    How the Educated Elites Lost the Plot as the Tide is Turning: Using Education to Inflame Rather Than Heal

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-11-132025-01-21

    by Elemoo Qilxuu When I saw these three people, the screen characters from The Three Stooges came to mind, albeit in a darker way. The Three Stooges evoke a mix of slapstick chaos, quick wit, and timeless, absurd humor that holds a special place in comedy history. But for these three Amhara elites, what replaces...

    The Comedy of ErrorsOn Mr. Habtamu Tegegne's Extremist Racial Tirade

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-11-03

    Introduction Look no further! I’m not talking about Shakespeare’s play. I’m simply borrowing its title as a metaphor. A "comedy of errors" typically describes a situation marked by a cascade of mistakes, misunderstandings, or coincidences that spiral out of control, often with humorous or absurd results. When people refer to a scenario as a "comedy...

    The Brazen Arrogance of Idiotic Charlatans: Claiming Credits They Never Owned

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-05-09

    Imagine Nazi sympathizers ramping up their propaganda efforts to falsely claim credit for the victory achieved by the Allied Powers, all in a bid to maintain their grip on power. Their narrative spins a tale of liberation and freedom, attempting to convince the masses that they were the ones responsible for the victory. However, this...

    Battee Urgeessaa Is Gone, Who Will Be Next For Koree Nageenyaa's Gestapo?

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-04-112025-01-21

    An accomplished Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) political figure was assassinated last night. His assassination was made to coincide with one of the major religious holidays, Ramadan, presumably calculated to bury the news amidst the celebratory atmosphere. The cruelty of the Ethiopian regime is only matched by the character of the martyr, Jaal Battee Urgeessaa, renowned...

    WALLO OROMO'S VALOR: DEFIANCE AGAINST GENOCIDE

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-03-20

    In the heartland of bravery, Wallo Oromos stand tall, 400 years of resilience, enduring the genocide call. But in the shadows of dawn, during sacred Ramadan's grace, Fanno's terror strikes, preying on a fasting weakened race. Separated from brethren, by lines drawn in cruel game, Abyssinians' hands, carved out, leaving Wallo in quarantined shame. Oromia's...

    ETHIOPIA'S 6 BIG LIES FUELING ITS IMPENDING COLLAPSE

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-03-132025-04-22

    Ethiopia’s looming collapse, the article argues, stems from six enduring lies that distort its identity and history—from the myth of a 3,000-year nation and claims of never being colonized to the illusion of unity and heroism. These deceptions, sustained by political elites and echoed through propaganda, have fractured trust, erased diversity, and silenced truth. Unless Ethiopia confronts these falsehoods, embraces genuine federalism, and addresses historical injustices—particularly against the Oromo—its instability will deepen beyond repair.

To get the clue,...
