    Dear ABO, Gadaa.com and other oromo media members,
    In 21st centrury the power, the main power is communication. I appreciate the sacrifices paid by many of you to move forward with constant and immovable aim towards librating Oromia.
    Please Please lets establish a daily mechanism of communication. Reliable, accurate and timely news is a supreme power for our libration. I can’t wait week for news. Lets make a daily and timely news.
    God bless Oromia.

    Dear Obbo Dawuud,
    Thank you for taking this initiative; however, I am amazed that you have extended your call to the TPLF and its mercenary OPDO and those Oromo organizations who work in the framework of Ethiopia and ignored the Oromo organizations that fight for the liberation of Oromia. I think this approach is wrong with due respect. Before you call on the OPDOs you must cooperate with independent Oromo organizations by stopping fooling yourself and your narrow-minded political cliques who lack a political vision. The Oromo people demand a united Oromo national movement with a reformed and vibrant OLF. If you want to be part this vibrant leadership you need to reform you political behavior and performance.

    Dear brother Dawuud,
    Please learn about Oromo democracy and the Oromo people and change the way you engage in the Oromo struggle. Since we love you we do not want to see when you are damaging the Oromo struggle and yourself. Please stop trying to exercise the styles of leadership that Isayas and Meles are practicing; such practices do not fit with the Oromo culture and personality. You will only emerge as a beloved leader by changing your style of leadership and distancing yourself from your yes men who are promoting dirty politics.

    Good luck my brother!

    Thank you very much Obbo Daud. Communication is power and timely news are very important. Extending your call to all concerned stakeholders is also excellent and wise decision. That is what diplomatic struggle and propaganda work is all about. In the future, please extend your call also to other Oromo organizations since they are also parties to the conflict.

    That way, a movementcan grow more than its own size. And grouth is a process of life all in the social, political and biological bodies. Proactivity and action is the essence! :)

    Unless we assume that something is going on behind the seen, I don’t think enough is being done to snatch opportunities. At this critical time there is no other organization in Ethiopia comparable to OLF in terms of organizational capacity. Oromia can not be freed without affecting other peoples in Ethiopia; and I believe that every one who will be affected in the process is wondering about OLF’s next step, eagerly or suspiciously. So, in addition to the Oromo people the rest of the people in Ethiopia need be addressed in such press releases.

    Dawud’s miscalculation and knee jerk reaction (infact it is not it is not only Dawud’s but also Tamam’s and Bultum’s). But why?
    Simple and obvious reason- Dawud and the Bultum group think that Lencho Leta has planned to go back to Ethiopia to share some sort of power with Weyane, they also think that their foe Kamal Gelchu is already aligned with Amharas, and finally they believe Meles will die soon if not already. Based on their analysis of these three factors they think that they have already fallen behind in reclaiming AFP, Working with OPDO (which is totally awkward because today OPDO can think better than Dawud’s group or the rest of them), and most of all they want to be there in time, incase, just in case 1991 repeats itself and “OLF” is called upon to join the government. This time Dawud knows the 91 OLF is no longer there, hence he tries to create legitimacy by trying to form some sort of Aliance with Amharas. But what about Kamal, who is already working with G7? Well, that won’t be an issue since they are going to be befriended soon thanks to Ephrem Isaak. All Dawud and his internal competition (Bultum and Tamam) need to do is to appear as if they are for a broader coalition while at the same time trying to pretend they are heroic nationalists who will never blink short of independent Oromia.
    However, there are completely different rationales for this action that could be very funny and damaging for the hoped reunion of OLF factions. The first one is trying to show some sort of confidence (however bitter it might look) like to join the “Ethiopian” camp to pave a way for possible negotiation and agreement with Weyane (which the Kemal Gelchu faction doesn’t have any problem with as they have already declared non-violent struggle). The question is whether the Dugasa group will go along with this. So far they have said nothing publicly. But hey, there is one thing that proves their inclusion or representation in this Dawud’s declaration of intent. The three of them agreed to reconcile with each other and guess with who else? Meles Zenawi…..Bingo! That effectively kills the notion of radical OLF. Thanks to Ephrem Isaac, the OLF (s) we know will no longer be what they claim they are, once officially hitting the ground in Addis Ababa, they have to negotiate with OPDO even to have their name signs up let alone to of any viable presence…. Good bye mediocres! Welcome reality!
    But yet there is still the other rationale why Dawud’s group unceremoniously and unexpectedly released this rather bizarre press release, it is to sabotage their own promise to Ephrem Isaac. Why? At least it is forced by Bultum and Tamam’s faction to vehemently oppose any chance of reconciliation with Dugasa’s group. Here is what they expect when doing this, they expect the Dugasa group to either publicly protest (God knows what those people are doing) or to silently withdraw from the reconciliation. Since Dawud’s group is traditionally considered “Ethiopianist” it is ok to leave the Dugasa group behind. That would to the minimum ensure Dugasa and Dawud groups will never mingle…. Bingo Bultum and Tamam! What makes me laugh and adore these people is indeed how they make themselves and each other perfect Guinea Pigs. Guys just tell us what we should look for next!

    Harka fuune,
    What do Dawud, Bultum and Tamam groups share in common? Is it not just for rhetoric conundrum that the name OLF is often referred to, let alone the basic fundamentals of OLF’s original vision/kaayyoo? It remains always appreciated and welcoming for generations when the plain facts, and the truth are presented (on any forum), with honesty and genuineness without colouring it with trushes. Appearing to have the internal scope is one thing, appraising the truth is another. Let us remain honest to our selves and the people of Oromia.
    Asalaam Aleikum.

    Harka fuune,Jaal Dawuud Ibsa
    I appreciated you very much for your long-time commitment to Oromo struggle, devoting your time, knowledge and energy. I remember since my childhood time that you passed through long ups and down including hard time of life during 1982 in Gidami (Giray Sonka) in which most of our committed politicians lost their life including Tadase Shoro (farmer residing in Gidami).
    To accomplish your task of bilisummaa along with your colleagues and our people you better think of the 21st century style, in practice. We may have three generation: 1) First (>45 age) 2) 2nd (25-44 age) and 3. 3rd (45 may think the previous situation in which they came through may seem right, and hence adopt such trend. Such style may not be sustainable for those who consider themselves for change especially in 21st century. With the good value we have we have to learn more from others. but not from Meles and Esayas style even in the long future. For the good thing you contributed the society can understand and consider it rather than thinking by yourself. Theoretically, according to Gada adminstrative structure if I am not in mistaken every 4 years there is a trasfer of duties and responsibility. Unless otherwise this principles materilized the futurity of Oromia will repeat the same trend of Habasha.
    Let God give us one committed and genuine guy for future Oromia,
    Waaqayyoo/Rabbiin hubannaa nuuf haa kennuu,

    Dear David,
    There is no straight line when we pursue politics in it’s present formula, or in any other form. Overall, what we need remains to be the wisdom of Oroomummaa, and appreciation for our elders. Yes, one can not describe the hurricane they were patient enough to pass through. I still continue to pray to Waqayyoo that he will continue affording them the Oromoo patience to complete what they embarked on since the occupation of their motherland by the neighbouring Nation of Abyssinia. Therefore, please save your self assured assertions.
    Safuu

    Nagaa sammuu,qaamaa tiif jireenyaa siif haa taatu. So great and timely released.The wide circumference of the political innitiative clearly brands the OLF has strengthend its popularity.Oromiyaa as a nation is the option for all to scape from the wayaanee correpted,shrewd policies of dictatorial regieme. The massive resistance all over Oromia is based on the basic interest of the Oromo and its neighbouring people. The leading star of our struggle for freedom is un-shakeble.I appreciate the OLF lerdership.Thankyou.
