I hope our youth will discuss on the current issues of the Oromo liberation movment, especially on the recent conflict among the Oromo nationalists! To help the Oromo liberation movement be a success, still an imperative Tokkummaa among the Oromo freedom fighters and an important Tumsa with the other democratic forces are desperately needed, so that we can get rid of the fascist and racist regime in Finfinnee palace. Unfortunately, the only one who benefits from the current G7 vs OLF conflict is the Gujile now tormenting us. Especially we, the Oromo nationalists, have to stop our present sensless fighiting against each other and start to target the enemy (the Gujile) in unison.
We also know that the Oromo liberation movement is already described as a Fighter-Jet shooting at enemy from its three parts: http://gadaa.com/oduu/11583/2011/11/12/oromia-ethiopia-the-oromo-liberation-movement-is-like-a-fighter-jet-shooting-from-its-three-parts/ . It is also a fact that the mission statement of the OLF says: “…The fundamental objective of the Oromo liberation movement is to exercise the Oromo peoples’ inalienable right to national self-determination to terminate a century of oppression and exploitation, and to form, where possible, a political union with other nations on the basis of equality, respect for mutual interests and the principle of voluntary associations…”
This mission statement implies that the future result of the Oromo self-determination can be a UNION if possible, or an INDEPENDENCE if the wished uinion can not be realized. Now it seems that both Daud’s faction and Kamal’s group did give up their hitherto double purpose and they explicitly chose one of the respective possible end-goals (either independence or integration). This new shift of position shows us that Kaayyoo-Oromoo is self-determination through REFERENDUM on independence VS integration (union); the only difference between Daud’s faction and Kamal’s group is thus based on what they will do during the future Oromo public verdict; Daud will advise the Oromo people to vote for an independence (according to Dr. Bayan Asooba), while Kamal will advise to vote for an integration (according to Dr. Nuro Daddafo).
According to these assertions, we do observe that both factions did leave their inclusive double positions, which they used to entertain up to now and started to take a respective single position as described below: Daud took the RF(Russian Federaion)-Model, which is the back-bone of the Oromo liberation movement, while Kamal moved to the left arm of the Oromo liberation movement accepting the UK(United Kingdom)-Model and at the same time seeking an alliance with those in the right arm of the movement, who are promoting the US(United States)-Model like what the G7 is doing.
Thus, the three types of walabummaa/sovereignty usually envisioned by the Oromo nationalists can better be named as the UK-type on the left side of the Oromo political spectrum, the RF-type in the middle and the US-type on the right side. The Oromo national liberation movement having one common cause of bilisummaa/freedom, can also persue these three different types of walabummaa, the different visions, which are the sourses of the still existing pseudo-conflict between the Oromo nationalists.
Ideally, all the Oromo freedom fighters can struggle by cooperating and coordinating our resources for our common agenda, i.e for bilisummaa Oromo and then allow the Oromo public to decide on the type of walabummaa Oromia we want to have (the UK-type ‘Union of Independent Nations’ with Afaan Oromo as the working language or mediating language of the union or the RF-type ‘Independent Republic of Oromia’ or the US-type ‘Union of Integrated Nations’ with Afaan Oromo as one of the working languages or melting languages of the union). Actually, the current conflict between the two OLF factions has nothing to do with the ideology regarding bilisummaa Oromo. They also need not have a discord now because of their respective position regarding the type of walabummaa they want to realize. We can have one of the three types of Walabummaa in the future, based on the Oromo public verdict.
Now, it seems that the left arm of the Oromo liberation movemnt is represented by the OFDM, OLF-K (Kamal’s faction), ONC, OPC and OPDO; the back bone or the middle body of the movemnt being the OLF-A (Amaano’s faction), OLF-D (Daud’s), OLF-I (Ibrahim’s), OLF-Dh (Dhugaasa’s) and ULFO; as well as the right arm is excercised by the position of the Anti-Gujile Oromo nationalists in the AEUP, EPPF, EPRP, G7 and UDJ. Interesting is that none of the results of these three positions is not beneficial for the Oromo people, as long as the future rule of the political game in the region called Ethiopia will be freedom, Afaan Oromo and democracy.
That is why, I do see that neither the move of Kamal’s group from the double position to the left arm nor the shift of Daud’s faction also from the double position to only the middle position of the back-bone is a betrayal of the OLF mission as currently told. Actually the recent shift to respectively a clear one position of the two factions made the Oromo liberation movement to be the discussion topic of all the concerned stakeholders in the Horn region. The Oromo liberation movement seems to be more smart, offensive and dynamic. We have to look at the positive aspect of the current move, instead of simply accusing each other. Still the three parts of the Fighter-Jet can cooperate with each other and work together against the tormenting Gujile now ruling in Finfinne palace.
What matters most is not the position of the OLF factions’ gut, but more the direction of their verbal gun. As I can see, their position, be it independent Oromia or integrated Oromia, is not different from the position of the other genuine Oromo nationalists using differnt strategy, even though they all always implicitly or explicitly do advocate the CORE-Kaayyoo of Oromo liberation movement being an independent Oromia. But the foes of the Oromo liberation movment, who are now trying to pour benzin on the pseudo-conflict, do differ from the genuine Oromo nationalists in the ‘direction of their gun’; they do direct their gun (verbal bullet) on Oromo nationalists, who do have different approachs to achieve both bilisummaa Oromo and walabummaa Oromia, whereas the genuine Oromo nationalists consequently and consiously try to direct their gun ONLY unto the current tormenting enemy, i.e unto the Gujile now ruling in Finfinne palace.
Our foes do shoot continously the Oromo nationalists, who do have different approach, whereas genuine Oromo nationalists try to tolerate all Oromo political groups having different tactics and strategies to come to the same Kaayyoo-Oromo. So, let’s all Oromo nationalists check the direction of our gun; we do have no problem with the different positions of our gut; we can love independent Oromia or integrative Oromia as some of us do claim, but just let’s wake up and see how many Oromo nationalists we do sometimes mistakenily kill with our verbal bullet. May Waaqa/Rabbi help us!!

“… As far as I am concerned, there is a way out of this present situation, which is unfortunately in favour of the ruling regime at the cost of all the oppressed nations in the empire, including the oppressed Amhara people. The G7 can correct its betrayal, by re-emphasizing that it is not against an independent Oromia, if the Oromo public will vote for it, even though G7 itself will advise the public to favour a union (integration). For G-7, being against Oromo interest is equivalent to be on the verge of its own burial; no political group in that empire can survive having the Oromo as an enemy. It can prevent its burial only by accepting and respecting the God-given and Man-made right of the Oromo nation to self-determination. Here, the pro-independence Oromo nationalists also need to differentiate G7 from G-7 and approach or manage both of them accordingly. G7 is our own, which can have different approach or can come back, if it starts to notice that its move is against the interest of the Oromo nation. Thus, we need to refrain from cursing, insulting and villifying this group of ours, which can again in the future be part of our struggle for an independent Oromia. G-7 is the moderate part of our colonizers, with whom we can reason to some extent; but if it is such a cunning fox and manipulative as it seems to be now, surely it can be declared as part and parcel of our enemy like the Woyane is and nothing can hinder us, the Oromo nation, from fighting against such colonial force. It is up to the G-7 to take a clear step not to be against the liberation struggle of the Oromo people; otherwise the step taken by G7 in Kelly Inn can be the cause for the burial of G-7, which will have no more influence on the Oromo constituency, which it highly tried to win for its own cause…. ” http://oromiatimes.multiply.com/journal/item/2265/OromiaEthiopia_Was_it_G7_Betrayal_or_G-7_Burial_in_Kelly_Inn_Fayyis_Oromia
For people like oromumma:
Do not act as if you are an oromo. You pretend to be an oromo. But your comment has some power to weaken the unity among oromos. We donot need tumsa from Amharas. Do you expect to get honey from fly. Any kind of agreement to work with Amhara forces ends in favor of them. This is what history has shown us. If tumsa is needed why not we work with people like sidams, Afaris, Somalis, Anuaks, etc.
