Ethiopia: Ignore Unitarists, Fight Hegemonists, but Elect Unionists | Opinion
By Fayyis Oromia*
During the time of occupation by Abyssinians for the last about 150 years, the Oromo people were “allowed to elect our leaders” under the aristocracy of Teferi Mekonnen, under the military dictatorship or autocracy of Mengistu Haile-Mariam and now under the ethnocracy of Meles Zenawi. 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, the 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 few 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 daughter of the famous Yilma Dheeresaa) of EDP? Or should we elect the democratic federalist Oromo nationalists rallying behind the OFC of MEDREK?

Fayyis Oromia’s Ethiopian Political Spectrum
|
We like it or not, the next election will be the struggle mainly among the following trio: the unitarist AEUP, the hegemonist EPRDF and the unionist MEDREK. The question which the Oromo people need to answer is: which of the three does serve best the political interest of the Oromo national liberation? No question, it is Medrek – which at least strives for the genuine ethnic federation and which 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 successful, the unitarists like AEUP or the unionists like Medrek? It is clear that no Oromo of 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 crystallizing very well. The opposition camp against the fascist Weyane is well divided into 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, which 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 vehemently attacked by Weyane and its allies.
Mind you all, the word ‘unity’ has got double meaning. Unitarists want to hide behind the word ‘unity’ even though 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.

Gadaa.com,
thanks for the publication of this short essay, for the marvelous graph and for the hitherto excellent cooperation! I just want to add few points to clarify more to hinder a possible confusion to be raised and exploited by our foes.
“Secessionists” like ULFO are simply the unionist liberation fronts who opted for the unconditional INDEPENDENCE because of the ignorantly arrogant position of the unitarists and hegemonists to block the free move of nations in the direction of a true language-based federation and a constructive union. Otherwise we never heared or read member organizations in ULFO explicitly opposing a possible future union of independent nations in this globalized world. They are simply the frustrated ones, who are accused by Weyane as “secessionist” for their legitimate demand of national liberation. Potentially this group can be in line being positioned between Federalists and Unionists considering the I-Kaayyoo, M-Kaayyoo and E-Kaayyoo of Oromo liberation movement. Federalists are for I-Kayyoo, “Secessionists” for M-Kaayyoo and Unionists for E-Kaayyoo.
Unitarists like AEUP also talk about federalism, but their version of federalism is xeqilaigizat based and they mainly target to dismantle Oromia. Additionally they vehemently oppose the right to be politically organized as “biher dirijit” = national party. They claim to be hibre-biher (multinational) party, eventhough they are defacto nationalist organization promoting Amhara national interest.
The difference between Federalists and Unionists is that the federalists want to achieve a regional union (Ethiopian union) before or without national sovereginity like Oromian independence (it is pre-walabummaa union), whereas the unionists want to promote a regional union after or with national sovereignity (this is post-walabummaa union). According to unionists, it is only the free will of the liberated nations which should give up certain part of national sovereignity for the sake of common regional benefit, just as nations in the European Union gave up certain part of their sovereignity to forge EU.
So, in general the future political move of the empire is in the direction of fostering both national independence like that of Oromia and forging regional integration like integrated Horn or the futurepossible Ethiopian union on the grave of the hitherto Ethiopian empire. Hopefully the “secessionists” will grasp this importance of the future union of independent nations, the unitarists will give up their mantra of keeping unitary empire with pretext of unconditional unity and the hegemonists leave their madness wanting to keep nations under the present slavery, so that all citizens and nations in the region voluntarily come together and build the true federation and/or the genuine union in order to promote our common HOME, the Horn of Africa, towards a lasting peace and economical prosperity. The stubbornness of the unitarists and the hegemonists to hinder the move of the federalists and the unionists will only feed and strengthen the “secessionist” mentality of the frustrated unionists so that the futurity of the empire will be disintegration instead of the wished regional integration.
Thanks again!!

Dereje Bacha,
to comprehend Fayyis Oromia, do us a favour and read all his articles. Then you surely see that he is not against the move of ULFO. He once wrote the hitherto three alliances forged by Oromo organizations (Medrek, ULFO and AFD) are all important. Medrek is a federalist who can help our liberation movement to the immediate-Kaayyoo (I-Kayyoo), ULFO to bring us further to middle-Kaayyoo (M-Kaayyoo) and AFD is to help the last move to end-Kaayyoo (E-Kaayyoo). So, if you are genuinly confused Oromo, read more! If you are simply trying to intentionally promote the “confusion”, Fayyis has already done the great job, which you can not reverse with such simple comments.

Gadaa,
the left column of the graph (conditional, consenus, unconditional) is right only if you want to refer to the self-determination and compare “secessionists”, federalists and unionists. But unitarists are not for unconditional self-determination. I think you can do the same to refer to conditional/consensus/unconditional UNITY! So please do the same regarding unity by adding a column on the right side!

Hi Lewux,
There is no point of confusion on this article. It is very clear. My concern is “malif waan hunduma, keesattu kan keenga gadi baafanaa?. waan bu’aa baafanu jira?. You can take it as simple comment or good comment. it is your choice. But, I am confident that none of ideas I mentioned are against what oromo is demanding. It is immature to applaud much “Medrek” at this moment. We donot know what will happen during the finishing time. If you are sure what will happen at the end, tell us. Akka “MEDREK” kaayyo lamaataat (M-kaayyoo” jete, akka sigeesu “sure’ waan taate jira?.
It is just athletics, you start with many and only one take the gold medal.
Is there any point where I mentioned Fayysi is against ULFO?. Who is confused?. me or you?.
Fundura fiigaa jirta jechuun hin moota jechuu miti. ULFO yaa jabaatu jedhe malee Fayyis ULFO jibba hin jenne. Kaayyon ULFO gadi baasuun, halagaan beeki jechuun ala bu’aa oromoof hin qabu. Kun, siif “simple ” comment dha. Akka siti fakaate.

Obbo Dereje,
do you think ULFO’s Kaayyoo is hidden from Abeshas including form Weyane? It is a known fact that ULFO will unconditionally dismantle the empire. Otherwise it is now a common knowledge among Oromo activists that there is no conflict and contradiction between the Kaayyoo’s of Medrek, ULFO and AFD. They are complementary to one another. Do you think Medrek is worse than Weyane? We may argue on this theoretically, but no use. Fact is that Weyane is a fascist force and must be removed by any means as far as Oromo is concerned!

When I look at the graph above, I can really don’t be confused by remembering the hard opposition of the Hegemonists, Unitarists and the “Secessionists” against the formation of AFD four years back! Federalists didn’t make much voice against AFD. The three unconditional forces were those who made the alliance to be weakened. But now it seems some people and groups from the unitarists, hegemonists, “secessionists” and the unionists do have a consensus on the good futurity of a genuine language-based FEDERALISM. So no question that the federalism will have a victory in the region called Ethiopia in particular and even in the continent Africa in general.

Interesting! The three alliances in the above graph are all mainly formed by Oromo forces:
- MEDREK to foster Federation
- ULFO to achieve Independence
- AFD to forge Union of Independent Nations
The other two camps (unitarists and hegemonists) are dominated by Abyssinians and now they seem to cooperate in order to hinder the move of the above three Oromo dominated camps. In general the struggle is actually between Abyssinian domination forces and Oromo liberation fronts. Plausible graph in deed!!

Aite Dereje,
do you believe that the Kaayyoo’s of Medrek and ULFO are contradictory? Refer back to Fayyis Oromia, where he put all the above five groups in one dimentional line of political spectrum. He put them, RIGHT—– to———LEFT, as follows:
- Unitarists (past oriented)
- Hegemonists (present oriented)
- Federalists (future short goal or Immediate-Kaayyoo aka federation oriented)
- “Secessionists” or Liberationists (future Middle-Kaayyoo oriented aka national liberation) and
- Unionists (future End-Kaayyoo aka regional union oriented)
Then he described further that Oromo has got only ONE Kaayyoo-Oromo which can be devided in to three terms: immediate, middle and end. Federalists help this to achieve the immediate term of Oromian autonomy in Ethiopian context, then “Secessionists” promote it further to accomplish the middle term in a form of Oromian national independence and then the Unionists will finish the journey to the END of establishing regional UNION of Independent nations for common benefit. Where is the contradiction? It is clear that our smart foes and our “stupid” friends try to make a conflict out of it, just to try to sow a discord among Oromo nationalists. Where do you belong? To the smarts or to the “stupids”?

Dreje,
you make sense! Your arguement is not bad, but the others also do have the same right to oppose your view. Their selection of words may not be good, but they also do have points. Regarding the removal of §39, I think both OFDM and OPC still do support it in their party programms. It is only in the compromise program of MEDREK after give and take that they opted to such decision. That means the compromise is only intermediary. Otherwise it is not only ULFO, but also OFC and AFD should have in their mind the three terms of the Kaayyoo and achieve them one after another. Anyways the END must be both national Walabummaa (independence) and regional Walfaanummaa (union), i.e Walabummaa Oromia with Walfaanummaa Cushland (Ethiopia). This can be the common ground for all including the semetized Cush nations like Amhara and Tegaru!!!

Obboo Dereje,
your concern seems to be legitimate, but it is based on wrong perception. Instead of looking at the non-linear (two dimentional)graph presented here, just look at the linear (mono dimentional) approch Fayyis Oromia used in his last articles as follows: Unitarists (AEUP)——Hegemonists (TPLF)——-Federalists (OFC or Medrek)——Liberationists (ULFO)——-Unionists (AFD)! Then, just ignore the unitarists, fight the hegemonists and support the rest of the following three: federalists leading to Oromian national Autonomy, liberationists pushing further for Oromian national independence and then at the END unionists trying to foster a regional union of independent nations for common benefit. If you look at it like this, you then will definetly see no contradiction between the Kaayyoo’s of MEDREK, ULFO and AFD!!!

Interesting to read that Dr Negasso Gidada almost said: DISMANTLE OROMIA!! In the interview he gave in the amharic journal called Ze-Habesha here: http://www.ethioforum.org/wp/pdf/ethiof … sha_14.pdf ;he just said the federalism should be restructured so that Amharas in Debrebirhan use Finfinne as their capital and Oromos in Borena use Awasa as their capital. How interesting to observe the decaying of the ex-OLF freedom fighter to be one of the servants of the Abyssinian colonizers!!

One of the fake and fiction stories we are hearing from Ethiopia now is that people try to devide political parties in that empire as “ethnic based” and “hibre-biher”. All Amhara parties like AEUP, CUDP, EPPF, EPRP, G7M, UDJ and UEDP try to sell them selves as all inclusive political parties. And they try to villify others like OLF, ONLF, EPRDF…etc as narrow minded “ye biher” organizations. For their justification they try to show us that for eg. UDJ is lead by people from all nationalities.
Here is nothing to fool each other. People from other nationalities, who are active in Amhara parties are only hard-wares with Amhara soft-ware. Just look at those in UDJ and G7M:
- Ad Birtukan Midhegsa is Amhara soft-ware in Oromo hard-ware (she is Amhara in mind and Oromo in blood)
- Dr Hailu Araya is Amhara in mind and Tigaru in blood,
- Dr Berihanu Nega is Amhara in mind and Gurage in blood,
- Ato Muluneh Iyuel is Amhara in mind and Hadiya in blood……etc
Just look at the attempt of stressing to use only Amharic by both paries, they never dare to use Afaan Oromo, eventhough they try to get the support of Oromos. Forget the other conservative “hibre-biher” parties like AEUP and EPRP, who talk only about one “ye Itiyophiya hizb”, they never dare to say “ye Itiyophiya hizbooch”! So let’s all be ware of Amhara soft-wares in Others’ hard-ware!!!

Ilmaan Oromoo,
Waayee MEDREK ilaalchisee ammas irra deebi’ee waan tokko jechuun barbaada. Akkuma Fayyis ibse, OFCn MEDREK wajjin (waliin) kaayyoo yeroo gabaabaatti (I-Kaayyootti) nu geessuu danda’a jedheen yaada. Filannoo baranaa illee kan bara 2005 irraa kan adda godhu mormitoota guddoo kana keessa dhaabileen Oromoo kun OFCn (OPC fi OFDM) jiraachuu isaanii ti. Kanaaf yoo dhuguma filannoo kana moo’an, xinnaatu illee bu’aa ykn jijjirama tokko agarsiisuu ni danda’u jedheen amana.
Akkuman kanaa olitti kaase, akka kaayyoo yeroo gabaabaa kanatti hin hafne, akka deemsa keenya hamma galii booddeettii itti fufnu, humnoonni bilisummaa Oromoo duubaan qabsoo cimsuu qabu. MEDREK qofaa abdatanii cal jechuun, ammas humna cimaa duubaa dhabuun rakkoo biraa keessa nu galchuu danda’a. Kan dabre irraa barachuun baay’ee barbaachisaa dha. Haala bara 1991 yoo ilaalle ykn yaadanne, ijaarsa mootummaa ce’umsaa keessatti ABOn gayee guddaa fi murteessaa taphate. Haa ta’u malee tooftaa gara garaatiin Wayyaaneen suuta suuta humna harka ishiitti galchitee, booddeerra sirumaa humnaan ABOn illee akka achii ba’u goote. Otuu humna jabaan ykn cimaan biraa duuba jiraatee ture, ABOn salphaatti achii hin ba’u ture. Otuu WBOn miidhamuu baatee innuu yeroo sana humna jabaa tokko ture. Kuni muuxannoo guddaa ta’uu qaba.
Kanaaf abshoota wajjin yoo hojjennu amantii irratti gatuu fi of dagachuun akka booda miidhamnnu nu godhuu danda’a. MEDREK irraa abdii qabaanu illee dammaqinsa guddaa dhaan of eeguutu nurra jira. Yoo humni cimaan duuba jiraate, isaanuu waan dubbatani fi yaadan sana hojiirraa oolchuuf dirqamu. Yoo humni duuba jiru laafaa ta’e fi isaanis kana hubatan, tooftaa fi tarsiimoo jijjiiranii wanti hunduu akka abdii fi hawwii qofaatti hafu godhuu danda’u. Yoon akkana jedhu sodaachisuu koo otuu hin taane, akkaa sirriitti of eegnu fi ammuma akka itti yaadnufi. OFCn jara kana keessa jiraachuun waabii guddaa ta’uu hin danda’u; akkuma ABO yeroo mootumaa ce’umsaa ta’uu danda‘ jechuun barbaade.
Jarri har‘a „article 39“ gaafii keessa galchan boru yoo isaanitti tole fi haalli jirus kan isaan hayyamu ta’e rakkoo uumuu danda’u jedheen yaada. Kuni yaada kiyya. Wanti yaadamu hunduu ni ta’a jechuus miti. Of eeguun barbaachisaa dha jechuu kooti. Yoo humni bilisummaa Oromoo duubaan cime, jarri kun yaada ofii illee jijjiiruu kan barbaadan yoo ta’e, humna kana waan sodaataniif akka ofii barbaadan hin godhan. Kanaaf malli fi furmaanni gabaabumatti humna bilisummaa fi walabummaa duubaan cimsuu, biyya keessattis hamma danda’ame sochii guddisuu dha. Yoo akkan ta’e qofaa dha M-Kaayyoo fi E-Kaayyoo Fayyis ibse sana ga’uu kan dandeenyu. Kan dabre irraa haa barannu, haa tokkoomnnu, humna cimaa haa horannu, baay’ifnee of haa eegnnu. Galatoomaa.

While you are trying to analyze and dividing groups into 8 to push your agenda of Oromiya, you will not even have a land as the land is controlled by foreign companies. Keep analyzing, I wonder …for another 30 years? Instead, join all Ethiopians to oust this government that is pushing the neocolonial agenda in the entire Ehtiopia. Fight for your rights and equality instead of fulfilling a wish for foreigners.

Obbo Abdii Boruu,
your comments and articles in Afaan Oromo makes me to love Qubee! You do write both ortographically and grammatically very clean Afaan Oromo. Galatoomi. Your comment on MEDREK and Fayyis Oromia’s roadmap leading us to acieve both Walabummaa Biyya-Oromo (independence of Oromoland) and Walfaanummaa Biyya-Cush ((union of Cushland) is also very constructive. Thanks!!
Dear Truth,
truth hurts! Ya?? Just you and your likes (most probably unitarists) need to join the unionist camp, not vice versa!!

Aite Truth,
yours is a deperate cry of Weyane cadre! To your MERDO, the opposition groups from ALL walk of life are cooperating against you. The “peaceful” ones at home have been already organized under MEDREK, and those “illegals” who do fight using all inclusive methods of struggle in Diapora will be organized under the coming TIBIBIR. The reasonable citizens from the Unitarist Amharas (e.g UDJ), from the Hegemonist Tegarus (e.g ATSD), from the “Secessionist” Somalis (e.g SDFC), from the Federalist Southerns (e.g UEDF of Prof Beyene) and from the Unionist Oromos (e.g OFC) have already come together to forge the ALL-inclusive alliance called MEDREK at home in order to foster a lasting solution for that troubled empire/region known as Ethiopia. Your Weyane fascists demise is coming slowly, but surely!!
your merdo.

Obbo Dereje,
I do understand your scepsis and mistrust regarding Abesha forces in MEDREK. But let the cynism, and mistrust not rule our life. We should determine our fate based on our INTEREST. At the moment MEDREK can serve our interest. Of course as you and Ob Abdi put, OLF must be the strong back bone to support the move of OFC in Medrek. Both the strong OFC to realize Oromian autonomy and the strong OLF to secure Oromian Independence within or without a necessary Union of Independent Nations is the garant for our QBO (Qabsoo Bilisummaa Oromo). We need beside MEDREK, a very strong only ONE vanguard liberation front, OLF. That is why we do pressure the three OLF factions and the other Oromo liberation fronts to come together and forge this Alliance/Unity/Merger!!

Hi,
Is it because that they arenot thinking in the way WHAT YOU ARE THINKING now, you are trying to attach them to amharas? You are so fool that you are commenting everyone with a different idea. Believe or not, there will NOT and NOT be peace without democratic unity. R u sure the other ethnic groups sit hand on mouth when Finfine goes to your dream nation oromia??? Please lets understand eachother. Democracy and equality is MUST for all ethnic groups. And unity is the only choice of co-existance!!!! Otherwise we will fight forever. Please wake up from ur nightmare!!!! We must CO EXIST!!! dont be selfish.

Hallo Dereje,
thanks for the coment. Just being curious to know who are the Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis of Oromo liberation movement as currently discussed, I do want to raise the following questions. As far as I am concerned, Liberators/”Secessionists” are the Thesis, Unitarists and Hegemonísts are the Antithesis, whereas Federalists and Unionists are the Synthesis! What do you think??????????

Dereje,
well said! It is clear to see that there is no difference of Kaayyoo as such, but it is taken as a “reason” not to wok together. Some Oromo nationalists still cry about “Kaayyoo-ganamaa”, eventhough the only ONE Kaayyoo-Oromoo is inclusive of the “Kaayyoo-ganamaa” in a form of M-Kaayyoo. It is really good to work first to achieve the most feasible one, I-Kaayyoo (Federation), by supporting OFC/MEDREK. From that position, it will be easier to move to M-Kaayyoo, i.e “Kaayyoo-ganamaa” (Independence). After we achieve our complete sovereignity in the form of Independent republic of Oromia, we can opt to forge a Union of Independent Nations in the region for common benefit. There is no contradiction of Kaayyoo among Oromo nationalists, but unfortunately we have to tell them 3000x/d to help them that they finally understand it!!

Dereje,
I am with the constructive part of your comments (solution seeking part), but I don’t want to be part of the game of accusation and blaming. If we do have a constructive criticism against the leaders you do mention, we can adress it appropriately at the right place and time! I would like to use the cyber world only to show the way forward and if necessary only to attack our foes, specially Weyane cadres. I do appreciate the constructive part of your comments and I would like to suggest to reconsider the blame game in your comments. Thanks!!!
