Re: Is There a Common Denominator that Might Reconcile Oromo Nationalists in Abiy’s Bloc with Jawar’s Camp?
Currently, the Oromo people face two significant adversaries: the dictatorial regime of Biltsiginnà, which holds power, and nostalgic oppressive Northerners attempting to reclaim the Finfinné palace. As a result, Oromo nationalists appear divided over which threat to prioritize in their struggle. During this period of political contest between Biltsiginnà and the Northerners, some Oromo elites advocate supporting Biltsiginnà to prevent a Northern resurgence. Meanwhile, others choose to oppose Biltsiginnà, even if that aligns them—by default—with Northern interests.
