De-Abeshization and Re-Oromization of Abyssinia
By Fayyis Oromia*
What a remarkable paradigm shift! Oromo nationalists once pursued the goal of liberating Oromia from Abyssinia, based on the belief that Abyssinians were non-Oromo colonizers. Now, it is becoming evident that Abyssinians are, in fact, Oromo who lost their identity over the past 3,000 years of Solomonization—much like how Eastern Oromo were culturally assimilated over the past 1,500 years through Somalization. We are witnessing the beginning of Re-Oromization for both the Solomonized and Somalized Oromo across the Horn of Africa.
The process of De-Abeshization must start now. It is heartening to hear some Oromo nationalists—who once advocated for an independent Oromia—now speaking about their vision for a federal Orompia (an Oromic-led ethnic federation) or an integrated Oropia (an Oromic-led geo-federation). They are beginning to perceive Abyssinia as part of Oromia, realizing that it is more beneficial to re-Oromize the Abyssinians than to separate from them. For the Oromo, fostering a larger, integrated Oropia (akin to our gross income) is preferable to sustaining a smaller Oromia (our net income).
To achieve this Re-Oromization, it is imperative to promote Oromic as the country’s primary working language, replacing Amharic. This is possible—whether under the current administration of Dr. Abiy or under a future one.

Re: De-Abeshization and Re-Oromization of Abyssinia
Truly, the original content of Ethiopiawinet was Kushawinet in general, and Oromummà in particular. Since the false Solomonization of the Ethiopian Christian kingdom in 1270, there has been an ongoing Amharization of this original Ethiopiawinet = Kushawinet = Oromummà. Today, Ethiopiawinet is equated with Amaranet. This falsified version of Ethiopiawinet is what most Oromo nationalists vehemently reject, which is why they advocate for the Re-Oromization of this corrupted identity.
