The Oromo, who Fostered Ethiopia, Shall Transform it to Oropia (Oromummà Led Country)!
By Fayyis Oromia*
No question about the Ethiopian empire being forged by two faces of the Tülama Oromo (the Habeshanized face led by king Menelik and the non-Habeshanized one led by general Gôbana). The alliance of these two groups was a maker and mover of the war in that empire building process at the end of the nineteenth century. After almost a century rule, this empire was takenover by the Habeshanized Agaw in 1991. The struggle now is not to re-takeover the empire and keep as it is, but to either transform the empire to a union, which we can further call Ethiopia and/or name it as Oropia (Oromummà led country). If the transformation fails, no question that the empire will disintegrate and independent state-nations will emerg – so an independent state of Oromia being one of the emerging nation-states.
But, now it seems that the Oromo are trying to reclaim, reform and rename the empire to Oropia. What a fantastic paradigm shift! We planned to liberate only Oromia (Afàn Oromo speaking core of our country) as we had low confidence during that dark era of the monarchy, at which time the Oromo were reduced to an object of oppression and destined to be eliminated. We achieved a lot through the struggle led by the OLF in the last 50 years and now developed an intermediate confidence to opt for federal union of the country in this transitional time from Amaranet’s domination to Oromummà’s liberation. As long as this domination with Amarigna as the only working language of the federation continues, Ethiopia is de facto Amapia (Amaranet dominated country). So, it is understandable, when a lot of Oromo nationalists still stick to self-rule of Oromia within shared rule of Ethiopia. But, in the future, when Afaan Oromo will be the legitimate primary working language of the federation, replacing Amarigna, we surely shall develop high confidence to even dare for a geo-federation, instead of ethnic federation for Ethiopia will in reality be Oropia. As far as we own Oropia (our gross salary), no need of maintaining Oromia (reducing our income to net salary). Thus, our core struggle now better be to consolidate Oromo’s power in Finfinné palace, promote Afaan Oromo to the primary working language of the federation and integrate the Horn of Africa – home of the whole Oromo, who are living in the region from Meroe to Mombasa.
