No Peace While People Live within Sacrilegious Ethnic Boundaries Since the Will of God and Satan’s Project Would never Co-exist!
Religious and ethnic boundaries are the most dangerous boundaries on earth since they are the most common reasons for ethnic cleansings and genocides. The traitors looked at the colonialists’ map drawn to divide and conquer Ethiopia and built blood-shedding ethnic boundaries throughout the country. Since these ethnic boundaries were installed between the very people that lived in harmony for thousands of years, Ethiopians have been deprived of living in peace let alone exercising their God given rights. Unfortunately, their former serfs and the satanic ethnic boundaries remained in place, and they continued causing endless wars and intensifying ethnic cleansings and genocides of ethnic groups, especially Amaras throughout the country. Peace and Unification (Tewahido) are biblical chapters, but Ethnic boundaries are Satanic verses.

Six million Americans carried guns daily in 2019, twice as many as in 2015
But public gun-carrying has appeared to increase rapidly in recent years. A 2015 study by the same researchers, using the same methodology, had found that 3 million adults said they carried a loaded handgun daily, and 9 million did so once a month. Demographically, those who chose to carry a gun in public in 2019 were more likely to live in the south, the study found. Only about 8% of handgun owners and carriers were at the lowest income level, making less than $25,000 a year. The 2019 gun-carrying study was based on the self-reported behavior of a nationally representative sample of US adults living in firearm-owning households.
