Escaleting the Conflict Between Ethio-federalist Oromo and Ethno-federalist Oromo to Empower Abyssinian Elites!
It seems that Oromo elites are again in a trap of Abyssinian elites to be divided and give way for the later to come back to state power in Finfinne palace. Amhara elites are proponents of Ethiofederalism (based on geography) due to the still dominating Amharanet including the ongoing Amharazation and Tegaru elites are supporters of Ethnofederation (based on language) because of their demographical minority position. Oromo elites seem to entertain both lines. Gadaa Oromianists want to keep Gadaa Oromian integrity at the cost of Great Oromia (Ethiopia), whereas Great Oromianists want to secure Ethiopian unity at the cost of Gadaa Oromia. Thus, Gadaa Oromianists are supported by Tegaru elites and Great Oromianists are glorified by Amhara elites. Both Abesha groups hope that the conflict between Gadaa Oromianists (Ethnofederalist Oromo) and Great Oromianists (Ethiofederalist Oromo) will escalate to the extent that they destroy each other and pave way to power for Abyssinians. Are Oromo elites fulfilling this wish of Abyssinians? Is the conflict between Ethiofederalist Abiy Ahmed and Ethnofederalist Lamma Magarsa leading to this bad eventuality?

You cannot hold two opposing groups by being anti-abyssinians. Lemma Mergassa should be supported or any one with oromo ethnonationalism against Abiy Ahmed, who is basically the opposite. At this time there is no need for merger to form one organisation. We need first to define where the Oromo teritory and which languages are to be working languages. We do not want back to the old days of Mengistu and Haile Selassie, where the Amhara were domianting Ethiopia's cultural life. Maybe forming mini countries is better if people are threatened by one tribe dominating their culture and economy. The Amhara are arrogant and need to be one of the tribes and NOT the dominating tribe. The Oromo will be the loosers if geographical federalism replaces ethnic federalism.
