Oromo’s Self-determination Including and Upto an Integrative Oropia!

Now, it seems to be a reality on the ground that almost all Oromo nationalists made a paradigm shift from an independent Oromia to an integrative Oropia (Oromumma led Ethiopia) as Oromo’s main objective. That is why the Americans are nowadays comfortable with the genuine Oromo nationalists. No question that Oromo prosperitians currently in power shall be replaced by Oromo republicans of OLA, OFC and OLF in the near future. Then, the process of transforming Ethiopia from its hitherto status of Amapia (Amaranet dominated country) to Oropia will be accelerated. The best instrument for this phenomen to happen is a legitimate promotion of Afàn Oromô to the primary working language of all federal institutions like the palace, parlament, cabinet, court, military and security.

When we think and talk about self-determiantion of the Oromo, we usually demand only one sided sovereignty, i.e up to independence. With that we forget or neglect Oromo’s right to opt for an integration, rather than move to independence. I repeatedly put forward that Oronmo’s question should not be that of minority at periphery (up to independence) or that of minority at center (only autonomy – multinational federation). Oromo people are the majory all over the country, thus need to promote Oromo centered integration of all nationalities living among and around us; being open for the minority nations to have their self-determination, be it in the form of autonomy or independence.

We do have in general seven types of Oromo politicians: the Gadaas, Birmajis, Duulos, Horatas, Michiles, Robales and the Traitors (Gantuus). No question that different types of Oromo nationalists (pan-nationalists like Baaro Tumsaa, Ethiopianists like Haile Fida, Referendist-1 like Marara Guddina, Federalists like Leenco Lataa, Referendist-2 like Daud Ibsa and Oromianists like Galaasa Dilbo) fight for freedom/bilisummaa of the Oromo. There is no difference on the cause of freedom between them.

Giving five of these positions the respected names of five Gadaa parties, it looks like the following:

– Pro-Ethiopia Robales strive to achieve transformation of the Amaraa dominated Ethiopia to Oromumma led Ethiopia; i.e Oropia without Oromia. ( http://finfinnetribune.com/Gadaa/2014/1 … he-center/ ).

– Pro-Referendum-1 Michiles prefer to persue referendum on federal Union vs integrative Oropia; i.e Oropia with or without Oromia.

– Pro-Federalist Horatas opted for self-rule of Oromia within shared rule of Oropia ( http://www.meleszenawi.com/wp-content/u … Map-01.jpg ); i.e Oromia within Oropia.

– Pro-Referendum-2 Duulos are ready for referendum on independent Oromia vs federal Union; i.e Oromia within or without Oropia.

– Pro-Oromia Birmajis want to see an independent Gadaa republic of Oromia ( http://nikolasschiller.com/images/oromiya.jpg) within the UN; i.e Oromia without Oropia.

Currently, the sixth type of nationalist (pan-nationalists), who entertain the above five moves and try to coordinate the five Oromo positions on a common denominator (freedom from the existing system of domination) are emerging. Actually, Baaro Tumsa used to promote this form of nationalism, that is why he concentrated on “the Oromo getting power in Finfinne palace (which is equivalent to freedom) by any means possible. Such nationalists represent the wholistic Oromo agenda of freedom from the sytem of domination and the post-freedom types of sovereignty being divided into the above five party positions. According to pan-nationalists, now, the five blocs in our community can work in unison for Oromo freedom and then leave the decision on the three types of post-freedom sovereignty (integrative Oropia, federal Union & independent Oromia) for general Oromo’s public verdict.
