The Struggle is Between two Types of Oromo Elites: Pro-Amharanet Elites (PAE) vs Pro-Oromumma Elites (POE)!

The Oromo already defeated the assimilative Amhara elites during the first phase of our struggle in 1991 and got rid of the hegemonist Tegaru elites through the second phase in 2018. Now, our struggle is in the third and final phase to overcome the obstacle from the Pro-Amharanet elites (PAE) of the Oromo led by Dr. Abiy.  These elites are satisfied with Afaan Oromo as secondary to Amharigna at federal level. They are dedicated to keep the existing Amharanet dominated dictatorial federation. On the contrary, Pro-Oromummaa elites (POE) in the OLF and OFC are pushing further to realize democratic federation in which Afaan Oromo will have its legitimate and right position of being the primary working language of the whole country. That means, it will be the main language of communication in the parlament, cabinet, palace, justice, military, security and other federal institutions.

Otherwise, how surprising to observe that the pro-Amharanet Oromo elites could control Finfinne palace again. This trend is going on since 1270 and we thought that we changed the trajectory in 2018 as Dr. Abiy took the PM position. Unfortunately, Dr. Abiy betrayed Oromummaa and opted to keep the dominance of Amharanet being masked with Ethiopiawinet. Oromo struggle for freedom is again at square one. Now, our struggle is not necessarily against the explicit Abyssinian elites, but against the very subtle pro-Amharanet Oromo elites led by Abiy Ahmed. This phase of our struggle will be the most bitter for it divides the Oromo camp clearly in to two: the incumbent pro-Amharanet vs the opposing pro-Oromummaa! How pity that the true Oromo nationalists lost in the last three revolutions because of the self-beating Oromo elites: 1) 1974 the Oromo head of state Col. Mengistu fought against the OLF (the symbolic face of Oromo’s bilisummaa/freedom). 2) 1991 the Oromo presidant Dr Nagasso was against the OLF and 3) 2018 the Oromo PM Abiy

But you are stucked . One more thing what you need to understand is Oromo is 1/3 of the Ethiopian population, even if you have all the means to influence, you can 't force 3/4 of the population to speak your language if they don't want to . It is not about Amhara and Oromo it is about Ethiopia. Amharic as written language has existed for centuries unlike Oromuoffia which is 25 years and still in stage of being evolved. So Naturally Amharic has more advantage -- so not try to do everything by decree . Take time and give the lingustics time figure out how to make us a mulitlingual nation. '

No question that Derg style Ethiofascist Abyssinian elites, who try to instrumentalize Ethiopian unity and Woyane type Ethnofascists, who attempt to use Ethnic liberty are dead never to come back again. Now the two federalist blocs of Oromian elites (Ethiofederalists like ECS & EPP as well as Ethnofederalists like OFC & OLF) are flourishing on the grave of the two fascist camps. The ongoing and future democratic competition in Ethiopia (Great Oromia) can only be between these two federalist blocs. As long as Oromo’s AAA (Aadaa/culture, Afaan/language and Aango/power) are not compromised, the two types of federations (geography based Ethiofederation and language based Ethnofederation) are not disadvantageous for the Oromo. But, it seems the Ethiofederalist Dr. Abiy is pro-Amharanet and against the promotion of AAA at federal level.
