The Best Way to Bring Back Diredhawa, Jijjiga, Moyale, Rayya, Wallo, Wolqite, Asosa, Metekel, Hawasa… to Oromia!

By Fayyis Oromia*

Today, many Oromo nationalists are concerned about the regions that were taken from Oromia. It’s a known fact that the Woyane regime has already fractured Oromia, giving away parts of it to neighboring regions. Areas like Finfinne, Rayya, Wallo, Metekel, Asosa, Wolqite, Hawasa, Moyale, Jijjiga, and Diredhawa were all ceded to other regions. The best way for the Oromo to reclaim these lost territories is by forging Oropia (an Oromic-led geo-federation). To achieve this, we need to promote Oromic as the primary federal language, replacing Amharic.

Oromo politics has undergone a paradigm shift—from striving for a sovereign Republic of Oromia to advocating for a democratic Ethiopia, which could become a de facto either Orompia or Oropia. In this vision, Ethiopia, shaped by Oromo values, would adopt Oromic as its primary working language, promote the Gadà system in a modern form across the nation, and ensure that legitimate Oromo leadership is consolidated at the Finfinné Palace. Opting for a larger territory, as opposed to a smaller Oromia, is more beneficial to the Oromo people.

Oromo nationalists should embrace this strategic vision and aim to become influential not only in the Horn of Africa but across the entire African continent. I hope Oromo elites within the OFC, OLA, OLF, and OPP can reach a consensus on this roadmap—one that envisions Ethiopia under Oromo leadership while championing Pan-Africanism. With Finfinné (the heart of the Oromo) as the capital of both Ethiopia and Africa, the Oromo are uniquely positioned to play a leading role in both national and continental politics.

A free Oromo nation, no longer under the domination of the Abyssinian elite, can serve as an example for other African ethno-linguistic groups to claim their freedom and self-rule within a future United States of Africa (USAf), with Finfinné as its capital.

Currently, there is a debate between Oromo and Amhara activists over the identity of Finfinné/Addis Ababa. But I thought the Oromo had already been liberated enough to decide on their own capital city—Finfinné. Neither Amhara nor Tigrayan elites hold power in the Caffé Ararà palace to obstruct Oromo plans—unless, of course, the ruling party, OPP, is pro-Abesha and anti-Oromo.
