You’re speaking about 2018 when the entire county was in shit show. OPDO and Oromia ruled by Lema Magarssa at the time sending his goons(Oromia police) targeting many people. Non Oromos and Oromos alike. We Oromos were to busy protesting going against the federal gov, and to shut us down, they caused and created conflict for us at all borders. No damn Oromo living in Harar or Hararge for the matter has any Ill feelings towards Hararis. They are such a small group that it can’t do much damage to us. Heck, many Oromo farms and woredas joined the Harari zone voluntarily. They are now part of the Harari region. Many Oromo living in and around Harar for the last hundered years assimilated into the culture and now many Noole and Jarso Oromos claim Harari ethnicity. No one hates them and they are no target. You are using the hate you have for Oromos to push this narrative.
The people mean to do nothing.
Yet they don't condemn it
"Two buildings were set ablaze
One notable illegal seizure of property and land is that of the Aw Abdal Institute, a school with
historical significance to Hararis. Its compound and surrounding area is occupied; the surrounding trees have been illegally uprooted and around 50 houses and shops are in the process of being built unlawfully. Finally fed up, the Aw Abdal board members and the community at large decided to have a meeting at the Amir Abdullahi Conference Centre in September of 2019. Moments before the meeting, local police arrived and forcibly cancelled it without any explanation. To this day, there has been no resolution on the issue.
While Hararis wait for the government of Ethiopia to address their grievances, those borne out of inter-ethnic strife, a new crisis befell Harar in January 2020, one that is religious in nature. It has now been widely reported that, amid the Orthodox Christian Celebration of Timket in Harar, Amhara celebrants and Oromo residents fought over the draping of the former Ethiopian imperial flag—a controversial symbol amongst Ethiopians.
Amhara and Oromo have had numerous clashes over this same flag. This time, however, some used this incident as a rallying cry, claiming Christianity was under attack. Thereafter, a faction of Ethiopian Christians attacked mosques, Muslims, and Muslim properties in the city of Harar and Dire Dawa.
In Harar, local authorities reported, two buildings were set ablaze while another 11 had their windows smashed, two cars were set on fire, and several properties were damaged; several of the properties and buildings belonged to Hararis. The loss of two lives was also reported. One of the lives lost, of the two, was a Harari man, Riad Hassan. After having lunch with his parents, for the last time, Hassan left taking his usual path, unaware of any conflict. Caught up in the confusion, Hassan was shot by police and died three days later."
