The Oromuma philosophy is no one is forcing anyone to stay in the federal system. This is the antithesis of what Amharuma and Tegaruma function. According to Amharuma and Tegaruma, if Ethiopia is not united, all hell will break loose. That is their idiom of saying without unity and their domination over Galla-land and South, it doesn’t make sense to be onlookers when Gallas are in power.
Over the past 100 years, Amharuma and Tegaruma have been preaching Ethiopia will cease to exist unless they served as guardians of its unity. That was why Hailesilassie, Derg, TPLF all failed - they desired to keep the country united but also keep the domination. Now Oromuma is saying anybody who feels like it can go away. So Oromuma has no pressure to keep anyone united. That is why TPLF is finding it hard to make any difference and no one cared if it separated or stayed in - unable to make any dent in the political narration - TPLF’s hope was when TPLF does secession fukera, Oromuma would be act the same way Amharuma and Tegaruma acted for 100 years. TPLF though Oromuma would cry over unity and waste its precious energy and gets weaker and fall apart.
Meshrefet knows this well so he acts opposite to Amharuma and Tegaruma and TPLF by doing the megenttel fukera (1) would be stuck in a strategy that doesn’t work on Oromuma as Oromuma doesn’t sweat to keep anyone in and (2) would have no influence except isolating and experimenting on poor Tegaru it’s scorch earth devastation.
All the hocus-pocus about sectarian fight, religions conflicts, the self-inflicted injury of Tegaru by their own doing, the freedom people are experimenting with is a a storm in a teacup for Oromuma. It will
Make the system stronger and society to think twice before damaging its own.
This time has helped Oromuma build its resilience and have it ample time to take root as its challengers have taken vacation in Mekelle dying a slow death of sorts. Because no one is forcing no one to be in unity as Amharuma and Tegaruma we’re doing before, TPLF’s gymnastics now have it be seen and forgotten as an old girlfriend. And when you add Tegaru northerner ego on top of it and the decades it would take them to accept that they’re defeated, you’d say how lucky Oromuma is to have a free ride.
