Keeping Ethiopia of Amharanet by Leenco Lata of 1990 and Abiy Ahmed of 2020?  

At the time, when almost all Oromo nationalists were fighting for an independent Gadaa Oromia, Leenco Lata came out with an idea of democratizing Ethiopia as federal union and integrating the Horn as common home. Then he was labelled as Gantuu (betrayer) of Oromo struggle and had to endure all curses and insults under the sun. Now, all who opposed him are in Ethiopia doing the same politics he envisioned. The same way, Dr Abiy is moving further and came up with notion of Medemer (synergy) puting even the federal union in question and promoting an integrated Ethiopia (Great Oromia) under Oromo leadership. Again, a lot of Oromo nationalists are against this development, not to dismantle ethnic federalism. May be the timing is wrong, but Dr. Abiy’s move is visionary. An integrated Great Oromia (democratic Ethiopia) is Oromo politics of high confidence, federal union is that of intermediate confidence and of course an independent Gadaa Oromia shows our low confidence. We may come to his idea in the future lagging behind in time. This was my hitherto positive thinking regarding these two leaders. But, now to my disappointment, they seem not to foster Ethiopia, in which Oromummaa will lead according to our demography, but they seem to be comfortable in maintaining and further promoting the existing dominance of Amharanet through further expansion of Amharinga.

Above all, the hitherto Habesh regime intentionally targeted Oromo nation and it did the worst state terror in the name of Ethiopia on this noble people, so that the name Ethiopia was very negatively associated in hearts and minds of Oromo people, thus we can now start to use the name Oromia and Ethiopia interchangeably. But, I would like to suggest for the Oromo polity to use the name Ethiopia, because the fact that the past assimilative Ethiopia of Amhara elites and apartheid Ethiopia of Tegaru elites are already dead never to comeback and surely we will get rid of the Neo-naftagnas in EPP so that the potential accomodative Ethiopia of Oromo elites will be the future. The Oromo can change the content of Ethiopia from Habeshawinet (Amharanet) to Kushawinet (Oromiawinet) and use the name for our advantage. After all, the popularity of the name Ethiopia was caused by the world class Oromo heroes like Abdisa Aagaa and world class Oromo athlets like Abebe Biqilaa. Ethiopia in the future will have Oromo (Cush) colour, but never Abesha (Solomonic) colour. That is why we can fight for an integrated such Ethiopia. Ethiopia as Great Oromia of Jawar Mohammed shall flourish on the grave of Ethiopia as Great Amharia of Abiy Ahimed. May Waaqa help the Oromo and Oromia!
