Core Purpose of Oromo Struggle: Afaan Oromo as Primary Working Language of Ethiopia!

How pity to see Oromo nationalists, who have been leaders, members and supporters of the OLF being now parts of Ethiopian parlament and trying to speak perfect Amarigna instead of respecting and using Afaan Oromo. These people used to struggle for promotion of Oromo culture and language so that no one with sound mind can imagine that they try to be better Amara. Where is the difference between parlaments of the Monarch, Derg, Woyane and that of Biltsiginna? They all had Oromo rulers (H/Sillassie, Mengistu, Nagasoo and Abiy) and most of parlament members have always been such Oromos, who rever Amaranet/Amarigna instead of respecting Oromummà/Oromiffà. They prefer to be better Amara than the native Amaras. Such slave mentality was not expected from the ex-OLF leaders and members, who are now in the parlament. Ethiopia now using only Amarigna in all federal institutions is the same old Ethiopia serving the best interest of the cvnning Amara elites, who are well experienced in manipulating and instrumentalizing Oromo rulers in Finifinne palace. I hope that Abiy Ahmed will be the last Oromo to be instrumentalized and used by Amara elites. Genuine Oromo nationalists in the OFC, OLA/OLF and OPP should break this vicious cycle by promoting Afàn Oromô to the primary working language of all federal institutions (the palace, parlament, cabinet, justice, security, military, etc). This should be the core purpose of Oromo struggle, be it we finally achieve an independent Oromia or an integrative Oropia (Oromummà led Ethiopia).
