Amapianist, Amarpianist, Confepianist, Orompianist & Oropianist Elites!

Interestingly, most Oromo nationalists have started talking about Ethiopian unity, rather than the previously cherished goal of Oromian independence. But do they all mean the same kind of Ethiopia? We know that “Ethiopia” is essentially a trademark used by various elites of different nations, each filling it with their own meaning. The reality on the ground is that Ethiopia could theoretically continue to exist in one of the following three forms:
As Amapia (Amharic-dominated geo-federation) – This is the Ethiopia that has existed from the era of Yekuno Amlak in 1270 through the current rule of Abiy Ahmed. It is almost certain that Dr. Abiy’s Ethiopia is simply a continuation of Amarpia (Amharic dominated ethnic federation), which he tries to maintain by preserving the dominant role of Amharic as the primary working language of the federation.
As a Rainbow Confederation – A vision in which all languages flourish according to their national proportions (e.g., 40% Afaan Oromo, 20% Agawigna, 10% Amarigna, 6% Af Somali, 5% Tigrigna, 4% Sidamu Afo, etc.). This perspective, supported by Dr. Lamma Magarsa, is ideal but could only exist temporarily—if at all.
As Oropia (Oromic-led geo-federation) – This is seen as the likely future if Ethiopia is to survive as a democratized and inclusive nation. This form would arise naturally if Oromic assumes its legitimate leadership role, based on the demographic and geographic strength of the Oromo people. Is this what Ob. Jawar Mohammed envisions when he shifted from advocating for Oromian independence to supporting Ethiopian unity? One can hope so.
