Re: Ob. Shimelis Abdissa is Right: our Oromumma (Nation) is Bigger Than our Region and Religion
Nevertheless, again the natural affiliations we do have towards our respective regions, clans, parties and religions must be accepted as normal and tolerated by all of us so long it is not against our Oromummaa. In short, our nation is the bigger group or the set (Oromummaa must be given the priority) and our region, clan, party and religion are the smaller groups or the subsets to be respected as a secondary priority. So, the problem we do have seems to be that of priority setting regarding the importance of different groups we do belong to, i.e. in answering the question: which of the groups is the most important? Nation? Region? Party? Clan? Religion? As far as I am concerned, having freedom as our common goal and, in order to promote our move to freedom, our nation as a big group is the most important one, which deserves to be the set (bigger group) and the others are smaller groups (subsets) to be given only secondary position.
