Can the Oromo Political Trinity (Jawar, Abiy, Lemma) Reunite to Undo the Habesha Elites’ Manipulation?
By Fayyis Oromia*
I remember what Jawar Mohammed once said in an interview during the early days of the 2018 political transition—when Habesha elites were hard at work trying to divide and dismantle Oromo nationalists. To paraphrase:
“They want to instigate animosity between the three of us—Jawar, Abiy, and Lemma—just like they did to Baro Tumsa, Haile Fida, and Senay Likke during the post-1974 revolution.”
That reflection stayed with me.
So I now ask: Were the [ deleted ] Habesha elites successful?
When I see our once-united political trinity scattered—sometimes even in open conflict—it seems they might have succeeded. But I still hope that Jawar, Abiy, Lemma, and their respective supporters will come to their senses and smell the coffee, especially at this critical moment. Today, three major anti-Oromo forces—Nafxagna, Shabiya, and Woyane—are doing everything they can to unite, march on Finfinné Palace, and re-scramble Oromia’s resources.
