There were a lot of openness of bias i dont get it when they are all when im going on an ielts im going to be you know im like an indian guy feeling. They took up as such a bone looked because its had. d d yet the violence hasnt just been in oral media across the nation hundreds have been killed in clashes within them between different ethnic groups its come as a shock to a nation in which the vast majority has been yearning for quieter times. With some i romo unhappy about the direction hes taking the country may have hoped to counterbalance their own ease with support from howrah ethiopias 2nd largest ethnic group. Not only did they help put into power but they supplied many of ethiopias routers over centuries of imperial rule and might have been expected to sympathize with the Prime Ministers plan ethiopian ambitions. But over the last year they too have been affected by the ethnic tension that in some minds stems from a threat of a row move again many and a breakdown in National Security incidents in 2019 made things worse. These come higher a parents want to know whats happened to their children last december 20 of them were kidnapped while stood university in or romania there were protests across some horror demanding the government do more to rescue them sooner i mean in the not however much in the weather that im mistaken because the government of the dead man who are going to be the head of. That group going to think it didnt come into being on cooking the books and you and him to this day no one knows whos holding their children a whether theyre still alive for somehow or a people still sometimes maligned for their once dominant role in ethiopian history such incidents are a painful reminder that they no longer control their own destiny the narrative that the big people oppressing other nations. Is our only matter and that is what does it resulted in the killings and discrimination of thousands of americans the. Narrow local politicians are listening to peoples concerns about this rising insecurity Yousif Abraham is the vice chairman of the National Movement of m harra a newly formed ethno nationalist party thats fighting to protect them how to run the country its a dick politics has already brought authority to the only da mara people would love beyond in the enterprise finding the perfect establishment in this turbulent situation was necessary for our people and we came forth. There are Security Problems in many locations in the country.

P. s deputy Prime Minister to Meeker Mcconnell who derived from the capital to urge them to Work Together for peace the critical of the ability without. Them. Yes. It is im out of our community. All the way to the office of mayor but if you just go for what. You say if abraham from naama was one of those in attendance. The amarah groups in the 1st district lines are working together things are getting improved this culture should be. The baseline for working in the nation. Today with political elites struggling to find consensus both within their own ethnic groups and with others many worry that young ethiopians are becoming radicalized. In that concern is focused on local vigilante youth groups called the final like the kero they have also been accused of killings but their members insist theyre filling a security void left by a government that no longer patrols their neighborhoods and villages i meant through. Law and order him i am on that. Here and i like my grandmother bless her little more labelling solemnity cherish him protecting added but he said about the churchs track assessor could look like a film so lazy tiring. And. You know tiring of his which is. Your Political Center left and so lazy. Are you honest as i said challenge a modern association i mean you know what thats what thats marketed rushed in. These young activists believe in a united ethiopia. And see themselves as both the beneficiaries and defenders of m harras imperial traditions the biggest worry here is the divisive rhetoric they say is coming from other parts of the country joined on the other some. Credible mitigate the pain. It greatly or meant to a much harder a mixed imogen a thriller with a less chips who looks beautiful lovely. For more than 30 years the im higher have been labelled as the fold rulers of ethiopia but now that title belongs to the people of the tea great region here in northern ethiopia. Having been ousted from a central role in the countrys affairs 2 years ago by the a romo protest movement and subsequently sidelined by some here are worried about what the future may hold for their Minority Ethnic Group numbering only 6000000 of ethiopias 115000000 population. Have not been from the its not lets i know its a phone from the phone i now live no. Body i just want to hug and kiss it will not get a death to allow your little me to look i miss i was so i turned out of order to fit in. As a lot of the see. Mr donahoe nothing but ive definitely been a bit a month as honest as i was one of the lot of them have been going to go through without a lot of the. Although the idea of leaving the ethiopian state is gaining some traction here its not yet a position supported by the recently ive stood to grand leadership the t. P. L. F. Which led the National Coalition government to post and 28 team. They were the key architects of the current constitution here which. In 1995 divided the country into 9 ethnically based regions. To grans say this federal system gave marginalised ethnic groups a measure of self rule after a century of imperial and autocratic rule headed by the arm her. But Prime Minister are based reforms particularly his move to create an on ethnic party of National Unity have been met with strong opposition here to grains we spoke to said they fear that they will dismantle the federal system they created any decision that stands in the way of our selfgovernment is absolutely an excerpt of his chili that cheerleaders clearly want the Federalism Good and if you tries to do that hes going to create a conflict. That. I. Wouldnt want to imagine get it to read it is an executive Committee Member of the left and was the spokesman for the previous government he believes theyve been unfairly scapegoated for the difficulties now facing the nation so for us it was a matter of admitting to having failed as a party as a coalition to address the problems of the that have been be dividing this country and the leadership of the Prime Minister. Is now willing to to really come to terms with the fact that the country is lighting towards chaos. Last month despite being told not to by the government the ticker a region ran their own elections the t. P. O. Left won a landslide victory putting them on a collision course with our base government which could further threaten the stability of the federal system. But Prime Minister abbott has been pushing back against his critics in particular taking a tougher stance and his own ethnic state in western south or romania the Ethiopian Army has been engaged in a decades old conflict with the romo separatist insurgents a conflict that abyei has as yet been able to resolve. Indeed his critics accuse him of failing to prevent human rights abuses by state Security Forces against armed insurgents and civilians. In variety a time on the outskirts of the capital addis ababa we met a number of a romo men who claimed theyd been beaten by police after a local officer was gunned down in a suspected attack by a roamer separatists. I dont care what i want a couple of days how would a more kind of. Us look at governance is handed out to see how can a noble cause. I see more he did you got to let it is he meant do you get an enemy to the internal or not. But i would very. Mildly. Comical the city imagery during the group. Of who was. Going to get. A minute or 2 but only had one look at them or. Know can i know. We asked the Riot Police Force to answer these allegations but no one was available for interview so we put the questions to the prosperity parties. The public. And the people around there and start asking the question well you cant keep our peace in the security this is this was a politically question and. Question for the government in the final it was the government. Decided to take me there is this. Its already its tekken now things are on the diversity its also the case that the governments attempts of reform have found support amongst key sections of a romo society these are all more elders say they understand why some of their youth are unhappy but they also see a base wider vision for peace and a unified country. Cumbia. Gonna get the other you. Know the early notion lemony making. Him better but be given a. Highly. Nevertheless even some of our base supporters worry that his efforts to bring law and order to vote for mia the country at large could have been playing into the hands of his most significant opponent joe mohamad whom we met at the start of this photo. If they beat us in their feelings without restricting our Movement Without killing getting our members will accept. We have no problem would not accept is. A process whereby they originate election even before the election date my advice to leaders by members of a hang over them by blocking out of gaza is how that right now would not accept that. That particular standoff seemed to come to a head in june this year when the murder of a hugely popular a romo singer a child and theres a set of more protests in our media that led to over 200 deaths in the mass arrests that followed joe mohamad and some of his supporters were detained allegedly and possession of a large cache of weapons hes now in prison awaiting trial on charges of terrorism charges he describes as baseless. But not all is always as it seems. In these tense times its friday morning in mccalla capital of t great amid worsening relations between ethiopias ethnic groups even football takes on a political dimension today a team from high rise in time and passions are. Political not something. Thats the. Not limit thats the one. As the match kicks off a heavy security presence keeps a watchful eye. The match ends with an ill troll but as the final whistle blows the away fans make a rush towards the. The the was there was. A. Everyone here welcome to the reaction of the fans of both sides in this coming together they saw a glimmer of hope that ethiopia can still find a peaceful route towards a better future. But its got. To do with the woods on the one and not voted to cut it out. And yet i got im not disputing that thats. Going to go to the left i know youre not going to look so youre. Not going to be said. They are for me. As a man gets enough i was like its not i was a new part of me wanting money to be you and the to know i said that i did and im so damn good talking about. How.
