The essence of this commentary is the prevailing hate and genocide of the Amhara
people orchestrated by the joint actions of TPLF and OLF and their respective
supporters. This Amhara-hatred propaganda may have originated due to foreign
influence, such as fascist Italy. A current article by Eshete (2012) titled the Origin
of Tribalization of Ethiopian Politics: From Fascism to Fascism gives a clue for the
marginalization and infliction of harm to Amharas. Eshete (2012) discusses the
contents of the book “Abyssinia the Powder Barrel” authored by Baron Roman
A Synopsis of the History of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church
The history of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church is contemporary to the history of Ethiopia. Written Ethiopian history starts with Queen of Sheba (Makeda) traveling to Jerusalem to seek and learn wisdom from King Solomon around 1000 B.C. Queen Makeda returned to Ethiopia conceiving King Solomon’s child and converting her religion to Judaism from worshiping idols. When Makeda’s child king Menelik I returned to Ethiopia after visiting his father in Jerusalem, mysteriously, one of the entourages that Solomon assigned to him carried the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia without the knowledge of either Menelik I, king Solomon, or the clergy. King Solomon did not attempt to get the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem.
