Oromo Elites, Including Dr. Abiy, Always Ruled Ethiopia, but they Disrespected Oromummaa!

Ob. Leenco Lataa tells us that, now, the Oromo are ruling Ethiopia. I argue that Oromo elites always ruled, but Oromummaa never led Ethiopia. Nothing is new about Dr. Abiy. He is not different from his predecesdors regarding the leadership of Oromummaa. He chose revering Amharanet, as dominating element of Ethiopiawinet, instead of respecting Oromummaa and promoting it to the leading component of Ethiopiawinet. It is fact on the ground that Oromo elites including the Amharanized Er. Menelik and the non-Amharanized Dr. Abiy ruled Ethiopia by promoting Amharanet at the cost of Oromummaa. That is why the Oromo are cursing the first and mistrusting the second. Otherwise, it is good that a lot of Oromo elites are reclaiming the flag, history and name of Ethiopia, for which the Oromo paid a lot in history. In every thing about Ethiopia (Oropia = Oromumma led Ethiopia), the Oromo have lion’s share. All demonstrated in the new “unity park” show about the Oromo. We like it or not, almost all the rulers from Yekuno to Abiy are Oromo; just dig deep and de-Habeshanize the history. There was no Amhara rule per se, but rule of Amharanized Oromo promoting Amharanet at the cost of Oromumma. Thanks to the OLF, the trend is slowly but surely reversed. From now on, Oromo elites promoting Oromummaa in Caffee Araara (the palace), Finfinne, Ethiopia and in the Horn will rule the country.

In case we decide for Oropia in the future, then we shall promote: 1. Afan Oromo to working language of the union; 2. Cushitic Black-Red-White to flag of the union; and 3. Oromia, instead of Ethiopia, to name of the union. This is the still ongoing slogan of some Oromo nationals in their discourse we always listen and read. It is a known fact that the Oromo national liberation movement has got an objective of three alternative types of Oromian sovereignty, which will be fostered after the already achievef freedom from the system of domination. The objectives are an independent Oromia as planned by the OLF, a federal Oropia with self-rule of Oromia as opted by OPP of Dr. Abiy and an integrative Oropia (democratic Ethiopia) without Oromia as entertained by ECS of Andargachew Tsige. This is a simplistic way of attributing the three objectives to these organizations, respectively, for we also do read in the mission statement of the OLF:“The fundamental objective of Oromo liberation movement is to exercise Oromo people’s inalienable right to national self-determination to terminate century of oppression and exploitation, and to form, where possible, political union with other nations on the basis of equality, respect for mutual interests and the principle of voluntary associations. … OLF’s commitment to this objective is based on democratic principle, that the Oromo people are endowed with right to decide the type of sovereignty they want to live under and the type of political union they want to form with other peoples. … In fact, the OLF and Oromo people are committed to the noble cause of laying foundation for union of free peoples on the basis of their freely expressed will.”
