A good friend of mien from Minnesota calls me the other day to tell me about a phone call he received from one group of OLF function. The message was left on his answering machine. He was very surprise and upset by the content of this message. The message basically states that he should not allowed or he should not be going to the meeting called by the other function of OLF that was suppose to be going on last weekend.
I am not so sure if this is a way to follow for any of the OLF leadership. I do not think calling individuals and telling them what to do or not is the best approach to dram up support for your organization. After all are we struggle for freedom of choice, the freedom to chose what meeting to attend or not. Should we be dictated by one or another groups. Are we actually losing focus here? Who is the enemy? This is the way how we want to lead this or any other Oromo organization? I will let my fellow Oromo to answer that.
Speak Out Oromo!

Is the OLF taking credit for Wayane's evil conspiracy?
The last time I visited Oromia it was a joke to blame car accident on OLF. This comes basically from the government falls propaganda that this been a norm in Ethiopia. Now it is typical for Wayane to go around and plant a bomb and blame it on OLF. The people in Oromia know that each of this blast has nothing to do with OLF or any other Oromo organizations but for Oromos it is creating negative publicity around the world. You might say any publicity is a good one but in today terrorist infested world I do not think it will help Oromo cause.
I am just hoping all Oromo organizations out there to come out and oppose this negative propaganda. The united we stand the better chance of wining anything. We can always agree to disagree on the Oromo internal issue but when it comes to our enemy we should stand as one.
I have one suggestion for OLF. Stop campaigning against functions among yourself and just focus on what you should. I am kind of lost in what you should out to do though

How long we are going to be acting as outsider?
How long are we going to act like outsider?
To me Oromo are getting more and more frustrated and exclude themselves from actively participating in the political process of Oromia and Oromo organization outside Oromia. I know someone is going to jump on my throat for suggesting to take political part in Ethiopia empire. But the truth is if we like it or not our participation is a key to defeat Neftegna and establish free Oromia.
As I see it now we gave up everything, including the right to participate in political process. The worst part of that is we are not doing anything when it comes to Arm struggle. So tell me what we are doing? Tell me how we are planning to get to free Oromia. May be waiting for Neftegnas to hand us over. Remember this my fellow Oromos, freedom never comes free, it requires struggle in all front. Rather sitting in the coffee shop and talk how bad one Oromo organization compare to another, get yourself involved in this struggle and make a difference. Until you do that, there is no freedom. The political power will change hand between Tigre or Amhara and you Oromo will remain slave as you have been for the last 100 years and 100 to come :(

Oromo you are only responsible for your happiness!
We Oromos spent quite sometime to please other people. We in general think we have some sort of responsibility to take care of other people and other people feelings. If you see a group of 5 people sitting at the coffee shop and if one ended up being non-Oromo speaker we chose to speak with the language that person speaks. We go extra mile to accommodate that individual. We think we have some sort of responsibility for that person short coming. In contrary we are discouraging people from respecting our language and respect us. You can take an example of Neftegnas living in Oromia. They lived there for years and bother to learn our language. We spent to much time to take care of other people than focusing on doing ourselves.
Moral of the story: If you want to be respected first you will need to respect yourself and your language. Then other people we do the same. If you do not give a respect for who you are no one does. And you will spent your pathetic life as been looked down by people who don't know how to take care of their own shit. You will die unhappy! and so your kids, grand kids, ...

Why Oromos are not speaking out against genocide in Oromia?
I see a news about Oromo student and peace loving human being killed here and there in Oromia but I do not hear any outrage from either the so called Oromo organizations or media. I am the only one puzzled by this or there are other Oromo individuals like me. If you happen to be there please say to me few words!
