OFC, OLA, OLF, and OPP to Agree on Fostering Oropia?!
By Fayyis Oromia*
All of us are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the ongoing third round negotiations between OFC, OLA, OLF, and OPP. I believe it is long overdue, as nowadays, almost all genuine Oromo nationalists agree on fostering Oropia (an Oromummà-led Ethiopia), whether with or without Oromia as a distinct state. It is already clear that, moving forward, Ethiopia will legitimately be under the leadership of Oromummà.
The ongoing complaints from some Amhara elites cannot reverse this shift. It appears that Dr. Abiy is coming back to his senses and returning to his Oromo constituency. His attempt to appease the Neo-Naftagna forces has already backfired. The [ deleted ] Amhara elites tried to use him, just as they did with Mengistu Hailemariam. To some extent, they succeeded — using him to crack down on both Oromo and Tigrayan nationalists. Ultimately, they also turned against Dr. Abiy himself and his Oromo-led Prosperity Party. Now, they are openly in conflict with him and all his Oromo supporters. Their current attack on him and the entire Oromo nation is their biggest miscalculation yet. The consequences will not favor them.
In the end, they will lose, and the Oromo will rightfully attain leadership of the entire country — while also ensuring equality among all nations and nationalities in the envisioned Rainbow Oropia. The future Oropia will be democratic, potentially adopting a modernized Gadà system, in which all cultures and languages are proportionally represented (Afàn Oromoo 40%, Agawigna 20%, Amharigna 10%, Af-Somaali 6%, Tigrigna 5%, Sidàmu Afô 4%, Guragigna 3%, Qafàra Afa 2%, Wolaytigna 1%, etc.).
