“GETACHEW REDA
May 29, 2013
From Getachew Reda (Editor Ethiopian Semay)
In defense of my good friend Dr. Fikre Tolossa:
The Writer Ya Jemal is a good sample of self deluded fellow. We do not take this fellow as an Arab, but as an Ethiopian, because his name is Arabic name. There is no such thing as pure Oromo ethnicity/tribe. Readers, please do not worry if the writer calls us Abyssinians when the Ethiopians are called by United Nation and the world as Ethiopians. I am sure Abyssinia is or Gala is not an insult (no one yet came to argue with this with me with evidence. Gala and Oromo are both their classic names. Even OLF used the word ‘Gala’ on its writings after OLF established- I have argued several times, such is the creation of the OLF elites and the Meison/Derg elites who are Oromo to hypnotize their sick mind) . But, if someone calls this fellow or the Oromo people as “Gala’, they complained. I ask, why complaining? Who gave the OLF the right to call Ethiopians as Abyssinians when the OLF elites and their cults do not want to be called by their ancient name “the Gala people”, while they are calling with no restriction Ethiopians as Abyssinians!? Do you see my argument? If they call you as you do not want to be called, call them with the name they do not want to be called! As simple as that!
Now let me bring you to the argument. I support my friend and a good Ethiopian patriot Dr. Fikre Tolossa on his recent article. A Good Ethiopian and a good Pan Africanist! But, the OLF fellow who has no substance to argue against Dr.Fikre is an elementary in his analysis. Not only ignorant, but also suffering with a self denial. For example, you might know who the the Solomon Islands are; these islanders are originally from Africa immigrated there during the ancient world. Theses people are very dark-skinned. But many of them have blond hair, something that has puzzled scientists for years. We can’t deny they are not black, because they have blond hair. At the same time we can’t deny OLF is not African, because it speaks African language with Latin alphabet or Oromo with a different skin pigments (BeTam Tikur, Tikur, Key, Yekey Dama…) Let this deluded writer call himself ‘Kush’, that is even more finer, if at all the OLF believe in Bible/ since bible belongs to the Ethiopians (but why then any OLF cult doesn’t believe he/she is an Ethiopian citizen, so why going to the bible to prove now their Kushetic origin, if OLF give the bible to the Christians not to the pagan OLF, who OLF believe Oromo people’s religion do not believe in the bible- why running to the bible to see if there is Oromo words in the bible- PLEASE DO NOT LAUGH!). The issue is who are the Kush? Is the meaning of kush black? We can argue this. Who can argue with me Kush means “black”. Who and what does Negede kam in the Ethiopian language means?
Some four years back I read an argument by the name Habte, who said, I will be surprised if any Oromo at this century believe he/she is pure Oromo.Here is what he wrote;- There is nothing called Oromo tribe/ethnicity but of different indigenous tribes speaking oromo language. Its like Americans speaking English however in terms of ethnicity/ancestor people with English ancestors are less than 10%, while Germans having the largest ancestors (20%), followed by Irish (15%) and Africans (12%). Almost all Americans speak only English but they all don’t have English ancestor !!
For some of you who got the opportunity to travel across several provinces of Ethiopia, you can easily observe that there is a vast difference in terms of color, physical appearance, culture, wedding ceremonies, dialect, accent, tradition, music and dance across all zones of Oromia. This is totally against my experience across the zones of Amhara and Tigray state. In fact When it comes to Amharas and Tigrays, although they are classified as separate ethnicitys, I found them to be more similar than a Shoa Oromo compared with borana and Guji Oromo or Hararghe with Wellega Oromo. Interms of collor Shoa Oromos are much more light skinned than Borana. The Boranas looks more to the dark skined Hamer & Konso. This is also against the somali ethnic group, inhabiting across the 4 countries of horn of Africa, with area of 3 times more than Oromia. All the Somalis are the same in all terms, however this does not work for the Oromos
Except language similarities the Oromos leaving in the old 9 provinces are so much different in all other terms. Does the wollo Oromo’s color, physical appearance, culture, wedding ceremonies, dialect, accent, tradition, music and dance has similarity with showa or Borana Oromo? How about Arussi with neighboring Hararghe? How about Guji Oromo with neighboring Borana Oromo? How about the Muslim Jimma Oromos with Muslim Bale Oromos?? How about Wellega Oromo with Hararghe Oromo??? How about Orma of Kenya with Showa Oromo???? Between these groups there is nothing similarity except language and this was because of interaction and mixing with the indigenous people of this provinces that used to leave 500 years ago
Some important factors for the Oromos to outnumber the indigenous peoples and assimilate them throughout the past 500 years were:
- All Oromo men from their childhood were trained to be highly skilled warriors. As a result they were able to subjugate, dominate and assimilate all their neighboring tribes
- Concubines: oromos used to marry as many women as they can, most wives being stolen/abducted from neighboring tribes
- Gudi fecha: until recently the oromos are known to steal children, captive from war and raise them as their own. As a sign of prosperity on average one Oromo man is expected to have 50-100 children, majority being stolen from neighboring tribes. Taking this into account it can be said that the oromo population was growing by 100% per 1 generation, while indigenous tribes were growing by may be negative since their children and women were stolen. So this means for every 100 person there are 10 pure oromo persons, the rest 90 being either stolen or children of the concubines from the indigenous tribes. When this system continuous from generation to generation the share of the pure Oromos will decline to below 1-5%
