Is Consensus on Federal Union at Cost of Independent Oromia and Integrative Oropia Possible?

According to the recent development, EPP as merger party of EERDF will continue to be Ethnofederalist promoter of democratic federal union, keeping the existing language based federation. When I hear how Ob. Léncô Bàtī of the ODF was involved in promoting the Medemer/Ida’amu/Synergy project of the PM, it is clear that ODF is part of EPP. This vision was originally from Ob. Léncô Latà. On the other hand, few months ago, about six Ethiofederalist parties (supporters of an integrative Oropia, i.e Oromumma led Ethiopia) like AG7 merged and fostered a consolidated strong party (ECS) as preparation for the election 2020 in Ethiopia. Such plan was originally from Dr. Haile Fida. Confederalist forces are now trying to strengthen their cooperation. Their goal of national independence with possible union (independent Oromia) was persued by Baro Tumsa. Surely, the ruling party will be challenged by these two opposition camps. Ethiofederalists are trying to repeat the CUD (Qinijit) phenomen of 2005. Can the Confederalists forge a strong opposition to challenge the incumbent and Ethiofederalists? Time will show us.
