A Call for Oromumma at this Juncture of Condolence
The death of our hero Engineer Tesfahun Chamada is sorrowful for Oromo people, but it revealed again the extent of brutality of TPLF regime. The attitudes of all Abyssinian regimes on Oromo people are the same whether they are ‘assigned by God’, ‘Ethiopia first’ or ‘Democratic’. I would like to remind you that Aklilu Habtewold, the then prime minister of Hailesellase, told the veteran Oromo General Tadesse Biru(mistakenly thinking that he was Amhara) that they need to lead the Oromo a century behind by depriving them even basic literacy knowledge. The woyanes, however, are forced to open schools as a result of determined global funds and influences like Millenium development goal (MDG) and other internationally funded commitments even though they work hard in deteriorating quality of education in Oromia on purpose. Therefore, they can only block the wave of Oromo resistance by eliminating the few fine screened educated young Oromos at downstream points, unlike the policy of Haileselase ‘deprivation at the source’. That is why they instigate, conduct surveillances, target aware ones, massively imprison, torture, and force them to immigrate or kill Oromo students from high schools through Universities during the last twenty years. They know the consequences of all the atrocities they have been committing and that enlightened and united Oromo is formidable force.
The mere fabrication by TPLF regime as if Engineer Tesfahun ‘committed suicide’ is out of question. I know his dedication, determination and that he is always looking ahead under difficult situations, I have no doubt on this point. The first point I would ask the Ethiopian security forces and authorities of the prison why they kept him alone in his cell. Because, nobody can commit suicide where there is another prisoner with him. From this, it is evident that he was imprisoned alone to facilitate for his torture for the last two years. He had been appealing to the court and all concerned bodies, but to no avail. The second point is that how far is it possible to commit suicide in the prison? How did he conduct suicide, from rope, poisoned, electric shock or in what form? Is there any symptom to prove this, on his corps? Did any independent body check the autopsy? I, hereby, appeal to Human rights watch, Amnesty international and all other concerned bodies to conduct investigation as this is the worst of all human rights violations.
From Oromo point of view, atrocities being conducted against Oromo nation makes us attentively observe our status. Our hard got university students are being instigated and massively imprisoned, killed, tortured and so on-on purpose to avoid Oromo leadership of the future. The other arena of TPLF instigation of conflicts is by armed militia from our neighboring nations like the recent massive occupation by Ogaden Liyu police in eastern Oromia, similar situations in Western Oromia on boarder with Benishangul Gumuz, the situation in Moyale and much more are worth mentioning, where Oromo on the other hand is disarmed. Oromo peasants around Finfine are still being evacuated from their lands where the TPLF affiliated groups possess and become rich overnight selling Oromo land. Land grabbing has also been scaled up to international companies occupying tremendous quantity of hectares from our parents. They are ruthlessly exploiting the resources of Oromia all roundedly. Can we have Oromia to transfer to the next generation? Generally, they are in the process of eliminating not only Oromo and Oromia but also Oromumma. Whether we like it or not it knocks all Oromo doors directly or indirectly. Every Oromo cannot wait until it comes to his personal door step. The death of our beloved martyr is a ringing bell to raise his legacy to save Oromia and Oromumma.
I believe those lenient Oromos should learn from such and all previous practical lessons and join their people’s struggle for freedom. It is not time to wait from somebody else, it is our national issue. History tells us Oromo united had never been defeated, and will never be defeated. Oromo had been in peace and pacified the horn of Africa before conquest by Menelik for thousands of years unified under Gada democratic rule. The weakening of Gada is the sole reason for the breaking of Oromo nation. Now it is time to organize all our resources and focus on all moves of the enemy. Oromo political entities shall beware that for minor differences they are serving the purpose of the enemy. You need to be accountable to the Oromo people. I advise all concerned Oromos to form all Oromo national assembly (at least the Diaspora) guide the further development of Oromumma and check accountability of parties to the people so that further sufferings of Oromo people would come to an end.
I would also like every Oromo individual to evaluate his status as an Oromo-for-Oromumma. Let’s stop talking about minor differences among political parties and lets evaluate ourselves; what am I doing as an Oromo for our being, because a nation is a sum of the values of each individual entity under a certain system? Every Oromo has something to contribute to Oromumma. The more Oromumma develops, the higher the Oromo unity bond and the easiest for Oromo struggle in general. If you recall our recently adopted brother Lammi, an African American (the new Malcom X) quoted Dr Martin Luther king’s the three dimensions of struggle. This is in line to increment to the height dimension of Oromo struggle. We need to understand that we are much higher than the level the successive Abyssinian rulers buried us for the last 120 years.
Besides our daily strife for bread, wherever we are, we can simply update ourselves on Oromo issue from Oromo media, we can also blog, provide different information to Oromo media, we can speak out our real history to foreigners and international media so that more Oromo friends can be recruited. We can get many friends from everyday life and harness the relationship for our purpose; we can go further to inviting government officials and link our issues through advocating their interests-like a lobby group. This is related to the width dimension of Oromo struggle.
Those who can teach Afaan Oromo can upload Oromo teaching materials where children in Diaspora and foreigners can understand Afan Oromo. Let all Oromo professionals in Ethiopia and in Diaspora unite to get updated information from within Ethiopia and abroad that is related to either atrocities by the enemy or any information related to our cause. Let those who have access to manuscripts post on the internet and let’s translate into Afan Oromo and even into Amharic and vise versa, let the wider world understand our realities from different corners. We need to be our Ambassadors and media by ourselves. Let’s follow the courageous way, our hopes, Jawar Mohammed and Mohammed Ademo started in advertising our cause. Assume if every Oromo contributed, in any way, what these brilliant and gallant young activists are doing, imagine how far we could have gone. It is the sum of all seemingly minimal contributions that would be the pride to all of us. If we can dedicate at least 30 minutes to Oromumma every day, destination to freedom will not be far.
Just cause like that of Oromo struggle is protracted and never stops until such a historical massive nation is liberated. We need to reshape our strategical thinking, we should not expect bilisumma over night or a onetime effort. Rather we need to deeply understand it is protracted act of each and every Oromo past, now and forthcoming. We need to keep it going under every difficult situation whether we see it ourselves or the future generation makes it true. Yes we can, and it will come true with our protracted efforts.
Let all of us who are determined to do something tangible for Oromumma promise to nobody else but ourselves; and ask ourselves daily ‘what did I do for Oromumma today’? Oromo promises with ‘bones’ of friends. Lafee wareegamtoota akka Injiner Tasfaahunii fi kan duraan wareegaman, har’a ille kan carraa wal fakkaatuun dararamaa jiraniin waadaa waliif galla. It is only this way that we will revenge the barbaric injustice upon our martyrs like Engineer Tesfahun Chemeda.
