The Three Main Oromo Goals Hindered from Fulfillment by Dr. Abiy!

Three years ago as Qeerroo Oromo chased away TPLF, we all thought that the Oromo are liberated. Looking at Oromummaa of Lammaa Magarsa, there was no doubt about that. But, we could observe that Dr. Abiy slowly started to attack Oromummaa and for that action he got huge support of Amhara elites and pro-Amharanet others. Being influenced by neo-Naftagnas, Dr Abiy did a crack down on genuine Oromo nationalists. He chased away people like Lammaa Magarsa from the ruling party and imprisoned nationalists from the OFC and OLF. Now, again Ethiopian prisons speak Afaan Oromo as it was under the TPLF. With all these actions, Dr. Abiy hindered the three main Oromo objectives from fullfillment:

– Political power in Finfinne palace! Dr. Abiy gave away the political power earned by Oromo nationailsts to the neo-Naftagna elites, who are now using him to beat Oromummaa, just as they instrumentalized Mengistu H/Mariam. Both Abiy and Mengistu are revering Amharanet of their wives, instead of respecting Oromummaa of their own.

– Afaan Oromo as primary language of the federation. Dr. Abiy purposely kept Amharanet dominattion at the cost of Oromummaa. Thus, his Ethiopia is still the same to Great Amharia, which reduced Oromiffaa to secondary position.

– Practical (economic) power in the country! Still Dr. Abiy is dining and wining with the already economically privilaged Naftagnas and promote them as investors, instead of building the economic base of the Oromo. Thus, in his Ethiopia, the Oromo are still economocally destitute as they were.

Just looking at These three area of Oromo goals, Dr. Abiy can be any thing, but not pro-Oromummaa. It is time for the already divided Oromo elites (anti-Abiy & pro-Abiy) to come to their sense and deliberate on the way of fullfilling the above mentioned Oromo goals. Now, the issue is not about opposing or supporting Abiy, it is about serving or destroing Oromummaa, for the sake of keeping the domination of Amharanet. It is a high time for ilaa fi ilaame!

A certain Oromo with Amhara mindset (Ermias Legesse) told us currently that Dr. Abiy has killed part of Oromummaa in the last two years. Does this allegation hold water? Is Dr. Abiy promoting Amharanet in Caffee Araara, Finfinnee and the whole Ethiopia at the cost of Oromummaa? Simply put, is he an Oromo playing for Amharanet  club against Oromummaa club? If true, no surprise! In the history of Ethiopia, no Amhara in a true sense had power, but Oromo elites in power used to promote Amharanet neglecting and suppressing Oromummaa. This virus of Amharanet also has infested the currently ruling Oromo elites including Dr. Abiy. As long as they don’t get appropriate Therapy, they surely continue serving Amharanet and Amharinya at the cost of Oromummaa and Oromiffaa. Amharanized Oromo’s like Ermias and classical Amhara elites supprting Dr. Abiy and cursing Oromo nationalists like Lammaa, Jawar, Daud and Marara speaks a million about the trend going on in Finfinnee palace. Ob. Leencoo Lataa once said, “when Abesha elites start to bless me, then I recognize that I am on wrong track, but when they begin to curse me, I know I am doing fine” Is Dr. Abiy on the right way? Keeping the dominance of Amharanet at the cost of Oromummaa will have negative cosquences in his life and history.

Of course, some Oromo nationalists seem to be legitimately so quick to accuse and judge certain fellow Oromo individuals, who seem to work with Abyssinians, being politically on the wrong side and be possibly guilty of commission. We sometimes denounce such fellow Oromo as collaborators, betrayers of our objective and even paint them as criminals, who did atrocities against Oromo nation. Then, all, who are denounced like this usually be denied recognition of their talents, which we would have respected irrespective of the fact to whom service they applied their talents. Who were/are actually the targets of such judgement? Let’s look at our history and our status quo in short for this may help us act correctly in order to achieve our desired future destiny.

Before proceeding in my writing, let me operationally define two important words (innocence and guilt) to be used in this essay. Innocence is a term used to indicate a general lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin or wrongdoing. In a legal context, innocence refers to lack of legal guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime. Guilt is cognitive or emotional experience that occurs when a person realizes or believes – whether justified or not – that he or she has violated legal or moral standard, and is responsible for that violation. There can be a situation where a person can be found guilty by others, including justice institution, but the person may not feel it emotionally or accept it cognitively.

[OPFist]

Regarding our history, we tried to accuse and vilify some of prominent Oromo individuals up to now. Here, to make my position clear, I am not supporter or fan of these Oromo individuals, but I just would like to recommend that we better recognize and accept some of them, specially the non-criminals, at least as strong and talented Oromo nationals, who only played their game in a wrong club. It is not my intention to declare that they are either innocent or guilty because of their actions, but I do suggest to all Oromo at least to recognize their ability and talent. Let’s look at the soccer professional as good metaphor. I personally knew two national players in Germany, who are originally from Poland, their names being Klose and Podolski. Few years back (I don’t remember whether it was in European or World competition), German national club played against Poland, and it was Podolski who scored his historic goal to make Germany a winner against Poland. After that, there was a discussion among Polish politicians on the question: who’s fault was it for this talented man from Poland could play for Germany instead of for his fatherland? Was it that of the player, Polish politicians, his parents or was the economy stu*pid? … etc. Fault-finding after fault-finding took place, but with no avail to correct the loss for Poland. Who ever did the fault, fact was that the talented Polish citizens played against Poland for the advantage of Germany.

[OPFist]

This is classical example to be used to explain the reason for condemning talented Oromo individuals who played political game in political club of Habesha against the Oromo. It is fact, which we can not deny, that these Oromo individuals are talented, but they played in wrong club. Similarly, politically talented Oromo and lot of others in history also played for Habesha against the Oromo. We know that main motive of soccer players is money they earn, but what was/is the motive of Oromo individuals in wrong political club? The temporary financial gain or some other life advantages? If such previlage is the cause, then it can be simply put as an opportunism. Otherwise, who was responsible for their choice of club & for whom to play? Was it only political conviction and the understanding they had, because some did not know the viability of Oromia and might have thought their only country was Ethiopia? Well, previous politicians in history might have thought so, what about those serving Habesha today? Is it, maybe, for they are the mentally enslaved part of Oromo national body as a result of subjugation we endured in the last about 150 years? Or, who really did fault so that our talents could serve Habesha political club instead of Oromo club? Mind you, there were/are also lot of Oromo talents serving Habesha club in other fields like language, arts and sport.

I think it doesn't matter how you put it but the end result of your Galla movement let alone other Ethiopians can not attract the Galla in power. Then the problem should be your cause based on a false fabricated story by Aba Geday. You are the living testament that Amhara did not do any bad thing against Galla except civilizing, teach them religion, helping them to stop the human sacrifice, and worshiping trees, helping them to settle down rather than being nomads and respect others property and life.

Amhara was doing its duty of uplifting Galla to modern humanity in general. The irony is that you know it is the prop Amhara Galla who are in power why then burning their property, chopping their body part and kill them mercilessly. If this is not an evil pagan act what else it could be. Based on your previous analysis Galla as a society needs some kind of cultural and spiritual mass emancipation voluntarily or forcefully.

I think politics of the empire in the last 300 years, till TPLF took power in 1991, was seemingly under domination of some Oromo, including the Amharinya-speaking ones. The main crime or mistake these Oromo elites did seem to be their promoting and using Amharinya as national language, neglecting or even oppressing Afan Oromo. Why did they do that? Maybe, was it similar to action of German royal family, which used to speak French rather than German language, giving more value to foreign language in order to show their status of power or “better human quality” in comparison to ordinary citizens? I do have my own thesis: some Oromo groups seem to have accepted and developed Amharinya since 1270 in relation to their faith in the Holy Book which has been written in Ge-ez; so they fostered Amharinya as new language out of Ge-ez and Afan Oromo; then, it was given moral upper-hand being language of both the clergy and the royalty; Oromo elite, who accepted the religion and such royalty, revered Amharinya at cost of Afan Oromo. Many Amharinya-speaking Oromo seem to be products of such process. Being carriers of this moral upper-hand, Amharinya-speaking Oromo groups (Christianized/Converted Cushites = the Amhara) started to feel superior to others and then tried to “civilize” their Afan Oromo-speaking siblings (No-Sayer/Conserved Cushites = the Galla) south to them.

[Noble Amhara]

Afaan Oromo is a disgusting language to speak Oromo names Lima Wara Illu are very disgusting and sound like garbage names these are good names for the trash cans of Abysinnia I wonder why we never use names for our garbage cans

On the other issue nobody cares if oromigna is spoken or not what’s the big deal the Gurage do not speak Oromo the Sidama the hadiya the afar the Gambela the southerner and the cursed Tigrayan all use Amharic as a pan Ethiopian language

There is no issue or tension between Amhara and Oromo other then blood thirsty Neo-Gallas they are the disease of Africa Neo Gallas are the Ebola of Ethiopia the come from socialist era and have been organized for 60 years doing absolutely nothing...

Imagine if we Amhara had our own liberation front when all you guys were doing that. Amhara would be the most advanced region in the horn!

You are an inferiority complex ridden man, so you think without language domination nothing can be achieved. Every society has its own social stratification that could help it to advance in a particular way. For example, the Oromo societal structure is horizontal while the Amharas society is structured vertically. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Vertical societies organized and enforce their rules with a complex set of administrative structures unlike the horizontal social structure of egalitarian societies. Since 1270 the Oromo leaders willingly integrated to Amhara's vertical organizational system because it is more effective and efficient compared to the Egalitarian system, which lacks reliable rules. It is not effective both for war or commerce. The other advantage the Amhara has had is they have a written language that the government can use to record and transmit its decree. Oromo's written language appeared in the past 30 years, which is in its infantile stage of existence. This however not play down the Oromo languages developed Oral history. It is just to point out the advantage the written language has over the oral as a tool of administration. Instead of domination, you need to think creatively about how best to integrate both societies not by domination but by accommodation.

[Abe Abraham]

Is that true ?

[OPFist]

It is historically recorded that very few soldiers from Tigrai or Semien came with Menelik to invade Oromia, but mainly the “gallant” Oromo (both Amharinya-speakers and Afan Oromo-speakers) being led by Minilik II and Gobana Daacee did the invasion. They promoted Amharinya and Orthodox religion at the cost of Afan Oromo and Waaqeffannaa. Simply put, they promoted Amhara club/ Amharanet club. Amharas and Tigreans, being the Semetized nations of Cush peoples, are then called Habesha (Abyssinians). Language rather than biological heritage being the main part of national identity, this made the above mentioned Oromo nationals in history to be considered as those who played in wrong political club (for Habesha against the Oromo). Now, we can see that based on different languages they do speak (not necessarily based on their biological origin), there is development of different national groups (e.g. Amhara nation, Tigrean nation and Oromo nation). Accordingly, not only in history, we also see today that there are lot of talented Oromo playing in Habesha political club against Oromo’s national interest. Nowadays, Habesha forces fighting against right of the Oromo are divided into two: Amhara domination forces and Tigrean hegemonist forces. Related to this, we also see lot of talented Oromo politicians playing their political game in either Amhara club or Tigrean club.

[Lakeshore]

Still, you are looking for a theory that fits your fabricated false fantasy. I posted an article titled " Nature or Nurture" about what makes a person's identity. As my Duty let me explain to you again. For sake of giving birth, cow dung also gives birth to a magot or worms. The point is, birth is a natural process that nature used to maintain its balance of existence, so yes someone will inherit a few percentages of personal traits but the bigger chunk of its personality and belief is based on its upbringing. That why propaganda becomes a very powerful weapon, even people like you want to benefit from it by repeating lies and false narratives. It is an old tactic first used by roman Christian pop and become a profession by the Russian Collegium of the KGB Felix Dzerzhinsky.

በ ኣንድ ወቅት አንዲህ ብሎ ነበር "ቲዎሪ በሰፊው ህዝብ ወስጥ ሲሰርጽ ቁስ ኣካላዊ ሃይል የሆናል"

That is exactly what is happening to the ignorant Agame and Galla. TPLF preached to its uneducated malnourished Agames for 17 years and they bought its false theory and failed for its false propaganda and sacrificed their life but since it is fantasy and not either true or real, it got disseminated in two weeks time. OLF also preached to the Galla people the false fantasy for the past 50 years and it now becomes a force that needs reckoning with. Since it is a false fantasy and not real it will also be disseminated no matter how much dust they raised.

Back to my point, on the other hand, whether it is propaganda or real life and social norms its surrounding and upbringing make a person be who it is. For this, let me mention first your own two examples the Germans and the Galla.

You said the Germans were speaking more french than Germans, first of I disagree but even if that is the case, the Germans have the power to do everything so why do they want to show to their peoples or need their legitimacy, to be cultured and superior by speaking french was not being German by birth enough?

This by itself showed that it is learned and the perceived reality that makes one superior. It is more of a mental state, not the birthplace if that was the case the Germans should feel superior by default according to you but they do not so they have to take some superior cultural identity, culture not only that also destroy and make themselves the only choice.

When we come to your Galla theory, those Ethiopians that you called Galla elites orAmharanized, who lived with the Amhara elites learned and understand the beauty and complexity of their culture. Since Ethiopian culture is inclusive and accommodating also Amhara is a rewarding society for those who excel in their day-to-day activity especially those who are in the military and help to protect the monarch and the country were not limited by their ethnics as the false Galla fantasy that you preached without any fact on the ground. Except for the Aba Geday war mongering and male organ craving story.

In conclusion, the Amhara society nurture and makes all Galla or Agames even now Eritreans like Gobena, Aba Mella, Abdisa aga, Alula Aba Nega, Moges Asgedom, Zeray deres to become who they are and even nowadays Abyi.

I personally think these are talented Oromo playing in wrong clubs; but a difficult question yet to be answered is that, are they automatically guilty for playing in the wrong club? Or, do we need to trace specific crime they committed against Oromo people and Oromo liberation movement? Should we condemn them as guilty personalities or should we denounce their works? As far as those in history are concerned, I would like to suggest that only professional and unbiased historians look at political life of these talented Oromo individuals, who played for Habesha clubs and then tell us whether they were guilty or not regarding political life of their own people – the Oromo. Concerning those who are now active in Habesha clubs, we can currently record the crimes they may do against their people and bring it to judgement in due time. But, as a principle, we just need to accept that, in general the talented Oromo, who politically played their part in Habesha clubs both in history and in status quo need to be seen as innocent till proven guilty respective to Oromo’s national interest.

[Abe Abraham]

. But, as a principle, we just need to accept that, in general the talented Oromo, who politically played their part in Habesha clubs ( one assumes that they played their part in Habesha clubs within the framework of Ethiopia. Now the question is have the talented Oromos within the system served the Oromo interest even to a lesser extent or not ? Answering the question is imporant when apportioning blame. )

[OPFist]

What is moral of this approach for our future destiny? It shows clearly that Oromo nationals need to know for which political club we have to play and to remember that such political game is not necessarily equivalent to political crime. Secondly, Oromo should try to comprehend the question, why do only Oromo talents play in Habesha club and why do we see almost no Habesha playing in Oromo political club? Here, the answer is that unlike soccer clubs, where only money and advantage play big role as sources of motivation, in politics, only either the subconsciously-enslaved mind or the deliberate-betrayers of one’s own nation can play in others’ club. This was the fact in almost all political areas of the globe, where collaboration is common, and it is also true in the empire we do live in. There are lot of enslaved Oromo, Tigrean, Gurage, Wolayita, Sidama, Hadiya, Somali, Afar, Kambata, Harari, etc minds, who played for and who are still playing in Amhara political club, being falsely designated as “Ethiopian cause.” There are again nowadays, since 1991, many people from almost all nations, who are playing for Tigrean club, again being masked as “Ethiopian club.” But, not surprisingly, we find almost no Habesha or from other nations, who did serve or who is now serving Oromo political club, because of the fact that none of the nations listed above was enslaved by the Oromo.

Listen opfist,

You are still playing your propagandist role. You keep posting things that are not related to the argument that is the same as using "ቲዎሪ በሰፊው ህዝብ ወስጥ ሲሰርጽ ቁስ ኣካላዊ ሃይል የሆናል". I know you do not have depth and also you are sticking to your Galla party policy and couldn't write openly. This is one of the propagandist trait, They need somebody's approval that is also the trait of a slave because he/or she is under subjugation.

Crime doesn't have ethnicity but yes of course it has been witnessed the most gruesome crime of our days is and continued to be committed by ethnics who have identity crises and feel inferior.

e.g Agames killed about 1600 innocent farmers in my Kadra not by a bullet but by machete and axes to eliminate the perceived superiors. Gallas too did the same kind in shashemene, guraferda, bedeno,Metekel, harrar and addis ababa againest the same perceived superior Amahara.But during the war what did Amhara did to its captured enemy feed them carry them and even massages their feet when they are in pain and brought them to justice.

Crime is a crime and it has to be brought justice it doesn't matter it is committed by the usual Galla or Agame but even by Amharas.

You posted so many articles without knowing who is guilty or not. Still, you expect some foreigner (Germans) to tell you what to do, who is guilty and not guilty, and who you are Galla or Ethiopian first. Actually, it is very sad to read this from A Galla who is paid to be Galla intelectual. wow!

This is like saying if you are not with us you must be with the enemy. Peoples have a right not to participate as much as to participate in any groups. You call them independents.

All kind of crime is a crime and needs to be aced with justice there is no immunity. Those canibal Querro and OLF will be eliminated or got arrested see their days in court. There is no other way.

Beside mental slavery and deliberate betrayal, there are some people who have been additionally deceived by the mask (package) called “Ethiopia” in which different contents can be packed. Oromo nationals in wrong club think that they do serve only Ethiopia, but in reality they do serve either Amhara club or Tigrean club. Greeks packed all blacks into this name (mask); Jews packed all Kush nations into it; Tigreans try to pack either Axum empire or TPLF government in to the packet; and of course, Amharas do want to fill the packet with either old empire, which existed till 1991 or with identity of  Amhara. So, whenever we hear and read the name Ethiopia, we have to try to discern which content it means. Specially, we have to know that in all pro-Amhara websites, the name Ethiopia nowadays can be replaced by Amhara nation, and in pro-TPLF websites, the name Ethiopia means simply Woyane regime. It is only Oromo people and our politicians who did not try to use this packet by filling it with an Oromo content. Whether such move is beneficial or not, it is recommendable for Oromo politicians to consider the option of testing and using it.

[Lakeshore]

again respond to the point of the argument do not repeat the same false narrative, again and again, you look full.

[OPFist]

Anyways, our modern approach towards our Oromo collaborators should be to identify and know the enslaved, but talented part of our body (Oromo), who just served Habesha camp without doing any crime against Oromo people in contrast to the deliberate betrayers, who did concrete crime. We should just examine exactly whether they have done crime against Oromo interest or whether they only have been enslaved and served the other camp without committing a specific crime. Yet, we may still ask: isn’t serving Habesha camps by itself a crime? If we mean they are Oromo talents, who have been programmed since their childhood by Habesha software, and accordingly, served Habesha cause, as far as I am concerned, they are not necessarily criminals, but surely, they were and/or are slaves. If we mean they are criminals, we need to give a convincing evidence for any specific crime to accuse and judge them as such. Otherwise, they are simply innocent slaves of Habesha till they are proven guilty of any criminal act against Oromo national interest. But, are Dr. Abiy and co. criminal, enslaved or innocent?   Leaving history for historians, regarding the future, it is up to every Oromo individual to choose between being criminal Oromo, enslaved Oromo or free innocent Oromo; may Waaqa help us!
