Back to the Pre-1991 Oromo-Tegaru-Alliance (OTA) Against Domination of Amharanet!

TPLFites messed up all the sacrifices and victories, which the oppressed Tegaru people got through their bitter struggle against Amhara Naftagnas and their cultural domination of Amharanet. Meles Zenawi in particular and all TPLF leaders in general were very greedy, so they quarelled with their best strategical alliance, the OLF in particular and the Oromo in general. The canning Amhara elites took side of the TPLF in 1992 just to try to destroy the OLF. These same elites changed side in 2020 and allied with the anti-Oromummaa elites of Oromo Prosperitans led by Dr. Abiy in order to persecute the TPLFites and with that of course Tegaru nationalism. By supporting Dr. Abiy, the very mischievious Amhara elites are trying to destroy both Oromummaa and Tegarunet, just to maintain the ongoing domination of Amharanet. It is good that the fool TPLF leaders are done, but it is time to learn from past mistakes and to revive the natural strategic alliance of the two national movements of the Oromo and Tegaru. The Oromo in general and Oromo republicans in particular should show solidarity to Tegaru people (of course not to the already dead TPLF). We need to rebuild again an alliance of national liberation struggles of the Oromo and Tegaru against the still ongoing domination of Amharanet, now maintained by Dr.Abiy and his Prosperitan Oromo followers.

Thanks to the betrayal maneuver of Dr. Abiy, Oromo nationalists are again at the recieving end of the dictatorial rule in Finfinne palace being dominated by the Neo-naftagnas. Pro-Amharanet Oromo elites are doing their dirty job of suppressing Oromummaa as always. These Oromo elites being led by Dr. Abiy are revering Amharanet and Amharinya instead of respecting their own Oromummaa and Oromiffaa. Such mentality is typical of colonized nations. Certain part of oppressed nations always suffer from slave mentality so that they worship culture and language of their oppressors. Oromo elites in EPP seem to be under influence of this syndrom. That is why they gave away the victory of Oromo people which we got by sacrifice of Qarrees and Qeerros to the Neo-nagtsgnas. Accordingly, they now enjoy full support of all Naftagnas, especially that of conservative Amhara elites because of their coward action (crackdown) against the genuine Oromo nationalists.

We like it or not, there is a big ‘elephant in the room,’ which we all tend to evade, but the EPP effectively exploits; i.e. the 30 years long conflict: ‘Oromo elites Vs. Tegaru elites’. This conflict was the main area of fear not to cooperate in a possible revolution against the EPP regime. The Oromos do dream and wish that Tegaru people share their vision, also Tegaru elite want that Oromo elites struggle for freedom of their people from Amharanet domination as well as for independence of Oromia region, to live in the future as a good neighbor of independent Oromia. Both blocs used to express their respective wish, and they do consider as if their respective own wish is the only reality on ground, but EPP knows very well that these two communities are not yet in a position to trust each other. Its cadres exploited this situation to hinder Tsunami of revolution from coming against their bosses in Finfinne palace. But now, the freedom struggle is ging on, yet Tegaru and Oromo elites didn’t come to terms in order to make Ethiopia (Great Oromia) democratic, peaceful and prosperious

I personally do see that now is the right and suitable time for action against the EPP dictators in Ethiopiaia. Almost all citizens and nations in Ethiopia are calling for revolution as the best instrument to get rid of the Neo-Naftagna (NN) regime. Of course, that is why EPP does everything under the sky to prevent us from revolting. We know that, as long as the EPP is in power, we all suffer, not only as refugees in Diaspora, but also as slaves at home in Ethiopia. Unfortunately, it seems that the ‘Tegaru vs. Oromo’ face-off is yet to be a hindrance to the freedom movement as well as to the possible transformation in to democracy and prosperity. It seems that the ‘Tegaru vs Oromo’ face-off (both neutralizing each other) is still a very bad opportunity, which the EPP uses to undermine the change and this face-off did not yet get an appropriate solution. The EPP survives and thrives mainly by dividing and polarizing ‘Tegaru vs. Oromo’ as well as by sowing a fear and mistrust between them. We do still hear/read that both camps (Tegaru and Oromo) live under fear and mistrust of each other, so they seem to prefer EPP’s rule or prefer not to allow each other the possibility of taking over power.

Despite this self-sabotage of the two camps, I think a well coordinated non-violent popular uprising of Oromo people in cooperation with that of other nations in Ethiopia is the best way to get rid of the Neo-naftagna EPP. Actually, Oromo people had nothing to lose, if the expected revolution will come. One thing, beside many, in favor of Oromo liberation movement, is the fact that TPLF left Finfinne palace securing its goal – an independence of Tigrai. That is almost happening now. Of course, together with such move of TPLF, Oromia’s chance to get its independence is high. Because of this reason, both Amhara conservatives and the Western protectors of the system of domination did not want to see the EPP being cornered. They surely knew that cornering EPP is almost tantamount to disintegrating the country. That was why, it is not Oromo people, but firstly EPP itself, secondly the colonial-minded Amhara conservative elites, and thirdly their Western handlers, who fear the coming of inclusive revolution to Ethiopia. Thus, the democratic Tegaru forces pushing for revolution are not as such dangerous for the Oromo liberation movement. Even if not Oromia’s independence per referendum, we can achieve its autonomy through genuine federalism within Ethiopian union, i.e. we can achieve national freedom of Oromo people as result of revolution.

This is one of reasons that EPP cadres are busy to hinder an inclusive revolution from taking place in Ethiopia by using their manipulation of the fact that peoples of the country are not [deleted], but different, as their instrument of division and polarization. If the scare tactics, which they tried to use, should hinder an inclusive revolution, the only option oppressed people have is an armed struggle, on which we have to concentrate and invest most, even though it is difficult job, given the little support we have from international community. For the revolution possibly not to take place, unfortunately pro-independence fronts and pro-integration forces were mistrusting each other. Both camps wanted to secure direction of the move after freedom from EPP (result after the revolution). The first bloc wants no reversal of the already achieved victory of limited cultural autonomy on the way towards national independence (self-determination), whereas the second bloc wants to be sure that the country stays intact and possibly the process will be reversed back to the unitary state.

But, why should these people be worried too much about situation after revolution? Is the caution regarding unity of the country by pro-integration forces, different from the scare tactics used by EPP cadres? The cadres go to Oromo forums and tell us the “worse will come; Tegaru will take over, and there will never be the reality of free Oromia, if you push for the revolution;” and then, they go to Tegaru forums and tell them “take care, the worse will come; OLF can take over and it will be end of Ethiopia, if you make a revolution.” It is the fact on the ground that both Oromia and Ethiopia arre taken hostage by EPP. Whenever Oromo force is stronger, EPP threatened with the possibility of dismantling Oromia; and whenever Tegaru force was stronger, it threatened with dismembering the whole country.
