Oromia and the other ethnic enclaves will disappear and Ethiopia will become a unitary, indivisible country like before 1991 hopefully

OLF was started by abduljaffar he was very anti xabasha and he hated king xayle sellasie and mengistu I think he was also I think even in the 1990s caydiid supported OLF. For us Isaaq principillay we are opposed to OLF Because it's against the royal family amxara And afweyne used OLF as paramilitary against the SNM in the 1980s.

What about Qerro?

false sir
the founding of the OLF is attributed to at least a few men, not one person only
there are many founding members like: taha ali abdi, jamal ali abdi, shaykh jaara abba gada, and many others.
who is this abdul jafar that u speak of anyway
of course, most, if not all, oromos, hate mengistu and haile selassie. the same way isaaq hate siad barre.
it's common sense, natural thing.
and why do isaac care what oromo does anyway, u have your own country, and we have ours,
it's better if u guys didn't try to interfere in our affairs
the same way we do not interfere in somali affairs, out of respect for u all, darod, isaac, dir, all are the same to us, brotherly neighbors
OLF fought SNM true but only because siad barre force them to , and that does not mean all OLF members or even leaders agree with that move
and 2018's OLF is very different from the 1978-1985 OLF, we are not based in any somali territories anymore.

[Waachis]

What about Qerro?

qeerroo is always the guardian of the struggle
qeerroo's literal meaning is any bachelor, or marriage-aged warrior
even you and the members here, can be qeerroo
all we have to do is kill a bull, smear u with the blood, and give u your oromo name
lol i joke, i joke.
but yeah qeerroo has demanded the various OLF groups to unite, as well as OPDO/OFC, so we will see.

I am very pleased with this news. May the legacy of Elemo Qilxu live on through these gallant sons and continue to defend our people.

Mr waachis what I don't understand in the 1970s Oromo opposed mengistu. But mengistu also had allot of promo under his wing. I know at least 23 oromo generals who visited us in diredhabey and Harar and all said they were oromo but pro mengistu this was between 1983 and 1988 when we had good working relations with mengistu haile maryam and his men


Also the OLF leaders were they macca tulama or were they wollo oromo or karayu or were they noolo bareentu

Good move by OLF as we knew what the evil alliance of OPDO, Amhara, gurage, and Tigre had been upto.

Good move by OLF as we knew what the evil alliance of OPDO, Amhara, gurage, and Tigre had been upto.

Another good move was appointing an OLF general, Gen Kamal Galchu as Security Chief of Oromia.

Time it ticking and ODP will soon be replaced by OLF and it’s Allies(OFC) etc as the leading party of the region. ODP don’t have any support from eastern Oromia, and somewhat of the south. It’s just the west central which won’t last as ODP is pushing for alliances with parties of different regions and the G7 instead of patching up the scars they have with OLF and allies. Most Oromos are in support for the OLF, but we’ll see where the coming elections will take us.

the oromo were very much supportive of the DERG/MENGISTU in the early years of the revolution, that toppled haile selassie, because mengistu took the land away from the amhara elite neftenyas and gave it back to the oromo farmers.

but as time went on, mengistu became more and more dependent on his neftenya/amhara allies, and began an oppressive reign of terror.
and to be fair, he hated some habasha too, because being a dark skinned ethiopian from the south, he knew how it felt to be made fun of/and looked down on, simply for being darker, having thicker lips, and that kind of stuff.
the northern habesha, a lot of them, feel superior with lighter skin, thinner lips, more ''defined features.'' and they look down on the others.
kind of how u somalis look down on bantus and ''jareers.''

the OLF leaders were pretty diverse actually, you had oromos from wallaga/macca, shoa/tuulama, hararghe/bareentu, etc.
the issue was, communications, especially in a land that big, was nearly impossible, so they didnt work together and coordinate their efforts.

Sou8outere. The mistake of 1992 shouldn't happen again, and OPDO shouldn't be trusted.

[Khalid Ali]

What I dont understand why didn't the gallas support mengistu xayle maryam he was killing their enemies xabasha tigre and and the xamasien dictator afewerqi. And just replace mengistu with a more oromo nationalist like meqershe of today. I mean it's not hard your enemy is xabasha your oromo and all oromos should back their own olf against their enemies the xabasha.. but what's weird is the oromo themselves are related to habasha and defend habasha in wollo shewa and maybe even in waachis region macca clan. Where is maxammad jawar the oromo nationalist extremist.
