Consensus on Confepia is the Best and Possible Compromise Solution!
By Fayyis Oromia*
From the five possible fates of Ethiopia (1. Amapia = Amharic-dominated geofederation, 2. Amarpia = Amharic-dominated ethnic federation, 3. Confepia = English-using confederation or union of free nations, 4. Orompia = Oromic-led ethnic federation and 5. Oropia = Oromic-led geofederation), it seems the middle possibility, i.e Confepia, seems to be the compromise win-win solution. Otherwise, Ethiopia will either be further Amharic-dominated or futurely Oromic-led.
According to the hitherto developments, the EPP, as a merged entity of the former EPRDF, continues to promote ethnofederalism and supports a democratic federal union, maintaining the current language-based federation. When I hear about Obbo Leenco Bati of the ODF endorsing the Medemer/Ida’amü/Synergy project led by the Prime Minister, it becomes clear that the ODF is now aligned with the EPP. This vision was originally inspired by Obbo Léncô Latà.
On the other hand, several years ago, around six Ethiofederalist parties—including AG7, which supports an integrative Oropia (i.e., an Ethiopia led by Oromic)—merged to form a stronger unified party, the Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice (ECS), in preparation for the 2020 Ethiopian election. This plan is rooted in the vision of Dr. Haile Fida.
