The first and greatest obstacle the OPDO had to face after taking control of Arat Kilo in 2018 was the rise of the two monsters first was the Jawarian monster who would provoke large crowds in chants against Opdo and Amhara people calling them "Neftegnas" Jawar was most visible in the eyes of the public.

Opdo Enemy #1

Jawarians - of Arsi | of Bale | of Hararghe

Once Jawar was imprisoned in 2020 he gave up his political bravado and the Eastern Oromos of Arsi Bale and Hararghe became silent and easily to govern by the Opdo party

Opdo Enemy #2

Onegians - of Walaga | of Horu Gudru |

The Onegs of western oromia were different compared to the Qero Jawarians of eastern oromia. The difference is marked by one carrying a stone and the other carrying a gun.

The armed Welegan Western oromos formed OLF against Abiy of Jimma while the Qero Jawarian of eastern oromo were re-governed by the Opdo Party

So the Walagans were confused as to where did PP also known as the Ethiopian Regime came from first they assumed PP was an Amhara party but later on they found out it was a Oromo Party.

The Prosperity Party represents Jimma Oromos who rival Welaga Oromos.

The Shewa Tulama Oromos in Ambo - Barayu are also a strong interest of OPDO survival in Oromia so they come second.

I heard from a Addis Ababan that the police and qeros in Addis that were used as a force against Amhara were actually Tulamas from Sebeta and other towns this confirms that OPDO has to serve Tulama interests and has to conscript a fair amount of Tulamas to survive and govern Oromia

the third most important are the Arsi this is where Shimiles made thousands of farmland to be harvessted by tractors on his facebook page although Tulama Shemeles Abdisa is from Ambo he prides himself in the fertile lands of Arsi and not Ambo....

The Current Opdo is a coalition of Tulama Shewa tribe and Jimma tribe against Welega tribe.
