The Oromo Can Support Fànnô as Long as it Accepts Agaw Movement and Oromo Struggle!

It is good to observe that Amara national struggle is growng slowly to get central leadership. No question that Fànnô movement is Amara people’s struggle for liberty and democracy. The only thing that Fànnô leaders need to recognize is the parallel emancipation movement of the Agaw and the Oromo. They have to explicetly recognize that Agaw Himira of Lalibela, Qemant of Gondar and Agaw Awi of Bahirdar deserve liberation and self rule just like the Oromo of Finfinne. If they are not against such liberation movement of the Agaw and the Oromo, there is no reason to oppose the Fànnô struggle. The irreconcillable problem can arise only when Fànnô wants to subjugate and suppress self determination right of the Agaw and the Oromo. In case Fànnô is not against self rule of all nations in Ethiopia, it can have strong support from the OLA, TDF and Agaw parties.

Otherwise, it is good to observe that Fànnô movement is more or less becoming Amara’s mass movement. Not yet clear is the motive and purpose of the struggle. Is it really directed against the oppressive incumbent regime of salisawi Derg, i.e Biltsigina or is it planned to continue the hitherto domination of Naftagnas over the Oromo in particular and all nations in general? Is it neo-Naftgna movement to resurrect the slowly dying Amaranet domination? The main rhetoric we heard up to now from the Fànnô bloc is directed against Onegawinet (the very symbol of Oromo liberation struggle), “Galla invasion” (using the old Naftagna’s degrading and derogatory narration) and Oromummà (targeting the basic identity and common ideology of the Oromo). In this sense, Fànnô movement seems to be against the Oromo rather than the ongoing oppression under the rule of salisawi Derg. To get Oromo’s support, the Fànnô movement must correct this rhetoric and try to work with Qeerro, which have Onegawinet mindset and Oromumma ideology, also being against the incumbent. The only way to get rid of salisawi Derg is through cooperation of Faanno movement and Qeerro struggle as well as by involving Tegarus, Agaws and other nations’ new generation as inclusive opposition. For this purpose, Fanno leaders and members need to change their diskurse and to start respecting Onegawinet and Oromumma as well as stop their foolish narrative of “being against Galla invasion”
