Abiy Ahmed's Ethiopia Dominated by Amharigna vs Lamma Magarsa’s Ethiopia Led by Oromiffa!

I don’t oppose Dr Abiy for trying to dismantle ethno-federation in general and dividing Gadaa Oromia in particular, rather because of his keeping of Amharigna’s domination in federal institutions. As far as Amharigna is dominating, Ethiopia is defacto Great Amharia. Promoting Afaan Oromo to the primary working language of the federation will naturally, automatically and surely transform Ethiopia to Great Otomia, which is of course bigger than Gadaa Otomia of the OLF. I think, the main conflict between Dr Abiy Ahmed and Ob. Lamma Magarsa is based on this issue of choosing a language as primary working tool of the federation.. Dr. Abiy told us that there is no compromise on federalism. Does he mean federalism in general or Ethnofederalism in particular? As far as I am concerned, it seems that Oromo elites want to take over the leadership of Ethiofederalist bloc (believing in geo-federalism) and Ethnofederalist camp (promoting ethnic federation) in Ethiopia (Great Oromia). Both Oromo leaders (Abiy Ahmed with Ethiofederalist mentality of Zeginet politics and Lamma Magarsa with mind set of Ethnofederalists, i.e Zewuginet politics) are posing for this role. Which of the two will prevail? Time will show us in the future. Clearly Oromo republicans led by Lamma have more influence in Oromia and can take over power at both levels of Oromia and Ethiopia. As far as our AAA (Aadaa/culture, Afaan/language and Aangoo/power) in Finfinne palace are not compromised, both movements are not disadvantageous for Oromo people. Sure is that Amharanet is still dominating Oromumma in the palace, in Finfinne and in the whole country. So far this status quo of domination continues, Ob. Lamma’s version is preferable. After getting rid of Amharanet hegemony, I think Abiy’s vision is optimal for the Oromo.

It was Abiy Vs Ayatola Jawar now Abiy Vs Lemma . What changed? You are a nutcase.

Other wise, it is also interesting to observe Oromo politics nowadays. I used to advocate for Oromo unity and that is exactly happening; I tried to promote Amhara-Oromo alliance and this is emerging, despite TPLF’s divide and destroy machination and Amhara extremists’ mistake. Qeerro Oromo went to Bahr-Dar to cleanse our biggest lake carrying the slogan “Xanaan keenya” and Ob. Lammaa Magarsa visited Amhara region to start an Amhara-Oromo dialogue with an intention: “Ethiopiyan keenya”. I am glad by seeing my political position being implemented by the ongoing Oromo movement. Both tokkummaa/unity of the Oromo and tumsa/alliance with the Amhara were best anti-dotes against TPLF’s tyranny. The question is only: what hindered us till now from excercising this solutions? Why couldn’t we try to come together for the sake of overcoming the challenges? One of the reasons is that the Oromo till now hesitated to accept Ethiopia as “biyya keenya = our Country”, whereas the Amhara rejected their ethnic identity in order to save Ethiopia. Now, the Amhara starting to struggle for their ethnic right and the Oromo begining to entertain the rhetoric, “Ethiopiyan keenya” are good common grounds to approach each other and fight against the fascist TPLF in unison.
