የኦሮሞን ሕዝብ ትግል ከመጠራጠር ይልቅ

በኦሮሚያ የተነሳው ሕዝባዊ አመፅ አሁንም ተቀጣጥሎ በቀጠለበት በአሁኑ ሰአት በሌላው የኢትዮዽያ ክፍል ግን አልፎ አልፎ ጎንደር ላይ ከሚሰማው ውጥረት በስተቀር ይህ ነው የሚባል ምንም አይነት የአመፅ እንቅስቃሴ አይታይም። በተለያዩ ሚዲያዎች ወይም ድሕረ ገጾች ሌሎች ክልሎች ሕዝባዊ አመፁን እንደሚቀላቀሉና በኦሮሞ ህዝብ ያለዉ ጥያቄ በሌሎች ክልሎችም እንዳለና አንድ ቀን ሊፈነዳ እንደሚችል ሲነገር ቆይቷል ነገር ግን እስካሁን አመርቂ የሆነ እንቅስቃሴ በሌሎች ክልሎች የተደረገበት ሁኔታ የለም። አንዳንድ ከኦሮሚያ ክልል ውጪ ያሉ ፖለቲከኞች እንደሚሉት ከሆነ ሌላው ክልል አመፁን ያልተቀላቀሉበት ምክንያት በትግሉ ላይ ጥርጣሬ ስላላቸው ፣ ወይም አንድ ፀሀፊ እንዳስቀመጡት በኦሮሚያ እና በአካባቢዋ የተነሳውን ሕዝባዊ አመጽ ሌሎች ክልሎች ያልተቀላቀለበት ምክንያት በኦሮሞ ሕዝባዊ አመጽ ውስጥ የማያምኑት ንጥረ ብሔርተኝነት አለ ወይም ይኖራል ብለው በመፍራታቸው ነው። ስለዚህ ትግሉ Oromo Protest የሚለው Ethiopian Protest በሚለዉ መቀየር ይኖርበታል ይላሉ። ሌላው ደሞ በተለይ ስለ ርዕሰ መዲናዋ ፊንፊኔ ወይም አዲስ አበባ ሲነሳ አምስት ለአንድን መደራጀት እንደትልቅ ምክንያት ይጠቀሳል ነገር ግን ሁለቱም ምክንያት ውሃ የማይቁዋጥሩ ናቸው።

አምስት ለአንድ ከሚለው ከሁለተኛው ምክንያት ልነሳ። አምስት ለአንድ የሚባለው የስለላ መረባቸውን ፋሺስት TPLF በመላው ኢትዮዽያ ሲጠቀሙበት ቆይተዋል። ነገር ግን እንኩዋን የተማረው ያልተማረው ጀግናው የኦሮሞ ገበሬ አፈራርሶ ከጥቅም ውጪ አድርጎታል። ጉዳዩ ምንም የተለየ ሚስጥር የለወም ይህ ከታች ያለውን ምስል እንመልከት። ይች የምታዩዋት ፈረስ በመጀመሪያ ሰሞን ጠንካራና የማይነቃነቅ ግንድ ላይ ነበር ስትታሰር የቆየችው አሁን ግን አንድ ፕላስቲክ ወንበር ላይ ታስራ ሳትንቅሳቅስ እንደ ድሮው ጠንካራና የማይነቃነቀው ግንድ ላይ የታሰረች መስሏት ቆማለች። ይህ የሚያመለክተው የዚህች ፈረስ የታሰረው አእምሮዋ እንጂ አካሏ አይደለም። ስለዚህም የአዲስ አበባ ህዝብ ያልተነሳው የአምስት ለአንዱ አደረጃጀት ጥንካሬ ሳይሆን በውስጡ ባለው አላስፈላጊ የሆነ ጥርጣሬ እና ፍራቻ ነዉ። አምስት ለአንዱን እናፍርስ ከተባለ የሚያስፈልገው ቆራጥነትና ዋጋ መክፈል ብቻ ነው። የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ወያኔዎች ልጆቹን በገደሉበት ወቅት ቀብሮ ዝም ብሎ ወደቤቱ አልተመለሰም ይልቁንም ሞት አያቆመንም በማለት የቀብሩን ስነስረዓት እየቀየረ የተቁዋሞ መድረክ እያደረገው አመጹን ቀጥልዋል። ለውጥ ለማምጣት መስዋት መሆን የግድ ነው ብሎም ያምንል።

አሁን ደግሞ ትግሉ ብሔርተኝነት በውስጡ አለ በሚል ሌሎች ብሔሮች በጥርጣሬ ያዩታል ስለዚህ ትግሉ Oromo Protest የሚለው Ethiopian Protest ወደሚለው መቀየር ይኖርበታል ወደሚለው ልመለስ። በመጀመሪያ ደረጃ የ25 አመቱ ግፍና መከራ አንገሽግሾት አመጹን ያለምንም ማመንታት ውድ ልጆቹን መሰዋእት በማድረግ ከሁለት ወራቶች በላይ እያካሄደ ያለው የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ነው። ስለዚህ Oromo Protest የሚለው የአመፁ መጠሪያ ብዙም የሚያከራክር አይደለም። ሲቅጥል 45 ምሊዮን ከሚሆን ህዝብ አንድ አይነት አመለካከት ብቻ መጠበቅ የለየለት ሞኝነት ይመስለኛል። ስለዚህ የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ እየሞተ ትግሉን በቀጠለበት ወቅት ሌላው ህዝብ የችግሩ ተጠቂ ሆኖ ዝምታን ሲመርጥ ብሄርተኝነት በተቁዋሞ ውስጥ መንፀባረቁ የሚገርም አይሆንም።

ትግሉን ከOromo Protest ወደ Ethiopian Protest መቀየር ከተፈለገ የቀረዉ ሕዝብ እንደ ኦሮሞ ሕዝብ መነሳት በቂ ይናሆል። እዚህ ጋር ሌላው ሕዝብ ለመነሳት የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ትግል አጋር መሆን ወይም መቀላቀል ሳይሆን የሚያስፈልገው የራሳቸውን ችግር ማንሳት ብቻ በራሱ ከበቂ በላይ ነው። የትኛውም ክልል ወይም ብሔረሰብ በወያኔ መራሹ የወንበዴ ጥርቅሞች ላይ ለመነሳት እልፍ አእላፍ የሆኑ ከበቂ በላይ ምክያቶች አሉት። እስቲ ለአብነት ያህል ልክ እንደ ኦሮሚያው ለህዝባዊ እምቢተኝነት የሚያበቁ ምክንያቶችን በስፋት ሕዝባዊ ተቃውሞ ይነሳባቸዋል ተብሎ የሚጠበቁ የተወሰኑ ክልሎች ወስደን እንመልከት። በመጀመሪያ አማራ ክልል ቀጥሎ ደሞ ርዕሠ መዲናዋን ከዚያ ጋምቤላ ወስደን እንመለከታለን።አሁንም ወያኔዎች የሚያደርሱት ልክ የሌለው የ25 አመቱ ግፍና በደል እንዳለ ሆኖ ልክ ከኦሮሚያ ክልል ተነጥቆ ለአዲስ አበባ ሊሰጥ እንደነበረው ወልቃይት በሀይል ወደ ትግራይ አልተካለለም፧ ዋልድባ ገዳም በግፍ ለኢንቨስተሮች አልተሸጠም፧ ከሁሉ የሚብሰው ደሞ ከጎንደር ሰፊ መሬት ተነጥቆ ለባዕድ ሀገር ሱዳን ለመስጠት ወያኔ የካርታ የማንሳት ስራዋን እያጠናቀቀች አይደለምን፧ ካሉት አያሌ ምክንያቶች ለህዝባዊ እንቢተኝነት እነኝህ ከላይ የተጠቀሱት ከበቂ በላይ ናቸው።

አዲስ አበባ ከምርጫ 97 ጋር በተያያዘ በአንድ ቀን ከ 200 የሚበልጡ ዜጎችዋን አጥታ ደም ዕንባ አላነባችም፧ ነጋዴ በግፍ ከገበያ ሲስተም እንዲወጣ አልተደረገም፧ በአረብ ሀገር ግፍና በደል ለደረሰባቸው ወገኖች ሰልፍ የወጡ ዜጎች በአጋዚ ወታደሮች አልተቀጠቀጡም፧ በሊብያ በአሸባሪዎች ለተቀሉት ወገኖች መንግስት እራሱ በጠራው ሰልፍ ላይ የተገኙ ዜጎች በአደባባይ የዱላ ውርጅብኝ አልወረደባቸውም፧ የጋምቤላ ህዝብ ከመሬቱ በኢንቨስትመንት ስም አልተፈናቀለምን፧ የጋምቤላ ክልል ከ400 በላይ ዜጎቹን አጥቶ የፍርድ ያለህ አያለ እየጮኸ አይደለምን፧ ኡጋዴን ሲዳማ እያልን ብንቀጥል ለሕዝባዊ አመፅ የሚያበቁ በርካታ ምክንያቶች አሉ።

Ethiopia gripped by worst drought in 50 years

January 24, 2016 Ethiopia

Families begin their journey home from a food distribution site in Meket Woreda, Ethiopia in December. The US government announced $88 million to help feed hungry people in drought affected areas of Ethiopia, bringing the total number of humanitarian aid provided to the country in 2015 to more than $435 million. The Ethiopian government is appealing for $1.4 billion from the international community and donors to help feed more than 10 million people.

(The New York Post) — ETHIOPIA is in the grip of the worst drought in half a century with three failed rain seasons, crop failures and dying livestock forcing farming families to now eat the seeds they are supposed to plant.

While the world has been firmly focused on the humanitarian crisis in Europe stemming from the Syrian conflict, the African nation has slipped further into its own crisis with donations drying up as fast as their lands.

A team of Australian-based Save The Children frontline aid workers has been urgently dispatched to the country to tackle an “unprecedented” drought, the worst in 50 years, where more than 400,000 children under five are severely malnourished and one tenth of the population can no longer feed themselves.

The aid group has appealed to the United Nations to urgently increase emergency funding to the $1.4 billion drought appeal which is so far only one-third full.

The so-called “biblical” Ethiopian famine of the mid-1980s claimed the lives of one million people but prompted the world into action through the Live Aid concerts.

Speaking via telephone from the country, Australian Save the Children staff told News Corp Australia the Federal Government needed to urgently give $20 million as its “fair share” to the developing crisis.

“The scale of this emergency is enormous, and if the rains don’t come soon the impact will unfortunately get even worse,” said Canberra aid worker Greg Takats who is leading emergency teams now in isolated areas of eastern Ethiopia.

“I have witnessed skeletons of livestock that have perished from the lack of rain and food. Vast areas have turned to dust. We must act now to prevent further suffering. The international community, including Australia that knows well the impact droughts can have on local communities, must step up and urgently increase funding towards Ethiopia’s drought response.

“Australia gave generously to the East Africa food crisis in 2011 by providing more than $140m in funding, however is yet to directly contribute to the current $1.4bn Ethiopia drought appeal. This is Australia’s chance to help the drought affected people of Ethiopia, where more than 10 million people are in need of food aid.”

The Australian group has reported locals eating seeds meant for planting, which would mean they will have nothing to grow next season, while others are selling off dying livestock to make enough money for hand-to-mouth sustenance and nothing to farm in future.

Drought conditions, triggered by El Niño, began in June of last year in remote North Eastern areas of the country, as well as many parts of Somalia and Somaliland, and have spread rapidly to the more populous highlands, leaving an estimated 10.1 million people in need of food aid.

According to the Ethiopian Government, an estimated six million children are now facing critical food shortages, although it is at pains to point out there is no starvation as yet.

The UN’s World Food Programme, the main provider of food aid, said it did not have enough money to provide aid much more beyond June.

“These contributions do not come close to meeting the $481 million which is required,” the WFP said. “Urgent contributions are essential now to be able to sustain the response.”

አማራ ነኝ የሚለው ጎጃሜና ኦሮሞ ነኝ የሚለው ወለጋም ከጎጃሜና አማራ ነኝ ከሚለው የሸዋ ሕዝብ የተሻለ የዘር ትስስር እንደሚኖራቸው ቢታሰብ መሠረተ ቢስ አያሰኝም፡፡ አንድ ሌላ ማስተዋል፤ በኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ፍልሰት በሉት እንቀስቃሴ ጊዜ የኦሮሞው ሕዝብ ወሮ ወደገባባቸው ቦታዎች ሰዎች ነበሩ ይመስለኛል፡፡ እና የኦሮሞው ሕዝብ እነዚሕን ሕዝቦች አዋሃዳቸው (assimilate) ተብሎ ሲነገር በስፋት ይሰማል፡፡ ቢያንስ እነዚህ ሕዝቦች ዛሬ ቋንቋቸው ወደ ኦሮምኛ ተቀይሮ በደማቸው ግን ሌላ ሕዝብ ሆነው እየኖሩ እንዳሉ እንዴት ማሰብ ያዳግታል፡፡ በተለይ ምዕራብ ሸዋ፣ ጥቁር እንጭኒ፣ ወንጪ፣ የተጠቀሰው ግንደ በረት፣ ጋፋት ሌሎችም እስካሁንም በአይን በማየት እንኳን መለየት የሚቻልበት ነው፡፡ ዛሬ ድረስ በዝዋይ ደሴት የሚገኙ የዜይ ሕዝብ ምልክት ሊሆነን ይችላል፡፡ ወንጪ ሀይቅ አካባቢም የሚኖረው ሕዝብ እንዲሁ፡፡ ብዙ ብዙ ሊባል ይቻላል፡፡ ጉዳዩ የተነሳው ከኦሮምኛ ተናጋሪ ሕዝብ ጋር ስለሆነ እንጂ እንዲህ ያለ ውስብሰብነት በአማራ ነኝ ትግሬ ነኝ የሚለውም ተመሳሳይ ነው፡፡ ዛሬ ለምናየው ብሔረተኝነት ቋንቋ እንጂ የደምም ሆነ የባህል አንድነት መሠረት ላለመሆነቸው ለሚያስተውል ግልጽ ይመስለኛል፡፡ የታሪክ ምሁራን ነን የሚሉት ነገሩንም አልነገሩንም፡፡ የመጀመሪያው የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ባሕል (ዛሬም ድረስ በቦረና ያለ ነው) አንድን ሰው ከወደዱት ፍጹም የሆነ ቤተሰባዊ ውህደትን በመስጠት ስሙ በቀጥታ ከዘር (Biological)አባቱ ተለውጦ በወደደው የቦረና አባት ከዚያ በኋላ ባለው የዚሁ አዲሱ የመውደድ አባት ቢባል ይሻላል ዘር ሥም ይጠራል፡፡ በኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ያሉ የሥም ሐረጎች ትክክለኛውን የዘር ግንድ ላይጠቁሙ የሚችሉበትም እንዲህ ያለ አጋጣሚ እንዳለስ ስንቶቻችን እናውቃለን፡፡

አንዳንዶች በተለይም ደግሞ ኦሮሞ ነን የሚሉት ቢጠሉትም ሐበሽ (ድብልቅ) የሚለው የአረብኛ ሥያሜ ያለምክነያት አለተሰጠንም፡፡ ይሄንን ደግሞ ዓለም የሚያነበው መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ሳይቀር ይመሰክራል፡፡ በአሁኑ ዘመን ባሉ የመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ እትሞች “ኢትዮጵያዊ መልኩን ነብር ዥንጉርጉርነቱን” ተብሎ በትንቢተ ኤርምያስ የተጻፈው ጥንታዊያኑ እትሞች የሚሉት” ኢትዮጵያዊ አበባ መልኩን ነብር ዥንጉርጉርነቱን” ነው፡፡ በእርግጥም እንደዛሬው ዘመን ሳይሆን ከጥንትም ጀምሮ የተለያየ (አበባ) መልክ ያላቸው ሕዝቦች የሚኖሩባት አገር ይችው የእኛዋ አገር ነች፡፡  ዝርያን ከሚያሳዩ መስፈርቶች አንዱ የሰውነት አወቃቀር/አካላዊ መለያ ነው፡፡ ቋንቋና ባህል የአካባቢ ተጽዕዎች ናቸው፡፡ ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ ግን በመልክ አንዱን ከአንዱ መለየት አይቻልም፡፡

የኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ታሪክን በተመለከተ ኦሮሞ ነኝ የሚለውም ምሁር ደብተራ የተባሉትም የጻፉትን ጽፈዋል፡፡ ታሪክ በቲፎዞ እውነት ሊሆን ባይችልም ለየራሳቸው ደጋፊዎቻቸው የሚሉትን ይበሉ፡፡ እኔን ግን አሁን አሁን እያሳሰበኝ ያለው በዚህ ሕዝብ ላይ የሚቆመር ቁማር ነው፡፡ በሐይማኖትም የኦሮምኛ ተናጋሪው ሕዝብ ከሌሎች በበለጠ ብዝሀነት አለው፡፡ ዋነኞቹ የክርስትናውና የእስልምናው ብዛት ሕዝባቸው ከዚሁ ኦሮምኛ ከሚናገረው ነው፡፡ እዚሕ ሕዝብ ላይ ያነጣጠሩ ሴራዎች ከውስጥ ፖለቲካዊ ከውጭ ሀይማኖታዊ ይዘት ያላቸው ይመስላል፡፡

Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) Honours the European Union Parliament that it stood up publicly against assaults on Oromo peaceful protesters

January 22, 2016 Oromia

Oromo Liberation Front Press Release

On 21st of January all party Groups of European Parliament debated and passed a resolution on the current political situation in Oromia, Ethiopia. Since mid-November 2015 another round of enormous wave of mass protests that started over respect for the right of Oromo People in general and against the expansion of the capital Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) that triggered more to be demanded on the basic fundamental and democratic rights that have been supressed for the last century and half. Instead of looking for the solution the Tigrean People’s Liberation Front (TPLF/EPRDF) led Ethiopian government declared war on the Oromo people and deployed its terrorizing special force (Agazi), the military and the federal police against peaceful Oromo demonstrators and the public at large. In doing so, it put Oromia under martial law tantamount to declaration of a state of emergency. The deployed forces have wantonly killed more than 180 people and wounded hundreds and detained thousands of Oromo farmers, students, teachers, merchants and government employees, including the medical staff trying to treat the overwhelming numbers of the brutalized mass.

Today Oromo nationals from all walks of life – farmers, students, teachers, business persons, entrepreneurs, government employees, engineers, medical doctors, youths, elderly, men, women, children etc. all over Oromia are indiscriminately subjected to brutal tortures, ill treatments and very harsh prison situations by the TPLF/EPRDF government of Ethiopia. Despite all these, the protest and popular defiance is still on-going demanding the fundamental Oromo right to self-determination to be respected and its occupation force to leave Oromia.

Oromo Liberation Front appreciates that the EU parliamentarian for its resolution condemning the TPLF government’s use of violence by the security forces and the increased number of cases of human rights violations in Ethiopia. It also called for a credible, transparent and independent investigation into the killings. However those voices cannot be encapsulated in a single resolution until it results to a meaningful policy change on aid and diplomacy of European Union and its member states to Ethiopia.

The EU has called on the government to stop the harassment of the people, opposition and civil society organizations, and to carry out a permanent and inclusive dialogue with the opposition to implement democratic provisions in practice. Here we note that there is still a missing voice what the protestors are demanding the regime to hand over the state power to peoples in Ethiopia and for a mechanism that ends century old brutal system. The majority of Ethiopian peoples and the Oromo in particular have been living in fear under a very harsh suppression with little hope of freedom and stable life in the near future. For most peoples in Ethiopia, the country has literally been turned into unofficial and open prison. People from all walks of life, age group and gender have been victimized. Although the victims have been multiple and various, the pretext in all cases has been one and the same – to be suspected of being either a member or a supporter of liberation organisations, opposition political parties and simply for not supporting its policies. Consequently change of the government and working for transitional order that respects the right of peoples and democratic rights is not a choice but indispensable.

OLF calls for EU and its member states with other democratic governments to play important role at the national, regional and international levels, in the promotion and protection of human rights by assisting the demand of the Oromo People and other peoples in Ethiopia for fundamental change.

The OLF also reminds the Oromo to step up their struggle for end to century old oppressive system and also call other peoples too to join the Oromo protest for fundamental change.

Victory to the Oromo People !

Oromo struggle against colonial Ethiopian State and the dilemma of fellow Amhara – strategic uncertainty or wishy-washy?

January 20, 2016 Oromia

By Dhala Oromo

The concept embedded in the article of Mr. Natenael Feleke (http://www.mereja.com/amharic/48078) gave me courage to further ask on the way out of crises of Ethiopian Empire for better common future and to suggest possible option from my perspective. Mr. Natenael summarized the reality of present politics in the Empire and compared it with some similar previous experiences from historical recodes to hint us on the way forward to remain under the umbrella of Ethiopia. In fact, I believe, Mr. Natenale’s short article is underpinning concept which should be enriched by elites from Oromo, Abyssinian and Southern Nations and Nationalities to make the Ethiopia our safe heaven. The failure to do so, for reasons beyond shadow of doubt, will only yield disintegration of the Empire in its former natural components. Needless to mention that a nation do have its own right to decide its destination what so ever favorable or unfavorable the ground may be to move toward its goal. For example, Oromo could dedicate itself to regain independent Oromia subjugated in tier by Abyssinian colonizers. The liberation could take place whatever the present impeding reality might be. The question is probably how to reduce cost of achieving the goal to freedom of leaving in its own native father land. Alternatively, the issue is of how to optimize the gain from bitter struggle without compromising the ultimate goal to exist as an Oromo might come to fore. The question of optimizing the gain from bitter struggle may necessitate the co-struggle of Oromo with Abyssinian (Amhara and including Tigre) and Southern Nation and Nationalities against the current tyranny TPLF government.
However, who is ready to sustain the idea of co-struggle for common better future? Obviously, Oromo heroes such as OLF have had initially documented their clear goal (http://www.oromoliberationfront.org/OLFPolicies.htm) even before four decades. The ultimate goal set by Oromo leadership coupled with ongoing civil Oromo disobedience of tyranny government is promising the achievement of freedom for Oromo and Southern Nation and Nationalities to exist free on their own native country. The model of the struggle of Oromo with southern allies (such as Peoples’ Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (PAFD) representing Benishangul, Gambella, Ogadenia, Oromia and Sidama) predicts TPLF is short lived and colonial hegemony is to end soon.

On the other hand, to the knowledge of this author, clarity of objective is lacking from fellow Amahara and no sound voice is heard from toward Tigre nationals against the TPLF. The author is not certain that the Tigre nationals are not demanding the Republic of Tigrai as contained in long standing and yet active TPLF’s manifesto document. The author’s uncertainty has to do with officially reset boundary of Tigai, the accumulation of wealth at the hands of Tigre elites, the retaliation policy of TPLF on ordinary Amhara citizens to the extent of injecting hormones of reproductive failure which could be interpreted as genocide and the designing of chaos in the central and southern part of Ethiopian Empire by TPLF are few among many in the list.

What confounded the author’s understanding of the ultimate objective of struggle of Amhara nation is lack of clear answers to the following basic two questions.
1. Are Amhara armed and non-violent organizations struggling to regain their predecessors colonial hegemony for the Ethiopian Empire or what do they mean by Ethiopian unity provided they don’t even want to hear Afaan Oromo as one of the possible official language in the Empire? The author hardly gets bizarre answers from fellow Amhara elites on this issue for that they institutively hope united Ethiopian Empire which only speaks Amharic, exercises Amhara culture and religion, etc where Amhara rules the empire to make sure that such interest may not be reversed. If this is not the case, the author is interested to know how Amhara organization under the name Amhara or Ethiopia prefix/suffix want to see Ethiopia remain united in terms of the inborn rights of nations and nationalities of Ethiopia on their own native father land.

2. Are Amhara organizations, civic societies and the people really ready to overthrow TPLF and come up with democratic government in Ethiopia? The author shares part of facts used as a basis of the analysis by Mr. Natinael on this issue. However, this article tries to consider from different angle why Amhara is considered one of the key potential role players in determining the destiny of Ethiopian Empire. From the point of view of upcoming facts and surfacing hidden information, the traditional expression that Amhara nation is the 2nd largest populous seems uncertain. The implication of this being one of the possible causes of the reluctance of some members Amhara nation to immediately ally with intensified Oromo struggle for freedom from TPLF’s rule. The author expects fact based clear answer on this issue from legitimate body.

It is not uncommon to read that Tigre, Amhara and Oromo nations are key and significant players of Ethiopian politics. Such notions emanate from conjecture that the Tigre nation is controlling Ethiopian government power via TPLF and Agazi colonial force, and the latter two are majority nations. Arguments related to Tigre (TPLF) and Oromo nation seems undeniable while presenting Amhara nation as the second largest populous nation is becoming uncertain. This author assumes that significant role of Amhara nation as one of the main players in the Ethiopian politics seem to wrap in their role to establish the Empire by Menellik II (the conqueror line of Judah). The traditional view that considers Amhara nation as the 2nd majority should be judged against the following factors.

1. To which part of Ethiopian Empire is Amhara nation native and what is the number Amhara’s in that part of the Empire? Before some hidden facts were coming up to surface the reality, Gonder, parts of Wello, parts of Shewa (Debre Berhan Awraja) and Gojjam provinces of present Amhara region were considered native Amhara lands and that the people are speaking Amharic as mother tongue. However, there is now self identification of nationalities in that region as members of non-Amhara nations. For instance, people of western part of Gonder are claiming that they are Kemant (excluding the Felasha – Israeli in Diaspora), Wolkait is under dispute to be called Tigre or Amhara, parts of north Gonder and Wello formerly presumed Amhara seem to link themselves as Agaw, southern Gonder bordering lake Tana and northern part of West Gojjam are whispering that they are Weito, western part of East Gojjam has already been established as land of Agew, Shinasha and many others. Which further worsens the matter is that many places in Gojjam (like Yelmana Densa, Mecca, Liban, Jarso etc) are attracting investigation if they really are Amhara’s native land. To hint some of the complains, there was a document addressed to late Meles Zenawi, the then president of TG of Ethiopia and Mr. Gelassa Dilbo, the then chairman of OLF as main stakeholder of TG soon after the fall of Amhara junta. The document asks the then key leaders in Ethiopian politics to recognize them (the kingdom of Gojjam) as non-Amhara state who have had the city named Felegetsion as capital of the State. The application document complained that the people of Gojjam were given bad connotation of evil (buda) by Amhara and hence that they don’t belong to Amhara nation.

2. The consideration of Amharic speaker as Amhara nation needs justification. In many of the past census in Ethiopia, any individual Amharic speaker was encouraged to register as an Amhara for the purpose of the census. I remember the case happen to myself. Despite I am Oromo, born in West Oromia, who was freshman student at AAU, the census officer encouraged me to register as an Amhara tempting me that I would get better option in my career if I do so. The courage of the officer was simply emanated from that fact that my name is in Amharic never minded I speak broken Amharic. That was reality I witnessed. In fact I took the courage was speculative and hence registered as just I am. On the other hand, it is rare event, if any, that any Amhara living in Oromia and speaking Afaan Oromo registers as an Oromo.

3. The default assumption to equate Amhara mixed bloods speaking Amharic as an Amhara needs thorough analysis based on viable data. Many of those individuals who group themselves in forces claiming to stand for Ethiopian unity often try to tell us they have Oromo blood. But, one can institutively guess that none of them had been registered as an Oromo in any of previous census in Ethiopia. Not only in the lasted Amhara hegemony but also under TPLF’s rule, most of such blood mixes are considered member of Amhara nation for the purpose of census probably adding on the doubtful figure of Amhara nation. In fact, political marriage especially between Amhara and Oromo was encouraged by state in Ethiopia which was intended to yield Abyssinian assimilation with Oromo and Southern Nations and Nationalities for the purpose of Ethiopian politics. Certainly, most of such products of mixed marriage are now serving even the TPLF government as they were designed by Amhara rulers. But from the point of view of census, can these individuals be considered Amhara or to the other part of the blood mix? One thing seems promising to solve the dilemma related to this issue. No more political marriage was designed by TPLF hegemony in Oromia and SNNPR. And the past design is also getting purified in to either of its blood component for the last 25 years. This means that, biologically, as the progeny of the mixed blood parent chooses its partner, its descendants are getting purified following the pure blood line of the parent after third filial generation. Hence, no more such blood mixes will be political issue nor mislead on the number of Amhara nation.

Hence, they idea of presenting Amhara nation as a second largest population in Ethiopia as an evidence to show its significance in the Empire’s political game must be supported by realistic census data and carefully examined.

Regardless of our perception on the aforementioned issues, Mr. Natinael’s short article urges us to explore ways of co-existence in hospitable Ethiopia for all nations and nationalities by getting rid of TPLF rule. Toward this, Oromo intensified its struggle against colonial power to regain its independent country Oromia. The train of Oromo struggle is loading many citizens pro-independence struggle or unloading the unsuitable ones. It is becoming vivid that freedom lover sons of Southern Nation and Nationalities are unshaken allies with heroes of Oromo and is jointly marching toward their goal. However, the author feels it is hardly possible to neglect the potential impact of Amhara nation on this march not necessarily because of their presumed majority but certainly for diplomatic and bureaucratic role built by virtue of their previous hegemony. Consequently, the current reality dictates the Amhara nation to be either on the side of freedom lovers for common future benefit or attempt to keep TPLF government on power what so ever oppression the nation receives under TPLF rule.

In fact such choice is neither an easy to guess nor consistent as both sides (Oromo and allies Vs TPLF) hope to attract this nation to itself. The decision remains at the hand of Amhara nation. Critically, it worth raising cause and effect of the two possible interests of Amhara elites rooted in native Amhara region and those brought up in Oromia and SNNPR. Practical evidences in Oromia and Finfinnee show that the latter categories of Amhara elite are accumulated in these parts of the Empire and that they are the best cliques of TPLF rule. Because, this category of Amhara elite think that they are beneficiaries of residual wealth of booty looted wealth of TPLF and that their parents can be deported from Oromia and SNNPR if not for TPLF’s existence in power. The second category of Amhara elites (along with Amhara nation per se) are those either dwelling in native Amhara region or rooted there but now might be anywhere in the world possibly choose to bring the issue of their family’s future in to fore and assert the importance common struggle to overthrow the TPLF government. The likely reason for this is that their families are the ones suffering at the heavy-handed rule of TPLF. Moreover, in the worst scenario of secession, they could think better to remain good neighbors than leading the situation to hostility forever. Listing some of the famous elites in both categories is beyond the scope of this short note. However, it is good to leave you this thoughtful joke related to the issue based on the deportation of Eritreans by TPLF. Eritreans were asked to leave from SNNPR during the regional presidency of Abate K. Mr. Abate gave instruction to his rank and file officers to clear Tigre speaking individuals from his state. Once the deported individuals were at AA, the late Meles Z. new some of them were Tigre and asked Abate why he sent Tigres out of SNNPR. Abate replied to Meles saying “you sort them”.

Therefore, it the intention of this author to tell fellow Amharas that no Oromo is evil enough not to differentiate false friends (rather true enemies) and strategic collaborators, the basis of which our common fate will rest on. The implication of my thought being that you critically think to clear wishy-washy approach or uncertainty in the goal to be pursued a consequence of which haze on your decision with whom you will ally. Needless to tell you that the shivering governance of TPLF only waiting just for oral warning that they should resign power once we make sure you collaborate with freedom lovers. Setting the structure of government which will host every nation and citizen in the future common Ethiopia is not a big deal once trust will be build and every nation clears the dirty TPLF from its own native father land.
