Oromo-Specific Goal: Oromic as the Primary Working Language of Ethiopia!
The Oromo once envisioned an independent Oromia due to our low confidence during the dark era of oppression. Over time, we shifted towards supporting a democratic federal Orompia (Oromummà-led ethnic federation) after developing a moderate level of confidence to lead Ethiopia as a whole. Surely, in the future, as our confidence grows, we may even transcend the idea of borders entirely—because a democratic Ethiopia will ultimately become a de facto Oropia (an Oromic-led, inclusive, and diverse geo-federation of Ethiopia). The essential precondition for this transformation is the promotion of Oromic to become the primary working language of Ethiopia, replacing Amharic. For this reason, Oromo republicans must take power in the Finfinne palace and implement this linguistic transition.
It is increasingly clear that elites from the Amhara and Oromo communities are competing for leadership and influence in Finfinné. What remains unclear is Dr. Abiy’s stance in this power struggle. So far, he has upheld the dominance of Amharic, often at the expense of Oromic. This is why he has lost the support of the Oromo majority—especially the youth movement known as Qérrô. Recognizing this shift, [ deleted ] Amhara elites—who have alienated him from his Oromo base—are now trying to remove him from power. At this crossroads, Dr. Abiy has two choices: align with Amharanet, or return to Oromummà. He cannot straddle both sides. Ethiopia’s future lies either in continued Amharic dominance or in the emergence of Oromic leadership.
