Timely Call to the ATO (Amara-Tegaru-Oromo) New Generation!

The old generation of the ATO (Amara-Tegaru-Oromo) power triangle was successful in getting rid of the feudals, but failed miserabily in the struggle against the successive three fascist regimes (Derg, Woyane and Biltsigina) in the last about 50 years. I think, the older generation of the student movement, who struggled in unison against the monarchs, but are devided in their stand against the three dictatorial regimes must retire from politics and the new generation need to take responsibility to shape their own future. The Qérro movement led by dynamic youth like Jawar Mohammed is on the right track. Fànno movement yet need to be free from obsolete minds like Dawit W/Giorgis and Washington “Amara scholars” who called the Oromo with the derogatory G-word to lose the war before starting a single battle. New Tegaru youth being led by Aite Getachew seem to be on the process to emancipate themselves from the back ward mentality of the old generation. At the time, when the progressiv version of Fànno and Tegaru’s new generation be on the same page with Qérro to fight for freedom and union of all nations in Ethiopia, the current fascist dictatorial regime has no chance to survive. Until this triangular cooperation of ATO’s new generation come to their sense, Biltsigina shall prevail further simply by using the devide and destroy mechanism between the forces of the triangle. Thus, my call to the new generation of the ATO triangle is the following. Wake up, find common denominator and fight against the fascist regime in unison, just like your elder brothers and sisters did against the feudals. As they could deal with feudals, you also can get rid of the fascists in order to foster liberty, equality and fraternity of all nations.

One of the main purpose of Irreechaa is the Oromo concept of Araaraa (reconciliation). The century long triangular conflict between the Amhara, Tegaru and Oromo elites need come to end. The Oromo now being victorious over the Habesha elites’ system of domination need to excercise magnanimity. We need to check the [ deleted ] Habesha elites, but be inclusive and loving to both peoples of Amhara and Tegaru. It is time for the population of the triangle to be free from the elites’ conflict. The three nations accepting, respecting and approaching each other is mandatory for the highly wished peaceful coexistance of the Horn peoples. Irreechaa can contribute for this reapproaching of the peaple of the triangle and reconciliation of the elites in the triangle. I hope all nations in Ethiopia (Great Oromia) in general and the two Habesha peoples in particular will take part in the coming Irreechaa celebration in Finfinne, our common capital city.

It is realy good news that we hear Irrechaa will be celebrated in Fifinne for the first time. Irreechaa/Irreessaa, being the day of thanksgiving to Waaqa and being the way of empowering our nation, is celebrated yearly during the transition time from winter (darkness/problem) to spring (the season of light, green fields, flowers, fruits, engaging life partner for the youth, etc.) This is the time during which Oromo people come out in mass to celebrate Waaqa and seek solution for the existing problems. Some Oromo nationals have now started to demand from Ethiopian regime to give this celebration the status of national holiday, just as the Easter of Christianity and the Ramadan of Islam are now enjoying this status in the empire. Even though the Oromo people consider it as our national holiday, the past regimes of the colonizers didn’t want to give it this recognition. Even certain part of the colonizing force wanted to reduce this Oromo national celebration to the celebration of only Waaqeeffata Oromo, as if it has nothing to do with Christian Oromo and Islam Oromo. Is it really so?

According to the expert opinions written up to now, the concept of monotheism seems to have moved from Cushitic black Africans (including Oromo) first to Egypt, secondly further to Israel of the Bible and lastly to the Arab world of Koran. The experts tell us that Moses was not the first monotheist; Akhenaten was the first revolutionary monotheist; they even claim that Moses might have been black. It is also argued that Moses was an Egyptian Pharaoh known as Akhenaten before the exodus. Akhenaten’s monotheism revolution in Egypt was not inspired from inside, but induced from outside by the Cushites, i.e. Akhenaten might have derived his monotheism concept from Oromo’s concept of Waaqa Tokkicha (one God) in a form of “Waaq humna malee bifa hin qabu (God has no physical form, but power)”. This concept may have been misinterpreted so that the other religions later started to talk about God with a physical form.
