Suggestion of Dr. Leenco Lataa: Foster New Democratic Party to Compete Against Dr. Abiy’s Prosperity Party!

I once heard Dr. Leenco’s interview by Bethy, where he suggested formation of a new Oromo party replacing the OLF. According to him, the OLF has finished its mission and the Oromo need new party of new generation, which is fit to face the new challenge with new approach. It is not bad idea. If really the OLF is too old to adapt itself to fix the current Oromo problem, then modern organization with modern program and winning Oromo’s heart as the OLF did up to now is really mandatory. I think, we need not only new Oromo party, but new Ethiopian party led by genuine Oromo Republicans to compete against the ruling Prosperity party. It seems that Oromo Prosperitans are consolidating their power by using the inclusive Ethiopian prosperity party. The OLF and OFC should think to foster such inclusive Ethiopian party to compete against the Prosperitans. For this purpose, they need partners from all regions to form a big Ethiopian Democratic party against the existing big Ethiopian Prosperity party. Then, we will have only two big parties to compete for power as it is in the USA. The only thing Oromo elites should check is that both Abseha elites (Amhara assimilationists and Tegaru hegemonists) never get a comeback chance.

Ethiopia (Great Oromia) is again at cross road. There are five scenario to be seen as possible fates of this instabile country:

– unitary amharanized Ethiopia as wished by Ezema of Dr. Berihanu and the likes.

– Amharigna dominated dictatorial federation as entertained by EPP of Dr. Abiy.

– independent republic of nations as initially strived by the OLF of Ob. Galaasa.

– Oromiffaa led democratic federation as planned by Ob. Leencoo.

– united and voluntarily Oromonized Ethiopia as a result of natural influence from nation of demographic majority in a democratic process as previously envisioned by Dr. Haile Fida of Meison and now entertained by individuals like Fayyis Oromia.

OPFist,

• Leenco is speaking from his death bed. His life time were also largely not productive (spying and killing our heroes) for the Oromo nation. Hear not him. Roobnii darbuuf jiru bakkakaan nama dhaya, namni du'uuf jiru abarsaan nama ga'a kan jedhamu kan akka Leencoo L ti.

• OLF is the most senior ever lasting hero Organization for nation of Oromo.

From these five senario, the first is obsolete and already dead; the second is temporary and will die soon. Then, the Oromo and other nations will have a possibility to choose democratically from the last three options; democratic independence of of Ob. Galaasa Dilbo, democratic federalism of Dr. Leenco Lataa and democratic integration of Dr. Halle Fida.

OPFist,
Is it tongue slide or deliberate? By "will die soon", are insulting Leenco? kkk
Anyways, do you have whereabouts of Galasaa and Haile Fida?

No question that all Oromo nationals are struggling for freedom from the hitherto system of domination. The name OLF stands for this freedom/bilisumma. This name is no more specific for one organization, it is already a mind set of all Oromo nationalists who flight for freedom. Thanks to all who sacrifised their life parially or totally to this liberation struggle, we are almost free from Abyssinian system of domination, but still oppressed by the Neo-naftagna of Abiy Ahmed. Our mind set – OLF – is now promoting three different types of post-freedom sovereignty:

1. Ethiopian Integration, by democratic Oromos being active in parties like ECS of Dr. Berihanu und EPP of Dr. Abiy. This form of the OLF is Ethiopianist.

2. Federal Union of nations and nationalities being organized as ODF of Ob. Leenco and OFC of Dr. Marara. These are true Federalists.

3. Oromian Independence being firm in the form of explicit OLF of Ob. Daud and that of Ob. Galaasa. Such body of our mindset is purely Oromianist.

[OPFist]

The difference among us is on the issue: what type of Oromian state we want to forge after freedom. There are three approachs in the Oromo community:

– the pro-federation Oromo like Ob Leencoo Lataa prefer the British model, where Afaan Oromo being federal language in a long run equates Oromoland with England and Finfinne with London, so that the future federal union will be one version of de facto Great Oromia.

– the pro-unity Oromo like Ob Andargachew Tsige entertain the French style. As long as this group accepts freedom from the system, Afaan Oromo as federal language and Gadaa democracy as rule of the game in the future free union, surely it is also promoting another version of de facto Great Oromia in which Afaan Oromo will overtake Amharinya in due time.

– pro-independence Oromo like Ob Galaasa Dilbo opt for the German type nation state of the Oromo, which is equivalent to the German’s. In such free Gadaa Oromia, there will only be Harari as minor nationality, just as the Sorben is the only minor nationality in Germany. Other nations living in such exclusive Oromia are national minorites, whose origin is out of the nation state.

OPFist,
you seem inconsistent with your opinion (not to be confused with tactic) and hence not trustworthy! To blow in a direction of a wind is what lead PP and ODP to immediate rejection by Oromo nation and their consequent failure. Also, in view of for comprehensive analysis of your tendency, you may fall in the set of Oromo insurgents.

[OPFist]

Fact on the ground is that as long as the future of the nation is moving in a direction of freedom, Afaan Oromo will be used as federal language and there shall be democracy, justice, rule of law and economical development, the END will either be an independent Gadaa Oromia of German type or the two versions of Great Oromia (the French style integrated Great Oromia and the British model federal Union Oromia). That is why the Oromo can and should cooperate with all forces to achieve our freedom from the existing system of domination, be it which ever of the three outcomes will be realized in the future! The three post-freedom sovereignty are not disadvantageous for the Oromo as long as AAA (Aadaa/culture, Afaan/language & Aangoo/power) of the Oromo are not compromised! Thus, let’s watch Ezema of Dr. Berihanu, fight against EPP of Dr. Abiy and be open for the democratic goals (Kayyoo) of Ob. Galaasa Dilbo, Dr. Haile Fida and Ob. Leencoo Lata. Last but not least, fostering a smart, modern and strong Oromo party to fix the current challenge and to give future Leadership as suggested by Ob. Leenco is not bad, as long as that party is pro-Oromumma unlike the pro-Amharanet EPP of Dr. Abiy. It doesn’t matter if the Oromumma led Ethiopia, i.e de facto Great Oromia will be Ethio-federation or Ethno-federation. The Oromo should be in a leadership position in both future inclusive Democratic Party suggested by Dr. Leenco and Prosperity party already formed by Dr. Abiy. May Waaqa help the Oromo and Oromia!
