The Main Mistake of Oromo Rulers, from Er. Menelik to Dr. Abiy, is Despising Afaan Oromo and Revering Amharinya!

Surprisingly Oromo rulers were despising Afaan Oromo and revering Ge'ez as well as Amharinya in the last about 3000 years. It started to happen  because of the beginning of writing in Ge'ez and translation of the holy books to this language. It is logical and natural for human being to respect and value language of literature, especially when it is associated with the worshiped divinity. This is the previlage which Amharinya got vis a vis Afaan Oromo. Thus, Oromo rulers and elites wished to learn Amharinya and neglect Afaan Oromo. Such tendency of being Ge'ezized as well Amharanized continued till the emergence of the OLF about 50 years back. It was the OLF, who attempted to reverse this process and thought Oromo peaple to be proud of our language - Afaan Oromo. It also promoted Afaan Oromo to be language of literature and that of holy books. Now, our people started to respect and revere Afaan Oromo. But, our rulers (Dr. Abiy er al) are still commiting the same mistake done by previous rulers like Mengistu, H/Silassie, Menelik, Yekuno-Amlak....etc. They all promoted Amharinya at the cost of Afaan Oromo. I think, the main cause we have to struggle for must be promotion of Afaan Oromo to the primary working language of Ethiopia replacing Amharinya. The main working language of the palace, the parlament, the cabinet, the court and other institutions need to be Afaan Oromo. All Oromo nationals can have this issue as our common agenda. All other issues are secondary to this cause of promoting Afaan Oromo.

Now, no question that Oromo nation is free from both assimilative Amhara elites and hegemonist Tegaru elites. The problem we do have is the very procrastinating approach of the OPP in answering Oromo questions, being very cautious not to offend its Abyssinian partners (APP and TPLF). Our hitherto main issue was that of bilisummaa/freedom. That is now already answered. Our here forth focus will be mainly on promoting Afaan Oromo to federal primary language. There is no justifiable reason to hinder this process. All other Oromo questions are subordinate to this issue. We can even opt for geo-federalism and for Finfinne as only capital of Ethiopia, not necessarily under Oromia; the common flag can be green-golden-red and the name of our country can continue to be called Ethiopia. As long as Afaan Oromo will be the primary working language of Ethiopia, surely the whole country will be de facto Great Oromia. The Oromo should not necessarily fight for self-adminstration of Gadaa Oromia. Others can ask the Oromo for their either autonomy or independence. We need to fokus on consolidating Aangoo Oromo in Cafe Araaraa palace and promoting Afaan Oromo to federal level.

I hoped that the future leaders of Oromo liberation movement will try to think autonomously and will try to make themselves free from possible manipulation of global system of Western dominance as well as from local manipulation of the TPLF and other forces in order to lead us to Oromo’s national freedom with territorial independence, be it within or without a beneficial union of free peoples in the region. I was not too naive not to register the fact that it was not as such simple to be free from such influences and manipulations, but I encouraged our leaders to do their best under the dire circumstances in promoting Oromo cause by forging and using unity for freedom. So, despite the global hindrances and in spite of the local dysfunctions told by the Professor, I considered unity for freedom as a virtue, not as a vice, for our movement!. Now, after freedom, the only thing Oromo nationalists should strive to achieve is Afaan Oromo as the pri.ary working language of Ethiopia, Amharinya being secondary based on the number of speakers.  May Waaqa bless Great Oromia and the Oromo!

One obvious reality you failed to Admit is that Geez followed by Amharic has had a written language for centuries in Africa. Oromffia used to be written in Gezz but OLF thought that writing in the in Geez is the worst thing ever and opted out to Latin. Which would have made learning each other languages much easier. Now you want to impose Oromina without learning Amharic. What a dummy idea. Here is a key to your problem. Ask others to learn your language by being willing to learn theirs. When you try to impose people react negatively,so stop doing that. The blaber you wrote over is so dummy to comment on it.

What an Idiot ?? Fortunately, the ldiots are in the fanatic branch and olf animals are with empty skull. Indeed, if they were smart enough, they could have implemented two approaches: 1) charm offence , 2) use Amharic alphabet. Thats it. By charming, you can attract others, and by using Amharic alphabet people who are attracted can learn the language fast and easily. But the Idiots have no brain and now this Idiot fantasizes the impossible. Remember, Oromuma is just galluma,, no more no less.
