History of Oromo people

The Oromo are a native African ethnic group found in Ethiopia and to a smaller extent in Kenya. They are the largest single ethnic group in Ethiopia, at 32.1% of the population according to the 1994 census, and today numbering around 40 million.

The Oromo are one of the Cushitic speaking people living in Eastern and North Eastern Africa. Cushitic speakers have occupied parts of north-eastern and eastern Africa for as long as recorded history.

Oromo people are found mainly in Ethiopia (99%), but are spread from as far as:

• Northern Ethiopia (southern Tigray Region)
• Kenya (mainly northern) 
• Even as far south as Lamu Island

The Oromo characterize one of largest of the Cushitic groups occupying the Horn of Africa. Their physical features, culture, language and other confirm clearly the fact that they are native to this part of Africa.

Existing information indicates that the Oromo lived as a community of people for thousands of years in East Africa (Prouty at al, 1981).

Bates (1979) asserts, “The Gallas (Oromo) were a very ancient race, the indigenous stock, possibly, on which most other peoples in this part of eastern Africa have been grafted”.

It is possible that they have existed for a longer period of time side by side with their northern Semitic-speaking neighbors.

During the 16th century, following the wars between the kingdom of Ethiopia and the neighboring Sultanate of Adal, which resulted in the exhaustion of both states, Oromos moved north into their territories.

The Ethiopian monk Bahrey, writing in 1593, credited the Oromo achievement to the existence of too many non-fighting classes in the ruling Ethiopian hierarchy, as opposed to the Oromos, whom he illustrated as having a homogeneous warrior class.

He also affirmed their spread (as result of their inhospitable homeland) into northwestern areas such as:

• Arsi
• Shewa
• Welega
• Gojjam 
• Hararghe
• Wollo

Harold G. Marcus hints northwest Borena as the original homeland of the Oromo. Settled Oromo began to integrate with their Amharic-speaking neighbors at least from the 17th century on.

Several Oromo chieftains gained power in government of the monarchy. Particularly Emperor Iyoas I (1730-55), who was half Oromo, favored his mother’s Oromo kinsmen and allies, and in his era, the Oromo language was the language of the court in Gondar.

By the late 18th century, the influence of the central government of Ethiopia had declined, and local governors and kings enjoyed greater autonomy.

During the era of Zemene Mesafint (which lasted until 1855), the Oromo dynasty of chiefs of Yejju were the most important uninterrupted line of warlords to dominate the figurehead emperors of Ethiopia.

They turn out to be sub-kings of Begemder, Regents of the empire, as well as imperial father-in-laws. Ras Ali I of Yejju attained this dominance in 1779, and it continued, although contested by other warlords, until the 1855 defeat of Ras Ali II of Yejju by the upstart Kassa Hailu (who became Emperor Tewodros II).

Due to the powerlessness of the Emperor of Ethiopia during the Zemene Mesafint, the Yejju Oromo were successfully the rulers of Ethiopia. Other tribes and chiefs of the Oromo people were also famous, such as:

• Lady Menen of Wollo who became Empress in 1800s
• Ras Mohammad of Wollo who became Ras Mikael, later Negus of Siyon and father of Emperor Iyasu V
• Menen, of Ambassel, who became Empress Consort of Haile Selassie

Feel free to forward your comment on the history of this prominent tribe in Ethiopia.

    That was a very intersting article however I was wondering if the person who wrote this article would be willing to write one on the Trible life of a Woman in the Ormoro tribe. Its for my magazine El Aisha, which is all about Woman, and is a free magazine in Egypt.

  • 7 Debisa // Feb 12, 2009 at 8:27 pm

    Oromo is the largest and more politically dominant, initially had Gada system(8-year transfering democracy structure) tribe.emperior Hailesilasse was Oromo, even his wife was wollo Oromo.Gonder had once under Oromo’s Control(During Susinyos). Oromo once could defeat Semen tribes and easily extend to Wollo and Raya(South Tigray).Minilik’s wife was Oromo.Kenenissa Bekele, Trunesh Dibaba eve H/Gebresilasse are Oromos.Tilahun Gessese(Well Known artist), the first inventor of Amharic type writer and General Taddesse Birru(Friend and Trainer of Nilson Mandela) were Oromos. Decendants of first civilized Kushitc communities along Nile(Nubia-Egypt) are these Oromos.Still highly interfering tribe in the politics of Ethiopia are these Oromos,etc .So,shame on you for those hating Oromo.History is winner not your ugly backward perception.

  • 8 Ahmed Dedo // Feb 19, 2009 at 7:41 am

    Generally,it is appreciated.However,please do not use a word(if it can be called a word) which has no meaning at all and a kind of insult produced as one of the earliest meanses of psychological warfare used by a group of people from a different tribe on the Oromo people.Mind you that nobody wants to hear that again.

  • 9 fatiya // Mar 7, 2009 at 6:22 am

  • 10 Kedir Bullo // Mar 11, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    When I saw the title of the article,I expected something intellectual and reason-involving.What I found after reading this article is that the author is badly ignorant of the ABC’s of the history of the Great Galla people.
    Sir,there was no relation of whatsoever between the Galla and the Oroma befrore the latter’s migration to al-Habasha in the 16th century.The Galla are one of the origional peoples of al-Habesha.The Orma are a negroid Bantu people who migrated to our homeland and adopted our culture and language.So the Ormas(Oromos) are Gallanized Bantus!We are proud to be Gallas!We are not originally Oromos!Period.
    Proudly Galla!

  • 11 Tawfiq Abaagaro // Mar 14, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Thanks brother Kedir for breaking the age-old silence on the pseudo-Oromo thesis about the history of the Great Galla people!Galla means “free”,Galla is freedom,to be a Galla is to be free!
    Unfortunately,the history of the Great Galla people has been distorted by ignorant and arrogant Amhara “debteras” like Aleqas Atsme Giorgis and Taye G/Mariam,as wellas born-again Oromo intellectual prostitutes-Muhammed Haasen,Assefa Jalaata,Melba Gadaa,Guluuma Gammada…
    We the true sons and daughters of the Great Galla Nation do have a grave moral responsibility to defend and promote our Galla history by countering the forged history being dissiminated by the forged “Oromo” professor wanabes-the Hassans,the Jalaatas and the Guluuma pieces of shit!

    I want to give a comment to the given comments. It is amazing to see some trash, un explainable, unhistorical and personal-intrerest-oriented comments of the last two writers. Thank you for your wishes,but make no attemt of spoiling the history of the Oromo people. Hands off from our scholars, okay!

  • 13 BORU BOBA ABDALLA // Mar 29, 2009 at 10:08 am

    The ormas are once the oromo people (galla) before migrating to their present home, tana river. we are indeed proud to be once in the great galla nation. The orma people as well supports the OLF and hence oromia shall be one day. walqarqarre, waljalanne,bilisumat borbannu.

  • 14 Burqaa // Mar 30, 2009 at 2:08 pm

    Great Oromos are every where.There are Oromos in Tigray,Amara region,south region,Oromia,Kenya,Tanzania,Mozambik.Sudan,Somalia,America-Minnesota.If we have unity,we can create a great Oromia state from Minnesota via Sebeta to Alemata in Tigray.

  • 15 Kesheda // Mar 31, 2009 at 12:15 pm

    Dear writers,
    Shall I start my comment by a saying which reads like “Time is great healer” because all these view on what is the word Oromo? where it is from? and other umbigious notions are psychological weapons and fictions given as assingment to the Oromos, who are dynamic, powerful, and role model of democracy for the whole world. Those who are doing this are undoubtedly the evil minded and chauvinists of the ex-powerful people who used their political power to denounce every aspect of life of the Oromos.
    Lastly, I do not worry whatever you call these people. It is actually up to you to call it the way you feel but do not be blinded with the blinds, do not be narrow minded like the former Amhars. And also remember that we can not turn our clock back and hence “let bygones be bygones”. In my eyes, there will be no room to the old motto of one nation, one culture, one flag, and so on.
    Act locally ; think globally is last word. bye

    Hey guys. I am somali and would like to know how your relationship with somali’s are. Do you see us as brothers? or “just some people”, who live in the horn of Africa ” as you do.

  • 17 Farah Ararso // Apr 17, 2009 at 5:08 pm

    Yes,we the Gallas share many things in common with our Cushitic Somali brothers but not with the migrant negroid Oromos!

  • 18 Zeta Salomon // Apr 17, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    which oromo tribe are negro?

  • 19 Salamon Zeta // Apr 18, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    The Gibbe and Wallaga Oromos are negroid Bantus who migrated to Bilad al-Galla(”The Land of Gallas) some 500 years back.

  • 20 Zeta Salomon // Apr 18, 2009 at 6:37 pm

    They are not oromo, just because they are moved to ( “the land of Gallas). I mean just because some white euro people move to (the land of Gallas), making them not to Oromo people.

  • 21 oromo // Apr 19, 2009 at 3:52 am

  • 27 Fetiya // Jun 6, 2009 at 3:32 am

    I am an Ethiopian, and I honestly feel peity for my fellow brothers and sisters comments. We should act as one loving, united country. Why the hate?Why use words that discriminate and lower our brothers and sisters.Wherever your from and whatever tribe you are, a person should be judged as an individual and not as a nation. My parents are both Wollo, I have been raised outside Ethiopia and I never new the difference of the tribes till 19years later. I do not care what tribe anyone is from, or what country their from, I will always treat them equally as though they are my own brothers and sister. Ethiopia will never prosper if this hate continues (is this what you teach your children to be?). To hate others eventhough they have not harmed them? Please be respectful, decent and humble of who you are and where you come from, and stop this non sense immature comments.
    Praise to Allah.

  • 28 BORAN CHAP // Jun 7, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    Thank very much my sisterFetiya for your humble,concern comments and contributoin but i would like to had as our brilliant Mohamed Ahamed as put it that we need our own Oromo republic country so that we can take our destiny witout no barrier since we have numbers.So let us talk here of how we can join together and move foward.

  • 29 Gaaddisa // Jun 7, 2009 at 5:10 pm

    Hey Faatyaa,hope you came across this page by accident.This page is not about Ethiopianess and Ethiopian unity.Tell that to your Amhara parents.This page is all about the history and culture of the great Oromoo nation.Its devoted to promote Oromoo unity and Oromoo Nationalism.

  • 31 The Oromo One // Jun 17, 2009 at 9:47 am

    Wow, there are three types of people that have contributed to this discussion:

    1) The bonehead
    2) The naive
    3) And the confused

    One may ask who are the bonehead ones? Well, those are the one that are pretending to be an Oromo and advocating for the “Greater Galla” notion while their habasha/naftanyaness is clear and obvious for anyone with clear brain.

    The strategy of divide and concur has already being used thus would not work on the Oromos again. I see that some individuals want to feed into the tribal issues by praising one (eg Wollaga) over the other. The Oromo people, like any other society, do have an internal conflict. But the attempt of the Habashas to divide us would only make us stronger than ever.

    The naive ones are those like sister Fatiya who advocates for the oneness of the Ethiopian people. I must say that she is genuinely a good person who only wishes peace for the people of Ethiopia. Well, I have a news for you, sister: The Oromo people are NOT against peace or living side by side with other ethnic groups in that country we all call home. What we are against, however, is the notion of oneness, which comes at the expenses of others. It is this oneness that has generated the inequity among the people in that country in the first place. Furthermore, there is an enormous consiquiences which follows the ideology of “one culture, one language, one flag, one, one, one, and even some boneheads would not shy away from proposing one religion.”

    These oneness techniques –particularely in a country that is as diverse as ours–wouldn’t work in the 21st century, particularely at a time where the Oromo people are educating themselves in high numbers. As you know when people are educated, they start questioning and challenging the status quo, which is exactly what is happening with the Oromos today. We are moving forward and the oppressors (particularly the Amharas and their cheerleaders such as the Gurages) are going down. No offence, sister Fatiya, to your Amhara background. I am just being frank here.

    Lastly, there are the confused ones. There is really not much to say to the confused ones as the confused would always be confused until they open up their eyes and mind and face the reality. This is for both the Habashas and Oromos who are in the state of confusion.

    Note: If the Oromos where to take over the country today and they attempt to impose my language and culture on the rest of the ethnic groups in that country, I would be the first one to stand against it. To me it makes a little difference who the oppressed or the oppressor is, I just dislike anyone who imposes their own ideology on others in order to benefit themselves. I hate it, and I would fight it wherever and whenever.

    By the way, wonderful article. At least it has sparked some hot discussion. Thank you, author.

    Peace out people, I got 2 go and play some basketball or hoooop as we say here in the USA…

  • 32 Ahamed Mussa // Jun 19, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    Hello Mr the Oromo One!
    Thanks our anti-bone heads bright-minded “Oromo” brother!You told us about the atrocities committed against the Oromo people by the backward Amhara feudal lords and their Guaghe cohorts.That was yesterday.But we neither forget nor forgive it!What about today brotha?Why did you fail to tell us about today’s killers?I mean the barbarian Tigrean hordes who are engaged in a kind of kill all,loot all,burn all and rape all campaign in mother Oromia.Is it because you are one of those blood thirsty AGAME thugs or their running dogs(i,e, a member of the so-called OPDO)?

  • 36 The Oromo One // Jun 23, 2009 at 9:02 am

    Obbo Gaadisaa nahofolchi oboleesoo! I am not a member of OPDO or any other organization for that matter. I am just an Oromo, a human being who advocates for the peace and speak against injustice and oppression. Just because I have not mentioned the current adminstration doesn’t mean I do not condemn its brutal action. I was just going after the BIG enemy here (the Amharas) who have oppressed us for a century and is out to repeat it. The systematic oppression they undertook long ago still manifests itself in our society in terms of the language, culture, and religion. We still have Oromos who prefer Amharic over their own language. And, of course, one can not argue about how we have so many Oromos with Habasha names.

    You may disagree with me on this but I am more concern about the repeatability of the past than the current government. Do not get me wrong I do not like the current government either. I am just choosing bad over the worst.

    Have your say!

    Its very hard for me to consider oromos or gallas as ethiopians. They were completely out of the game for centuries and now complain on amharas and tigres for not giving them the chance to lead the country. Who the hell are they? they have never fought against our countries enemies, they resisted so much to join the national army to fight the italians but they claim addis ababa. They are so funny, they don’t know how many tigrians, amharas and and debub’s and others died to preserve present day ethiopia. They had no place in the history of the country except increasing the population to millions and complains complains…. they will never ever get it. They might instead be sent back with their cattles to where they came from, its funny that they want minilik and haileselassie to implement gada system in ethiopia and made oromighna as national language just because they are many but never ever be part of the struggle against foreign enemies. amhara is always a fobia for them and they will scare them to death. No other ethnicity have such inferiority complex except them and its now time to meles to play with them. everybody else is one and one- solid, just being many doesn’t mean anything, one tigre or one amara is enough for thousands, don’t just count heads.
    Wish you good luck in your effort to destroy Miniliks oblisk in Giorgis, but his spirit and patriocity is in the mind of every single ethopian he made us better and become example for the rest of the continent. He made the right decision no matter what u think.

    Greetings all and peace be upon you. I am a young South African student desperately seeking to familiarise myself and peers of the true history of the collective pride of African people to overcome bigotory and oppression
    it deeply sadens me to see that for a ppeople who have seen the worst levels of inhumanity through forein conquest and some like South Africa went through the horrors of white minority rule and colonial domination.

    One of its living legacies of this thug system was the complete distortion and division of indegenous people of this continent, teaching them to hate each other and deny their heritage, call it naive but the way some of the people on this list adress each other with such prejudice and racism; rings loudly of the opinion of the Boere of SA held about the hopelessness of Africa.

    In these day where we see hatred as a means to engage like the recent afrophobia attacks in SA come from the same thread of hatred and mistrust that stinks on this list.

  • 48 ROBERA // Sep 18, 2009 at 11:00 pm

    hi all
    actually uncovering truth is the only best thing we can do on earth.Regarding Oromo,We are great nations,we have our own identity which the other nations can never share even in the coming world.We proud of who we are.God made us different in thinking and action.This is not to descriminate other nations rather to speak the truth.Our subordination last soon becouse the time for freedom has come.I , as oromo proud guy,consider your comments garbege.You never describe who i am with your silly and unvalued ordinary words.We have our means of explaining our selves.So,i consider all the writers and commenters as uneducated, least ordinary and hopeless in the truth world.Pleaseknow one thing,history is history not word of laymen.Read other sourse,know truth, fight for truth,liars will never get space in heaven and earth but simply spoil their life.Oromo is orom no other term.Isnt it shame to call 40 million people by unnecessary, late deriven, untrue word!!!! since you dont know what true means,you will be judge by your illetrecity.

  • 49 Uninvited Guet // Sep 20, 2009 at 3:55 am

    I think the history written is correct. Even one can add the following.
    The Gojamme Dynasty that was started by the Great Ras Hailu an ended by the “small” Ras Hailu (son of Negus Teklehaymanot or Ras Adal) originated from Oromo Ras and Gonder princesses. Even to date there are name of woredas such as Baso, Leben, Meccha, and Elimna densa.
    Remember the student movement in Ethiopia during the imperial was united and outrooted Feudalism and every peasant has land! The students during that time did not count kinship to oppose what was not just!
    “Elites” of the great Oromo nation, please understand during the era of formation state such role could have been played by different actors, had it not been for lack of objectives and coordination and come to your senses. Let us not waste energy fighting unnecessary war like our brothers in Somalia. Let us solve our problem through democratization!
    The world has progressed and prospered. We shall solve our problem in a formula that will promote forgiveness and progress so that the coming generation will leave in peace.
    May the wishes of God be so that we forgive each other!

    It grieves me to death to read such nonsence as this stuff. If I had tears I woud weep for you. I woud even want to weep blood if that was possible. And I mean the whole lot of you regardless of your different confusing tongues (dialects)

    The LDS Church (Mormorm ) is working day and night to gather the house of Isreal in preparation for the 2nd coming of the Son of God as a King, to usher in God’s Kingdom. Where will you be?
    And, shamelessly, some of you are tirelessly clinging on to your tribal cleavages. It is even more shamefull to hear such comments coming from the diaspora group (refugees)who are trying to soud like wanabe yet their english language is full of grammer and spelling mistakes.
    In your long stay in US. how many times have you ever heard Europeans boasting of their tribes. I mean we have different heritages; french, Irish, British, German which together make the nation of America. etc.
    Look at the hunger problem in Ethiopia, the political turmoils in Somalia, Sudan etc. Who cares who is Oromo, Galla, Habesha, etc. I mean you are all fallen people. The Europeans are exploring the space and you are still quarreling over borderies.

    NB. I have a word for the Oromo people. If your numerical figure is correct, then you must be importent people to allow to be controlled by a small group like the Tigri (Spelling not sure and who cares anyway) The Gikuyu people whom you mock because they are Bantu kicked the British out back in 1958. The Southern Sundanese have taken guns to fight for their freedom. The Frelimo movement in Mozambique did the same. With your 40 million plus population, why haven’t done anything to liberate yourself instead of dreaming of freedom out there in diaspora?

    2) many oromos in dispora will be come heroes through cyber (internet) while the other oromos treated harshely and abused mentally.
    I can’t tell you the solution because I don’t know… you oromos look educated formaly but degraded morally why because you are living fantacy life if that what you want go for it. As far as concerining amhara people we soon be prepared and look forward for the biggest blood shade civil war with oromos, I don’t expect to win the war we just want shade your blood … scarry haa so be it

    To day a friend called me ‘galla’ b/c he was upset on me. I became pissed off, I didn’t say anything back to him. My silence told me something, and he apologized. I accepted his apology and told him not to use that word again on me. Than I search on google to learn more about the word ‘galla’, I came across to this article. any one like him outhere:if using the word “galla” is inappropriate and makes some Oromo people feel bad, that is just simple.we shouldn’t use that word today regardless of its historica context; we are living at the moment time…now… Some poeple I know use the word refering to some one foolish or ignorant. that is not right…I even heard many jokes comparing oromo, gurage,tigre and amhara…the jokes refering to oromo is always bad. a joke is not a joke, if it is repeated so many times. everybody should be judged individually, rather than as a group or a tribe. I hope you undertand my points eventhough my English wirting bad.

    Interesting read. However, the debate disheartens me. The world is 4.5 billion years old and even though the history of humanity is but a tiny portion of this vast history, we’ve still been around for a long time. The structures of societies change, the people intermingle and change, humanity and our reality as we know it is fluid and is in a constant state of mutation. People were nomadic and settled with people of other areas. Humanity’s history is hardly a peaceful one, with many invasions and suppressions and the like. But the strange thing is that because of this fluidity, things shift, people are created and nations born. I don’t think it’s fair to claim a land for your own when the land is simply a creation in itself meant to sustain the life of all who inhabit it, who cares where you’re from, we’re all essentially human beings who would bleed the same blood when cut. As it stands now, ethiopia is one nation, belonging to many different ethnicities but because of this variety, commoness in certain affaires is necessary…how else would we be able to talk. Admittedly, it is a bit strange that an ethnic minority would be the political choice, but if not Amharic, it would have been Oromo, or Tigray, or Gurage, or whatever…but that doesn’t change the fact that all these ethnicities are part of the ethiopian nation…get a grip people.

    We the Gallas find the word “Oromo” very derogatory and insulting. It is synonymous to idiot, brain dead,barbarian, savage,arrogant, dirty,zombie,shameless, and many other ignoble things. We don’t know whether this most disgusting word elicits the same meanings in you or not. So when a smart Galla wants to show his despise of someone he calls him “Oromo”. But because Oromos are idiot,they don’t know all these things and they are proud of this name. Hey you Motha Faka Oromos this is a win/win situation because we insult you and you are happy and thank us for it. Isn’t that smart?”

    To those who think they can talk something bad about sme one: Towfic Aba garo and others. We undrstand your thinking, your view, and your believe. I know you don’t like it, but you are going have t live with it just like your cronic disease. You Amharas (thos bad Amharas), i know you are thinking like your fathers an your bad wariors, the trut is far from that. One thing i want to tell you that, is the countr called Ethiopia will not be the same. It is bad for you that you lost all of those hings in the past; i am sorry my friend. The quston i have for you is Who i Amhara, where are came from? do know their father? Once you answer these questions, then you ca talk about your ingnorat ideology, that suffers Etiopia unitle today. Oromo is not one poeple, not a minority like you, Ormo is the indignous majority pople, havin 99% Ethiopian natural reousess. I know it is bad fo you, sorry my friend it is enough!! You can re-chew what you had swallowed with your fathr or grand fater. One thing i notced Ethiopia can’t be Etiopia untile those poeple like you live in that country. What had happened dryng 1980the during Wllo’s hunger? how much Hileselase used to have in the world bank? do you know about this? Those lik you are the one who became virous to Ethiopian Unity as well as development ad establity.

I know you don’t understand how the good Amhara plays good role to be partener in Etiopia. I know you personally and your friends and family. I just want to tell you that you are on watch list ediot. You came from gonder and you wear one close 3years. What do you hve? look the diffrentce between Amhara in Gonder Amhrara in Oromoia the same as for all northern people? The truth an jUstice is yet to be reveilled ad be ready to eat Cuctus and qimal for your lunch and dinner or ambexa. Or you will came and work fo me as a watch man. Sorry for you no more!!!!!!!!

  • 82 LOL@ misunderstanding // Dec 31, 2009 at 9:56 am

    Kedir and Aba stg are either Somali or Amhara… but they look like somali (to me) who are determined to destory Bantu from the face of Africa…. They are using the same method their relative used to kick oromo’s ass from Gode to Giner and in North Kenya. Oromo must understand that Somalis are primary enemy who are slave of Arabs and habesha are secondary enemy who are Arab themselves. Both wanted fertile oromo’s highland. both took large amount of land from Oromo. Oromo must unite against both systematically. it is easy to destory somali but requires little courage to act as one of Somali’s clan and create arift among them. surely Somalis are coward and savage ppl who will stand on eachother thorat and destory each other. In the case of Amhara, we should kill their notable people who stand against TPLF one by one and @ the same time we kill some TPLF people in the name prominent movment of Amhara called “Tigre Gedaye”. Then the savages will be on each other throat. ………….We will be free!!!!!!!!!!! For all Oromo who are annoyed by the comment of Anti-oromo people , it is good that you annoyed so much but Action is what needed most. i know you can’t come and do what i proposed to you . i am ready to do it for you so oromo brothers and sisters who are deprived of your right by Habesha and your land is looted by somali, i need your little support. Don’t forget action is what matter most!!! act now

    Oromos are the worst example of how a Christian should act. Jesus is only on their lips, never in their hearts. Not only is it impossible for non-Christians to get attracted to Pro-Satanism pardon Protestantism if Oromos are taken as the ‘perfect’ example of what Christianity is, it is even difficult for Christians to remain Christians when you look at the conduct of Oromos.

  • 89 Muslim Oromo // Jan 7, 2010 at 2:30 pm

    You moxy-moron Habashas read the following piece or go to hell!

    “A more Perfect UNION”

    Watching Barack Obama’s speech on race yesterday, I couldn’t help it but draw parallels between the racial devide in the USA and the ethnic problems in Ethiopia. I remember reading Asafa Jalata’s book which compares the African American and Oromo experiance. Just like African Americans were treated badly by whites in the past, Oromos have been treated badly ever since Oromo land is incorporated to the Ethiopian Empire. Oromos were sold as slaves by Abyssinian slave traders. Just like African Americans have been called the N word, Oromos are called by the G word:

    galla na segera eyader yigemal
    xinb galla
    bisbis galla
    galla ena shinfilla ayxeram
    galla siselexin bechereqa janxila yizo yizoral
    yegalla chewa yegomen choma yelewim
    tebtaba galla
    afun yalfeta galla
    Aand Amhara meto galla yinedal
    All these, though most of them are things of the past, created anger and bitterness in the Oromo community. To add insult to injury, there are some who still exasperate the situation for Oromos. Oromos don’t want to be associated with people who don’t have respect for them, dehumanize them, exploit them, tarnish their culture and treat them like a second class citizen. Other Ethiopians, mostly Amharas, preach of UNITY all the time. Unity is good; but if our union is full of injustice and strife, we’re better off separatly. Right now, we are in a stalemate and to get out of this mess we need a “more perfect UNION”. How could we perfect our union?

    For starters, we need to accept historical facts and condemn past and on going injustices. Secondly, we need to change our forced union into a coalition of the willing. That is where self-determination comes in. And lastly, we need to creat a society that believes in Justice and Equality. Only afterwards, we could have a strong union otherwise the resentment and bitterness will consume our souls and lead us to unwanted and tragic end.

    And yes May God bring peace to all humans except oromos.

    And yeee the oromo shall not enter heaven for heaven is made for humans.

    Dear Galla people so called oromo … in the past I have inisisted and refused to belive oromo(galla) are humans and I still stood to the same idea.

    You might wonder why

    In recent the harvard university conducted a world wide DNA test and oromo (galla) found to be sharing 63% of the ape (chimpaneze) DNA.

    Did you blame Ethiopians for this ?
    This is why Oromo (galla) will never leave happily ever after.

  • 98 Solaan // Jan 17, 2010 at 9:21 pm

    We the Oromos find the word “Habesha”” very derogatory and insulting. It is synonymous to idiot, brain dead,barbarian, savage,arrogant, dirty,zombie,shameless, and many other ignoble things. We don’t know whether this most disgusting word elicits the same meanings in you or not. So when a smart Oromo wants to show his despise of someone he calls him “Habesha”. But because Habeshas are idiot,they don’t know all these things and they are proud of this name. Hey you Motha Faka Habeshas this is a win/win situation because we insult you and you are happy and thank us for it. Isn’t that smart?”

    Solaan,

    A smart son of Oromia!

    Hello friends! May the GOD bless all of you! The litrature shows more or less good overview of Oromo people. But who are giving comments? Except some matured and talent like ROBERA, they are just illitrate. Hei, Oromo people are not easy as the name looks easy to remember. Who are backbones? Isn’t it better to have good knowledge about Oromo, the innocent people who fight for their own land, than defaming each other and other people?

    The truth will come! God is raghtious and will respond to the truth……

    Finally, I would like to say, may God give wisdom for those who are not having it, love for those who hate, freedom for those who fight for, patience for those who are hopeless!!!

    Time will show,truth will never disappear!! Stay blessed! From one of those who are longing for freedom!
    stay blessed!

    1. We have to respect each other on this forum and show also those fat head people in this century what does respect each other mean. Unless other wise we can not discuss interesting issues raised in this forum to dig and find the true history of our people.

    2. I really appreciate the researcher start, But the point of your start ishould not be a place where the “the so called debetaras” started.

    3. Any way it is interesting to trace the origin of the people belongs to the same group so that we can find a missing link of the history due to others pressure.
    The origin of today’s ( Oromo, Tutsi,Dinka, Hima, Ankole, Borana and Hinjiran or Ajuran) were the same origin. They are Cushitic origin of Nile basin or down stream of Nile (Meroe) some 2000-3000BC. These people were the first people to claim a Kush civilization of ancient Nubia, or the Al –Sudan and Ethiopia. They refer their country of Origin was Mede walabu ( Mede-Waleba). We can say a paradise or a place where civilization was started “Nubia”. Later between 7-10 Ad when they reach today’s bale a dense forest with abundant water and green they also named to their original country as Mede welabu. This is the point of argument and it should not be the start of Oromo history.

    4. The name of the oromo original was called Megalan ( Brawn face people) this was up the time between Nubia,Napata and Meroe. After the Meroe civilization was over ride by Axum the Megalan team were living in upper Blue Nile basin was reorganized in thier strong Gada to support Meroe. They were not successful to protect Meroe so that, they started to explore for fertile land and grass for their cattle in all direction with in small strong groups. Each group was given a task from a Gada system to get and hand over a plot of land to the second Gada team. The formulation and regulation of the Gada were formulated in such a way that any surrended enemy or captives were mixed up to “Megalan” with out any discrimination. The rules and regulation established in the Gada system were like (Mogassa, Harmehodha and Gudifacha) which were avoided discrimination, torching of all war captives. This helped the Megalan to be a large team and disperse in all direction of east and central Africa of today. Then they started to get different names like Oromo for those who are living in today’s Ethiopia. Similarly, the team remain traveled to Sudan called Dinka . The team moves dawn to ward south or North Kenya named as Borana which is the elder in Oromo family. The team pushed further to Uganda named as Hima means. The team further went to West Tenzania called Ankole ” and the team pushed dawn to Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire is called Ho-tusi or tutsi and a people inter to Somalia is called Wajiran .
    Next time I will come up with some interesting history of our people.

    You brothers, please ,please don’t respond to any nonsense comments. Rather than become anger and put some thing in here. Read, ask and put some important history so that we learn from it and build our future. When we start to jot down our history they become upset. Because their “debetaras” used some chances to tell as our history by limiting to the day they concurred our country. Any way the time we waste with them is enough and take this emotion on contributing our history by asking seniors on oriental history.
    I assure you that the Oromo history exhibits more than 5000 years in this area and they are the one who contributed the system to the world democracy

    Mr Gondol could you plz tell us about the Roman section of the Oromo story,I mean about the contribution of the Great Oromo nation to the Roman civilization.My grand dad told me that Oromos are origionally Romans and the name Oromo its self is derived from the Latin word “romo” meaning a Walking Ape…

  • 120 gimatame galla // Feb 2, 2010 at 5:52 am

    Dear oromo people formerly know as “Galla”. Every where I look each oromo is writing about “oromia shall be free” what are you trying to say when you say oromo shall be free

    When the bible written thousands year ago does it never talk about oromo but ethiopia and ethiopians ? Does real oromo look like ethiopians such as amhara,tigre,gurage and ertireans ? What more proof are you seeking if this isn’t enough.

    Here is why I don’t like,respect and hate Galla.
    oromo are stupid you might ask why because you are asking a freedom no one has taken away but you ilterate mind.

    You see you blind stupid old fuck oromo galla donkey ass ape monkey listen closely. Ethiopian is a for told country neither galla nor nobody will a inch land out form the country except you want your stinky blood to be shade like your forfathers pay attention you ape galla. What in the fuck bring our name in to your garabge mouth you undersatnd offcourse you don’t because you galla another name oromo means stupid.

  • 121 Gondol // Feb 2, 2010 at 2:08 pm

    Mr Finifine

    Thank you for your comment and question?

    Oromo is the great people who only can claim one part of the kush civilization some 3000BC. We are the first people to claim a Kush civilization of ancient Nubia which named by that time Megalan( In Oromo language) or the Al –Sudan (In Arabic language) and Ethiopia( Greek language). The meaning of all these three wards indifferent language is the same called burned face or brawn face. Thus, why today you here the word megala in different songs and the Oromo settlement named as”megala”. But the word Oromo as you mentioned is not form Roma. For the contribution the kush civilization is the base to all civilization of Egypt, Rome and Axum. For this there is no argument and it is mire fact written in different history books.

    As I mentioned above name of the Oromo originally was called Megalan ( Ethiopia, Al Sudan) this was upto the time between Nubia,Napata and Meroe. After the Meroe civilization was over ride by Axum, the Megalan team were living in upper Blue Nile basin was re organized in thier strong Gada system to support Meroe. They were not successful to protect Meroe from Axum so that, they started to explore for fertile land and grass for their cattle in all direction with in small strong groups. Each group was given a task from a Gada system to get and hand over a plot of land to the other gada. By this time they have started to get different name. In the future I will explain more about where does this name comes and what does it mean. If any boy have some thing to farward please Go ahead.

I moved to USA when I was 12. Everyone of my essays in ESL consisted of how beautiful and diverse were our cultures. WHAT HAPPENED my people, are we that different to where we wish eachother’s death?

    Wasting time on nonsense things like insulting each other but
    It is to enrich what has been raised as a topic.
    That is the history of Oromo. This is what expected from Oromo Intellectual.
    As you see from the comments even some of the Oromo’s become upset and follow the way some stupid people follows. By the way they need to upset many people so that we will argue on some thing else outside the purpose of the web site. We have to think and protect the web site.

    You have to say to your self, whenever you open this web site.
    What is my Contribution???????

    I asked this because, If you read comments 1 to 233 except some, all are slogan. That is enough; we don’t have experience to jot dawn our history rather passing over orally. That is why people tell as our history is started from 16 century from the blue.

    To my understanding that is enough and you have to put it in here some fact or Arguing matter from your father, Your grand father or mother about the history, facts of Oromo people.
    By than we can learn from each other and build our future regardless of some flakers.

    Finally I don’t Agree with Shashe Oromo ,on the idea of forget the past, because I believe that learning the past means it does not mean for revenge but it is a base. Thus why, people are digging into a rock so that they can identify human origin. So for us also, we have to know our origin history and values.

  • 136 AFDist // Feb 12, 2010 at 12:10 am

    What ever our history, now we Oromo are to determine our destiny. Enjoy it here:

    Oromo: eject Unitarists, fight Hegemonists, but elect Unionists

    During the time of occupation by Abyssinians for the last about 150 years, Oromo people were “allowed to elect our leadres” under the aristocracy of T. Mekonnen, under the military dictatorship or autocracy of Mengistu H/M and now under the ethnocracy of Meles Z. We all know what sort of elections we had till now, there is no need of elaboration about them. Now we do have few weeks to live before we will be “allowed to elect our next leaders”. What are we Oromo people and other oppressed nations in the empire going to do in the next election? Boycott the election as some people like to advocate and want to convince us? Elect OPDO and the likes, who are the servants of the hegemonist Weyane? Run behind the Oromo individuals who are serving the unitarist Amhara elites, i.e individuals like Yaqob Likie (a brother of the famous Oromo, Senay Likie) of AEUP and the Oromo lady Sofiya Yilma Dheeresaa (a daughtor of the famous Yilma Dheeresaa) of EDP? Or should we elect the democratic federalist Oromo nationalists rallying behind the OFC of MEDREK?

    We like it or not, the next election will be the struggle mainly between the following trio: the unitarist AEUP, the hegemonist EPRDF and the unionist MEDREK. The question which the Oromo people need to answer is: who of the three does serve best the political interest of Oromo national liberation? No question, it is Medrek who at least strives for the genuine ethnic federation and who tries to make Afaan Oromo one of the working languages of the federation. So before we do decide to move for the election, we need additionally to ask ourselves the following question: who should take power from the hegemonist Weyane, if at all successfull? The unitarists like AEUP or the unionists like Medrek? It is clear that no Oromo with sound mind will elect the ruling fascists, but we all need to choose from the two camps of the opposition. Nowadays Ethiopian politics is already cristalizing very well. The opposition camp against the fascist Weyane is well devided in to the following two:

    - the backward unitarists, who do want to forge a unitary Ethiopia of one language (of course amharic), one people, one culture, one religion (of course orthodox), one ethnic dominance (of course Amhara dominance) and one flag under one God. This camp includes parties like AEUP and EDP who want to dismantle Oromia with the pretext of opposing kilil-federalism, the camp which is now instrumentalized by Weyane to fight against the major pro-genuine-kilil-federalism opposition alliance known as Medrek.

    - the forward oriented unionists, who want to form a union of free nations in Ethiopian region in which both individual citizens’ rights and collective nations’ rights will be respected. Parties organized under Medrek stand for this action and that is why they are now vehmently attacked by Weyane and its allies.

    Mind you all, the word unity has got double meaning. Unitarists want to hide behind the word unity, eventhough the true and acceptable unity is the free union of all citizens and nations based on their free will, which the unionists like Medrek try to achieve. Major parties which belong to the unitarist camp are parties like that of Ato Hailu and that of Ato Lidetu, whereas major parties which can be categorized in the unionist opposition camp are those in Medrek like OFC, UDJ, UEDF of Prof. Beyene and ATSD (Arena Tigrai). Surely in the coming election, the backward conservative unitarist group will lose, whereas parties in the progressive and unionist opposition group still need to be smart enough to cooperate and coordinate their efforts more in order to get rid of the fascists from Finfinne palace.

    Today, Weyanes are very much terrified because of the second opposition camp, that is why they do now support the unitarist opposition camp and made the quasi-alliance in the form of Shawel-Zenawi-Handshake, eventhough their policy differs very much, the goal being to weaken Medrek. At this moment, Ato Hailu and Ato Lidetu are taken by Weyane as the hopefull saviors of Ato Meles Zenawi’s fascist government by trying to neutralize or eliminate the unionist opposition camp of Medrek. So Oromo people should move against the unholy Hand-shake and here are some of the reasons, why Oromo should elect the unionists:

    - unitarists are the obsolete mindsets, who still think to subjugate Oromo, to dismantle Oromia and to amharanize the empire. It is mind boggling to read in the program of UDJ, that it is almost accepted as NORMAL to claim Amharic to be federal language, whereas Oromic needs public verdict to have the same status. If the “moderate” Amhara oriented party UDJ thinks like this, we can imagine how the very conservative parties like AEUP and EDP think about the equality of languages in the empire like the equal chance of Amharic and Oromic to be the federal working languages.

    - hegemonist Weyane leaders do have no healthy political position to let Oromo people to excercise our God-given right to self-determination for they never want to lose the possibility of exploiting the very rich resource of Oromia in order to build Tigrai further as far as they get chance to be in power and as long as they can.

    - the future political move of the region and the globe is in the direction of realizing both national liberation of nations like the self-determination of Oromo nation and regional/continental integration like the necessary future African federation of free nations. So the unionist parties like Medrek are the parties of the future, whereas the unitarists are parties of the past and the hegemonists are of course parties of only the present.

    - any election in the empire is not actually a true election per se for Oromo people, but it can be used as a means of struggle for us, which we can use to move in our liberation journey a milimeter forward. So our people should use this opportunity of the next election to start another phase of the FDG (Fincila Diddaa Garbummaa = uprising against tyranny).

    - we like it or not, despite the setbacks here and there, under the current visionary leadership, OLF has been transformed into a powerful political/military force that even non-Oromos are starting to rely on to help bring change in Ethiopia. With its military wing led by the professional officers’ corps of generals and colonels, and with a matured and highly experienced political leadership, OLF has become a leading player in Ethiopian politics. When the fast-decaying Woyanne regime falls apart, the OLF military alone can step in and maintain order, let alone joined by the other opposition parties such as G-7, ONLF, EPPF, TPDM and others. OLF leaders have played a key role in the hitherto realignment of forces in the Horn of Africa region. Their visionary leadership has contributed significantly to the recent paradigm shift in Ethiopian politics from the politics of serving the unitary empire to the future fostering of the political union of all free nations in the region.

    - the nucleus of all the unionist parties was the AFD and now it is the Medrek, both of which are the nucleus of the necessary coalition for common good purpose. Medrek’s current objective is to facilitate a demise of fascism and then to promote a national reconciliation dialogue. It is good to believe that one of the routes to a regime change in Ethiopia is the one that is being followed by Medrek. The fact that alliances like AFD and Medrek do exit at all has completely changed the Ethiopian political landscape over night by bringing the “ethnic-based groups” to the “mainstream Ethiopian politics”.

    The ideal remedy against the fascist Weyane would have been the transformation of the unitarists in to unionists, so that ALL can cooperate and do fight together against Weyane. That means people in parties like AEUP, EPPF, EPRP and EDP should have stopped dreaming and talking about bringing back the old unitarist Ethiopia and they should have accepted the NEW union of free nations in Ethiopia (NEW Ethiopia). Additionally, I also would like to encourage the oppressed mass of both Amhara and Tegaru nations to fight for their own self-determination of their respective nations and then struggle for a holy union of all free nations in the empire/region. This could have united all the opposition groups under one umberella to fight and get rid of fascist Weyane. Hopefully unitarists will come to their sense to do this in a near future so that we can have ALL-inclusive Medrek at home and ALL-inclusive Tibibir in diaspora against the worst EVIL of the Horn region, Weyane.

    So the future politics of the empire/region will be lead with the interest to get rid of both the unitarism prefered by few Amhara elites and the hegemonism of Weyane as well as to rally behind the unionists like the parties in Medrek in order to forge the future union of autonomous nations in the empire/region, where all the citizens individually and all the nations collectively will be free to determine our own fate without being looted and lorded as it is now under Weyane. That is why I do recommend in short that our Oromo people in particular and all oppressed nations including the oppressed Amhara and Tegaru masses in general should radically eject the unitarist forces like AEUP, fight against the Weyane hegemonists and of course need to elect the unionists in Medrek. Then to boycott the next election as some people try to advocate is not a solution for Oromo nation and other oppressed nations, eventhough we do know that the election will never be fair and free under Weyane regime. I just encourage all Oromo and other peoples to be registered for the election and then to start the new phase of uprising against tyranny in order to get rid of the deceptive Weyane forces including the anti-Oromo individuals in OPDO in favour of promoting and supporting the democratic forces like those of OFC in Merdek. I do wish us all Oromo people and other oppressed nations at home and in diaspora to have a good fight against the unitarism as well as the hegemonism and I do want here to express my holy wish of success in our struggle!

    Galatooma!

  • 137 GALLA GEDAYE("KILLER) // Feb 12, 2010 at 2:08 am

    DEAR GALLA;

    The amhara people face many problems like other ethinic people in Ethiopia. Despite the problems and dilema, we couldn’t ignore oromos arrogancy and falsified stories and histories written in the each web site. We refering to the amharas owned,lived and ruled the country for many centuries as our language delvelopment speakss for it self. When I say amhra ruled the country for centuries, I didn’t mean oromos didn’t or gurages did’t. It just mean we took the large portion of it refering to time in power. We are warriros just like any other warriors localy or internationaly but only with great strategies.

    Dear friend oromos you might ask what in the fuck is he talking about ?

    I am talking about seriousness of amhara and oromom issues that currently facing us.

    Concentrating and delivering my message clearly.

    As a read the bible I have seen written words such as “Ethiopians shall soon stretche her hand unto God” and “could a tiger deface his srtipes off his skin and ethiopians change theri identity”. What does this message signal to those oromos who the ability and knowledge to understand and read bible well.

    I have see real oromos with all due respect they look like those people from somalia,sudan and kenya. Which is kushitic.

    Now if a real oromo look like cushtic we you carry the language and wear the face, have you ever asked your self you might be a foreigner to Ethiopia. The reason I said that is because I will find some who look like you refering respectively to the oromos from somalia,sudan and kenya, infact almost ant part of africa. As for real Ethiopians you will only find them in Ethiopia. Could this be a proof because if the bible was talking about oromo people it will probably say “africa should stretch her hand unto God” which is good but it isn’t written this way. So, should oromo people shut their mouth and live in peace with indegenious people like gurage,tigre and amhara.

    Or should we engage in bloody shade battle ? Which you will never win I gurante you.

    orama hated all races and spread their mat to enjoy great land of ethiopai , their muslim are like somali who are donkey for arabs, ethiopia is land of amhra, tigrye, oram , soamli danakil, it great ethiopia land
    somali wages war broker for arabs see their land is nearly to sold
    see ereia an ethiopia tribe . who hsot sudani for long eyar to get psdoe autonomy , when they confined into land with land scaps , except
    beatiful
    the geurial of ertra try land expansanist , to djbiouti , ethiopia yemen and all neighbour nation,
    in yemen they were right to attack , but not djibouti and ethiopia
    there no orama , they miscelleanous of people like somali tribes , other african , muslim beggers during grangs, jarso in neither soamli nor oroma , they oring people
    i conclude my speech , ethiopia is like soveigty union, its a rassian of africa , its was inlang
    who ever beleive ethiopia is colony is inferior and outsider can claim ethiopian .
    we dont need racism , tribalism , we need great ethiopa

    It doesn’t matter if I say for 4095 times oromos are foreigners and don’t have any given place in ethiopia.

    Dear galla animals currently known as stupid oromo or galla which means oromo
    Direct meaning of oromo Galla means a black stinky donkey with un healed wound.

    Ethiopians are very wise and generous people unlike Galla or currently know as donkey oromo peoples ( I am sorry I said people I meant donkey oromos).

    Why wise and generous ?
    We have been respectfull to this ape animal Galla known as fucken monkey oromos.
    For centuries we did not tell oromos animals what the exact meaning of oromo or Galla.
    Galla means a balck donkey with a stinky wound in his or her back.
    Now you know what the real meaning of oromo. You feel hurt, I don’t if ever get the chance.
    If I ever get the chance

    If I ever get the chance to hurt oromo. You know what I will do

    I will put all the 25.5 million oromo ape in a gas chamber and let them go in few second.
    Now do you realize how your arrogance brought fire and strong hate mixed with with violent response to oromos.

    In real life can a disorganized OLF protect the people of oromo from Ethiopian ? Can they ! I highly doubt it.

    Dear oromo freinds, I call you my friend because I consider you as my pet. Prepare for an for offense.

    I don’t hate anybody in this world as much as oromo.

    If I see and get a chance I will put all Galla/oromo in a gas chamber.

    You fucken ape, you understand. You idiot oromo.

    WHAT THE DIFFERENCE between educated ape oromo and ape

    Fucken galla Allow to begin my offense very harshely,violently and in my own ignorant way.
    Read this you understand you fucken idiot ape galla;
    What in the fuck is the slogan oromia shall be free ? Fuck you and fuck your idiot slogan.

    Dear fucken ape galla; if you think you will take any inch of ethiopians land you must dead wrong and your ape oromo forfucken fathers passed befor you were fully grown up. Fucken idiot ape oromo what difference does it real make for one oromo to grow up or not. Because after you grow up you will be a dirty galla.
    Listen you backward and pagan galla. Let me take you back to my previous topic that says your fucken forefathers passed. The reason I said this is if you were if you were grown up your idiot fucken forfathrs will tell, how difficult it was to cope with ethiopians forget taking an inch land. To sad you for fathers were murdred and behaded like.
    Any sad feeling yet ?
    Continuing….

    Fucken Tesfaye you carreid an amharic name with amharic word.
    Fucken tesfaye what in the fuck wrote that animal word in your comment box. First you should change your name to galla or something that will fit you well, idiot tesfaye and galla donkey.

    I like what galla gedaye wrote ” galla means oromo, oromo means galla direct definition a balck stinky donkey with unhealed wound. For years I searched what the real meaning of oromo and I finally found what exactly oromo means and galla means. I will spread the word like you galla sister spread her laeg for one penny or penis. Fucke moron galla.

    Now, I will repeat what galla gedaye wrote in large words so, it will be visible to those humans and modern day apes oeomos.

    “Oromo means galla direct definition a back donkey with un healed wound in his her back”
    No, hard feeling the meaning was close to what I anticpated.

    I agree with your idea, and my intention was not to respond for ill minded people. However, when we are talking about our history, they become up side down and get mad. I don’t know exactly why, they become a life time enemy to Oromo people.I think this people who are writing down unnecessary things in here are probably the youngsters and they don’t know what their ancestors even did to our people. At least they have to work hard on the way they can live in peace like other friends in the country. Out of 83 tribes in the country 82 are guanine and respected people and they never, ever intrude to our site. We have also a great respect to them.
    But so called Debetaras are intruding to this site and they shit with narrow mind. Any way now on wards I will not follow their way.

    Have you asked your selves what are you doing for Oromia or the Oromo people?

    I want to know, right now what are you as an individual doing for Oromo?

    If your a university student, what’s your goal/major, and how does that connect to improving Oromo peoples lives.

    And people (particularly Oromo children) need to understand that first we need to fix your selves.

    This mean Oromo student shouldn’t have time to be going to CLUBS/dance BALLS. (all u c happening in ATL, MN, WA, etc.) While our brother/sisters are being locked up.

    How COME we have Oromo children involved in gangs, and are being killed or killing eachother weekly for “God know what” in the US.

    How COME do we have Oromo mothers and entire familys struggling HERE IN AMERICA, with no support.

    How Come we can set under this COMPUTER and write all this bull for HOURS, but don;t want to send a minute improving or strengthening our community here.

    ===================

    WE are all to blame…

    Why isn;t their programs or systems made for the Oromo youth in Minnesota.

    Why dont we have support projects for Stuggling Oromo Family in America, Europe, Australia, etc.

    Were are our University Graduate students, our doctors, nurses, social worker, psychologist, artist, engineers, scientists, educator,etc.

    Most are dwelling in his others country and have forgotten their responsiblity.

    BUT i want to end on this.

    One brother said it perfectly, in the comment above!! He said:

    “ACT LOCAL, THINK GLOBALS”

    because if we can’t even solve the community problems…HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO SOLVE A NATION’S PROBLEM..
