Ethnic Federalism is Important More for the 10% Amara than the 40% Oromo!

Amara elites are against ethnic federalism as long as Amarigna is the primary or the only working language of the federation, because of the fact that Amarization of other nations is still going on. Other nations are yet considered as raw material being processed into the finished good called Amaranet. It is in such process that nations like Agaw and Oromo were/are converted to Amhara. Thus, the Agaw of Gojjam and Gondar as well as the Oromo of Wallo, Gojjam, Gondar and Shoa lost their true identity in order to become Amara. Now, by reviving the priori identity of these converted Agaw and Oromo, the number of those who consider themselves as Amara are not more than 10%. The Agaw are increased to about 20%, the Oromo being at least 40%. When Oromiffa legitimately will be the primary working language of the federation, the Amhara need ethnic federation most to protect themselves from the further re-Agawization and re-Oromization movement. As far as the Oromo are considered, Afaan Oromo being the primary working language of the federation, there will be no disadevantage from both possible con-federation (ethnic federalism) and geo-federation of Ethiopia, i.e defacto Oropia (Oromumma led Ethiopia).

Please see this. Oromo are not majority in Ethiopia.

https://international.ipums.org/interna ... t1984a.pdf

According to the first ever population census of Ethiopia in 1984, during Mengistu Hailemariam ( who himself is an Oromo )
( Refer page 44 and 46)

Amhara ------> 12 million
Oromo -------> 12 million

Note: The Census did not cover some parts of Amhara because of war and hostility in those areas. So, this means Amhara population is the largest if these areas were covered in the census.

You must be smoking drug and hallucinating.
