Tokkummaa For Bilisummaa Is A Feasible Panacea For Oromia’s Predicament
Just as I started writing my opinions on the Oromo websites by first using this topic, I would like to round up and conclude my contribution by re-emphasizing the very imperative tokkummaa for bilisummaa (unity for freedom) of the Oromo nationalists, because there is no other alternative to such unity of purpose among the Oromo liberation groups, if we seriously want to achieve our freedom efficiently. It is not a hidden fact that Oromo and Oromia are in an unpleasant, troublesome or trying colonial situation, from which extrication was up to now difficult. A lot has been said and written about Oromia’s predicament, i.e about a problematic situation, in which the Oromo nationals sometimes seem not to know what to do. We sometimes ask ourselves: is there any feasible solution for our national problem? Even though I don’t have any working prescription against the misery, as usual I do still believe that there is a feasible panacea for our predicament. This panacea as the best remedy is nothing other than Oromo nationalists’ tokkummaa for bilisummaa. That is why Obbo Baro Tumsa once said:
“We, the Oromo nationalists, must capture state power by any means necessary. In order to do this we must clandestinely organize all sectors of our society. It is the responsibility of the young educated Oromo like you, to disseminate the spirit of Oromo nationalism when you return to your respective communities. We can only change the deplorable condition of our people by being tolerant to one another and reestablishing a necessary Oromo national unity. In this way we can build a strong organization, capture state power and take actions that facilitate fundamental social transformation.”
The logic behind this assertion of the Oromo national liberation leader is simple. If we do have tokkumma, we can have humna (force) in order to take state power in Finfinne. Having power in Finfinne is the alpha and omega of the solution we still seek for Oromia’s colonial condition. Classical example to show how power in Finfinne is a remedy for all national problems is Woyane’s performance in 1991. We have seen how Tigrean nationalists dramatically changed the political, economic and social problems of their people within short time after capturing the state power. There is no contradiction between this seeking of power in Finfinne and the striving for national bilisummaa and walabummaa/independence. The only difference is in the matter and way of approach. We may ask: is our liberation move in a form of taking a train ride (an evolutionary or gradualist approach) and/or in a way of having an airplane flight (a revolutionary or maximalist approach) to our kaayyoo (goal) of bilisummaa and walabummaa feasible? It seems that some Oromo nationalists advocate for an exclusive airplane flight without making an adequate feasibility assessment and without looking for another alternative to this direct push for walabummaa. But in a situation where the direct flight to our wished destiny is not feasible, why should taking a train ride be condemned and villified as if it is an evil work of the enemy?
It seems that the move of the ODF (Oromo Dialogue Forum), the OFC (Oromo Federalist Congress) and the OLF-J is an attempt of such looking for an alternative liberation journey as a sort of plan-B in a context, where our preferred plan-A (a direct move to walabummaa) is apparently blocked. Even here, for the ride of the bilisummaa train, tokkummaa of the Oromo nationalists is mandatory; that is why the merger of the two known Oromo parties into the OFC is an encouraging example of the feasible solution. It is also commendable that some Oromo liberation groups did support this merger and that certain Oromo media have transmitted the interview, which one of the leaders of this new united Oromo “legal opposition” force gave. Actually there is nothing, which can hinder the here mentioned three gradualist groups from working together, be it structurally united in one liberation organization or otherwise. Similarly, there is nothing which can in principle prevent the maximalist factions of the OLF from merging under such one structural unity. Just as we do promote the importance of the well organized and empowered OFC to operate as the only “legal opposition” Oromo party, also we should try to foster only one OLF for the sake of consolidating as well as coordinating our resources and have an effective rebel liberation front.
To illustrate what I mean by gradualists and maximalists regarding our liberation movement, let me use the two fronts of African leaders we saw as there was a debate about the process of forging a Union Government of Africa (UGA) and a United States of Africa (USA). Following the decision made to form such a union government in Accra, Ghana, in July 2007, two major conflicting conceptions of the institutional future of the African continent emerged, namely the maximalist approach and the gradualist approach. The maximalists advocated the immediate creation of a Union Government, while the gradualists opted for a stage-by-stage process, with the first stage being the integration of Regional Economic Communities. The gradualists felt that integration should be achieved in stages, with priority given to the harmonization of policies and regional integration. Speaking at the end of the Grand Debate in Accra, President Kufuor said “it was a unanimous decision; the leaders have adopted a step by step approach in order to come out with a concept that suits the African condition”.
Similarily, the question which Oromo nationalists need to ask ourselves is: can we have such a unanimous decision regarding our approach in the liberation struggle? If we can opt together, for instance, for the evolutionary approach, whatever the dictators in the empire are doing to hinder our move, the train of the Oromo liberation struggle will move forwards to the kaayyoo slowly, but surely. The train, which started its journey from Djibouti (a symbol for garbummaa/absolute colony) many decades ago, has already arrived at Diredhawa (a limited cultural autonomy) in 1991, but not yet at Adama (a genuine political federation), on the way to Finfinnee (a complete national bilisummaa and walabummaa, which is our final goal, namely the kaayyoo Oromoo). Whether our colonizers like it or not, this way or that way, the next destabilization of the empire can be an opportunity for the train to move to Adama. So, let’s Oromo nationals be watchful and strengthen our tokkummaa for bilisummaa, and then use the coming opportunity to move forward. Of course, the OLF, which is the mindset of all the bilisummaa loving Oromo, is operating even among the genuine nationalists in the Oromo ruling party, also in the newly consolidated “legal opposition” force and in the multiple rebel groups we do have. This mindset is uniting us, even if we still seem to be structurally disunited.
No question that we all Oromo nationalists want to have a direct airplane flight to our destiny (kaayyoo) if possible, but the reality on the ground can compell us to take the train ride, just as the African leaders were compelled to choose the gradualist approach, despite the importance of the quick and maximalist way of forming UGA. It looks that is why the genuine nationalists in the Oromo ruling party of the incumbent, of course with the OLF-mindset, are there to keep the status quo by making their rhetoric (according to which they have already liberated us), even though they know the fact of our move from Djibouti only to Diredhawa. But the Oromo nationalists in the “legal opposition” group with the OLF-mindset are trying their best to promote the liberation journey to Adama, and we hope they will succeed in the next eventuality. Then the Oromo freedom fighters in the rebel groups with the OLF-mindset will definetly finish the journey to Finfinne. In order to promote this last phase of the liberation movement, we may need an alliance with the forces of the other oppressed nations. But, yet more important above all is an imperative tokkummaa for bilisummaa of all Oromo organizations, which must unite to choose either one of the approaches (either gradualist or maximalist approach) based on the objective reality we are now in or to entertain both approaches at the same time without producing conflicts and then we can agree to:
- live in Diredhawa together (keep the status quo of the limited cultural freedom, despite ‘Oromian occupation within Abyssinian empire’),
- move to Adama together (achieve ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’), and
- finish our journey to Finfinne together (a further push for ‘Oromian independence within African union’).
The question yet to be answered is, why should we and how can we build this tokummaa for bilisummaa? Here, I am just trying to show the answer to this question. We are big nation with about 40 million people, but yet we are colonized. One of the many factors which still hinder us from success is the fragmentation of our political organizations. We do now have several mini Liberation Fronts roaring like baby lions against the one big enemy, the Woyane, as huge as Goliath. This well experienced enemy is laughing at our mini lions, when ever they try to confront it in isolated actions, for they are not as such dangerous. The enemy even pretends to take one or two of them seriously and negotiate with them. But, the baby lions can not gain anything in the negotiation for the Woyane despises them. In order to gain in such negotiation, the mini lions need to be strong enough in the real battle field. That is why all our mini Liberation Fronts have to come under one structure and build one stronger OLF. No one in life fears 100 baby lions, but everyone is scared of confronting one strong adult lion. The following is my small suggestion on how to create such a strong adult lion in the camp of the Oromo liberation movement:
- At the level of the public, we need to enhance the consciousness of our people at the grassroot level and organize them to be oriented towards the big picture, namely towards our final goal of bilisummaa and walabummaa. We have to help our communities all over the world to forge this imperative tokummaa for bilisummaa. Every Oromo at the this level should take heed of the dividers, who do try to play the cards of region, party and religion for the sake of sowing a discord among the Oromo nationals. It seems that we have tackled the division in forms of region and religion effectively, but still we are in the trap of the enemy when it comes to the conflict based on political approach or ideology (e.g the ongoing quarell being pro-independence vs pro-union).
- At the level of the media (forums, radio, internet news, paltalks, televisions etc), we should be wise enough to discern between the constructive and the destructive comments, criticisms and ideas. We know that nowadays our opponents use in cyber world the common Oromo names, the Oromo language and Oromo identity in order to fight against us. Every comment, idea or criticism said or written by someone in the name of Oromo is not necessarily from an Oromo national. Of course, there are some Oromo, who knowingly or unknowingly, do serve the interest of our opponents against the Oromo cause. So, our bloggers, activists and journalists should take heed of such destructive messages and expose them as they are.
- At the level of the polity, I just would like to recommend that all Oromo organizations try to work together. It is encouraging that the “legal” opposition is now consolidating under the OFC. Let also the other mini lions come together and foster one strong adult lion (mighty OLF). These weaker liberation forces do accuse each other as if they do have different kaayyoo. But, when we look at them and scrutinize their programs, they do have no difference in kaayyoo as such. Their common kayyoo is clear, i.e bilisummaa uumata Oromoo and walabummaa biyya Oromoo. Where they do differ is only in garaa (ego and emotion) and karaa (the approach in moving towards the goal). We can understand the difference in garaa in a double sense: one is because of the emotional disagreement between some Oromo politicians (antipathy to each other), whereas the other is the fact that some politicians put self-interest higher than Oromo people’s national interest. I hope in due time, these politicians will learn to work together for the sake of Oromo people’s kaayyoo. Their difference regarding karaa is actually complementary, rather than contradictory. They only need to accept and respect the different karaa chosen by each of them (just as an example, OLF’s “illegal” karaa and OFC’s “legal” karaa are complementary). Regarding the possible alliance with Abyssinian opposition forces, we may march with them to Adama, but surely they will not be ready to move with us up to Finfinne. To comprehend the difference, let us look at the four current political blocs in the empire:
- andinet hayiloch (unity forces): those forces, whom I can designate as Abyssinian Centeralist Forces (ACF) are still trying to bring back the unitary empire as it had been before 1991, with the pretext of Ethiopian unity, still nostalgically longing for the empire which was dominated by Amhara and Amharinya. This group wants to re-achieve the past & obsolete ‘Oromian extinction within Amhara empire’.
- abiyotawi hayiloch (revolutionary forces): the current ruling fascist regime of Woyane’s revolutionary democratic forces, which also can be named as Abyssinian Bantustanist Fronts (ABF) are striving to keep the evil status quo of the temporary ‘Oromian occupation within Tigrean empire’.
- abironet hayiloch (unionist forces): those federalists, who try to achieve both national autonomy for all oppressed nations and regional union for common benefit, be it in the name of Ethiopia or the Horn of Africa. This group includes all Oromian Democratic Federalists (ODF), which want to realize a tactical ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’ as a transitional solution
- arinet hayiloch (independence forces): those fighting for an independence of their respective nations, like the Oromian Liberation Forces (OLF) do, are freedom fighters, which are determined to push further for an ‘Oromian independence within African union’ as a lasting solution with more citizens’ liberty and national security.
In short, for the sake of promoting the imperative tokkummaa for bilisummaa, it is important to know the following simplified formula regarding the contradictions and interactions of these known Oromo national Foes vs Friends: ACF   ABF   ODF   OLF. Here, we can clearly see that the andinet hayiloch want our move back to Djibouti; the abiyotawi hayiloch strive to keep the status quo; with abironet hayiloch, we can move to Adama; and with the arinet hayiloch we can have a strategical alliance to end our journey to Finfinne. Such possible new alliance of the opposition groups in diaspora, which can basically be the same as AFD, but which should more emphasize the importance of national self-determination, needs to be formed in order to promote our liberation journey forwards. Surely, only the abronet & arinet hayiloch can be ready for such an alliance. I again and again would like to encourage the OLF to take a lead as before and forge the imperative unity among the Oromo groups and an important alliance with the other anti-Woyane forces. Especially the mandatory Oromo nationalists’ tokummaa for bilisummaa is the panacea for our hitherto predicament. May Rabbii/Waaqa help us forge this tokkummaa, which can be the fundamental base for our humna to capture the state power in Finfinne palace and then to take actions that can facilitate a fundamental social transformation, which we may need for the further move to Oromia’s walabummaa.

The following artilce is also related to the current debate on Oromian National struggle.
Applying Core Chemistry Of the Oromo National Liberation Struggle To Be Successful
Thanks to the recently observed alarming uncertain situation in the Abyssinian empire, I think the debates and discussions in the Oromo liberation camp is, slowly but surely, coming to the beneficial result. The current tendency of the Oromo nationalists to stop the infighting and to start understanding each other is an encouraging development. Especially the step taken by the group called Oromo Dialogue Forum (ODF) to be against negative propaganda directed at any part of the Oromo liberation movement is the groundbreaking phenomen to stop the senseless pseudo-conflicts we had till now. We have to repeatedly remember the unproductive conflicts we already had in order to learn from our mistakes. We can be sure that we have learned from the experience, only if we don’t repeat the same mistake we commited in the past. Here we can mention, as examples, the conflicts between IFLO and OLF, which costed many precious lives; the split of the OLF-QC from the OLF-SG, the separation of the OLF-JJ and the OLF-SG, as well as the new discord between the ODF and the OLF; all these political frictions were the cause for an unnecessary lose of our talent, energy and time, which we could have invested on the liberation struggle.
When we look at the cause of these conflicts, they seem to be based on the misinterpretations of certain reconcilable discords of different approachs as irreconcilable conflicts. Surprisingly some Oromo freedom fighters didn’t yet grasp this reality, even though they are active participants in the liberation struggle almost for the last about 40 years. The mantra of ‘Ethiopian democratization’ vs ‘Oromian liberation’ as two conflicting goals is still prayed by such people from our liberation camp and of course this pseudo-conflict is highly instrumentalized by the real foes of the Oromo national movement, who want to see this discord be converted to a deadly conflict in the Oromo liberation bloc. But, the fact on the ground is, as I repeatedly tried to clarify, that the two approaches are complementary, not contradictory, to each other.
To undo the still existing confusion, regarding the misidentification of foes and friends in our struggle for Oromo’s freedom/bilisumma and for Oromia’s independence/walabumma, let me use the following formula as the chemistry of our struggle, even if such formula may not work in a soft sciences like that of politics. The chemistry regarding foes vs friends: (OE in AE   OO in AE) of ACF   OLF with (OA in EU   OI in AU). The meanings of the acronyms are: OE = Oromian Extinction, as the goal of the Amhara colonizing elites; AE = Abyssinian Empire, as it is existing since the end of the nineteenth century; OO = Oromian Occupation, as it is now under the Tigrean colonizer elites; ACF stands for Abyssinian Colonial forces, who want to realize either Oromian extinction or Oromian occupation; OLF (Oromian Liberation Forces) including those who want to have ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’ as the prelude to independence and those who want to push directly for ‘Oromian independence within African union’; OA = Oromian Autonomy, EU = Ethiopian Union, OI = Oromian Independence, and AU = African Union.
According to this formula, the two groups in the Abyssinain colonial bloc (those who wish to re-achieve Oromian extinction and those who want to keep the status quo of Oromian occupation) are the foes we have to fight with no compromise; whereas the two groups in the Oromian liberation camp are rivals, but not enemies, to each other (having reconcilable approachs and complementary objectives). Furthermore, it is important to look at the difference between the still existing Abyssinian empire and the possible future emerging Ethiopian union (even though I think this union can exist only as a transitional solution towards the lasting solution, i.e towards the indispendable and inevitable Oromian independence). In the Abyssinian empire, there was/is neither bilisummaa Oromoo nor walabumma Oromiyaa; but in the future transitional Ethiopian union, we do expect both Oromo freedom and Oromian autonomy on the liberation journey towards Oromian independence, because of the fact that such an autonomy is a very good prelude to our highly wished national indepndence. That is why I do consider the conflict between those who want to first realize Oromian autonomy as a short-term goal towards the long-term goal of independence and those who wish to directly achieve Oromian independence as artificial.
As far as I am concerned, both wings of the OLF (the faction, which wants autonomy as a prelude to independence and the groups, who wish independence without any transitional autonomy) can foster tokkummaa (unity) of purpose in order to fight our archenemies in unison, and leave the decision on the two possible goals for the future Oromo public verdict per referendum, which we can excercise when the appropriate time will come. Additionally, it is not wrong if one or both of these groups foster tumsa (alliance) with the opposition groups of the Abyssinian forces, just for the sake of weakening and winning the powerful incumbent colonial force in Finfinne palace. I know that some Oromo nationalists are vehemently against such tumsa, but the logic behind the importance of this move is based on the confidence of the Oromo forces to achieve an Oromian autonomy with or without the help of such alliance and on the fact that there is an implicit acceptance of the near future inevitable self-rule of Oromo in Oromia by certain Abyssinian opposition forces. It is not bad if we can use these forces in order to materialize the better genuine Oromian autonomy in comparison to the present fake federation.
Specially now, at the time of uncertainity in the camp of the Woyane, such tokkumma and tumsa are mandatory. It is already said, “strike while the iron is hot.” Let’s use this moment and shake the fascist and racist regime, because any sort of destablizing the empire is advantageous for the Oromo liberation movement. We can think about the tactic of using a carrot and a stick (shankoora fi shimala) in fighting against the colonizers. As we have observed till now, ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’ is the shankoora, which at least the currently desperate Abyssinain opposition forces like to hear from the OLF. That is why we saw an euphoria in their bloc as one OLF faction anounced the amendment of its program (opted for struggling to achieve autonomy within Ethiopia by abandoning a further move for independence). As a legitimate reaction to this euphoria, the other OLF groups started to stress the uncompromising direct push for an ‘Oromian independence within African union’; this is of course like the use of shimala in order to show the colonizers how determined the Oromo freedom fighters are never to give up the march towards the end goal of bilisummaa Oromoo and walabummaa Oromiyaa. I think, both the shankoora and the shimala are necessary, but we only need to use them in appropriate situations with a right timing.
For instance, now it is imporant to be part of the currently ongoing protest by the Ethiopian Moslem community through emphasizing the importance of a union of all nations after getting rid of the dictatorial regime. The Oromo people have nothing to fear for there is nothing to lose if the empire will be destabilized or if we even opt to live in a union with the other nations as far as the system of domination will be abolished. On the contrary, the Abyssinian elites (both from the incumbent and the opposition) are in a great panic not to see the empire dismembered. They definitely know that every step taken towards Ethiopian democratization is almost tantamount to a move in a direction of Oromian decolonization. A million dollar question is yet: can our Oromo liberation forces use the current opportunity in the empire or are we going to miss the chance as we did, for instance, in the years 1974 and 1991? If we don’t want to lose in the struggle or miss this conductive and favourable situation, then we need to engage the enemy at the core of the power struggle, i.e in Finfinne palace. Moving away from this centeral area of the conflict, as the mistakes done by ME’ISON (1977) and by the OLF (1992), only prolongs our national misery.
Above all, we have to take note that the international handlers of the Abyssinian elites know how to systematically kill any opposition or rebel force against their servants. One of the methods they used till now is giving the challenging individuals and groups a sort of asylum recognition or academic scholarship just in order to remove their engagement from the center or core of power struggle and reduce the anti-regime movement to a less efficient battle to be waged from far away or from abroad. It is important to remember, as an example, how the Moslem lead ELF forces in Eritrea were dismantled and given asylum in the Western world for the sake of replacing them with the Christian dominated EPLF, who were kept and supported to struggle at home for they could better serve the interest of the Christian West and even East, despite the cold war at that time. Also in Ethiopia, we have seen how the OLF leaders were driven in to exile (1992), how CUD leaders were granted asylum after their victory in the 2005 election and how MEDREK leaders were given scholarship at the time of an emerging revolution like that of the Arab spring (2010). Are these removal of the prominent anti-Woyane individuals or freedom fighters from the centre at home not calculated by the foreign masters of the present regime?
Anyways, the best way to tackle this currently incumbent direct and proxy Abyssinian colonizers being promoted by the global power players is the coordinated anti-Woyane struggle in unison by firstly forging the imperative tokkumma of all Oromo nationalists parallel to the andinet/unity of the Amhara (“multinational”) groups and then by secondly fostering the necessary tumsa between these liberation (Oromo) and opposition (Amhara) blocs against the regime. The main struggle should take place at home near the Finfinne palace, which can involve even the OPDO and the ANDM against the dictatorially dominant and hegemonist TPLF. All the movements in the diaspora need to be considered as the diplomatic activisties of thesupport groups in a sense of behaving as ambassadors and financial sources for the commmon cause of freedom from the Woyane tyrants. Regarding the specific Oromo people’s kaayyoo/objective, I think both our foes and our friends should know the real chemistry of the Oromo liberatoion struggle for no one on the planet can hinder the great Gadaa nation from achieving our bilisummaa and walabummaa, be it in a form of ‘Oromian automony within Ethiopian union’ or in a further move towards ‘Oromian independence within African union’.
If the logical relationship of the two objectives (autonomy and independence) is clear as I tried to describe here, then it is absurd that we do observe Oromo nationalists, who do have the revolutionary approach to realize Oromian independence, still opposing and villifying the others, who are following the evolutionary approach (wanting to use Oromian autonomy as a transitional solution on the way to the final goal of Oromian independence). Such nationalists can be compared to a certain Oromo individual living in a refugee camp in Kenya and wanting to immigrate to Washingiton, but refusing to accept when certain friend or relative of him tries to help by getting a transit visa to London, from where he can easily fly further to Washington. The Oromo nation now living under garbummaa/colony, but some of our nationalists opposing an attempt of realizing an ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’ as a transit, yet wishing a direct achievement of an ‘Oromian independence within African union’ is like the ridiculous refusal of the above mentioned refugee not to fly from the camp in Kenya to London on the way to Washingiton, but waiting only for a direct flight to his final destiny, even though he suffers from all sorts of inhuman way of life in the camp.
In short, the Oromo people, do now have an opportunity either to use the evolutionary approach and achieve a genuine ‘Oromian autonomy within Ethiopian union’ as a transitional solution or apply the revolutionary approach and dismantle the colonial system to directly realize our goal of nation building in a form of ‘Oromian independence within African union’, but yet the common sense advises us that the two approaches can be used alternatively for the same purpose. The fact that different Oromo liberation organizations are opting for one of the approachs should not be the cause of conflict and discord in the camp of our liberation movement. Knowing that the enemy uses this pseudo-conflict to divide and destroy us, we have to take hid of any manipulation so that we avoid falling in to the trap of our foes. Materalizing the well known Oromo people’s proverb, “walii galan, alaa galan”, which has almost the same meaning to “united we stand, divided we fall”, is crucially important for our success. Mr.Manoel de Almeida, a Jesuit priest who visited Ethiopia in the 1620s, also once stated: “if God had not blinded them (the Oromo) and willed that certain groups among them should be at war with one another constantly, there would not have been an inch of land in the empire, on which they were not the masters.” Just registering this reality in our minds, let’s pray that Rabbi/Waaqa help us look at the importance of our tokkummaa for bilisummaa (unity for freedom), if we really don’t want to miss the current opporunity of getting our national freedom, be it in one form or the other.
Galatooma!
Welcome to Oromian Explorer
Allow me to take off my hat, and salute those gallant men and women who fought and sacrificed their precious lives in defense of Oromummaa. Because of their sacrifices, today Oromia is a reality and there are also many substantial victories on the cultural front- for example as qubee is flourishing well despite maltreatment in the hands of the enemy.
In the struggle for the realization of Oromumma, many heroines and heroes we have seen. Many more are coming to the scene. Their sacrifice is to remove Ethiopian colonial war machinery and its apparatus-be it through dialogue or armed struggle-with the ultimate goal of forming a government that reflects Oromo national, political and economic interests.
Looking back in the rear view mirror, I know we, as a nation, have come very far from where we started. The road we have come so far has been thorny, twisted and exhaustive. Looking forward, the journey ahead is full of much more twists and turns with many more hills and valleys to traverse. However twisted the journey may be, I am rededicating myself in taking up the fight for two reasons: Firstly, it is out of respect for the gallant men and women who fought and sacrificed for our liberty in the past as well as who are fighting so right now in different forms and places defending Oromian National Struggle. Secondly, and more importantly, because I have a clearer end goal in my mind: that is contributing my tiny share in the sea of fighters to render human liberation a reality in the great Kush territory far beyond Oromia.
Marching forward, we have to look back and assess the past to draw lessons in order to guard past mistakes from reoccurring in the future. Looking back is also to assess the achievement, the hills traveled, the valleys traversed, the mind liberated as well as experience gained. It is to evaluate what you have in your toolbox. It is to celebrate the victories.
It is the fact that successive Ethiopian governments have been waging war against Oromian National Interest. Oromo nationalists have created and rallied behind different Oromo fronts in resisting or removing this continuation of subjugation by successive Ethiopian regimes. One common feature since the conquest of Oromia has been that Oromia and its resources have become the backbone of the Ethiopian empire and that the resources of Oromia is what has strengthened the enemy position.
Without reversing these statuesque, it would be hard, if not impossible, to achieve Oromian national objectives. To reverse the statuesque and ultimately achieve our national objective, we need not only armed forces but also dialogue and peace makers. To carry out these objectives effectively, the Oromo forces should be strengthened economically, militarily, ideologically and organizationally. Our enemies, problems and challenges are diverse. So we need diverse and different approaches, different task forces- in different cloths- different voices. That is why we need to have a dialogue on what an overriding Oromian national objective should be and how to allocate the meager resources to achieve such objectives.
Articulation of an overriding objective will galvanize the different sectors of our society and thereby enable our organizations to consolidate and coordinate the liberation struggle.
We are launching Oromian Explorer to provide a little space for such a national dialogue.
