As we all knows that Col. Mengestu Hailemariam mass assassinated more than 60 Haileselassie`s Cabinet Minsters in one sweep assassination. What is funny is, almost the entire assassinated Cabinet minsters were from Single Tribe (Showa Amaras/ Debub Amaras). Because, during showa tribalism era of (King Menilike and King Haileselassie era) only showa Amaras(Debub Amaras) were promoted to minsterial positions.
Back then during Showa tribalism era If you were not neftegna showa Amara you were considered as second class citizen, specially if you were oromo you are considered and treated as inferior Slave.
