Dr. Baro Tumsa was Oromo Thesis; is Dr. Abiy Ahmad the Antithesis? 

Two years ago, I wrote: "Baro's message is already done and the Oromo are in power, but are we ready to fulfill Fayyis' idea of keeping Oromo's power in Caffee Araaraa by any means?". Now, after two years, I doubt if Dr. Abiy is the right person to realize Dr. Baro's vision.  Obbo Baro Tumsa (1938–1978), pharmacist, lawyer, Oromo nationalist and political leader in Oromia was said to be one of those mainly responsible for formation of the OLF. He was one of the revolutionary students in 1960s – who once spoke: “We, the Oromo, must capture state power by any means necessary. In order to do this, we must clandestinely organize all sectors of our society. It is the responsibility of the young educated Oromo like you, to disseminate the spirit of Oromo nationalism when you return to your respective communities. We can only change the deplorable condition of our people by being tolerant to one another and reestablishing a necessary Oromo national unity. In this way, we can build a strong organization, capture state power and take actions that facilitate fundamental social transformation.” Eci’at (one of the legal opposition parties during Derg era) was also led by Ob. Baaroo Tumsaa. He was simply an Oromo liberation leader, who could successfully incorporate, in his own person, both nonviolent struggle and armed fighting as complementary means in Oromo liberation movement. It was pity, when we observed different Oromo organizations alienating one another and regarding each other as enemies – just because of choosing one of these two means and leaving the other for practical reasons. It was sickening to hear certain members and supporters of one organization regarding other Oromo nationalists as enemy (or vice versa), just because of one’s preference of one means to the other. Additionally, how unfortunate that Dr. Abiy is trying to keep the existing dominance of Amharanet over Oromummaa and other national identities. He seems to be the antithesis of Dr. Baro Tumsa.

If we agree on the validity of Ob. Baroo Tumsa’s five points procedure and work on it accordingly, take it how long it may, at the end of the day, we will consolidate the state power at CA and then take necessary actions to realize either an independent  Gadaa Oromia or an integrative Great Oromia. Can OPP and/or OLF be the realizer of this vision? Are they now implementing the fifth step described by Ob. Baro? Unfortunately, OPP of Dr. already disappointed the Oromo in this aspect. But, surely, Ethiopia shall either give birth to Gadaa Oromia or be transformed to Great Oromia. For this purpose, we have to follow Fayyis Oromia’s advice: keep Oromo’s power at CA by any means possible; not only power of Oromo elites, but also promotion of Oromummaa to the primary element of future Ethiopiawinet, of course Amaranet taking second place next to Oromummaa. May Waaqa help us keep together the power in CA and leave the decision on the two post-freedom types of sovereignty for Oromo people!

That character (Baro Tumsa) could be paralleled in today's political scene with only the likes of jawar Mohammed, someone lacking any clear political vision or stand but grabing power by any means possible, at the cost of anything including the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people of the country. A truly political prostitution, he was active in almast all political groupings of the day, at times puting the lives of his own purported comrades at risk and this political prostitution would going to cost him his own live, he was killed by his own comrade at the end. But why?

Someone who lacked any sort of clear stand has also not deserved to live and keep putting the lives of many at risk and should be eliminated in due time, and that was what happened.

Youn have no vision and clear political goal but left with a notorious notion of someone is "assimilated" or "not assimilated" (he is a diqala, in your own words) and this should have been an embarrassing, if you had any sort of left over quality of human dignity.

You are a scar of humanity
