>be Christian, Semitic Abyssinians>expend your empire to the Horn and African interior>Oromos and Somalis outbreed you>half of them become Muslim>they claim to be the "real Ethiopians">lose your high caste status after the monarchy fell>now fight civil wars to break free from the multicultural country that you created
>>18751695Your post is retarded since the only ethnic group on that map which is predominantly Muslims are the Somalis. Oromos are like a 50/50 split between Christian and Muslim.All other the ethnic groups combined are 99.4% Christian and 0.6% followers of indigenous African religions.And yet there is NO violence between the Somalis, Oromos, and other ethnic groups in Ethiopia.No, there is a civil war that keeps going through hot and cold spells, but that civil war is between supporters of the Christian government and Christian Tigrayan separatists.>Multicultural country you've created Historic Abyssinia has always been home to 20, 30+ different ethnicities and to Coptic (Ge'ez) Christianity, Western style Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and indigenous religions.There has never been a time it wasn't like this.Yet again we have another American picking a random country he knows absolutely NOTHING about and talking total bullshit he invented in his head, that is bullshit which directly correlates to his own domestic political culture war ideas.

>>18751767Cut the crap, your argument is just the same tired shit that's posted here constantly, which is: "multiple ethnicities living near each other leads to chaos and ruin!!!"Clearly you've never read on European or Chinese history.
>>18751695Amharas should just join Eritrea at this point
>>18751801How are Europe and China doing in comparison?
>>18751695>they claim to be the "real Ethiopians"Somalis don't claim to be Ethiopians
>>18751801Chinese history is just flooding the peripheries with (Han) bodies until 'the minorities' are irrelevant hill tribes kek
>>18751767>How's that been working for them?It worked pretty well until commies came to power.
>>18751695>>18753061Somalis have to be the worse separatists in the whole existence. Who, in their right mind, would want to separate from a stable country and with the most promising futures to join into whatever the excuse of a "nation" that is Somalia.
>>18753254>from a stable country Ethiopia is far from stable, its in the middle of another civil war.>to join into whatever the excuse of a "nation" that is SomaliaMaybe because they wouldn't be treated as second class citizens in their own lands? Oromos are raiding a Somali town as we speak because the federal government is allowing it.
>>18753277>Ethiopia is far from stable, its in the middle of another civil war.Stable by african standards. Also same instability that is created by them and their separatist ideas.>Maybe because they wouldn't be treated as second class citizens in their own lands?That's an exaggeration, but even if true, they joining Somalia would make things that different? If any Somalis have always been very tribalistic, if any.Hell, Somalilanders are also Somalis yet they don't want to be part of that shitshow they call Somalia.
>>18753327>Also same instability that is created by them and their separatist ideas.The main fighting was always between the non-Somali groups who try to take control of the country>they joining Somalia would make things that different?Not right now but in the future yes since the country is gradually improving.
>>18753346>The main fighting was always between the non-Somali groups who try to take control of the countryThat's true, but still, Somalis are not helping to their cause with their actions.>Not right now but in the future yes since the country is gradually improving.At what point Somalia is improving? How much time they need to get their shit together?Shitloads of countries have tried to stabilize the situation there and all attempts have comically backfired. Probably only Haiti is in a worse situation.When the independentist rogue states and the rebel pirates have better organization and logistics than the supposed official government, you know you are screwing things really hard.
>>18753529>Somalis are not helping to their cause with their actions.Who's cause? Ethiopia's? Well like the other person said Somalis never identified as Ethiopian to begin with>At what point Somalia is improving? How much time they need to get their shit together?I'm not a seer but in terms of the security situation, the government and its local allies has attained control over most of the country whereas over a decade ago the Al-Qaeda branch running around had control over most of the south. >Shitloads of countries have tried to stabilize The entire shitshow in the country currently was thanks to America's botched regime change attempt from 2007-2009.
>>18751695>they claim to be the "real Ethiopians"There is no such thing as "Real Ethiopians" because being "Ethiopian" is closer to a civic-nationalist identity than a racial one.Being "Ethiopian" is basically the same as saying being "American" because "Ethiopians" were just all the subjects of the Emperor regardless of race or tribe. It was an imperial demonym, in first place.
>>18751960>joining the African North KoreaNot the smartest thing they could do.
>>18754383But since they have don't have an Emperor anymore, why should all these peoples stay together then?
