1. This currently ongoing Oromian Qeerroo movement is part and parcel of the Oromo liberation movement (our Fighter-Jet). I think we can present our Fighter-Jet as an airkraft with the differentiated three parts of its left-wing, with its centeral body and with differentiated three parts of its right-wing. I would like to personify all the parts with the following prominent Oromo nationalists:

   – Nagaaso Gidaada of the far-left, who tries to achieve through his UDJ party an integrative Oromia = the whole Ethiopia, without necessarily having an autonomous core Oromia within Ethiopia. All individuals and institutions with such goal can be classified here.

   – Marara Guddina of the middle-left, who once said “Oromian national autonomy within Ethiopian federation is not bad, but we don’t need to dye for it”; he was considering that even Gondar and other northern parts of the empire are part of Oromia; accordingly, he wants to realize either Nagaasso’s or Bulcha’s position per Oromo public referendum.

   – Bulcha Dammaqsa of the near-left, who wants to have an integrative Oromia in a form of an autonomous Oromian state within Ethiopian federation.

   – Fayyis Oromia of the centeral body, who is open for all the positions of the left (integrative Oromia) and the right (independent Oromia), as far as the determiners are the Oromo public at large per referendum.

   – Leenco Lata of the near-right, who advocates a nationally independent Oromia within a regional union of free nations in and around Ethiopia.

   – Daud Ibsa of the middle right, who is open for both Leenco’s and Galaasa’s position as long as the Oromo people will decide per referendum.

   – Galaasa Dilbo of the far-right, who strives to achieve an independent Oromia disregarding the possible regional union with the neighbouring nations, who are now living within Ethiopia.

   But, in order to accomodate the move of these different Oromo positions regarding our future type of sovereignty (walabummaa) of Oromia, we, Oromo nationalists, have to be able to concentrate on the common denominator of all the positions, i.e on bilisummaa (freedom) of the Oromo people. To comprehend what I do mean, we just need to compare the following interesting three concepts: secession, independence and sovereignty. Let me try to put the difference in short as follows:

   – secession needs the precondition of being legally part of one sovereign nation and being a minority nation at the periphery. Oromia has never been legally part of Ethiopia and it is neither a minority nation nor at periphery unlike Tigrai. So Oromia’s question is not per se a question of secession in this sense. This is the point, which Ob. Amin Jundi recently tried to explain to the Habesha elites.

   – independence is the liberation of an oppressed nation from the other oppressive one, as we do see in the attempt of some Oromo nationals like Ob Galaasaa trying to emancipate the occupied Oromia from the oppressive Abyssinia.

   – sovereignity is the right of the liberated and free nation to decide on the type of arrangement it wants, like the sovereignty of the Oromo nation to decide on its future, be it an independence within or without Ethiopia, per referendum; this seems to be what Oromo nationalists like Ob. Daud try to achieve.

   According to the right of the Oromo nation to its own bilisummaa and walabummaa, it is not wrong even if Ob. Amin or Gen. Kamal strives for the right of Oromo and Oromia WITHIN Ethiopia, as long as the determining factor is the result of the referendum. Thus, it is nice to see that our nationalists are bombarding tyranic Abyssinists from the three parts of our Fighter-Jet: Dr. Nagaaso, Dr. Marara and Ob Bulcha from the left part, Ob Fayyis Oromia and the likes from the central body, as well as Gen. Kamal, Ob. Daud and Ob Galaasaa from the right part.

   This is, of course very scary for the enemy of the Oromo nation. Important is that all the three parts do fight the enmey, but do not attack each other. In the currently ongoing rhetoric, I didn’t hear Ob Amin attacking the other factions of the OLF, but Ob Galaasaa seems not to recognize the move of others except his own faction. I would like to advise Ob Galaasa and his group to refrain from attacking other Oromo nationalists and try to target only the Woyane. Otherwise, it is clear that we do read a lot of Woyane criminal cadres camouflaging as Oromo in order to sow a discord among Oromo nationals by trying to support Ob Galaasaa and attack Ob Amin, as well a vice versa!
