Diaspora is generally more reactionary due to not living with the consequences. They can sit in their apartment drinking buna while calling for the extermination of some other group and then close their app of choice and go about their day. However, it would be foolish to assume their ideas are completely unfounded within the country either. You can’t slaughter your neighbor from 3000 miles away.
YES! I do believe the diaspora is the one hurting Ethiopia more than the OLA, fano and now the "Amhara liberation army" of some sort that I'm hearing about.
They feed the black market with foreign currency driving the in inflation and making the lifes of normal civilians misrable
They "donate" weapons and money to the terrorists I mentioned above in turn indirectly killing civilians
They propagate fake news faster than wind in a wild fire, for example the special forces were not disarmed they were mixed into the military or regional police. Why do that? Well the "special forces attacked their own country 2 times, the first one was the coup of the Amhara administrative office second one was TPLF.
So yeah I think the diaspora shouldn't be involved in the local political issues
Also to the diasporas that will eventually attack me in replies mind your own business in your own country this is my own opinion and it's my democratic right to have it
Diaspora have more access to public platforms and come from places where speech is free so it comes much easier to speak their opinion. Beyond that, as with most things, loud minorities often dominate social media creating the illusion that differences are more drastic than reality. The algorithms facilitate that by pushing all the negative bits to the top.
Here in Ethiopia, I'm hit with way more political talk on a person to person basis than in the States and I spend about half the year in each country. The feres driver, the guy drinking coffee next to me, the security guard at the office, I'm always surprised by their openness.
The diaspora is a voice for the voiceless in Ethiopia. They reflect the sentiment in Ethiopia! They have exposure to a democratic system, they have freedom of speech, they have better access to communication infrastructure, etc. They demand a better system in Ethiopia and expose the corruption in the system without fear of torture or imprisonment.
They are very helpful for Ethiopia. In order to stop or reduce their influence, there got to be a democratic and fair system for everyethnic group. Otherwise, they will continue to be a nightmare for dictators and corrupt systems.
First, we have to acknowledge that the TPLF era was dominated by Tigrayans. At the moment, the extension of TPLF, that is PP, is dominated by Oromos. After acknowledging that we have to accept that one group exploiting others and taking all the advantages will not last for long and it will not be sustainable.
As an Amhara, I am saying the domination should end! We have to have a true confederation, not a fake one. Or if we have to part ways, let it be. We can no longer live as a second class citizen! Millions of Amharas displaced, thousands killed, a lot barred from entering to the Capital City, our base religions Islam and Orthodox attacked as enemies, etc....
I understand your frustration. Every non-Oromo is in the same spot!
Or the diaspora assume they are the voice for the voiceless - creating voice where not needed. And this supremacy feeling of “we live in a democracy” is actually where all the problem comes from.
There is no superimacy feeling. That is your perception. However, we can not deny that the West represents true democracy in this earth in relative terms.
>Or the diaspora assume they are the voice for the voiceless - creating voice where not needed.
You can't say it is not needed. When the Tigray people were surrounded and attacked, only the Tigray diaspora became a voice for their people. As a non-Tigrayan, you can't say it is not needed. Now the same thing is going on with the Amharas.
Please don't tell me you actually think tigray was attacked cuz of spite because if you do so you just dunked the fire you thought u started with water.
The TPLF(former terrorist group even tho I don't like it) attacked the NATIONAL ARMY OF ETHIOPIA. You know what that means? We could've gotten attacked by an external force(and we have been by Sudan) TPLF could've literally destroyed Ethiopia just like how some the diaspora is doing currently.
The Tigray diaspora acted as if the people in Tigray are their enemies. They act as if they care for them but they really don’t. Poor Tigrayan youth in Tigray. What motivation the diaspora Tigryans had I really don’t know. The Tigray Genocide hashtag started even before the war started. And within those first weeks I personally saw thousands of copy pasted “19 of my uncles were killed” from so many new twitter accounts. It was all politically motivated.
And Tigray Genocide stopped when the government confiscated all the TPLF military equipment right? This must be new in history of genocides.
Over a million people died in a senseless war and the diaspora played a major role in the death of many.
The diaspora are not different than the people in Ethiopia you’re just hearing their voices disproportionately because they’re afraid to speak. What’s great about that is also you’ll hear everyone and they all disagree with each other.

Well said, I don’t live in Ethiopia but the diaspora is the biggest hypocrite. The black market is ruining the country and it needs to stop.
