even if it is just on the air so far.
If you read the initial W for Wollega, then you missed it. It is to the north and stands for Wollo. We might be forgiven for assuming that a referendum over there down the road could be anticipated.

It is legal to ask for oromos on Wello but from my understanding Amaras also looking for the the land possessed by Oromos with cheating. One of the controversial lands include Wellega, Shewa,Harar and the likes. I think that Oromos are contemplating what is coming.

eprdf gave you a zone already and it is no longer apart of North, South Wollo Zone which is predominantly Amhara
and why in the video are they dressing in amahra clothes and doing eskista and using Amhara instrumental music with the northern hairstyle
did you guys hire Christians ladies from Tulama Ambo to dance in the video because 99% of them are muslim and 1% are Animist?
you guys are ashamed of this

Galla claiming Bete-Amhara is equivalent to a Nigerian claiming to be blond blue eyed Norwegian.
From all we know, the Galla is a flat nosed, kinky haired round faced darker race. I have nothing against that but in terms of look, it is not preferable currently by world standard. That beauty definition/standard may change in the future.
But the Bete-Amhara or formerly Wello is the most beautiful, straight nosed, very curly and silky hair, oily face and very beautiful people. So we know genetics, language and culture is not in favor of the ugly Gallas to lay a claim. But again, Gallas are seen claiming Egypt and Sudanese Nubians. So in the eyes of ugly Gallas, it is natural to claim something they consider nice.

As usual, the anti-Oromo bigots, such as the tigrayan brother (or sister, or even lgbtq member) miss rock, come out of the wood-works.
1. Fact is, since our people have inter-married a lot and assimilated into each other's culture, the borders between us (oromo-amara-tigrayans), are not agreed upon or clear. So you have the areas that are claimed by all sides, or by two sides-example is wollo, welkait, places like bati (which is claimed by oromo's, amara's and afars).
We know that the wallo oromo became more and more assimilated into amara culture, hence why they speak amharic for the most part, but that does not make them ''amara,'' it makes them assimilated oromo's, the same logic many of you use is regards to assimilated groups into the oromo nation, who now speak afaan oromo.
We also know that, in history, the wollo were a majority muslim group, contrary to their mostly Christian neighbors, and it was therefore treated as a threat by the three most known abyssinian/ethio emperors-yohannes, menelik and of course, tewodros, who spent a large part of his career waging a crusade there in wollo, committing various atrocities, and in the end-he lost and was surrounded by those same wollo oromo warriors.
By the way Miss Rock, the Oromo have a variety of looks, we don't have an uniform look; the same goes for amara's and other large nations, such as the somali. I don't have any of those features you mentioned, for example; So trying to insult us by pointing SOME of the features that SOME of us have- is just an emotional rant on your behalf, you sound like a bitter ex-girlfriend whose Oromo husband left her, and that made you angry forever-to the point that you vowed to hate anything Oromo and spread anti-Oromo stuff online. It's also downright silly and nonsensical that you try to compare a nigerian claiming european lands or heritage, to an oromo-ethiopian claiming a part of ethiopia-LOL a land we both inhabit and we've been neighbors for centuries, fighting each other, but also marrying each other and establishing alliances, an empire, etc.

The Oromos in Wollo don't even count 50k. The so called Kemise Oromo Zone has majority Amhara let alone North Wollo & Debub Wello who are predominantly Amhara i.e 93%.
Crying assimilated, changed language....etc won't help you. Wollo/Bete-Amhara is the epicenter of Amhara language, art, music and dance...etc. it is also home for most of the ancient monasteries, churches and mosques. ሃይቅ እስጢፋኖስ፤ ተድባበ ማርያም ፤ ጊሸን ማርያም ፤ ላስታ ላሊበላ ፤ አምባሰል ጊዬርጊስ etc are few examples that predate Galla migration to southern Ethiopia. True, Gallas invaded it when our kingdom & the sultanate of Adal annihilated each other. But Gallas were kicked out from most part and now are limited in Kemissie.
With that being said, the Galla nation is equivalent to a 3 year old toddler who wants your Ferrari & Lamborghini. These is nothing of course if we compare the way infantile Gallas claim the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx in Egypt. Gallas also claimed axum claiming that it was once called አካ ሱማ 
. It is a habitual trait of Gallas to want everything nice. Inferiority complex at its best.

Where is the proof for that claim, then? What makes them Oromo? Speaking Afaan Oromo? Or did you do a lineage check?
It's not ''crying,'' it's stating facts, without the need to resort to insults like you and the other bigoted, anti-Oromo, haters here.
What makes it the ''epi center'' of amara language and so on? Especially when we know, similar to the pure oromo, the pure amara are a minority (meaning, the majority of amara are MIXED and therefore, they've influenced others and have in turn, been influenced by others).
Sayyint, Wallo, may be considered as one of the purest Amara places; but not the rest of Wallo, and it's a minority in comparison to the Amara masses.
You ''cry'' when oromo's, on their own, without the need for the white man's firearms and advice, conquered big lands that make you cry to this very day; but it's not ''crying'' when others conquer. The hypocrisy is clear as day, my tigrayan sister miss rock.
Oromo's do not claim those things but some claim we were inhabitants of some of those lands, at one time or another, which is not farfetched when you compare the looks of the people on the Sphinx...
https://books.google.com/books?id=fg1zC ... pt&f=false
It's been researched, documented & discussed, my angry tigrayan sister who hates oromo's due to the fact that they chased your tplf back to mekelle, and now tigray has been sent back to the 1950's.
While the links to ancient egypt have been discussed, all you can do is cry online about ''gallas,'' and spew insults, because you lack the intellectual capacity and knowledge to make valid points based on research, knowledge, etc.
For such an inferior group, we certainly conquered a lot of land and made you cry about us online a LOT. It's ironically funny indeed.

Sad,
Just to address two things which you either intentionally distorting or misinformed about Wolo (Bete-Amhara)
1) Wolo (originally known as Bete-Amhara) was entirely Christian. The evidence for this is overwhelming. If you ever visited Wolo, on every mountain you hiked you would find debris or remains of churches burnt down by Gragn Ahmed. Woll(Bete-Amhara) being the heartland of Amhara was the most to take the hit from the Adal man, Grang Ahmed’s invasion. To this day, people are by coincidence discovering hidden arcs of covenants that were hidden out of Gragn Ahmed. After Grang Ahmed Islam started to spread, but Islam was spread more due to Muhamedoch (Mamedoch/ ማመዶች).
2) There are more Arab origin in Wollo than Oromo. Most Wolo people in the old days heard of Oromo either on radio or TV or when they came to Addis Ababa - Wolo is truly Amhara. There is nothing wrong to be Oromo, but it is wrong when there are not Oromo in Wollo. Yes, few Oromo migrated but these groups are isolated segments in the Kemissie area. The endigenous Amhara people even knows them - they call them ጃርሶ or ባህር ገማ people who came beyond the sea -ከባህር ማዶ የመጡ. Histoy is history, just we value the Ethiopiawinet of Oromo does not mean we have to re-write or alter history.

Abere the bigoted angry Bere,
1. Regardless of what it 'was', in recent history, which is what we're discussing; the Oromo were present all over that area and gradually became fully integrated into Amhara language/culture, while retaining, for the most part, their Islam.
2. So Arabs have more of a presence in Wallo, than Oromo's? Okay cool, can you prove that then? What sources can you cite to substantiate those claims? Or should we just take your word for it?
OR are those the same tribes who crossed the red sea, in the before christ era; the habeshat tribes of southern arabia?
Are there Arabic names of places in Wallo? If so, what are they?
Warra Himano? Illu? Qallu? Borena? Etc?
Most of wollo heard of oromo only then? Okay cool, can you prove it? Where's the polls, the documents, the sources, etc?
Otherwise, it's fair to assume that you're making things up.

Sadacha as a man from Jimma is a mix of Janjaro, Konta Konso and Oromo. He now speaks Oromo because of the mogadsa and gabarao slavery of southern people by Oromo.
The assimilated janjaro-konso man (Sadacha) currently thinks he is pure Oromo has the audacity to go 1000 miles up north and call Amharas there mixed.

Sad,
--- Again, I do not have any hate toward Oromo. Since you have this hateful OLF agenda, instead of making the discussion educational, you turn it into complete Jal Dawud Jal Mero propaganda stunt.
***** If Wolo people were Oromo, why did the Wollega Oromo and OLF-PP massacre them calling them out "You Neftgena go back to your Wollo?"
---- If you have curiosity to know about Wello(Bete-Amhara) you should be physically there to visit all the Awurajas of Wollo and see it, experience it any ask random people what they know about Oromo. You will get the honest answer right in the field. As I said before, except in Kemissie and its vicinity, there is none. I doubt if you could find 0.09 % Oromo in Wollo. I want you ask the "Tens of thousands of displaced Wollo people in tents at Debre-Berhan city"
---- Name of a person or place is not a valid instrument to certify identity. As I said before, Oromo infiltrated into Wolo following the Adal man, Gragn Mohammed invasion. A man called 'Wolo" who probably was leader lived in one small area.
For instance, William Ruto. His name is William, but he is not White or belongs to UK.
---- Yes, Wolo people have strong roots with Arab. There are families that belong to the Mamedoch, this means Mohammadian. Most Arabic words mingles with Wolo-Amaregna. Example እሩህ - ህይወት ( ለምሳሌ እሩህህ አለ? ደህና ነህ ለማለት) ወይም ዕድሜ - ሃያት ( ሃያት ጀባ ብለው ይመርውቃሉ። There are Bets/Houses like the 12 houses of Israel, namely Ali-Bet, Abey-Bet. These are Arab brothers whose children spread or distributed over Wollo and mingled with the endogenous Amhara people.
If one checks the names of places, perhaps there are more names that are exactly the same as those places in Gondar, For instance, Kimir Dinga, Kemkem, Ebinat, etc. Or even the oldest name of Addis Ababa which is Berara is found in Wollo - Berara is name of place in South Wollo.
---- Again, I am not saying there is not an Oromo migration into Wollo, but it is insignificant demographically. And if in fact Wolo (Bete-Amhara) had connection with Oromo, it is something useful of historical significance being Ethiopian. The problem is ትንሽ ቆሎ ይዘህ ከአሻሮ ተጠጋ አይነት the genocidal OLF thugs wants to illegally claim and massacre. Wollo people are the most victims of OLF-PP. Go everywhere in Ethiopia, Wollegea, Addis Ababa, TPLF-PP war(3 phase) it is Wollo who have been victim - because they are AMHARA.

Miss Rock, regardless of what I am, I know that I have at least partially mixed heritage (example: my mother's grandmother is 100% Silte), like many Ethiopians are. However, I am mostly Oromo and that is what I identify as.
You are the one who is ashamed of his Tigrayan identity, and claim to be an ''Amara nationalist.'' You disgrace and embarass the decent Amara people when you post such things as well, so with allies like you; who needs enemies?
Wollo is definitely mostly, a melting pot of cultures, very few people there would be ''pure.'' This is a fact.
Abere the bigoted dude who pretends to not hate Oromo's,
You show your hatred every time the Oromo is brought up, even saying we are less present in a part of Ethiopia than Arabs, which is beyond ironically hilarious and FALSE.
''North of the Tulama to the Basilo river, in the highlands between Gojam on the west and the Afar lowlands on the east.
The Wollo Oromo (not ''Galla'') are much mixed with the Abyssinians, and in some tribes the process of assimilation has gone so far that it is difficult to say whether they should now be classed ethnically as Oromo or Abysisnian.
In some, too, the Oromo language has been largely superseded by Amharic (example: Warra Himano).
North of the Wollo region proper, and extending up to and beyond Lake Asangi, is a tongue of land occupied by Oromo consisting mainly of the Raya and Yejju tribal groups.
The Raya are also known as Azabo; and the Yejju appear to be a mixed people due to intermarriage of Oromo with a people of Afar type.
The Raya have a reputation for ferocity, and are fairly recent converts to Islam; the Yejju and Wollo are Muslim as well.
The Wollo are said to consist of 7 tribes, and were referred to by the Amhara's as ''Sabbat Bet Wollo,'' the ''seven houses of Wollo.''

Yejju and Mammadoch are OROMO elitist dynasties, which were mostly MUSLIM, but NOT ARAB; once again, you prove you are wrong.
''To the south of Yajji, another dynasty was founded by Wallo Oromo toward the end of the 19th century.
The Wallo Oromo were less assimilated (AT THAT TIME) into Amhara culture and had been strong in their Islamic faith since medieval times.
This group was founded by Muhammad Ali, and the dynasty, Mammadoch, was named after him.
This dynasty went into decline following the death of his grandson Abba Jirru Liban in 1825, and thereafter was divided into rival factions until eventually the whole region was annexed by the kingdom of Shawa in the 1870s.''
[Integration and Peace in East Africa: A History of the Oromo Nation

In regards to what occurred in Wallaga, I have no doubt, it's the henchmen of ABIY hired to FRAME and DISPARGE OLA/OLF, and such things were exposed in documents/books/articles/etc, I even posted about it before. The thing is, since many of you guys already have an internalized bias against ANYTHING OROMO, especially OROMO NATIONALISTS, you are susceptible and prone to accept any malicious lies, and propaganda about Oromos.
The only time you'd see OLA fight Amara's there, is if they to choose to side with the enemies of the Oromo and fight us, otherwise, no reason and no benefit can be derived from targeted from civilians; but there are benefits for the govt to derive from it-to defame the OLA/OLF, to have more enemies fight it, to cause divisions between oromo and amara there, etc.

Sad,
It is a good beginning that you at least googled some information. However, it is not only shallow but is based on wild fiction of OLF activists.
Yes, in the 16th century Oromo sneaked into Bete-Amhara, not in a wave migration and out right act of Mogassa that occurred like in Shewa, Wollega, Fetegar. Militant invaded Bete-Amhara and installed leadership on the indigenous Amhara people. To your surprise, the place Worehimeno is in fact the exact place of Bete-Amhara ( that was its original name is Bete-Amhara). Oromo militants following Gragn Amhed raided that area and in some instances changed names of few places. Meqdella (Biblical name, it is one of the place where few of those Israelites accompanying Menelik I settled ), Koreb, Debrezeit, Tenta , AmbaMariam, Ameroch-Amba, Genete,Adjibar( Tenta, not Saynit or Gondar's Adjibar) just few of big place) are found. Like in many traditional communities there were social stratification following Grang invasion and Oromo.
1- Mohammedian (Mamodoch) - claims direct descendant from prophet Mohammed - eg. Sheik Hussien Jibril
2- Jarso ( Oromo military immigrants, very rare in population)
3- Balager ( Gebere) Amhara indigenous people
4- Negadras - traders who travelled as far as Jimma for slave trade and coffee -
5- Black smith
The Jarso and Mohammedian usually inter marries. The indigenous people knows both the Jarso and Mohammedians are immigrants and are very rarely found. To your surprise, I happened to visit one of the churches Gragn Ahmed tried to attack in the vicinity of Adjibar city, in my own eyes I saw the footprints of his horse all over the rock. As the people told me, the church being on hill with one entry only, Gragni in a rainy day attempted to burn however angle repelled him back and his horse let footprint in a huge surface area, it is hard to believe. But it is real, you can go and see it yourself). Still, several Tabots are being recovered from caves in this Bete-Amhara area.
One other thing I came across was the burial places. There is የጋላ ቀብር place ( I hope you and others do not get offended because that was it was called). I was wondering what that means. Two reasons were given to me 1) According to stories the area raided by people (they called them አፋቸው የማይገባ) and were dead in fierce battle 2) This one is related to either their faith or social status. They could not be buried either in church or የእስላም መቃብር ቦታ, because they were neither Christina nor Muslim. The other was the locals equate them with ባርያ Thus, in a rigid and stratified society ባርያ so in those old days there is differential in status.
--- Since you raised some issues with King Michael, I would like to share with you what I knew about him to. His ancestral background is very complicated. There are those he is mixed blood of Amhara, Oromo and Somali; there are those who said he is defendants of Prophet Mohammed and Amhara; and still others who claim he belongs to the Gondarine King Susenyous. Unlike today, leaders in the past never identified themselves with a certain ethnic group, that was why their history became mysterious. Even Mengistu Hailemariam to this date said nothing about himself - some says he is an Oromo, Others say he is from Konso, etc. Some modern-day writers use horses name as if it were their real name.
But, Negus Michael was born of an Amhara father and a servant (ባርያ). His father although Amhara was Muslim claiming direct form Mohammedians. Sheik Hussien prophetically said about the birth of Negus Michael from ባርያ
ልጅስ ተገኘ - ከ ገረድ፤
ስሙንም አልነው ማመድ፤
የመዲናን ድብ የሚንድ።
ይህ ማለት እስልምና (መካ መዲናን) አፍርሶ ክርስትና የሚቀበል ማለት ነው።
እርሳቸው እንዳሉትም ከገረድ ተወለደ አምባሰል ጉልቦ ሚካኤል ተጠመቀ - አጼ ዮሀንስ ክርስትና አባት ሁነው። ንጉስ ተባለ። ከነገሰም በሗላ ብዙ ቤተክርስቲያን አሰራ - ላሊ በላ ተሳለመ። ግጥምም ተገጠመለት፡
ከእንግድህ ዲያብሎስ -ምን ይበላ፥
የወሎውም ንጉስ ሳመ ላሊበላ።
ሌላው ንጉስ ሚካኤል ያደገው ሳይንት እና ደበረዘይት ነው ይህም ከቴወድሮስ ፊት ገለል እንድል እድል ሰጥቶታል።
