The spectacular implosion of the Tigryan political class is a cruel epitome of self-destruction in a spectacular fashion. With the Oromo political class, the problem is that it hates the Amhara more than it loves itself. Stuck in a reverse gear, its political energy is wasted trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Of the 3,106 schools that administered the 12th grade (secondary school leaving) examination for the 2022/23 academic year, 43% reported that none of their students had passed. And, for the second consecutive year, more than 96% of students who participated in the national school leaving examination scored less than the mark (an average of 50%) required to pass.
