The Difference Between Federal Ethiopia of Abiy’s OPP and That of Jawar’s OFC!

It is fact on the ground that every political minded individual and organization in Ethiopia prefers federation as an appropriate admnistrative structure for the country. The question is only about choosing what type of federation. Especially, both OPP of Abiy and OFC of Jawar claim to prefer language based federation (“ethnic federation”). Where is their different? As I see, OPP just replaced TPLF, but continued promoting ‘Amharinga dominated dictatorial federation, whereas OFC is striving to foster ‘Oromiffaa led democratic federation'. No question that domination of Amharinga can be continued only dictatorially, because if the status of languages will be determined democraticaĺly, Oromiffaa has the chance to be primary language of the federation. This dictatorial keeping of Amharigna’s dominance is what Abiy’s OPP is doing now, thus lost support of Oromo majority. Surely, Jawar’s OFC being joined by the OLF and other genuine Oromo nationalists, shall prevail in the future.

In short, both pro-union and pro-independence Oromo nationalists can consider union Oromia (federal Ethiopia) as common synthetic objective to be told boldly and clearly both internally to our people as well as internationally to others, so that we can unanimously struggle per nonviolent struggle and/or armed struggle to liberate our nation from 150 years of subjugation. This approach of the Oromo as a majority in the whole country can have a lesser obstacle from the internal national friction and milder rejection from the international stakeholders of the Horn region. Is this synthesis helpful to promote an indispensable unity of purpose among Oromo nationalists and an important alliance with other anti-TPLF forces, so that we can have effective and efficient force against our main foe – the Abyssinian dictators? I hope this attempt of seeking a common focus for all Oromo liberation forces could be developed further by the second consensus convention Houston with better ideas. The writer of this opinion is ready to hear and read a possible – be it negative or positive – feedback. But, almost sure is the fact that an inclusive Union Oromia of Jawar is a very nice prelude for an independent Gadaa Oromia or an integrative Great Oromia. There is no more turning back to Empire Abyssinia (Abyssinian dominated Ethiopia). Abiy’s attempt to keep Ethiopia dominated by Amharanet at the cost of Oromummaa shall also fail. May Waaqa help us all in the region to foster a common home as suggested here – Union Oromia as a prelude to Gadaa Oromia or Great Oromia!
