Are the Three Main Oromo Questions Answered by the Three Post-Monarchy Oromo Dictators?
By Fayyis Oromia*
Did the Derg of Mengistu Ayàna answer the land question? Did Woyane of Meles Gobena address the question of self-rule? Is Biltsiginà of Abiy Ahmed now answering the language question?
I once listened to an interview with Dr. Lencô Latà, in which he said that the Oromo question still unanswered is the democratization of the ethnic federation. However, I believe this is not a uniquely Oromo issue. It concerns all nations within Oropia (Oromic-led Ethiopia). Issues such as class struggle and self-administration of nations are not exclusive to the Oromo.
In my view, the only specific and unique question of the Oromo should be the promotion of Oromic to the status of the primary working language of the federation. This issue remains unresolved. It appears that Dr. Abiy and his Prosperity Party are slowly coming back to their senses. The ETV Oromic channel has already begun 24-hour broadcasting. This is a step in the right direction as far as the Oromo struggle is concerned.
