The Core Political Conflict in Ethiopia: Masked Amharanet vs Manifest Oromummaa!

Some canning Habesha elites try to tell us that ethnic politics is a new trend promoted by the OLF and TPLF. But, fact is that politics in Ethiopia has always been ethnic based. The only difference is that Amharanet used to dominate und rule being masked by Ethiopiawinet. Still there are some Amhara elites and Amharanized others trying to play the same game. On the other hand, Oromummaa is growing without using the mask and trade mark called Ethiopiawinet. No Oromo elite tries to instrumentalize this mask. I thought Dr. Abiy is smart enough to promote Oromummaa in a trade package of Ethiopiawinet. Unforunately, he is still revering Amharanet, instead of respecting Oromummaa. Thus, he kept the existing dominance of Amharigna/Amharanet at the cost of Oromiffaa/Oromummaa. He is considering Oromiffaa to play only secondary role, instead of promoting it to primary position as language of the majotity in the country. He is simply pro-Amharanet elite just like the previously ruling Oromo elites.

Thus, future democratic Ethiopia is de facto great Oromia, in which Gadaa Oromia can have self-rule . We can choose one of the possible three sovereignty: ‘self rule of Oromia without shared rule of Ethiopia’ or ‘self rule of Oromia within shared rule of Ethiopia’ or ‘shared rule of Ethiopia without self rule of Oromia. I think, for the Oromo as a majority over all the multi-national country, the first goal setting was good to liberate us, the second option is nice at the present transitional phase and the third vision will be beneficial than the other two in the future. Fayyis Oromia is focusing on this third and optimal cause. Now, Gadaa Oromianists vehmently opposing the nice approach of Great Oromianists is good only for the power mongering Abyssinian elites. Amharianists like those in Ezema and Biltsigina will surely lose and the future favores Oromianists like OFC and OLF. May Waaqa help us choose the best position envisioned by Haile Fida and now entertained by Fayyis Oromia!
