This days everyone on facebook or with access to internet is expert on oromo politics. Just listen to these experts:

There is one thing these so called "experts" on oromo politics missing. There is something called generation shift. Abiy and lemma will soon be thing of the past let alone the olders like Bekele, Daud or Merera.
These "experts" Ethiopia and the new generations Ethiopia has nothing in common. The new generation is well informed with good access to information, conscious and mentally liberated. The medias like Abaymedia, Asrat, ESAT and the likes can rant anything for those who are longing for the past and yet to be mentally liberated. Thanks to Dr Abiy, the oromo polotics has gone to a new level, if you know what it means.
Just a reminder for everyone that the oromo struggle has never for a second given a positive outlook in the past or today. so all is a continuation of the past to the present.
Common to these so called "experts" this days is using oromo politicians to express their hate for oromo as a people. No hate can stop the oromo train as the new generation will soon sit in the driver seat. Just think of what oromo as a people has achieved since 1991. Rome was not built overnight.

A short break down of oromo progress since 1991.
1. The Qubee generation - this is the achievement of the introduction of afaan oroomo as medium of instruction in schools across oromia. Anyone who thinks this is not an achievement can present his/her case
2. Cultural revolution - though one can not say the cultural dilution of the previous systems as part of an attempt to assimilate everyone in one culture is fully reversed, there is a significant improvement in this area. Just see the number of artists in afaan oromo, who are promoting oromo culture in anyway possible.
3. Media - not as many as habasha oriented media, but enough to reach the wider oromo population
4. Conscious Generation - the new generation of oromo are relatively well educated and conscious of what is going on. That means it is not easy to manipulate.
5. Mentally liberated - The new generation is mentally liberated and proud of who he/she is no matter what.
So those who are engaged in making oromo their day to day headline of discussion, specially those who are venting their hate against oromo under the cover of criticizing individual oromo politicians should think twice. Also they should be reminded that oromo achieved all these despite their day to day preaching against oromo past to present.
