In the early 1990's, HRW reports on Ethiopia were grateful for the massive improvement in human rights since the ouster of Menghistu Haile Miriam, and nearly always prefaced their reports with the disclaimer that the situation was of course far better than it had been before 1991.

Furthermore, the present emphasis on ethnicity, which many Ethiopians fear will lead to the disintegration of Ethiopia as a state, is reminiscent of the time of the fragmentation of Ethiopia by the feudal lords after the enderassies snatched away the suveighainty of the emperors for almost a century.
The emperors were symbolic figureheads of the peoples of Ethiopia, whereas the enderassies represented the entire Ethiopia, despite the fact that they were not in control of the whole nation due to their military weakness.
Despite the fact that they are supposed to be representing all of Ethiopia by virtue of being rulers, they glorify their ethnicity and feel embarrassed and hesitate much to admit that they are Ethiopians.

 Emperors of Ethiopia
One curious feature about Ethiopia in the 20th Century is that, although its national religion remains confined to the homeland and expatriot communities, the existence of the Empire, at a time when only one other fl state in Africa was independent, inspired relgious developments elsewhere.
While Ethiopia had preserved its independence and Christian religion for centuries against Islâm, constantly enduring the depredations of Arab slavers, many, or most, of whose male victims were castrated, many foreign fls now blame and reject Christianity for the Atlantic slave trade which took their ancestors to the New World.
Ethiopia and her religion thus receive some respect from a source that, in general, one might have expected to be relatively unaware of the country and relatively hostile to the religion.

On the other hand, when they felt that they were strong enough or oppressed too much, they defied their authority, refused to pay tribute, and even fought them.
Another reason why the Tigrean elite resent the Amhara is they see them as obstacle to the consolidation of Tigrean power since they are afraid of the greatness in number of the Amhara, their seasoned experience for 700 years in warfare, diplomacy, the political arena and bureaucracy.
Theoretically speaking, however, most of them can't be the supporters of the TPLF, since the TPLF doesn't have much regard for their religion, history and culture which it negates as being feudal and backward, regardless of the fact that it is working round the clock to industrialize Tigray.
