Ethiofederalist OLF of Abiy vs Ethnofederalist OLF of Jawar in Election 2020?

Nice to hear that Jawar will run for election 2020 leading an inclusive Ethnofederalist OLF (merger of OFC, OLF & ONP). The transformation of EPRDF to Ethiofederalist EPP led by the OLFites in ODP is also a good move. We like it or not, Oromo’s mind set of freedom (the OLF) will be the leading in both federalist camps. Of course, the OLF is evolving from its politics of low confidence (past goal of independent Oromia) to politics of intermediate confidencce (present aim of federal Union) and politics of high confidence (future vision of integrated Ethiopia). Nither of the two goals, i.e Ethiofederalism (geography based) including Integration prefered by Abiy and Ethnofederalism (language based) including Independence opted by Jawar is disadvantageous for the Oromo.

I read Jawar’s comment on Dr. Abiy’ project of changing the EPRDF to EPP (Ethiopian Prosperity Party). He is warning Dr. Abiy not to gamble and take risk at this particular time. He says that only Amharas will benefit from the transformation of EPRDF. I agree with the timing, but not with the principle. As principle, the Oromo will have no disadvantage for there will be no domination of Amhara and Amharanet in the future Oromian led Ethiopia as it was in the past Abysdinian dominated Ethiopia. Jawar in particular and all Oromo elites in general need to register this and move on from our hitherto victim struggle to our here to forth victor sovereignty. I agree with the timing, because Amharanet is still dominating Oromumma in the palace, Finfinne and Ethiopia. As long as this domination is there, Ethnofederalim is more beneficial than Ethiofederalism for the Oromo. Dr. Abiy needs to work on dealing with this domination before dismanting the Ethnofederalist ODP and fostering an Ethiofederalist EPP.

Your kegna attitude and shortsighted thinking has missed one very important thing: jawar is involved in the killings of innocents, and he has to face justice one way or another. There are ample records that he is poshing for jehadism in Ethiopia.
