Its name is raised as the only other African country that was never colonized by Europeans during the scramble for Africa, in addition to Ethiopia.
How true is that? If it was established by the "colonization society", is it really free from colonization?
"Liberia is unique in African history because it was not colonized by a European power during the Scramble for Africa, but it was established as a settlement by the American Colonization Society (ACS)—a private organization—in 1822 to relocate free Black Americans. It declared independence as a sovereign republic on July 26, 1847, avoiding direct European colonial rule while maintaining close ties with the United States".

That is true, DTT. Liberia had never been colonized because the country was created by USA. It was for the purpose of relocating freed slaves that the US used it. It was created as a country around 1862 I think.

DTT,
The narrative of the OLF for the past 60 years has that been that Oromia was colonized! What is your position these days? That narrative was false?

Yes, that was a false narrative, copied from the Shabian school of thought, which has now taken a nose dive to the bottom of a sharp downhill of history.
If you doubt, then turn to Shabia and ask them about what they have gained after their acclaimed 40 years of "sovereignty" and before that 30 years of struggle?
Not only absolute zero achievements but turned back on the course of history and rolled back all the gains humanity has achieved in more than 100 years in the territory it ruled over and called Eritrea!

DDT, you maybe one of those Weyane/Shabo who grew up in Oromiya or you were part of Olf who hated Amara until Olf took power in Addis today calling itself pp, now you are trying to talk about colonization of Africa after you claimed like Jawar Ethiopia colonized Oromiya. The Oxymoron, how come Ethiopia fighting off colonization, can colonize itself? Even not just Eritrea, if Djibouti becomes part of Ethiopia, it was Ethiopia's land it came back to its motherland.,the reason unprecedented occupation of Djibouti by foreigners is so Ethiopia does not claim it. As of China, is another greedy nation whose interest is for itself.

DTT,
That is revealing. But Oromia was not only colonized but enslaved as well. That you have changed your position now just because OPDO is now in power temporarily tells me you are nothing but a corrupt opportunist. I wonder what you will sing when Abiy and his coterie are kicked out!
