Menelik was a traitor. He was a power hungry tribal chief who understood how to use the Europeans against African tribes such as the Oromos, Wolaita etc. We are not supporting Oromo expansion to Ethiopia from southern Africa. The Oromo tribal chiefs have committed crimes too. However justifying Menelik's against Oromos and condemning Oromos is one sided.
Oromos are Ethiopians and have contributed to Ethiopia's statehood. No one will be forced to leave Ethiopia. We have to practise equality of all groups and unite them as Ethiopians not using force, through persuasion. Give them the rights they need and offer them homes and food. Develop the economy and the rest is history. A rich and well fed society does not stand against their own country. As long as Oromos feel second citizens, there will be armed groups and intellectuals that would challenge the system in place.
We need to kill Menelik for Ethiopia to be strong. We need to dismantle Menelik's statue for Ethiopians to live in peace. We need to replace the traditional policy of Menelik in order to control the region we live in. We need to have internal peace to wage wars against our external enemies: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, ? Israel etc
Equality and only equality of all ethnic groups in Ethiopia is the only way to peace and development.
