Timely Call to the ATO (Amara-Tegaru-Oromo) New Generation!
The old generation of the ATO (Amara-Tegaru-Oromo) power triangle was successful in eliminating feudalism but failed miserably in resisting the three successive fascist regimes—Derg, Woyane, and Biltsigina—over the past 50 years. I believe that the older generation of the student movement, who once united against the monarchy but later became divided in their stance on these regimes, must now retire from politics. It is time for the new generation to take responsibility for shaping their own future.
The Qérrô movement, led by dynamic youth such as Jawar Mohammed, is on the right track. The Fànnô movement, however, still needs to free itself from obsolete minds like Dawit W/Giorgis and Washington-based “Amara scholars” who degraded the Oromo using the derogatory G-word—an attitude that defeats them even before they begin the struggle. The new Tegaru youth, led by Aite Getachew, seem to be in the process of liberating themselves from the backward mentality of the older generation.
When the progressive versions of the Fànnô movement and the Tegaru youth align with Qérrô in the common struggle for freedom and unity of all nations within Ethiopia, the current fascist regime will not survive. Until this triangular cooperation among ATO’s new generation is realized, Biltsigina will continue to dominate by exploiting divisions among the triangle’s forces.
