Taking a position on Somalia issue is not in the best interest of Oromo!

I am the only one lost in the direction OLF is going or are you my fellow Oromos have the same issue. Is OLF hoping from issue to another with no clear understanding in what they are doing? I am sure many of you say, “OLF never had clear objective and direction”. I agree to that statement in part. Currently what OLF is doing is so confusing and it very hard to tell where it is heading to.

Take a look at the statement made by Lencho Bati (Spokesman for the Oromo Liberation Front) below.


Somalia could become Ethiopia's "graveyard" if it intervenes against a burgeoning Islamist movement, an Ethiopian rebel group warned on Tuesday.

"Unless Ethiopia pulls out of Somalia, the Somali people will be an angry, hungry lion, and the last thing they want is to be poked and provoked by Ethiopia," Lencho Bati, spokesman for the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), told Reuters.”


How is this statement representing Oromo people interest? How is that related to OLF and its movement? None at all! This statement is taken entirely out of the mouth of Islamic court movement in Somalia. Mr. Bati supposes to speak in behalf of OROMO people not in behalf of Somalia opposition. I don’t think Somalia people need Lencho’s help to resolve their internal matters. I think OLF need to represent Oromo’s interest and medaling in neighboring country affairs will do just the opposite. By the way, did just OLF form coloration with other opposition group representing Ethiopian interest? How will that play out then?

I think this a time for OLF to start thinking twice before they OPEN their BIG mouth. The part also should consider about changing their “mouth piece”. It is necessary to put in place more diplomatic person in place. Because you are the mouth piece you should not open your mouth if it does not represent your people interest.

Speak out Oromo!

Hi there,
Does any body has any information regarding the a meeting took place with Abadulaa Gemeda in Minsota?

Not a whole lot. The meeting was kind of closed door and few individuals participate in it. There were other meeting and conference were going on in town at the time. The way I see it, it wasn't that successful...

Leenco was simply giving his party's stance regarding a question that was directed to him by the journalist. I don't call that speaking on Somali peoples behalf, or for that matter 'medling in somali affairs'. The OLF from time to time may have an opinion on regional affairs, why does that scare you?

I don't think someone this about being scared Qeeyroo, this all about focusing on the thing really matters to Oromos. OLF is being is acting tike a mad dog this days. Why don't look at what happened during this year. This comes as a shock to you Qeeyroo but, Opinions of OLF doesn't make a dent on that region affairs at all. If you claim otherwise please let me know.

Hi guys, the very thing we oromos need to understand is that we are blind to evaluat the oromo "forces of strugle". For that matter they are not brave enough to sacrifies their life. Only staying in North america and Europe. Lets look and evaluate the oromo political forces including OPDO ON THE BASES OF what they have done for oromo people. AND fairly give them comments. In saying this someone may leble me otherwise. But the final word I want to say is, my oromo brothers, LET'S LOOK OUT OF THE CIRCLE"...........BY!
