the average oromos do not want those lands. i dont know why some idiots even make posts like that to make us oromos look bad, as if we're land grabbing thieves. we just want out lands back, which are within the ethiopian empire. then later, we can port arrangements with somalis.
Which lands do you want back?
addis ababa/finfinne. (btw, we do not want to kick every non oromo out, but we want primary rights over it, plus look at how addis ababa is dependent on oromo farmers, did u know oromo farmers are the reasons addis ababa has food even? and millions of us surround the city on all sides almost? how could we not want it?
and yes, my somali brothers, we want all the disputed lands, that we won legally in the 2004 referendum.
if the oromo cheated, as some claim; bring proof to an impartial court of law, and I for one, would relinquish all claims to those lands.
you see, oromo-somali relations are too complex to define within federalism!! many are mixed groups, who can claim both oromo and somali sides.
so if we cannot agree on the borders; why not co-administer the disputed places then? that is much better than two mainly muslim groups fighting and sending each other to hell!!
example: if we dispute moyale, instead of fighting, have a half oromo/half somali local administration.
two working languages. rotate rulers every 4-8 years, so one term an oromo governs, one term, a somali governs.
