Oropia is the Oromo Vision of High Confidence!
By Fayyis Oromia*
Oropia is an Oromic-led, rainbow, geographically federated state in which every language has its own region, enabling it to develop, flourish, and grow. It stands in contrast to Amapia—an Amharic-dominated Ethiopia—where other languages are ultimately destined to fade because of a deliberate, gradual process of assimilation into Amharanet, the Amharic-speaking cultural Amhara identity.
In this framework, Oropia—the new name proposed for what was formerly called Ethiopia—is envisioned as a union built upon the implementation of five core principles, summarized by the FODOB-score:
- F = Freedom from the systems of Amharic domination
- O = Oromic as the primary working language of the union
- D = Democracy as the governing rule of the union
- O = Oropia, rather than Ethiopia, as the official name of the union
- B = Black-Red-White as the Cushitic flag of the union
Oropia—an Oromic-led geo-federation—represents the most promising and forward-looking alternative, the option for which Oromo nationalists with the high political confidence continue to struggle.
Ethiopia, as Amapia (an Amharic-dominated geo-federation), is already politically defunct. As Amarpia (an Amharic-dominated ethnic federation), it is lingering on its deathbed. The transition of Ethiopia toward Confepia (an English-using confederation), Orompia (an Oromic-led ethnic federation), or Oropia is already underway.
Among these three post-freedom sovereignty possibilities:
- Oromia within Confepia represents a goal of low confidence,
- Orompia represents an objective of intermediate confidence, and
- Oropia represents a vision of high confidence.
May Waqa help us achieve the most beneficial vision of high confidence.
Galatôma!
