Time For Oromo Elites to Stop Their Lazy Compromise of Entertaining Amara Elites & Start Fostering Oropia (Oromumma led Ethiopia) on Grave of Amapia (Amaranet Dominated Ethiopia)!

I think Oromo elites did a lazy compromise just to entertain feelings and needs of Amara elites in the last 5 years, after the seemingly constructive Oromara movement. The cvnning Amara elites used this magnanimous approach of the Oromo as an opportunity to organize themselves and start to fight against “Onegawinet, Galla-migration and Oromumma”. These three entities are taken as their main enemies. With such foolish formulation, the Fanno movement made not only Qeerro, but the whole Oromo, as enemy. How can a sound minded Amara intellectuals do such a mistake? Onegawinet (being OLF) is a symbol of Oromo freedom. “Galla Migration” is the evil rhetoric concoted by past Amara feudals and surprisingly, their new generation repeated the same crime against the Oromo. Making Oromumma (God given natural identity of the Oromo) as enemy is the dumbest formulation done by Amara intellectuals in this 21st century. Now, Oromo elites must stand their ground, stop the lazy compromise and take steps to foster Oropia (Oromumma led Ethiopia) on the grave of Amapia (Amaranet dominated Ethiopia). The key to this transformation of Amapia to Oropia is to boldly promote Afaan Oromo to its legitimate primary working language of federal institutes like the palace and parlament, by replacing Amarigna.

Nowadays, we observe that the Amharianist elites led by Abiy Ahmed persuading Oromo artists to sing about Ethiopiawinet, the green-yellow-red flag and about Andinet. Is this right timing to sing Ethiopiawinet? I don’t think so! Still Ethiopiawinet is equivalent to Amharanet, as long as Amharigna is the dominating primary language of the palace, government and parlament. This is the status quo maintained by the Amharianist regime of Abiy Ahmed, who could successfully silence the voice of Oromianists struggling for Afaan Oromo to be the primary language of Ethiopia (Great Oromia). To make the [ deleted ] Amhara elites out of political game, the Oromo need to hijack and instrumentalize the three main agenda usually used by them: the identity (Ethiopiawinet), the flag (green-yellow-red) and the ideology (unitarity). But, as a precondition, firstly Oromo elites should consolidate aangoo/power in Finfinne palace, promote Afaan Oromo to primary language of the federation and cultivate Aadaa/culture of Oromo in the whole country. After fulfilling these three preconditions, the Oromo can sing Ethiopiawinet, carry the green-yellow-red banner and even accept unitarity arrangement in Oromo terms. By taking away these three agenda, which are beloved by the Amhara elites, it is possible to make them out of political game for eternity. To send them further to deep grave, so that they can never come back, the Oromo should help some people of Gojjam, Lalibella and Gondar to revive their Agaw back ground and push the rest in Shoa, Wallo, Gojjam and Gondar to reclaim their Oromo identity.

The Oromo were struggling against the Abyssinian’s system of domination for the last more than a century. Now, that domination is almost over and the Oromo are trying to lead the transformation of Abyssinian empire to Ethiopian union. But, our mindset is still with only liberating Oromia, not yet programmed towards leading Ethiopia. The mindset of liberating Oromia needs an emphasis of Oromo nationalism and denigeration of Abyssinians. In the contrary, the mindset of leading Ethiopia requires an inclusive approach, which should stress common identity for all nations of the country. That common identity is being Ethiopian (Cushite). Even, the two Habesha nations (Amhara and Tegaru) should come back to their true identity of Cush, which they denied because of their religious affliation to “Solomonism”. It is time for the Oromo to play a magnanimous politics as the victor and to be accomodative. It is surprising to observe Oromo activists still “struggling against Amhara assimilationists”! Who is now hindering Afaan Oromo from being federal working language? Amhara elites? Tegaru hegemonists? Neither of the two! Oromo ruling party, the OPP, is procrastinating the implementation for certain reason. Lack of good will? Leadership strategy? Only the OPP leaders and God know it! What we actually need now is leadership quality to bring the Oromo and other nations to their full freedom, equality and sovereignty. We still need Oromummaa for the sake of fighting for liberation of Oromia. Then, we will use Ethiopiawinet for exercicing our leadership role in the whole Ethiopia.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.

More than enough is written about the past and the future of Ethiopia. Here is a short repetition from my present point of view. Ethiopia is only a fraction of the so called Cushland in the northeastern part of Africa, in which several Cushitic nations are found. Certain parts of these nations in the northern part of the country are already Abyssinized due to the cultural and linguistic influence of the Semites from the Middle East; some in the southern part are Bantunized due to the contact with certain Bantu nations; and the others in the eastern part are a bit Arabinized due to the cultural and religious contact with the Arab world. But, at the core of the country is a relatively unaffected part, now called Oromia, still preserving the main values of the proto-Oromo (the Cush).
