ሊበሉዋት ያሰብዋትን አሞራ ይሏታል ጂግራ

✦

“The vulture they intend to eat, they call it 'jigra' (a type of game bird).”

Meaning

This proverb signifies the act of slandering, demeaning, or giving a bad name to someone or something that one intends to harm, exploit, or take advantage of. By mislabeling a vulture (undesirable for consumption) as a 'jigra' (a desirable game bird), they are attempting to rationalize or justify their harmful intent, often by discrediting the victim.
