Is It Time to Put Finfinné Under the Administration of Oromia?
By Fayyis Oromia*
When we observe Amhara elites vehemently opposing the learning of Afan Oromo in Finfinne, there should be no attempt to appease them or be overly cautious about hurting their feelings. Oromo politicians should take the following three radical steps:
- Put Finfinné under the administration of Oromia.
- Promote Oromic as the primary working language of the country, replacing Amharic.
- Forge parliamentary laws that oblige everyone who wants to live and work in Oromia—including Finfinné—to learn Oromic to be properly integrated into Oromo society.
Amhara elites and youth, who readily learn English when living in England, French in France, and German in Germany, have no moral ground to refuse learning Oromic if they want to stay in Oromia, including Finfinné.
Recently, about six pro-Amaranet (anti-Oromummà) parties (Ezema, Balderas, Medrek, Abro, Arena, and Terana) demonstrated their determination to struggle in unison for the self-rule of Addis Ababa. No genuine democrat can oppose such a noble idea. However, two questions arise:
- Should this self-rule be under Oromia or outside Oromia?
- Should it be dominated by Amaranet or led by Oromummà?
