Irreechaa as Freedom-Fest of Orofricanism aka Panafricanism in Finfinne!
The Oromo as the father of Cush and stem of all African nations have now got a chance to admnister ourselves and influence others in a ripple effect from Finfinne, the capital city of Oromia, Oropia (Oromumma led Ethiopia), Orohorn (Oromumma led Horn) and Orofrica (Oromumma led Africa). One of the main components of this influence is the celebration of Irrechaa as the freedom-fest for all African nations in their capital and cultural city – Finfinne. It is time to promote Finfinne to a very multicultural city for all nations of Oropia and Orofrica. That means, all nations in Africa having their cultural center or corner in the city and adopting Afaan Oromo as one of the main common means of communication in Africa.

Re: Irreechaa as Freedom-Fest of Orofricanism aka Panafricanism in Finfinne!
When I write about freedom in this essay, I mean political freedom as central concept in our political thought, and as one of the most important features of free nations and democratic societies. Freedom has already been described in various literature as a relationship free of oppression or coercion; as the absence of disabling conditions and the fulfillment of enabling conditions for an individual as well as for collectives; or as the absence of lived conditions of compulsion, such as economic compulsion in a society. Although political freedom is often interpreted negatively as freedom from unreasonable external constraints on action, it can also refer to positive exercise of rights, capacities and possibilities for action, and exercise of national or social rights. The concept can also include freedom from internal constraints on political action or speech like social conformity or inauthentic behavior. The concept of political freedom is closely connected with concepts of civil liberties and human rights, which, in free nation-states and democratic societies, are usually afforded legal protection from the state.

Irreechaa is a day of national celebration in Oropia (Ethiopia), especially in a sense of Thanksgiving to Waaqa or God. It is primarily originated among the Blue Nile-bound Cushitic people, including the Oromo thousands of years ago. Till now, at national level, it was celebrated in Bishoftu town of Oromia at Lake Arsadii (Hora Arsadi) on the last sunday of september or first sunday of october. From now on, the grand celebration will take place at the heart and mind of Oromia in particular and in Oropia (Oromumma Led Ethiopia) in general. During the festival, Aba Gadaa (traditionally elected national leader), other community leaders as well as Oromo community at large give thanks to Waqaa for the blessed transition from rainy season to bright and colorful Birra (spring) season. Regarding the fest, the following call is already made by the the Oromo youth (Qeerroo) struggling for freedom to all individuals and groups, who are interested in celebrating the next Irreechaa festival:
