Thanks to the OLF, the Abyssinian Empire Is Pregnant with Oromia, Orompia or Oropia!

By Fayyis Oromia*

The 150-year-old Abyssinian Empire became pregnant by the very potent Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) about 50 years ago. Now, this “mother empire” is carrying a child—or perhaps twins—in her womb. What remains unclear is whether the fetus is Oromia, Oropia (an Oromummà-led geofederation), or a twin of the two (Orompia = Oromia + Oropia)

At present, the Oromo people are divided into three groups based on our vision of the baby to be born in the near future. Some nationalists wish to see an independent Oromia; others favor the birth of twins—an Oromia within a federated Ethiopia; and a few are striving to transform the current Amharanet-dominated Ethiopia (Amapia) into an integrated Oropia. Hence, the three visions within the Oromo community are:

An independent Oromia,
A federal Orompia (Oromummà-led ethnic federation), and
An integrated Oropia.
Which baby do you prefer to see: Oromia, Orompia, or Oropia? One thing is certain: the Abyssinian Empire is in the delivery room, preparing to give birth to one of these three possibilities.
