According to what I've heard the Amharas and the Sidamas have historically not gotten along, though I'm far from an expert on this subject, so I don't feel confortable adding anything to this article about this yet.

Copyright violation edit

An anonymous user added a large amount of text from various articles at http://www.sidamaconcern.com. For future reference, running a Google search on the text in question did not result in links to that website. (The editor in question had posted the link, so that's how I found it.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply


People lets be neutral for the sake of public information. There is university in sidama zone (debub university)and I personaly know a lot of female graduates. Sidama people wasn't that oppresed during feudal regim. Lets not reflect and copy paste political reflection. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.214.205.62 (talkcontribs) 12:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sources edit

It is a positive thing that an anon editor added references for a number of statements, but furnishing only the stub of a Harvard citation does not help very much -- are "S. Y. Hameso, Trevor Trueman, Temesgen M. Erena 1997" & "P. Bruno Maccani 1989" books, articles, or even more of an ephemeral medium??? -- llywrch 04:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

3,7% free of any fancy believing? edit

The sum of the % of abramitic religions believers is unfortunately 81,4% which, added with the 'traditional believing' is 14,9, total 96,3%. What about the clever 3,7% NOT CITED? Are they free from insane fantasies? GianMarco Tavazzani (talk) 03:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
