Addis Ababans are just displaying their protest and despise for the special treatment of one ethnic group out of 80. They are saying laud and clear this is not the celebration of Addis Ababans and we don't want to be part of it but you can have the empty roads if that makes you feel good.
You said at first "I have no problem with cooperation with the Oromo people or Oromia region." and now it seems that you are contented with your own allegation that Addis Ababans boycotted Irrecha celebration, I didn't even know that before you told me.

My first response to you were simply asking you if you don't learn how to accomodate and cooperate with your neighbors, then how are you going to envisage about becoming big and calm (in your own self or house)?

I think I add one more point and finish my discussion with you on this topic.

A well respected German politician (Mr. Helmut Schmidt) once said "the biggest secret of successful politics is the wisdom of understanding and applying the idea of compromise". He is considered a towering figure of German's political establishment and respected from within and outside of his own party as such.

You can claim that you can succeed in your own ways even without learning to compromise with the rest in the field, but please don't come back and tell me when some actors on the other side may call for their own boycott against Finfinne (nailing the roads leading to Finfinne, cutting off its water, power and other kinds of supplies by closing the roads leading to Finfinne and etc.).

Cooperation and/or compromise is not a one-way street, I think.
