Some concepts are unspecific and non-negotiable:
- Self-determination: the overarching objective.
- Freedom: essential in all outcomes.
- Sovereignty: necessary in every form—whether autonomous, independent, or as part of a union.

Others are specific and require decision-making:
- Autonomy vs. independence
- Union of autonomous peoples vs. union of independent nations
It’s likely that the majority of Oromo people would vote for complete independence or a union of independent nations, not just autonomy.

More and more Oromo elites now recognize that gaining Àngô (power) in Finfinné, implementing the Gadà systemnationally, and promoting Afan Oromo as the federal working language can transform Ethiopia into a democratic Oropia, which could be even more beneficial than an isolated Republic of Oromia.

Even the OLF appears to prioritize democratic Oropia over immediate independence, making cooperation with the OFCmore feasible and essential. Together, they can dismantle the dictatorial Abyssinianist regime of the OPP, led by Abiy Ahmed, and pave the way for true bilisummà—whether through a sovereign Oromia or a democratized, Oromo-led Ethiopia.
