Hawaaressee goonni tarree galee

The still strong Oromian Students’ movement including the 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. The skilled pilot of the fighter-Jet is, of course, our famous mindset of bilisummaa (of freedom), the OLF. I would like to personify the three parts of the aircraft with the following prominent Oromo nationalists.

1) The left wing:

– Nagaaso Gidaada, 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, who once said “Oromian national autonomy within Ethiopian federation is not bad, but we don’t need to die 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, who wants to have an integrative Oromia in a form of an autonomous Oromian state within Ethiopian federation.

2) The middle body:

– Fayyis Oromia and his likes, who are open for all the positions of the left (integrative Oromia) and the right (independent Oromia), as far as the determiners in this choice are the Oromo public at large per referendum.

3) The right wing:

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

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

– Galaasa Dilbo, 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 in a form of 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, it is clear that we do read nowadays a lot of Woyane criminal cadres camouflaging as Oromo in order to sow a discord among Oromo nationals by trying to support one faction of the OLF and attack the others, as well a vice versa!

I think we should be thankful for Qeerroo. Qeerroo has been amazingly doing fine work. as to these article and thinkers I should say it is good and bad. it is bad because they lack the courage to face each other to reason their philosophy. It is good we have diversity in thinking. I should encourage those thinkers to make at least boil it down to two views if they to make progress

Qeerroo is the future os Oromo people, those our elder intellectuals are doing what they can, whether they divided the single party which is created for the freedom of a single people. So we Qerroo have to appreciate their effort and result, and we have to agree in order to not repeat the bad thing they did (Division). Long live Oromummaa and Oromoo
