Those of you who hate Irrecha for what ever reason, hold back: you are declared losers!

Irrecha as a cultural show and traditional celebration of societal values is declared an asset of the Mosaic, not a private property or identity of a single entity of the Mosaic.

The Ethiopian people came together and declared it our common asset and Value, we are one, we will keep it, protect it, promote it and pass it to the next generation, in Unison.

Oromo extrimists now your one only choice: go cry "we are colonized, we are enslaved, they took our culture and promoted it, let's cry".

Enjoy Ali Birra's timeless songs of Abba Gadaa:

Utule Uleen Chabe, kan Abba Gadaa hin Chabu, ... beeka irra kutne malee, Seenaan iyyeessa hin qabu.


Karan Mana Abba Gadaa eessa, dhaqeen Galma isaa jajjabeessa, ta'een Seena isaa babareessa.

Yes, it is to be declared Ethiopian under the ascendance of Ethiopia to its true glory of the Mosaic and as such if you carry a flag, for whatever reason, then you shouldn't forget to wave the current flag of the Mosaic as well along side.

You can't claim it belongs to the nations and nationalies of Ethiopia and turn around wave a sectarian flag, including the Oromian Reginal State's flag itself.

OLF collect back your so called flag and other partisan symbols from the sacred scene of the Oromo People's Irrecha, if you don't, then you will regret your acts one day.

Separate politics from people's religious celebration!

Facts

1 - Irrecha belongs only to the tulamma oromo of Shewa. The rest of oromos in harar, arsi, wollega, bale and jimma know nothing about it till recently.

2 - Irrecha is originally celebrated by the Maya people of the western Shewa. When the tullema reached there in the 16th century, they simply adopt it.

Well, we can upgrade it from a Tulamaa culture and make it pan-Oromo first and then in the second step make it an Ethiopian, not just Oromo's. What is wrong with that?

It is possible that it was originally celebrated by some people somewhere in the world, and then adopted by some others else where. Why should that be a problem? Did it cause any damage to anyone as such, except perhaps to the Pheentees of West-Wollega?

Did Pheenxee start to be observed in West-Wollega or was it adopted too? In case it was adopted, then how much were you concerned about that?

Dejene Gutama, OMN journalist, was told by the guy from Sidama Zone in the above video to keep issues separated. He said, let's keep politics for another occasion and talk about just Irrecha on this occasion. Hope this journalist drew some lesson, if he is not someone who can never learn something in his life.

This year's Irrecha is a political event. Fake stories are manicured about hora finfine. Irrecha is traditionally celebrated in hora debrezeit and I myself attended twice during the Derg era 1975 and 1978. It was just a cultural and religious ceremony then.

Folks like Jawar and shimeles brought it to Addis to invoke the usual Neftegna rehotoric and people's response to that is obviously being seen.

Oromo has been given a blank check to rule since most people considered them better alternative than tigres and amhara, but it looks like they are incapable of doing even the basics. Every thing they do is provocation and attempt to stirr massive blood bath between people.

You can't impose your religion on the whole country. There are christians, muslims etc which can't participate in this practice. It's not going to be easy to conduct mogassa on a village let alone the whole nation!

You changed your earlier topic here and brought in a different issue. That being the case, what about if a blend of all the cultures that are home-grown like Irrecha and perhaps others in the country put together to create a new Ethiopian cultural festival developed to characterize the people of Ethiopia as a whole?

On this issue at least those who are administering the affairs of the country are not overstepping any of their responsibility, rather trying to create an opportunity that can bring people together and build a bridge between themselves, in my view. What is the problem with that?

Of course they have to do their own learning by doing exercise, no one will be perfect over a day, it needs more exercieses.

If you have some issues against the intent itself, then say it here and get heard instead of jumping from topic to topic.
