Future Regional States in Northern Ethiopia: Kunama, Erob, Tigrai, Wolqayit, Raya, Agaw, Qimant, Afar, Argoba, Wallo, Gojjam, Gondar and Shoa!

Just like the inevitable division of Southern Ethiopia into multiple regions (Sidama, Wolaita, Gurage, Kaffa, Omo, Hadiya, Kambata, Gamo, etc), Northern Ethiopia will also have more regional states like Kunama, Erob, Tigrai, Wolqayit, Raya, Agaw, Qimant, Afar, Argoba, wallo, Gojjam, Gondar and Shoa. When we look at the real identity of nations in Ethiopia (Great Oromia), it is fact on the ground that Abyssinia (present regions of Amhara and Tigrai) belong mainly to Agaw nation. Especially, there is no fact which stands against most part of Gondar, Gojjam and certain part of Walloo being Agaw national area.  Otherwise, is it true when some writers say: Oromo is Cush and Cush is Oromo? Or is it only half-true like for instance: ‘Oromo being Cush’ is true, but ‘Cush being Oromo’ is false? If we do believe that it is only half-true, is it fact that the land where Agaw people (a Cushitic sibling of the Oromo) do live, extending from the north tip in Eritrea where Bilen do live, to the south tip in Gojjam where Awi live, is known as Agaw-Midir? Is this part of Ethiopia not the one brutaly influenced/victimized both culturally and linguistically to become core of Abyssinia? Well, certain part of Oromo area (Shoa, Gojjam, Wallo and south Tigrai) are of course other big part of Abyssinia, being accompanied by certain part of Beja, Afar and Saho. That is why, I dare to say that Abyssinians in reality are ABASO (Afar, Beja, Agaw, Saho and Oromo), who denied or lost their Cushitic origin. Another fact on the ground is that, elites of these strongly brutalized Cushites are the worst perpetrators of oppression or they are tormentors of their own kinds and kins, who are not as Habeshanized as they themselves are. Now let me minimize talking about Biyya-Oromo (Oromia) for a while and try to concentrate on Agaw-Midir.

The Agaw people were perhaps first mentioned in the 3rd century Axumite inscription. The inscription refers to a people called ‘Athagaus’ (or Athagaous), perhaps from Ad Agaw, meaning ‘sons of Agaw’. The Agaw are also later mentioned in an inscription of the 4th century Axumite King Ezana and the 6th century King Kaleb. Based on these evidences, a number of experts embrace a theory that they are the original inhabitants of much of the northern Ethiopian highlands, and were either forced out of their original settlements or assimilated by the “Semetic-speaking” Tigray-Tigrinya and Amhara peoples. They currently exist in a number of scattered enclaves, which include Bilen in and around Keren in Eritrea; Qwara and Qemant, who live around Gondar; those in the west of Tekezé River and north of Lake Tana; a number of Agaw living south of Lake Tana, around Dangla in Agaw Awi zone; and another group living around Sokota. The Agaw ruled during the Zagwe dynasty of Ethiopia from about 1137 to 1270; the name of the dynasty itself comes from the Ge’ez phrase Ze-Agaw (meaning ‘of Agaw’), and refers to the Agaw people. The currently existing subgroups include: Northern Agaw, who are known as a Bilen, their capital being Keren; Western Agaw known as Qemant, capital Gondar; Eastern Agaw known as Xamta, capital Soqota; Southern Agaw known as Awi, capital Injibara; also included in this ethnic grouping are Bete-Israel, who formerly lived in northern Amhara region with Qemant and Qwara, but emigrated in late 1990s to Israel.

Interestingly, just as Habesha elites used to tell that the Oromo “migrated” in 16th century to Ethiopia, also Eritreans do narrate that Bilen “migirated” to Eritrea in 16th century. What a parallel! Fact is that both Agaw and the Oromo are indigeneous nations in this north-eastern part of Africa. Agaw became the first and the most unfortunate victim of the Habeshanization process for last 3000 years; the Oromo being relatively mildly affected. Thanks to Oromo liberation movement in checking as well as in resisting this brutal Habeshanization process, significant part of Biyya-Oromo do still enjoy cultural and lingual identity of being an Oromo in comparison to the more than 90% of Agaw, who lost their cultural and linguistical root and became Habeshas of either Amharinya-speaking or Tigrnya-speaking. Had it not been checked like this by our galant Oromo warriors, by now we could also have such mostly Habeshanized and fragmented Biyya-Oromo with only some scattered enclaves of Afaan Oromo-speaking minorities being surrounded by the majority of either Amharinya-speakers or Tigrinya-speakers, just like the presently fragmented situation of Agaw-Midir.
