Can We Still Call for Cooperation of Oromo and Amhara Elites Against Dictatorial Regime?
Unfortunately, both Amara and Oromo elites repeatedly fall in the trap of the dictatorial regimes in Ethiopia. All the hitherto regimes survived and thrived by dividing and polarizing these two blocs of elites. Currently, Amara elites did three major mistakes to fall into the trap: they framed their struggle as anti-Oromumma (literally against Oromo identity), called the Oromo with the derogatory G-word and used their obsolete narration of being civilizer of other nations including the Oromo. Now, Biltsigina party of Dr. Abiy is using this opportunity for the same mechanism of devide and rule. Why is it as such easy for Biltsiginna to rule over Ethiopians? It is just because of these misguided elites of the two big nations – Amara and Oromo. They are still fighting over past history, present ideology and potential destination. Biltsiginna managed to corner these elites and persuaded them to struggle for unconditional domination of Amaranet vs leadership of Oromumma respectively. With this move, Biltsiginna could reserve the middle ground, i.e union of autonomous nations (rainbow country) as its own position, so that it can accuse Amhara elites as chauvinits and Oromo elites as narrowists and manipulated them to fight each other. I did appreciate a position of the visionary leaders from both big nations, who signed the formation of an alliance called AFD in 2006 and took a necessary step to tacle the TPLF’s tactic of devide and rule at that time, which gradually led to formation of Oromara movement to bring the regime change in 2018. Can we now forge AFD-2 in order to deal with the Biltsiginna’s divide and destroy machination.
