Of course, the OLF is evolving from its politics of low confidence (past goal of independent Oromia) to politics of intermediate confidencce (present aim of federal Union) and politics of high confidence (future vision of integrated Ethiopia). Nither of the two goals, i.e Ethiofederalism (geography based) including Integration prefered by Abiy and Ethnofederalism (language based) including Independencle opted by Lamma and Jawar is disadvantageous for the Oromo.
