So with that said, people need to understand their issues are political and not on civilian bases. Blaming millions of innocent people for something they have nothing to do with is ridiculous
You have every right to hate Oromo regional gov, so do we. Heck they’re the cause of the man made drought going on in Borana. PP does not work for the greater good of Oromos and in all honesty we need them out.
All regional leaders and parties are sheep to whoever is PM which is Abiy.
None of this is directed to you bro, just replying here.
Agreed, nothing against you either. We should be careful with generalizations of accusations, even if we have legitimate grievances. Most Oromos are kind, and have no problems with Somalis. Which is why I think we need to solve our "issues" with genuine intentions, before turning into conflicts.
For our part we need some form of change/amendments in the constitutions as well, with regards to the article of right of self determinations. That is should be limited to people who lived in areas until the creation of ethnic federalism in 90s. Meaning that if people move around, and you end up as a minority on your historical land, you should not be able to have that right. With the current system, there are no limitations. This applies more to Amharas than Oromos, who concerns us. So now Jigjiga isn't far from having a non-Somali majoirty population. What happens then? Will it become a contested city like Dire Dawa 2.0 in the future? Anything is possible, especially as you also have the "new" Oromo borders closer to the capital.
If you include aspects like no real enforcement of languages in a region, despite a regional official language, what happens then? For example, most Amharas in DDS don't learn the language (Oromos tend to be better in this regard). Many of them have advantages above non-Somalis in DDS, with regard to like federal jobs and other benefits. All of these factors and many others, will result in people seeing Amharas and some Oromos and Afars, especially on our borders as "threat" due to not having proper institutions/laws. People should be able to move around in the country, but in a regulated way and not having to worry about the future status of your land. The reg'l gov't has failed us here too.
Besides this, the federal gov't together with the Oromo and Afar ones, and their puppets in Jigjiga are up to something on the low, when annexations of land is happening (including with the use of force). The result of the referendum in Jinacsani/Chinaksen hasn't been enforced, instead all of it was, at least officially, handed to Oromia (look at the map). Causing some of the Somali/Oromo conflicts. With a silent regional gov't, everything is subtly OK'd. People unfortunately will then turn their reactions towards all directions.
