I asked the tour guy where are the HEROES of Oromos, Somalis, Ganbela, Hadiya, Gurage, Hereris...et cetera; he didn't like that and told me I have bad attitude! Ethiopia has long way to go before its people get equity.

Isn't it irony, thought, that you pretend to like OLF (your mortal enemy just months ago) and detest OPDO (the very organization you created and used as the trojan horse all along)! If the Amharas are trying to bring the old system where every thing in Ethiopia just reflects their culture, language and heritage-that is a dream that will never be materialized and we will fight them tooth and nail! Last time I visit Ethiopia I was so shocked to when I visited the museum in Addis/Finfine: every thing looked like, smelled like and walked like Amhara, that need to change and the country must reflect all ethnic groups that call it home!!

I stoped continue reading, because it just tells you worship Tigre generals and shouldn't be arrested no matter of what ever crime they commit!!

We are happy to be with Abiy. Incase You mis the news lately Abdi Iley is long gone and languishing in Oromo prison and no Tigre dared to pay him a visit.

Its a fact that ONLF members are 99+% from the Ogaden clan (soldiers plus their leaders); this tells its just a clan organization. Some debate that the name 'Ogadenia' was given to the region by the British; so what? If you refuse the Abysinian colonization, why are proudly accepting the name given to you by your other colonizer-the British?? Jidwaaq ooy Ogaadeen ilma Absame isle yihiinba ma rabaan ONLF, waa kuwan Jigjiga noo dhaafa leh!

Mark my words, I would rather be ruled by OROMO than ONLF (Ogaden). I will add my area to Oromia like Jarso did if ONLF runs the region! You wont have Ahmed Madobe decide my faith from Kismayo!!! We will never forget what Abdi Illey with his clan(Ogaden) militia aka Liyu Police did to our people!

The over majority of other clans prefer to be part of an Ethiopian federation with real democracy!

Amhara can even be 100% residents of the city, but that doesn't make you the owner of the city. Some parts of the city still bears the name of the Oromo clans your ancestors forcefully removed-eg Gullele. You can live the city peacefully while you're surrounded by the indigenous people. Addis depends on Oromo sources 100%, just look at where you get your water from!!!

Truth to be told, very few people in this world accomplished what he accomplished at that young age. He is the Che Guevara of the horn! Period. I know you are not gonna post this, but just read it yourself.

I see a lot of hope in PM Abiy and we are expecting from him to address the thousands of prisoners (crimes include posting a comment against Abdi Illey on FB) illegally held behind bars in Somali Kilil and let our people choose their leader and nobody should impose some illiterate, like Abdi Illey, person on us (the Tigre Generals chose Abdi Illey for us).

What is wrong if speaks his own language when he is addressing his own people? Afan Oromo is going to be an other official language soon and Addis will have 2 names soon- Addis Ababa and Finfine.
