Mr Cohen midwifed TPLF to power; TPLF+OLF established current system. He uncritically bought their narratives: pre 1991 Ethio was under Amhara hegemony that rulers were all Amharas, despite none identified themselves as such nor governed as such.

He adopted OLF & TPLF’s hatred of Amhara as his own. Last year, upon the news of the killing of so-called Amhara Region officials that the Fed govt alleged was attempted coup, he had

this to say. He was giving ammunition for a potential mass violence against Amhara people.

After outcries and anger,
@CohenOnAfrica apologized.
But he keeps failing upwards to offer “solutions” for Ethiopia’s problems—which he’s incubated.

Unlike the late Paul Henze or former US Amb to Eth
@AmbShinn whose knowledge about Ethiopia is very good and has nuances, H Cohen simply regurgitates TPLF narrative.

Had opportunity to run by him last Oct. I asked him whether he knew Mengistu HM was not Amhara? He didn’t know.
He then he only recently learned Haile Sellasie had Oromo linage.
Without irony, he told me “Meles Z taught me everything I know about the Amhara”. I kid you not.
