As usual what we do observe in this discussion is that all groups of Oromo politicians want to compell others in order to persuade these others to submit to their position; if this fails, they do try to convince others the importance of their point of view; but lastly all these little dictators can neither compell nor convince others, but surely they will start to compete infront of the Oromo public to win the hearts and minds of the Oromo majority for their position. So, let these little dictators here in cyber world try to compell and convince others, but at the end of the day they all will be obliged to compete!

I am personally against any sort of dictatorial unity, and I am a supporter of a possible union of independent nations in the empire/region based on the free will of the respective peoples. Any unity without Oromo’s public verdict will fail, take it only 1 year, about 10 years or as long as 100 years. That is why I do advocate for a lasting solution based on free will of all the stakeholders, instead of the temporary hoyaa-hoyee of unity as a wishy-washy solution. Some organizations seem to have chosen unconditional Ethiopian unity as a precondition for the alliance against Woyane, but the unity they do strive for will surely never last long, because it is not based on accepting the self-determination of peoples, but based on a predetermination of the future fate of peoples by only few elites. The future coming alliance against Woyane, which may be forged by the OLF et al must be based on a solid ground and must take the self-determination of nations, rather than the unconditional unity of the region/empire, as the precondition for an alliance.

Just regarding some politically vigilant Oromo nationalists, I personally can understand when they do refuse accepting the name Ethiopia as belonging to the Oromo people, but we need to dig deep to come to the facts that the name Ethiopia is not far from the history of the Oromo people in particular and from that of the Cush in general. To illustrate this fact with concrete example, who was the warrior named Abraham Ashine (Ashine means in Afaan Oromo: 'we have begotten a child'), the man who bravely conquered and ruled certain parts of Arabia as the ancient Cushitic Ethiopia used to include not only the areas in the north eastern Africa, but also some regions in Arabia? The issue of this hero, Abraham Ashine, must be researched and the role of the Oromo in ruling even this part of Arabia including Yemen must be rightly interpreted. Fact on the ground seems to show that the Yemenites and some other Asians themselves were/are Cushites and their tricolors, similar to that of Abbaa-Gadaa's faajjii, show it all. Simply put, the Oromo people can win only when we do understand our lost and real history. The Oromo people now fighting against our own history of the Cushites (Ethiopiawinet in its true sense) is not as such constructive. The Agew dynasty of Lalibela (Elalibela) and even the Aksum history is not that of the “Semetics” as usually told, but part and parcel of the Cushitic kingdoms. Can we really find an ancient history that the Tigreans did build in Aksum, which is not part of the Cushitic civilization? Let alone Abyssinian history, we can further say that parts of the Arabian history are based mainly on the Oromo’s (Cushitic) culture, because of the fact that Abraham Ashine, the king who conquered and ruled Arabia seems to be an Oromo in particular and a Cushite in general. Interestingly, even the name of the continent Asia is said to be derived from this Oromo name Ashine, according to some recorded histories, legends or stories.

Once, it was written in this website: "...treat our history in three dimensions: 1) as a common proud history of Oromia and Abyssinia, such as the Adwa Battle; 2) as separate parallel histories of Oromia and Abyssinia; 3) as a common conflict history of Oromia and Abyssinia, such as the Minilik invasion and the so-called Oromo expansion..." Now we do see that the consequences of the above three approaches towards our history are the following possible three destinies regarding Oromian sovereignty:

- those Oromo, who do believe in the common proud history tend to choose liberation of Oromia in Hindi style: the Hindi people liberated all nations and nationalities in their region and named the whole country as India, made Hindi the working language of the Indian federation and of course divided the national area of Hindi into multiple federal regions. Why not we, the Oromo people, liberate the whole nations and nationalities in the Ethiopian empire, call the whole country with the name Oromia and promote Afaan Oromo to the working language of the federation, with the historical local Odaa’s of Oromia (Odaa-Bisil, -Bultum, -Garreess, -Makodi, -Nabee and -Roobaa) being the future separate federal regions of the country?

- those, who tend to accept both the common proud and the conflicting parallel parts of our history opt the liberation in English style: the English people liberated themselves from the 700 years rule of the Roman empire, forged England as an autonomous region and united it with the neighbouring others to form the british United Kingdom, they also made English the working language of the Kingdom. Can’t Oromia being autonomous, free and independent from the alien forces be united with the neighbouring autonomous regions to forge a Cushitic Ethiopian union, similar to that of the british United Kingdom and promote Afaan Oromo to a working language of the union?

- those nationalists, who do percieve only the conflicting parallel history prefer liberation in Ruski style: the Russian elites dismantled the Soviet union and established the Russian federation, which uses the Russian national language, the federation which still does have an influence on its neighbouring nations, because of its economic and military strength. Does this way of dismantling the Ethiopian empire and fostering the highly wished independent Gadaa republic of Oromia to have a further influence over the other liberated neighbouring countries more advantageous than the first two types of sovereignty?

We, all Oromo nationals, are entitled to choose, what we do believe is the best for our nation; what matters at last is, of course, the voice of the Oromo majority. I think a national independence as well as a regional integration should be the agenda of the Oromo people, in contrast to the federation or separation goal of the Tigray-tigriny elites.

As once written on Gadaa.com, it seems that we are treating our history in three dimensions: 1) as only a common proud history of Oromia and Abyssinia, such as the Adwa Battle; 2) as both common proud and conflicting parallel histories of Oromia and Abyssinia; 3) as only a conflicting parallel history of Oromia and Abyssinia, such as the Minilik invasion and the so-called Oromo expansion. Now we do see that the consequences of the above three approaches are the three possible destinies regarding future Oromian sovereignty. If we want to achieve our bilisummaa efficiently, despite this different views, we have to firstly try to fight together for our common freedom from the Abyssinianist elites' system of domination and then settle to choose one of the following styles/types of sovereignty based on the version of Oromo history we respectively do have in mind.

I think national independence as well as regional integration should be the agenda of the Oromo people, in contrast to the federation or separation goal of the Tigrayan elites. Interestingly, the three Abyssinianist groups (the elites of Amhara, Tigrai and Eritrea) have got only one option respectively in their political struggle: the Amhara elites still can only sing about the Hindi-style for they know that Amharinya has got the privilege to be the federal language of the empire; the Eritrean elites, as a minority at the periphery, were so insecure to live within Ethiopia so that they had only the alternative of separation (the Ruski-style); the Tigrayan elites can neither have the language privilege to opt for the Hindi-style nor the capacity to live alone as an independent nation in order to choose the Ruski-style, so they do stick to the English-style.

AFDist, Is it human nature to appear re-conciliatory and wise, when the facts of the deeds of that person dictate otherwise? The Nation of Oromia is bombarded with numerous articles, and books purposely crafted by the Abyssinian dogmatism, and delivered to our children, including to the broad people of Oromia by you, the same individual. I wonder how long you will continue intending to camouflage the compatibility of your evil agendas with the true and genuine Orommumma.

At times, may appear bewildering watching you mixing and molding opposite forces (like the devil busy cooking completely non-matching ingredients claiming the nutritious values of such combinations), just to look like that you are advocating for the reconciliations of the different Oromoo forces. The fact is that even if the Nation of Oromia is eager to have a unity among the true Oromoos who have “in the best interest of Oromia” as priority in their lives, it will be a fatal mistake to the spirit of bilisummaa giving the same ground for the true unselfishly committed freedom fighters of Oromia with those who are sellouts and bent over to protect the unity of the Abyssinian Kingdom.

Maybe, just maybe, your strategy is to occupy the minds of Oromoos who are thirsty for genuine unity, with such hallucinatory and fake unity, rather than striving for the tangible everlasting unity of true freedom lovers of Oromia. There is no stone the Abyssinian and their agents may leave not-turned to see the Nation of Oromia remain under their colony for a longer time. I do not think the gallant Nation of Oromia will be convinced with such insincere and abortive agendas. By the way, we the Oromos, we did not start the fire!!!! The Abyssinian invading army did by murdering half of our population, cutting the breasts of our ladies, .......the list goes on. The only crime the Oromo Nation committed was/is resisting this alien's invasion of our land, scavenging our belongings, and denying the god given human rights of the Nation of Oromia. Therefore, as long as the Abyssinian regime violate our basic human rights, and pour arrays of terror on our Nation, there will be the continuation of our resistances, and reclaiming back of all snatched from us by the colonizers.
With or without the Abyssinian agents and sellout, Oromia shall be free.
