Do you know that Somalis and Oromos have enmity that spans centuries?
They see US as an enemy that needs to be dislodged, furthermore, they desperately want access to a coast.
Don't look at them as an ethnic group, think of them as a nation state; ruthless and calculating.
Your first statement, completely wrong. Those that see you as an “enemy” have such feelings out of anger. What your average Somali do not know, or speak about is the fact the Liyyu have entered Oromia numerous times within the last few years targetting eastern Oromos. These people upset and confused take their anger out, and think Liyyu represents Somalis as a whole. The same way a lot of Somalis are looking at the federal army as an Oromo army, which it isn’t.
The federal army is the same army that has been attacking Oromo, Somalis in Ethiopia and Somalia, and other ethnicities. They represent Ethiopia, not Oromos.
We truly can careless for your sea coast. Yeah we are landlocked, but Oromia is the richest region within Ethiopia with Gold, Coffee, Agriculture etc. we don’t need your land be it in Galbeed, or Somalis proper.
I hate seeing these statements made as if we are the Muslim refugees of Europe. It’s a bunch of claims and statements with no proof, and hatred spread out of it. I’m fine if you want to hate us all, close your borders etc. but don’t spread this concept of “Greater Oromia” because there has never been an idea.
I agree in the sense of looking at Oromos as a nations. Oromos look at ourselves as being a nation with the people as it’s citizens - Lammi. We belong to Oromia, not Galbeed, Somalia or Jabuuti. We are guests in those lands, and don’t want them as ours.
