Ilmaan Oromoo durumaa calqabdeeti wal beelessaa turte. Badhaadhina uuman kenneef diinaf dabarsitee kenniti. Beelli biyya sanaa beela wallaalummaa, beela dadhabummaa, beela gowwummaa malee, otoo lafa qaljii, lafa waan hundaa magarsu, lagoota gugurdaa bishaan heddu qabu otoo qabaatanuu beelawuun farra guddaadha. Araboota heddutu lafa bitatee jallisaan waan baay’ee oomishee guyyaa guyyaan biyya biyya isaanitti ergata. Biyyoonni biraa adaala keessa taa’aniiti of danda’anii waan oomishan biyya biraatti dabarsanii ergatanii galii gaarii argatu. (Fakk. Masiriin (Egypt) bishaanuma lagdi Abbayaa lafa keenyarraa yaa’utti fayyadamti.)
Beela Oromoos “Green hunger” jedhanii kan waamanis kanumaafi. Namni heddu, warri siyaasaa oofanii maqaa saba Oromootin daldalan, “Warra diinatu biyya beelesse. Qabeenya isaa saammate.” jedha. Ofii isaanitii garuu tokko ta’anii, ‘uummata Oromoo lolchiisanii bilisoomsanii rakkoo jiru jalaa baasuu dhiisaniiti,biyyoota gugurdatan keessa bashannanaa jiraatu. Kana waan tayeefuu, beelas tayee rakkina addaddaa kan ilmaan Oromoorra gawuuf Tigreefi Amaara qofa otoo hin taane, warri akka ilmaan Oromoo tokko hin taane burjaajessaa jiran Leencoo Lataa, Daawud Ibisaa, Kamaal Galchuu faa itti gaafatama fudhachuutu irra jira.
Nama fuundurattis tayee seenaa fuunduratti, akkuma ‘OPDO’-tti guyyaa isaan itti gaafatamantu dhufa.
The above pictures shows the economic achievements of TPLF endorsed by the West to keep on looking people dying. Whereby the income of every single quarter of a year from Gold mines alone is more than USD 375 million ,
The TPLF want to keep the people in poverty to control them to drive them out of the country so their land would be sold or resettled TPLF members from Tigray.
The 375 million quoted above is only from South Gold mines in Oromia owned by Shek alamudine of Saudi.so it does not include other mines in western Oromia and Gambella regions of Nilotics.
Baay’isee gaarii dha. gara fuulduraattis gocha suukkaneessaa mootummoonni habashaa nurraan gaa’an ragaa suuraalee wajjin akka kanatti dhiheessuun itti haafufamu.
for poverty happening in Oromia i blame the f**king so called Oromo politicians who just sit in the parliament n watch while ppl have been chased from their own wealth to poverty.
This is really really annoying and shameful.
I think its probably time for Oromo ppl to give up their Oromuma cause it seems their Leaders don’t care !
Famine and severe poverty in Ethiopia have always been in politically marginalized and discriminated regions. Dergue marginalized the Tigray and Northern Wollo regions,which became the best examples for famines and extreme poverty in Ethiopia during the Dergue regime.
The TPLF regime politically marginalized and discriminated against Oromos and Ogadenis, which have become the most impoverisheed and famine ravaged areas under the TPLF rule. It’s politics-induced poverty and famine, people!
Turkana,
I understand and genuinly share your frustration.
I am NOT a politician but parliamentarian groups in the parliament are as strong and or as weak as their constituent mass base supporting and pressuring them.
In the case of the oromo parliamentarians they have never had any real power to do anything substantive under the yoke of the chest pumping tyrant Meles’s tplf arty who owned all of the Tigrian military chiefs, economic sectors, foreign relations, etc. Now the tyrant is DEAD but still hedonist minority tyrants are conspiring to steal power completely from the Oromo majority and through that deepen oromo sufferances in to the next century.
NOW Oromos both in the parliament and outside the parliament MUST act and act in total unity inorder to take the leadership they surely deserve and through that influence national issues in a positive and people based direction. Anger and division needs to be replaced with rational national thinking that goes above any given boundaries and taking a positive step whether these steps are one, two three or more. Action and networking is the essence!
