He is false maker the TPLF regime professors they teach false history then need tribes war by expansion of Tigraye they are bloodthirsty i think for future bloodshed they have responsibility About Welkait, Tegede and Telemete Ras Mengesha is enough eye witness about history they have not evidence we defend them that is our alternative only.
We, Amharas (one of the largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia), are making this online petition against Adjunct Associate Professor Ghelawdewos Araia, who is working at Lehman College in African and African-American Studies. The Professor has given an interview on 24 March 2016 to the Voice of America Radio Program in Tigrigna language. During his interview, he cited a book originally written in The Portuguese language by Manoel Barradas and translated to English by Elizabel Filleul. The book is translated into English language and titled as ‘Tractatus tres historico-geographici (1634): A seventeenth century historical and geographical account of Tigray, Ethiopia (Aethiopistische Forschungen)’
In the interview, the Professor deceived the radio listners by deliberately twisting a true historical account recorded by the original writer. He said that the Tigray province of Ethiopia in the 17th C has been large enough to include the Wolkite Tegede area (an area which is forcefully annexed by the current ruling party from its original owner- the Amhara people). As it is clearly depicted in the first chapter of the above-cited book, the Tekeze River has bounded the Tigray Province, and the Province has never transcended beyond the Tekeze River to include the Wolkite Tegede territory. Despite the clear language that the writer has put the territorial limit of the Tigray Province, the Professor has shown a propensity towards the illicit territorial claims of the ethnic group that he belongs. And in fact, it is an apology for the people that has been committing grave human rights violations against the Wolkite Tsegede Amhara People for the last four decades.
The Professor has inaccurately cited the book to favor his ethnic group and to vilify the legal claim of the Wolkite Tegede Amhara people who has been living in the area since time immemorial. As an academician, his role should have been opening a platform for discussion and accurately referring an authority to underpi
