We changed you; why not in turn change others when you can.
Your memory may be short but not ours.
When Oromo migrated to central, southeast and west, and north Ethiopia, they came with spears/ sticks, cattle, animal skin to cover their private parts, b*tter on their heads, and slept in the open fields with their cattle. They did not know how to farm, how to build houses, how to spin cotton and make clothes.
Gurages, Damots(Welaitas), Amara and Tigrey taught them our way of lives, our civilizations. Oromos who live near Gurage borders build houses similar to Gurage's.
Thank God, they learnt. I would say they were good learners. We did our best as kind and hospitable people. We did it because of our humane culture. We did it because we felt God himself would be pleased despite a bad guest at our door steps. We helped Oromo civilize to please God.
If you are spiritual, if your soul has connection with God, you would help those who need help.
Don't be racist. Be a Gurage.
