THE OROMO PEOPLE
The Oromo
people are the largest community in the heart of the current Ethiopia who
belong to the Cush family. The Oromo people have live and spread through out
the Africa mainly on the Eastern and North Eastern part of the African
continent. The Oromo people have many unique foundations.
1-The Oromo Religion
Prior to
arrival of different religions the Oromo people have their own religion.
According to the Oromo religion the people worship only the creator -Waqa
Tokicha and Qallu is a powerful spiritual leader. “Galma” is the place where
the Oromo Qallu lives and performs religious duty.
2- The Gada System
The Oromo
Gada system is a unique foundation which has mandate to determine all social,
economic, political and military affairs. It is also socio-political
organization and the role model of the current democracy.
3-Unity
The unity of
the Oromo people is nature and nurture. It is kinship /biological/, social, political,
economic structure /organization/ and strong relationship.
Factors weaken the Oromo unity
There were
many factors which have played and contributed negative role to weaken the
Oromo Gada system and Unity. Among those factors
1-The Religion
The 1st
split into different religions believed as marked at about 7th c as
Islam arrived some of the Oromo tribes accepted and became Muslims while others
took firm stand to remain with the Oromo traditional religion and way of life.
2-The Administrative /political/ system
The 2nd
split happened when the Oromo people scammed into different systems-/collective
and individual decision making/ In other wards some parts of the Oromo people
continued
1/
The Gada system while the rest
2-Adopted the kingdom /Mooti/ from
the Northern Abasha, Western Arab and
Eastern neighbors.
4-The Natural and Human right
The Oromo
people have another unique foundation based on the humanitarian grounds. The
Oromo people have strong culture which always respects all the natural and the
human rights.
According to
the Oromo people the rule of law classified into two called “Sera Waqa fi Nama”
the law of Nature and mankind.
Genocide, ethnic cleansing, homicide, deforestation
even miss use of natural resources etc… are violations of the natural laws.
DISCOURAGE TO WRONG DOING
THE REVOLUTION SPRING-THE BEGINNING OF THE END
At the end of 19th
c when the European colonial powers held conference 1884-5 in Berlin /Germany/
to scramble Africa an Abasha ruler /Minilik II/ collaborated from the African
continent.
He participated on the
conference through representative and supported his masters. In favor of their
support got all material and financial supports.
He used the support to build
the Naftanya /armed force/ to brutally cannibalize, conquer, occupy, colonize
and rule the neighboring autonomous nations includiun the Oromo and other
Southern people.
In the process the Naftanya
regime and rulers have committed irreversible destruction. They plundered,
destroyed property and many lives of innocent defenseless people.
From an early Nafxtanya
bloody conquest to current Wayane EPRDF/TPLF/ regime the Ethiopian oppressed
people have suffered from the worst oppression.
Under successive regimes and
rulers who have deprived of all from all privileges the Oromo and other
oppressed people who were totally labeled to 2nd citizens.
After the Wayane-EPRDF/TPLF
which has based on Tigre minority group over threw the Naftanya /Amahra regime
has under gone repressive actions against all the people. Especially it has put
on the spot the Oromo in general and the Amahara.
The whole last years the Wayane
regime has used ‘the dived and rule system’ in which sadden measures are
common. The Wayane rulers have repeatedly taken surprising actions.When the
Oromo people resistance poses threats and frustration they have pretended as
they gave recognition to the Amara.
While the reverse happens they
have extended hands to the Oromo people to get relief, demoralize and kneel
down the people from resistance. Similar to the above drama the Wayane
interference in the religion affairs particularly the Islam and Orthodox-the
Christian is another significant problem which is going from bad to worse.
The Last Appearance And Malas Hate Speech
As all the predecessors the
Wayane has targeted the Oromo people in general and the Arsi in particular whom
they always fear and believe a threat to their minority rule the majority
regimes. Shortly before death former PM Malas said “The Al-Qaid cell is in Bale
and Arsi” was clear intention of the Wayane regime.
On his last appearance in the
parliament and speech Malas declared war on the Arsi people and gave shoot to
kill order to trigger happy armed forces-the federal police, army, security,
political rulers, ruling party-TPLF and the EPRDF/OPDO collaborators.
In the hate speech he not only
announced to the EPRDF/TPLF hand picked MPs, political or armed forces but also
attempted to turn the whole Ethiopian people against the Arsi to isolate and
exterminate the community.
Immediately after he pronounced
the allegation on Parliament the Wayane brutal armed forces committed Hasasa
massacre in the Western Arsi region against people who gathered at the Mosque
for the Friday pray.
One year later in August 2013
the Wayane mercenary federal police and army dispatched to the Oromia region,
Arsi land again surrounded the people at the Mosque. There indiscriminately
butchered defenseless civilians where at least 25 killed and dozens were
wounded including children, women and elderly in the Western Arsi zone at
Kofale Mosque, Wabe Gafarsa village, Dodola and other places many people were
arrested and detained by the federal force. Since extra-judicial killing
intensified with the allegation of the Muslim extremism else where in Ethiopia
particularly in the Oromo Arsi land the people were made internally displaced
person /IDP/. While many people left in the problem others were forced to flee
home country to different parts of the world into refugee life.
From the Mililk II the Abasha
king/ who ruled the Naftanya bloody conquest which has devastated the
neighboring self ruled people and welded together to create so-called Ethiopian
Empire-the current Wayane /TPLF- EPRDF/ none of the Ethiopian regimes and
rulers have come to power in the democratic process. All of them have the same
culture and history of succeeding one another through the iron fist and force.
As Mililik imposed him self and
the Naftanya regime on the people Emperor H/Silase II systematically tousled or
wiped out L. Iyasu and Zowuditu to climb to power. In 1974 the Dergue regime
and rulers removed the Emperor from the throne and sized the power in the
military coup. The current Wayane /TPLF-EPRDF/ regime also overthrew
Kol/Mangistu at the gun point and took over the power in 1991 which has ended
the Naftanya /Amara/rule and replaced with the Wayane /Tigre/ ruling class.
During more than the Century
long ruling the Oromo and the rest oppressed people have not only lost social,
economic, political etc rights but also lived under the Empire. The Ethiopia
has still many problems and insecurity. Among main sources of the problems lack
of Unity of the people, National Flag, Constitution etc are significant.
1-The Unity of force Vs the interest /will of the
people
Since the Naaftanya conquest
the unity of Ethiopia has been political unity and belonged to the ruling
class. No body can deny the true nature of the Ethiopian except the old guards.
The Regimes and Rulers who have imposed themselves and systems on the people
have built the self-styled Empire Unity against the will of the people by the
gun and force through blood shed. Also it has been protected by the forces and
belonged to the rulers and ruling class.
2-The Symbol Of The regime Or Rulers Vs National
Flag
It is true and possible to say
Ethiopia is the country still with out the National Flag. The flag which the
country has used isn’t its own permanent and the national Flag except symbol of
the regimes and rulers. All the regimes and rulers who have come and gone have
never used the same flag.
3-The Regulation or rule of Rulers Vs the Law Or
international Law and National Constitution
Similar to impose their symbols
as the National Flag all the past Ethiopian rulers have always imposed their
rules /regulation on the people as The Constitution. As all the Ethiopian
rulers the Wayane rulers have brought and given a self-styled constitution to
the nation and people at gun point.
They have usually changed when
they want to suppress an individual or group assumed to pose threat to them with out public
opinion and expert advices to make an amendment.
Undoubtedly the Wayane regime
is an inheritance of predecessors and destruction. It is also the worst of all
the past Ethiopian rulers and regimes. Because it has based on a single Tigre
tribal and ethnic politics dominance of the minority rule the majority.
It is another Neo-Axumite and
Naftanya occupation which has come to power with out ballot box or people’s
vote. It has imposed itself on the people and still hung to the power at iron
fist against the will of mass whose system has been characterized by rampant
corruption, discrimination, nepotism, atrocity, land grab, poverty and all
forms of the human right both individual and political right violations.
Under authoritarian regime and
rulers always breaking the rules of law has become common problem including the
violations of its own Constitution. From the beginning as it has experienced
turbulent situation and succeeded the Dergue the Wayane regime has faced stiff
resistance. It was politically totally rejected regime by the people. But it
has protected and lived almost for 2 decades under protection the gun or force.
Apparently as result of
building blocks of socio-economic problems related to the Wayane regime and
rulers have lost moral authority to call themselves as the government of all
the Ethiopian people.
To end vicious circle of deep
rooted inheritance of destruction and resistance the only long lasting solution
the people have to intensify inclusive struggle. Among the struggle the best
way is non-violent and political resistance. Particularly to solve the current
national and international political problems the mass action /uprising is the
most powerful and effective resistance.
So the Ethiopian and Oromo
political forces and people have to adopt or work hard on the mass action.
Those people who are still in deep-deep sleep must wake up and join the rest.
Every body has to think about
cause and effect. All failure and success have root cause. The raise and
failure of Napoleon, Adolf Hitler, the Cushitic Nubian ancient civilization,
the Agew self rule distraction by the Abasha successive rulers from
Axsumite/Tigre/, the Oromo and other autonomous people bloody conquest of rival
Amara /Naftanya/ rulers to the current raise of the Wayane rulers /regime/
extension of inheritance of the distraction etc have their own causes. So every
thing has either positive or negative consequence.
Since the Wayane regime
overtook and occupied the power both the positive and the negative consequences
have happened to all walks of life and people. Those beneficiaries who have
enjoyed socio-political and economic privileges assume positive. They usually
think things are alright the regime and rulers are always right etc…
But the victims who have
suffered from the worst atrocity strongly believe the opposite and totally
predict negative consequence. Because they fear the reverse is going to
escalate possible revenge and retaliation which poses threat to ethnic cleansing
or genocide.
Specially the Tigre people
whose sons’ and daughters’ blood shed to liberate their people has been used
against the Oromo and other oppressed people which was brought down from hero
to zero by the Wayane goblin rulers have to analyze the consequence. The Wayane
regime and ruler are perpetrators of the crimes against humanity who are
fighting losing battle.
4-EXTENTION OF THE CULTURE OF RULERS VS LEADERS
The
Ethiopian culture of Rulers is the extension of bloody touristy “War lords” who
have accustomed to climb to power through force and the iron fist by
extra-judicial killing or kidnapping the former ruler at the gun point and
coup. In the process to impose themselves on the people against their will and
ballot paper and build the minority rule the majority Empire they have usually
destroyed the property and the lives.
They have
committed significant all forms of the human right violations such as crimes VS
humanity, ethnic cleansing, genocide, /homicidal terrorism/ etc… including use
of masse destruction and biological weapon. They have made forceful transition
the culture of inheritance for the successive rulers and regimes.
Minilik II
got moral and material support from the European colonial powers Britain,
France, and Russia and built Naftanya army which he carried out the bloody
conquest on the Oromo and Southern autonomous people.
Also declared himself the King. After he inherited
the power to his grand son Lij Iyasu who was born from biological father
Mohammed Ali from Wallo Oromo and Muslim forcefully converted to Christian
/Orthodox/. But he was toppled and Zowuditu /daughter of Minilik II/
temporarlly by the Naftanya so-called
masafints
