I don't see any harm with regions having their own national guard as long as it is the federal government that has an overall authority over such forces and are meant to execute the laws of the land, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasion. Also, there must have been provisions in place already that will keep the types of weapons these militias use much inferior to the ones in the arsenals of the federal defense forces. Oromia is a massive land mass with large areas of deserts, escarpments and jungles currently infested by bigots. It requires a sizable and well trained fighting force to smoke these miscreants out of their hiding places. Oromia lacks peace and desperately needs one, the one that will last so its economy will flourish picking up the wretched out of abject poverty. It begs for virtual stability and peace so doers will do their due diligent job. It begs for citizen rewarding economic revolution but not ethnic revolutions. There should not be any need for Ethiopia to get out of Oromia because no matter how you dice it and mumble about it Ethiopia is Oromia and Oromia is Ethiopia. I don't have to tell you about it and all you have to do is scratch the surface. Above all and at the end of the day what that Oromo peasant and urban dweller yearns is not that different from what those in Amhara, Tigray, Afar, Somalia and other regions dream about. Nothing!!!
