Hi Everyone, my Name is Gyrofrog, I am not Ethiopian, Eritrean, nor a Horn African, but I am an White Caucasian American Expert on the Horn of Africa Region. I received my Certificate of Horn African Studies with a Concentration in Ethiopian Histography and Politics from Trump University. The best political party in Ethiopia by far is the Tigray People's Liberation Front, I really love their ethnic nationalist and ethnic federalists ideologies, that lead to ethnic segregation in Ethiopia and throughout the Horn of Africa region. My most favorite politician in the world is the late former Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of the TPLF, even though most people in Ethiopia regardless of ethnicity and most other world leaders describe him as a racist dictator, I love the way the TPLF fought for self-determination by segregating the people by ethnicity relegating them to apartheid-style Bantustan-type regions, ordering several massacre's throughout Ethiopia, Eritrea, and other parts of the Horn of Africa.


"The Amhara is a master at deception . With straight face and convincing manner he will relate the most preposterous fictions. The Amhara themselves tend to be aware that this is one of their characteristic activities." (Wax and Gold by Donald N. Levine, page 250)[7][8]

Interested parties may wish to visit my website, Gyrofrog Communications.

In January 2012, I completed a Wikipedia Signpost interview about WikiProject Jazz.

Some articles I've started

Many of these involved little effort on my part. This is more of an indicator as to where my interests lie, in case anyone's curious.
