Ob Bulchà Dammaqsà was Bold to Use Afàn Oromô in Parliament, which the OLFites Galàsà Dilbô and Dīmà Nagô Couldn’t Dare!

We lost the bold and courageous Oromô father, who used to speak Afàn Oromô in Ethiopian parlamentnt for the first time. Unfortunately, even the OLFites, Ob Galàsà Dilbô and Dr. Dīmà Nagô, didn’t dare to do the same. He was one of few Oromô elites like Dr. Haile Fida, who could understand the central role of promoting Afàn Oromô to its legitimate primary position in Ethiopia. He definately knows that Afàn Oromô freely used in federal institutions is tantamount to transformation of Ethiopia to Oropia (Oromummà led state). To such elites, of course, an independent Oromia (earning net salary) is secondary to an integrative Oropia (owning gross salary). That was the reason for his vehement advocacy of Ethiopian unity with Afàn Oromô as primary federal working language.

Otherwise, it is good to observe that finally the OLFites in OPP re-started to speak Afàn Oromo in Ethiopian parlament, which was the main principle of Ob. Bulchà Dammaqsà during the Woyane rule. It took the OLFites in Biltsigina six years to be so courageous. Nice step, even though a little bit late and not yet enough. Actually, all Oromo parlamentarians starting from Dr. Abiy had to respekt their own language and use it, instead of revering the alien language (Amarigna). Unfortunately, they are still slave minded, who have to be liberated first, in order to be proud of their mother tongue. The OLFites in OPP are slowly becoming courageous to do the liberating job. I just would like to say: well done!
