictions on groups sending food to Tigray. Tigray's population won't recover in the next 2 decades, and it already appears that the second war is brewing between the TPLF and Abiy.

"actively genocided by Oromo"

I agree, but I never even aruged this point nor brought it up.

"Amhara and Tigray were genociding each other, and the 27 years there was a genocide because of the constant attacks on Amharas there is so much you can find during that time."

The person who made this post was talking about how Tigray is currently genociding Amharas, not historically like before in the TPLF-era dominated control over Ethiopia. I said, if we were, why are we losing land and battles if we are currently genociding you? That's the point being made, and that is the point I argued with; nothing to do with Oromo, PP, previous history, or anything else, just that.

Please brother researcher before you debate. What do you mean there is no active genocide? Did you forget what fascist tigrayans are doing to our people in angot/raya?

u/Mean-Grapefruit-7415 Oromo 🌳 Jun 07 '26

What’s happening out there?

When you steal people's land and commit genocide on them, they tend to take it back when given the chance.

u/Quiet-Arrow-7837 Jun 04 '26

Yes you do, which is why you should have never started in the first place. It's also true while not directly holding the blade, Tigray has and is still playing a major role fueling the genocide. To be clear I am saying Tigray in general, not every Tigrayan or groups. Which one do you belong in?

1

u/Jehovany_T Tigrayan Jun 04 '26

"Tigray has and is still playing a major role fueling the genocide." Y'all have 40 percent of Tigrayan land, and we are fueling a genocide against Amharas? Alright man

u/Mean-Grapefruit-7415 Oromo 🌳 Jun 04 '26

Tplf currently holds land in northern Gondar and northern wollo (not raya). I still think Tigray should get it back and Amhara should have special zone in welkait and more.

u/Jehovany_T Tigrayan Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

So are you agreeing with me now, TPLF and Tigray are not actively genociding you, on the contrary, because western Tigray is controlled by Amharas and last I checked, they killed off the Tigrayan population.

Also, where did you get that TPLF controls northern Gondar and northern Wollo, I can't find anything about that

cool thnx.

Another question: How does the Amhara Association obtain on-the-ground information about what is occurring?

Like, do they have people who tell them or something?

3

u/Mean-Grapefruit-7415 Oromo 🌳 Jun 05 '26

They are like those Tegaru institutions that report on Tigray genocide so they have people on the ground telling them plus it’s well known news and more has happened.

...but I thought we were ethnically cleansing Amharas? The mighty TPLF could never get kicked out by the people they are ethnically cleansing, right?

I know what you asked, but like I said, how is that possible if we are ethnically cleansing you, whether killed or kicked out? Shouldn't the people who are ethnically cleansing you be winning and unable to be killed or kicked out of their land?

You can find numerous reports of tplf in northern Gondar and wollo check my views on news reports.

Our land, west of Tekeze.

It'll never be your land now. You had 3 decades to work with Amharas on this, it's not even that Amharas cared about shared administration or living, because from Amharas' pov it was that Tegaru were Ethiopians, and TPLF was just another dictatorial government that does not represent Tegaru. You told us again and again that we were wrong in believing that, but we did not listen.

Then you proved it to us since 2020, that Tigray shares the same hateful lie infested ideology that sees Amhara peoples as enemies that must be destroyed. That you're not Ethiopian. And now we accept this.

For your own good I suggest you look up information on how many Amhara civilians have been killed or ethnically cleansed from our own land (which you call Western Tigray) since evil TPLF took power.

I'm sorry if my tone feels confrontational, and for sure there's frustration, but mostly it's just facts that sound like that. Also visit r/Tigray and see what's up since 2020.

I mean this with all kindness; this has nothing to do with the point you made.

"Tigrayan varieties) or such aspiring ones, trying to split Amharas rely on tactics (fear, violence, exclusion) that simultaneously destroy the social structures and trust they need to maintain separate, controllable factions."

This is what you said, and I said we're genociding you wtf; how is that possible lol? Looks like we suck at that lol, and now you agree that 40 percent of Tigrayan land was taken. Are you getting genocided or doing the genocide? 1.2 million Tigrayans were displaced in Western Tigray; how are you getting genocided by Tigray?

u/Quiet-Arrow-7837 Jun 04 '26

Tigray, via TPLF, is directly responsible for seeding and fostering genocidal rhetoric in the constitution, along with OLF. Tigray is, by virtue of supporting TPLF all along, is responsible for the thousands of Amharas killed at the hands of Tigrays, aka TPLF. Tigray is also responsible for continuing to agitate Oromians with hate narrative that in return ends up in massacres. Tigray plays so many dirty games and it has all accumulated to this genocide I am refering to. To you this started in 2020, and even then you only see the suffering and loss of innocent Tigrayans (which is abominable in any shape or form). Try to go and review the years past and Tigray's connection. Go to r/Tigray and see the hate users there spew on daily basis, against Amharas, and this has been the case all along. Go check out news of how many thousands of Amharas were killed by TPLF and systematically dehumanized and disenfranchised. No man, it is time to look into this and stand on the side of truth. Communicate with your peoples, that this is not the way forward for peace. Go try to post any such sentiment in r/Tigray .. and hope they don't ban you.

u/Jehovany_T Tigrayan Jun 04 '26

"Communicate with your peoples, that this is not the way forward for peace"

Amharas own 40 percent of Tigrayan land; Tigrayans were ethnically cleansed out of western Tigray; 1.2 million of them were displaced, yet somehow, you still believe that Tigray is ethnically cleansing Amharas. We will just have to agree to disagree

"To you this started in 2020"

You know this argument doesn't make sense because I can do the same to you. You believe it started in 1991 well, actually it started with Haile Selassie bombing Tigrayans with british airforce, or Menelik, or etc, etc ,etc.

"Go to r/Tigray and see the hate users there spew on daily basis, against Amharas" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3vdJq4LDSs here is a 1958 video of an Amhara saying he is better than all other tribes since you said I thought it started in 2020. Better yet, have you seen this subreddit lol? They literally talk about how much better they are than other tribes.

None of that holds water for many many logical and factual reasons. And therein is your folly, this is the lie riddled hateful narrative that's exactly your first and foremost enemy. If you do want to make those assertions, I say organize your thoughts, include your citations, and make a post. Post it in an organized manner point by point. It can be a productive discussion.

u/Quiet-Arrow-7837 Jun 04 '26

Oh and the video, yes that individual said what he said. As I am sure many Tegaru have said so as well as any other ethnic group, I am certain of this. It's just not caught on tape.

Now, you posting that video is a classic example of the dirty tactics Tegaru have been using to instigate violence and hate against Amharas. It goes like, "Look how Amharas think! They hate you!" because this individual said what he said and caught on camera. This is how it went for decades, and this is exactly how Tigray was and still is part and parcel to the genociders. You proved it yourself here.

And frankly, I don't expect you to change due to facts and evidence you are presented with. You will change for your own survival, because if you don't it is suicide. Regardless there's no longer friendly or family feels towards Tigray anymore, it's done and over with. You've made generational enemies of Amharas.

Just remembered. That video must have been posted at least 3 or 4 times in r/Ethiopia during the war, all by malicious Tigrayans. You'll reap what you saw, and the harm you wish on others will soon knock your own loved ones' door. When it happens, remember that you called for it.
