There were a lot of openness of biocide you will get it when you are all in im gonna nail its going to be you know im like an indian guy feeling. Later because south about 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 theyre going to think that the man who are going to be the head of. That group going to the good in one of the nuns commutable 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 in 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. Particularly running for me our region even threatening the government oversight and the fear. That such a situation is will. Disintegrate the nation cannot be ruled out at the state Parliament Building in the regions capital badar senior im her reporting from across the spectrum came together to listen to cathy o. P. s deputy Prime Minister to meet chemical met who derived from the capital to urge them to Work Together for peace it was a political without. Them. Yes and i love. It if im out there to our community. All the way to the office. But if you just go for the what. You say if abraham from naama was one of those in attendance. The amarah groups in the 1st district terms 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 has focused on local vigilante youth groups called the final like the carol 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. No indoor during that. Here and now going to touch other bless a little more labelling solemnity each other should be pretty chaotic but he said about the churchs drug assessor quickly acquired a cafe so lazy tarring blend in lager and. You know tiring of his which is. Your point across and i laugh and its a lazy i said elephant are you honest as a challenge in modern association i mean you know what thats what thats marketed rushed in. These young activists believe in the 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. Credible music a database. Disappeared to graeme i meant that i might have got a mixed imogen but 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 some of its not lets identify the phone and then live no. Body had just 110 hits it will not get at that. Allow you on a limited look i miss i was so it turned out of order to fit in. As a lot of the see. Mr donahoe nothing but i definitely know that amounts 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 chile that cheerleaders clearly want the Federalism Good and even tries to do that is 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 really go to 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 course but of course he. Would see how can a noble cause. I see more he did you got to let it is he meant to you given the internal jennifer not. That i would vary. My mileage. Because the. Comic only city in me during the group. Of him was only. Going to get. A minute of it but only i. Know can i know. We ask the Riot Police Force to answer these allegations but no one was available for interview so we put the questions to the prosperity parties where. The public. And the people around their start asking the question well you cant keep our peace in the security this is this was a politically questioned. 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 abbes wider vision for peace and a unified country. Cumbia. Gonna get the other you. Know the leno show lemony making. Him better but be given a. Highly motherly. Nevertheless even some of our base supporters worry that his efforts to bring law and order to book for media in 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 part of that would not accept is. A process whereby they had rigged the election even before the election day and my advice to leaders by members of a hang over them by blocking out of gaza thing 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 romo singer a child and theres a set of more protests in or near that lead to over 200 deaths in the mass arrests that followed joel 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.
