What a british officer, sent to ethiopia in 1868, said about the wollo oromo clans!

is that why we chased away the same italians who colonized y'all?
is that why mostly oromo soldiers have to fight al shabab because you guys couldn't?
shall I go on?
lol just keep it to yourself oromo is nothing in the horn of africa you are so many yet so insignificant don't talk about somalis go take your independence from amhara and tigray
 
if there's millions of amharas, how many of them have you seen to come to this conclusion?

answer: you've made a stupid statement, and should think twice, nay, thrice; before generalizing!

I have eyes. Horta you need to have that hiniyo with amharas who are chopping off your women’s breast instead of ME.

Amharas are extremely short as are most Ethiopians.

If I said Mexicans are very short not a single Mexican would deny it. You Ethiopians are legit delusional.
 
we fought them independently, that alone is one of the major reasons ya’ll didn’t really get colonized And another part being that ya’ll are old christians.

however if we united there would never have been an ethiopia and that is a fact.


a large part of ethiopia's army then, and now, is Muslim.
secondly,
lol just keep it to yourself oromo is nothing in the horn of africa you are so many yet so insignificant don't talk about somalis go take your independence from amhara and tigray


yet... our brethren and other ethiopian troops roam your land at will, and your boss marehan our brother, allied with us, because he knows his country lacks the strength and unity, needed to counter al shabab and other threats.
think about that-emotions aside.
oromos are the center of the country, why would we need to secede? secession is for insecure minorities, not secure majorities. we can have the entire cake [oromia and the rest of ethiopia]too, not just a slice [oromia]- that's like telling a state of somalia, like puntland, to get independence from the marehan or others, when they can potentially rule the entire somalia!

This reply is cringe worthy. First of all you lot were invited by the late president Abdulahi Yusuf. Secondly we bashed You lot on multiple occasions. The last conquest you ran to the soviets because somali soldiers could see the city lights of addis ababa.

Just be glad we kept our religion, our prophet said (no exact quote) don't attack the habesha, only when they attack you.

This has saved you in the middle ages.
Eventhough you lot had an empire, you were competing with the independent somali city states. Competing with each not as an collective.

Take your propaganda somewhere else

1. Why would we be invited if somalis are the bravest, the best, and invincible- why not fight your own battles and not ask of us?

2. You invaded when we were fighting at least 10 rebel armies, and not to mention the instability within the ruling derg. It's like bragging about fighting someone who is already fighting 10 other men LOL not much to brag about, kind sir.

3. That's good, but Islam would not approve of you guys killing each other based on clans, would it? Be honest here. We're more peaceful, even with our many problems, despite being more diverse!

@Abba Sadacha don't waste your time on these people who have no knowledge on Horn of Africa history. You can say a lot of things about Oromo but their martial prowess is undeniable facts :nvjpqts:

Bruh we detroyed our air force by whooping your asses. The soviets helped ya'll, how many different soviet armies where present? 5 atleast.

If we did not intervene ethiopia would have been colonised by somalia. Said by the soviet dude bellow.

Stop lying to your self, you invited the portugese how many times. We asked the ottomans for little assistance and still maneged to whoop your ass. Till this day you lot eat raw meat because of mudane gurray.

Do you think that a poor country like somalia could afford to maintain colonization of a country tha dwarfs it in population and landmass? winning a war, that is short lived, is one thing; but permanently holding on to that country, which would inevitably go from conventional warfare to guerrilla warfare [the way Iraqi's did, the way the vietnamese did, etc], is an entirely different thing.
somalia would not have been able to afford it, especially with the various movements within somalia proper fighting siad barre.
then the oromos, OLF, and others who were also fighting mengistu led ethiopia, would've helped mengistu for the common goal/good...

ahmed gurrey fought for Islam, he had muslims of ethiopia behind him, he didn't fight for asabiya [nationalism]- to compare him to siad barre's war, siad barre a man who believed in changing Sharia to fit marxism, is a big, sick, joke bro!

Screw the Oromos.

They literally were enslaved by us.

They are pagans and work as our maids in our own countries.

They die in the Djiboutian desert and they drown in the Gulf Of Aden.

Get out of here with your propaganda..

How are they strong.The Somalis slain them.

Don’t debate the colonization part with me, it came from the soviets mouth debate it with them.

we were and are still not forgetting about the somali region. Aka western somalia, when your civil war pops galbeed will return to us. If i was in power i would help sudan and egypt by letting them use our airspace and our airports to move in the somali region and from sudan at the same time.

good luck this year and the following year if ethiopia survives.

This guy just quoted a fiction book and tried to present it as fact :russ:
View attachment 123851


Here is an exert from the book:


They don’t look at all negroid; indeed, the Ab females fit my notion of Cleopatra with their straight noses, chiselled lips, almond eyes, saucy shapes, and in many cases skins no darker than an Italian’s. They know how to preen, too, the Shoho women of the north in shell-embroidered black cloaks over tight leather tunics from bosom to thigh, jolly fetching, and the Galla girls of the south, reckoned the handsomest of all, their perfect faces framed by elaborate oiled braids plaited from crown to shoulder. Some go naked to the waist, with little aprons made of thongs, and by gad they can stand the exposure.

:dead:

It sounds like colonial fan-fiction.
 
This is a factual story of highlander Oromos.

The story of Oromo slaves bound for Arabia who were brought to South Africa

1591403777172.jpeg



In September 1888, the HMS Osprey serving in the Royal Navy’s anti-slave trade mission in the Red Sea, based in Aden, intercepted three dhows embarked from Rahayta and Tadjoura on the Ethiopia coast.

Aboard were 204 boys and girls bound for resale in Arabian markets. Other dhows with young human cargo were also apprehended. The children came from the highland area of Oromia Region of Ethiopia, and spoke the Oromo language.

They had been trekked as many as several hundred kilometres to the coast. The children were taken to Aden and, for a time, were housed and cared for at the Free Church of Scotland mission at Sheikh Othman.

The arrivals, however, were often too debilitated to withstand the harsh climate and prevalent malaria. In 1890, 64 of the survivors were transferred to the Free Church of Scotland’s Lovedale Institution, in Alice, a town in South Africa’s Eastern Cape.

lol at “we fought the rebels””we chased the Italians”

Listen Saddach no hard feelings but you were a nobody then and your more or less a nobody now you were getting chopped up by Habesha and when you weren’t your lorded over by a Gaal edition of yourself of course that wouldn’t stop you considering Gaal is literally another word for Oromo.

You are not viewed as brave because you were forcibly removed from Buale until Garba tulo Isiolo. You were put onto plantations and were quite literally forced into extinction the best part is this was xalal because those people were pagans and you couldn’t even make dua for them if you wanted.

I am soft with Somalis but I will not be soft on a guy who abtirsis too “Barentuma Wollo Jacko Wapo”:samwelcome:

@Removed I think the Italian invasion of Abyssinia was helped by Oromo that hated the Abyssinian state. The proAbyssinia Oromo should thank the British and their Northern Somaali fighters for ending the siccessful fascist conquest of Abyssinia
 
So much unnecessary vitriol against the Oromo.

Oromo are brave people and many of the Ethiopian kings were either Cushitic Agaw or Cushitic Oromo, Habeshized through baptism and adoption of the Habesh religion and culture.

However I wouldn’t want to be a minority among Oromo. We see how violent they are in Harar against Harari people. Forcefully marrying their women and trying to assimilate them by force.

Most Somalis view Oromo and Habesh as two sides of the same coin.
