የሸዋ ዐፄ ምኒልክ ውለታ - አመድ አፋሽ እጃቸው " አባ ጅፋር ሆይ! አይማረኝ አልምርህም። በአርዕያ ሥላሴ አምሳል የተፈጠረውን ኦሮሞ"ጋላ" እያሳደደክ ትገድላለህ፤ ትሸጣለህ። ይህን ግፍ አቁም" ። ዛሬ የአማራ በጅማ ኦሮሙማዎች ይታረዳል።
Note that this is not a direct quote, but the letter of ultimatum sent to the wealthy slave trader Aba Jifar (an Arab by origin) carried a very similar spirit. Aba Jifar was a notorious figure known for his brutal campaigns against the Kulo, Janjero, and the Oromo of Jimma and Kefa. He actively hunted, killed, and exported Oromo individuals as slaves. Ironically, today many Oromos regard Aba-Jifar as a hero, while viewing Menelik as their enemy — a striking paradox.
