The Oromo have the right to form their own Orthodox church

The Amhara dominate the Orthodox church and have been spreading their anti-Oromo, anti-Sidama and anti-Tigray hate. It is an insult to Tigrayans to force them listen a sermon in Amharic. It just does not attract the people and the message is not received. We have to have our own churches wehre celeberations are carried in Geez or Tigrigna.
For the Oromo it should be the same. The Oromo can have their own version of the Orthodox church, where they conduct sermons in Oromo language. It is an insult to Oromo youth to force them listen sermons in Amharic as they have their own beautiful language.
When I recently visted Ethiopia, i was surprised to hear spritual songs in Amharic only. There were some Tigrina songs. Bit there no Oromo songs at all.
The Oromo Orthoox Church can solve these problems and should be supported by all. We hope to hear sermons in Oromo language soon.
