"...Presently Ethiopia is ruled by the Tigreyan ethnic minority but they want us to be believe it is a unity government, governed by all ethnic groups, who administer their regions according to the interest and needs of local population. Of course it is true they have set up multi party system of different ethnic groups in the regions, but it is a facade. Because it is the ruling ethnic party, the Tigreyans who are in complete control of the country and have a population of only 4-5 million people. While the two largest ethnic groups are the Oromos with 30 million and the Amharas with 25 million who dominated Ethiopian politics for decades in the past while the rest of the other smaller ethnic groups are watching Ethiopian politics helplessly and it is obvious the Tigreyan ethnic minority are the once who have the final decision on the destiny of Ethiopia at present. Even the so called ethnic leaders of the multi party system are being used as vehicles to promote the interest of the minority government and nothing else..."
