Why we Oromos don't think big?

Just looking at the day to day life of Oromo people and Oromo politician, I kind of felt that, there is something is missing. May be we are not too ambitious or we would not like to pay the price. Whatever the reason behind, we are not set out to do big thing. We are lucking in thinking big. Think about your life and left me know if this is not ture.

Speak out Oromo!

Can you do what it takes?

Most of us know what it takes to free Oromia but do any of us willing to pay that price? I don't think so. It sad but true! Most of my fellow Oromos exactly know what it takes to win the war against neftegna but most of us are not willing to that pay price. We always expect someone else to pay this price. We expect some other poor kids to go and die for Oromo cause. Doesn't matter who you are, the bottom line is, either pay the price that needed to defeat neftegna or shut up and enjoy your life as a slave. It doesn't matter where you live in the world you are still slave. Escaping to country where other died for there freedom doesn't make you a free man...

Speak Out Oromo!

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!
