Oromo Elites in the two Competing Lines of Ethiopian Politics!
Ethiopian (Great Oromian) politics is characterized by two lines of thought or two visions: Ethiofederalism including und up to Integration vs Ethnofederalism including und up to Independence. The first line is highly promoted by Amhara elites and the second one strongly supported by Tegaru elites. Both do that based on their own respective advantage and interest. Amharas think of assimilating the whole country because of the still dominating Amharanet (Amharinya) and Tegarus need to secure their minority status and prevent this danger of assimilation. Oromo elites seem to entertain both. The more confident they are to own and lead the country, they opt for the first and the less confident they are vis a vis Abyssinian elites’ cannng manipulation, they prefer security through the second line. As an example, Halle Fida was in favour of first line, whereas Baro Tumsa was promoter of the second. Now, it seems the majority are marching in the second line. The few like Dr. Abiy, who seem to be open for the first line are suspected as pro-Amhara (pro-Nafxanya).
