Oromo Leadership of Gadaa Democratic Rainbow Ethiopia!

It is already clear. Henceforth, Ethiopia will be legitimately under the leadership of the Oromo and Oromummaa. The ongoing cry of Amhara elites can not change the game. It seems that Dr. Abiy Ahmed is coming to his sense and back to his Oromo camp. His attempt of trying to appease the Neo-Naftagnas already backfired. The canning Amhara elites tried to use him just as they did to Mengistu H/Mariam. To some extent, they were successful. They used him to crack down on both Oromo and Tegrau nationalists. Lastly, they also targeted Dr. Abiy himself and his Oromo prosperity leadership. Thus, now they already are in conflict with him and with all his Oromo constituencies. Their current attack of him, Ad. Adanech Abebe and the whole Oromo nation during the Adwa commemoration is the worst miscalculation they did. The consequence will be bad for them. At the end of they day, they shall lose and the Oromo will get our legitimate leadership of the whole country, of course by achieving also an equality of all nations and nationalities in the rainbow Ethiopia. The future rainbow Ethiopia will be democratic, possibly adopting a modernised Gadaa system, in which all cultures and languages of the country can have their proportional share (Afaan Oromo 40%, Agawigna 20%, Amharigna 10%, Af Somaal 6%, Tigrigna 5%, Sidamu Afo 4%, Guragigna 3%, Qafar Af 2%, Wolayitigna 1%…etc).

OPFist,

• Oromo’s national interest isn’t dictated by leper’s usual insult on streets of Oromia. Neither it isn't stopped by any hybrids speaking Afaan Oromo, putting effort to hijack Oromo’s struggle for freedom from slavery.

• Your fallacy is often related that you base your arguments on individual’s will or rejection. Oromo nation’s political interest is goal bound and is largely dependent on strength of our gallant forces aka WBO and the entire Oromo nation.

End of July 2009 was the week of Oromo meetings and events in Atlanta, Georgia: sports, political, cultural, religious, social meetings and even dating of Oromo gals and guys do happen during this time. Let me concentrate on the political meetings and give my short opinion on how fruitful the festival was. No question that the Oromo goal – self-determination – is almost accepted by all Oromo political organizations in the walk of life. Some non-Oromo politicians try to create the “third way” like that of renegade “opposition leader”, Mr. Lidetu Ayalew. These non-Oromos are neither for an independent Gadaa Oromia nor for a federal Union Oromia, but they do advocate for all Oromo people to be Great Oromians (Ethiopians) and live as such without demanding any sort of autonomy for Oromo region. Even some Oromo politicians seem to tell us that we are on a crossroad to choose between two goals: an independent Gadaa Oromia (600,000sqKm) or an integrative Great Oromia (1,130,000 sqKm Ethiopia).

I just saw a picture on Gadaa website with a question originally raised by Burqaa (Oromo magazine): Eessa deemaa jirraa (where are we going)? The question suggests as if we are standing at a crossroad on the place showing us the two directions to two different goals between which we have to choose: either to move on the way to a goal of establishing a Democratic Republic of Gadaa Oromia (Oromo state) or to move on the way to accept Great Oromia (Ethiopia) as our country and democratize it. I personally do differ from such suggestion of Gadaa.com and from the opinion, which is probably that of Burqaa magazine.

I do believe that the Oromo as a nation has never been on a crossroad to decide on two different goals, but we used to be at the crossroad to decide on the way to move to the only one objective we do have, i.e to self-determination. For our nation, the goal is clear: a sovereign and free Oromia! This sovereign state of Oromo can choose to live within a union with other neighboring nations or to go without the union per referendum. But there are certain rhetoric like autonomous Oromia in a united Ethiopia entertained by some genuine Oromo in OFC and even by some part of the OLF leadership, which is a mere tactical move, but it has never been an attempt to give up the only one goal the Oromo as a nation have. The Oromo in OPP do their rhetoric just not to be in conflict with the Habeshas they are working together and with whom they do not want a confrontation; the Oromo in OFC do the same not to lose the “legal” status as an opposition; and, of course, some OLF leadership do it to appease and do business with the international community, which is interested more in a united country than in a disintegrated country – just for the sake of their (e.g USA’s) own interest.

But sure is that our spiritual organization

[OPFist]

But sure is that our spiritual organization (dhaaba Oromoo) – the OLF, which is the mindset we all freedom-loving Oromo do have, is moving in the above mentioned three levels to realize our emancipation. To put it clearly in short, I think this liberation spirit moves now:

– at level of the governing party, OPP: to keep the status quo of a limited cultural autonomy we have already achieved, i.e. to hinder the backward move of our liberation journey to the status we were in till 1991, the time when there was no Oromia as a state, the time when we had no right to use Afaan Oromo in Oromia, the time we eben lacked limited cultural right, which we do have now.

– at level of OFC (Oromo Federalist Congress), the opposition movement which tries to achieve genuine autonomy for Oromia in a federal union Ethiopia, of course Oromia as national state being liberated from any looting and lording. This status of genuinely autonomous Oromia in a genuinely federated region of union Ethiopia is, for the Oromo, a half way move to our goal of an independent Gadaa Oromia, if we want. As far as I am concerned, union is more beneficial for the Oromo!

– at level of OLF proper, which is determined to lead us to our national self-determination, be it per ballot or per bullet. I do include all rebel Oromo organizations to be part and parcel of this level of Oromo liberation movement.

[OPFist]

This well coordinated move of the OLF-spirit is in deed very scary to our current enemy. It is fact that genuine Oromo in OPP and OFC people are led by OLF-mindset. Genuine OPP-Oromo talk explicitly that the Oromo are already liberated, but implicitly they work for true liberation. OFC-Oromos talk about unity of the country overtly, but they do work for freedom of Oromia covertly. How can Habesha elites deal with this? Imprison and kill all the Oromo in a walk of life? Really very puzzling for our arch enemies!

[OPFist]

For the Oromo as a nation, the objective is clear, and it is almost the same to the Waaqa (God) we do believe in. The only area where factions of Oromo political groups do differ is on the way to the objective – self determination after liberating Caffee Araara. For some, it should be the move from Djibouti (colony) with some stops in Diredhawa and Adaama to Finfinne (freedom), i.e. an evolutionary move. For others, who just want to fly from Djibouti directly and quickly to Finfinne, in short, it is a revolutionary move. But the reality in life is showing the second group, that slow move by train with stops in Diredhawa (status quo) and Adaama (genuine ethnic federation) is mandatory and will be the most probable route we, all the Oromo, take together in our liberation journey, i.e. the evolution way rather than the revolution way. In short, we, the Oromo, do have only one objective and we do believe in only one Waaqa.

[OPFist]

The difference we do have is only on the route to the goal and on the speed of our move in the way we choose as well as on the three types of post-freedom sovereignty: independent Gadaa Oromia, federal Union Oromia (language based federation of Ethiopia) and intergative Great Oromia (geography based federation of Ethiopia). So the question to be raised by Gadaa.com as well by Burqaa magazine should have been the question of the way to our goal: karaa eessaan gara kaayyootti demaa jirraa (on which route are we moving to the goal) or the question of the speed: Eessan dafnee kaayyoo keenyatti fiiguu dandeenya (which way can we move faster to the goal) or about the type of sovereignty we can choose after freedom (Ethiopia and/or Oromia)? These questions are also which would have to be asked by the Oromo during their meetings in Atlanta, Georgia. In short, the Oromo are moving from the status quo to our common goal (Caffee Araara = bilisummaa/freedom) on three routes (rebel path of the OLA, opposition route of the OFC and regime way of the OPP); so we are not now standing on cross road. After liberating Caffee Araara, our people can choose one of the three possible Oromian sovereignty: an independent Gadaa Oromia of Ob. Galaasa Dilbo, a federal Union Oromia of Dr. Leenco Lataa or an integrativ Great Oromia of Dr. Haile Fida. I personally suggest that the Oromo take our legitimate leadership in the future Gadaa democratic Rainbow Ethiopia.

Galatooma!
