The Railroad issue: The Tail end of Alfred Ilg’s services

Alfred Ilg met Sahle Silasse in Liche in January 1879 and left Abyssinia 1906, seven years before syphilis killed Menelik in 1913. He came to the most primitive barbaric Abyssinia ruled by brigands (Sheftans) arose at the end of the so-called “Zemenemesafnt.” The era that extends to a century of butchery and chaos designated as human locust to the infantry militias led bybrigands (Sheftans) that preyed on the resources of the local victimized population to the extent nothing remained edebile for the families, especialliy the children.

He came as a mechanical engineer, signed two years of contracts with an annual salary of five thousand francs to work for Menelik. He traveled with two Swiss citizens, Appenzeller (Woodworker) and Zimmermann (Mechanic). They had a long journey that took about seven months to arrive at their destiny from Zurich to Abyssinia. At the time, the bumptious propagandas of rose in Europe, a civilized, humane and generous to bring their civilization to the  “uncivilized world” that waiting so long in the dark until Europe brings light wherever her she footholds.

But, facts and reality checks speaks the opposite,  It was the preparedness to invade, exterminate, slave, exploit the world she called “uncivilized” via seas and oceans, and occupy, forever exploit resources that she in desperately needed to survive and develop. She had almost over five centuries of experiences in doing so at the time Alfred Ilg was born and grown up. He came with the same mission of bringing “civilization” nothing was especial indeed from his fellow Europeans who actively engaged with handling and smuggling firearms and ammunitions from Europe to Africa and Asia. Alfred Ilg obtained an entry visa the titled; Railroad construction from Finfinne to Somalia coast in the horn of Africa. One of the most primitive, barbaric warlords terra known as Habesha or Abyssinia (the terms are a synonym).It was the Swiss company, named Esher and Furrer who had a storehouse in the British settlement of Aden (Yemen), whom Menelik commissioned, found Alfred Ilg for Sahle Maryam. Alfred knows Fureer in Zurich who further arranged their journey from Zurich to Abyssinia. The company was recognized as a transit, handles, and storages of Firearms, Ammunitions and Cos. from Europe, and transit for plundered, Looted objects, historical artifacts, symbols, exploited resources, slaves, etc, from Africa and Asia. At the mean time, it was a transit route of Alfred Ilg and his two college’s journey to Abyssinia.

Alfred Ilg served Menelik (a rubber black Leopold II of Belgium Congo) of Abyssinia about three decades without pause. He began as a technician in repairing nd maintaining firearms, ammunition, building roads, bridges, houses, inspector, and constructor. In the area of administration, he served as secretary, interpreter, advisor, protocol chief, recruiter.He rose to the level of the Minister of all, nicknamed Superminister. As hander smuggled firearms,  ammunitions , bullets and patron fabrics, gunpowder and corresponding materials, ingredients and machines etc. He obtained all awards what Menelik had to offer. From domestic Mule to wild Zebra to Bitweded, “Councillor of the state with excellence status.”

Thus, the real difficult question to find an answer to it is not what and where he provided the services, but what and where did he not. As it was thoroughly explored in previous parts, Indeed, Menelik without Alfred Ilg can be considered, a blind man who lost his stick, or without a guide. Without Alfred Ilg, one of the primitive, barbaric, predatory empire known with stolen name the con. “Ethiopia” could never exist on this Planet with her contemporary demarcation on the global map.

To have the complete picture of the world of politics during Alfred’s and Menelik’s mutual intermarriage of interests, it is essential to have a birds eye view of the geopolitical importance of the horn of Africa at the global stage, and the preparedness, the coming of the resourceless, avaricious, moral and ethicless Europeans. The kindling point, where thirteen European head of states; Aristocrats who butchered each other throughout their history, come together in Berlin for the first time and signed the consensus to slice Africa as a piece of cake: The scrambling for Africa began in earnest. As by-product  aüice of turf between the Red Sea and the River Abaayaa (the River Nile) called Abyssinia was left to act as a puppet for all participants with interests in her of the Berlin conferences. No single individual African or representative was part of it. Abyssinia warlords rose in the region at that period fulfill the given roles by European colonizers. As a result,  dependent “Quasi-Abyssinia–state” was invented in the horn of Africa.

The significance of the horn of Africa at global arena: then and now

As a gate to three continents, most specifically to Africa, red sea and its coasts played a significant role in human civilization then and now. European colonizers computed to gain a foothold on the Islands around the Red Sea, as a transit to the hinterland of the African continent. France bought Obock (the northern shore of the Gulf of Tadjoura, Djibouti) in 1862, and later on established the small administrative center, as a point of departure for further colonial expansion she dreamed. To facilitate her colonial dream she intended to build a railway to join Djibouti, the far eastern coast of the African continent to far West Africa, Dakar-Senegal. Her classical rival, Britain had already established an Imperial station in Yemen known as the Aden settlement in 1839. From Aden, she garrisoned the so-called British Somaliland. Britain also occupied Cairo in 1882 and Cape Town in 1806. She had also a dream to join Cape Town with Cairo and build Railroad popularly known Cecil Rhodes plan (the genocider of Africans under his occupation).

Thus, the idea of railroad construction in Abyssinia was invented, designed by France, as a prestige to dominate her sphere of political influence on the warlords rose in the region specifically on Sahle Maryam who was known as “the boy of France.” Leon Chefneux, a France citizen was responsible from France side, as Alfred was in Menelik’s side. Both, Leon Chefneux and Alfred Ilg were long years of business partners in all sphere from a clay pot to gold, experts in smuggling Firearms, Ammunitions, and co. for decades that acted as bridges between Europe and the horn of Africa especially with Menelik. Britain and Italy were also equally active with similar plans and strategies and intrigues played in shaping the region. They also had their own boys among rival warlords arose in Abyssinia proper correspondingly and representatives in charges from Rome and London.

Railways were used efficiently since Bismarck’s era, as the fastest transport vehicles on land at that period to connect the far periphery to the center of control and resource exploitation, military transport, etc. For instance, one of the most known beneficiaries from African content by using Railroad at that period was Leopold II of the Belgium Congo; the genocider of Congolese; the rubber Black Death as it was called. The analogy made was the notoriously know as Black death was a disease called plague caused by the bacterial agent known as Yersinia pestis that succumbed one-third of the European population in middle ages alone. Leopold did not only exploit rubber but also copper, radium, diamond, gold from one of the richest part of the heart of the African continent.

Engineering Intelligence test: according to Menelik’s know-how

As Alfred Ilg and Leon Chefneux presented their design to construct the Railway from Finfinne to Somalia coast to get a consensus from Menelik in February 1893, they got the shock of their life on that day. Menelik order and arrested Alfred Ilg and Leon Chefneux. He kept them in a small hut, solitary confinement plausibly built by Alfred Ilg, and guarded by Menelik’s “Zebenyas,” gun carriers (Ashkers). And,the guns were provided by both predominate firearm smugglers Alfred Ilg and Leon  Chefneux to Menelik pre-eminently beside ranges of hide-outs local or foreign weapon smugglers.

One may imagine what was going on in the mind of someone who was awarded as “Bitweded,” recognized as a son, sworn and devoted to giving all that he can. And most importantly he served as a loyal servant for the last solid sixteen years. without pause since his arrival in 1878 to the day of solitary confinement. Someone who considered him as “Father figure.” Furthermore, it was Alfred who brought Sahle Maryam from nomadic Zagol, outlaw and robbery life to one man empire. Alfred Ilg built a permanent new settlement in Finfinne, in the Umbilical cord of Tuulamaa Highland by evicting Autochtonous Oromos from their ancestral soil turned them to Slaves, Serfs, Homeless, and settled by Neftanya’s. Furthermore, he was an architect and the brain, promoter of the invasion campings against the whole south, actively participated in a series of campaigns mobilized by Menelik’s “Hagermaqnat whereas” project. To fulfill his master obligations he traveled seven times, brought back all materials, firearms, equipment for construction and building patron and gun powder fabric, Menelik’s advocate in foreign relations, united the aliens of the north under one person controlled byMenelik for the first time in the Habesha history.

What was more surprising was that Alfred Ilg gave the name Menelik to his son and further recognized him as the “Ye Kiristina abat/the father of baptism One can imagine the extent of intimacy by naming his son after the father of genocider, ethnoicder and a gruesome actor of Harma dubartii muraa (the chopper of Females Breast, Harkaa fi Miila muraa (the chopper of Arms and Legs of men) that indicates the deep-seated habeshanaization of the spin engineer Alfred Ilg ,with  a conservative protestant Swiss upbringing. No better evidence be claimed to be proved right than this. Nevertheless, both were jailed

On the other side, what was going on in the mind of a demon Menelik Why did He jailed them? and What did he want to do with them next; a little quiz ? knowing the relationships between Alfred Ilg and Menelik from previous writings, let you make a little pause, a break for a minute from further reading. Make some brain jogging on the issues of why and the what questions, and notice down all possible answer that came into your mind and finally you will compare with what he really did with the engineers kept in the isolated hut in the coming part soon. Did the engineers trusted the untrusty warlord?.

The idea behind the quiz was thought to ferret out primarily how much we know about the aliens of the north honestly, and then to understand the basic behavior and mannerism of the Abyssians nature of upbringing that one must know independent of time. As a saying:The fish rots down from head to tail, not the reverse.” If every there were/are change, then the worst from generation to generation of the Neftanyas; settler Habeshas in occupied colonized south as a whole. Besides to that there are more and more vultures

flying to the heart of Oromland from every corner of the globe within days and hours than ever, whereas during Alfred era it took at least six months,no flying objects.

Compare the current Tigrean lead-gangsters groups of today’s “ Melesawiyan and Menilikawiyan” called “hagermalmat and hagermaqnat ”policies respectively, planned systemic genociders and ethnociders to reduce the Indigenous people to half deploying every means the have since they come to power in summer 1991, and cling to it till they kicked out or die. Indeed that was exactly what Menelik did.

The scrambling of our ancestral soil as pieces of cakes and evicting our people and Leasing to a selfish, moral and ethicless states and companies worldwide are facts of the daily business of the tyrants. Before going straightforward to the answer, to the Why he put them in jail and what is he going to do with them, some more important facts from Menelik side in relation to the railroad construction project and the knowledge of the engineers about Menelik and the establishment of one-man empire may shed more light on the issue and must be explored thoroughly.

Menelik and his Wife was allergic to the railway project

The main reason why the Swiss and Abyssinians, contemporary “Ethiopians” consider Alfred Ilg as the “cultural ambassador” and still celebrate it indeed was nothing, but to hide the crimes conducted during his three decades of unlimited services. Alfred Ilg was the mastermind, the minister of all, the mentor of the invaders, genociders, and ethociders of Menelik and his hordes. As a result, the empire of Menelik was expanded twenty-seven times to the size of Switzerland, five to six times from her original size.

Switzerland profited from it thanks to Alfred Ilg by selling firearms, ammunitions, its accessories, machines and explosive chemicals, and various industrial products to Abyssinia of Menelik. From Abyssinia in return all looted, stolen, plundered, historical artifacts, cultural objects, agricultural cash crops such as coffee, animal products hides, tusk, mineral resources such as gold, the lists go on exploited from the occupied, and secured territories of the south during “Hagermaqant were” by Menelik hordes were “officialized”and shipped back to the heaven for all exploited material to Switzerland and the rest of Europe. Thus, no wonder if the call him not a cultural ambassador but the Colombo’s of Swiss so far profits were, and still are what finally counts, so far the dirty job of plundering were conducted indirectly by the offspring of divers and invaders, the Abyssinians/Habeshas hordes of Menelik. They were both, mutual profiteers from scrambled lands of the south from Abyssinia proper.

In fact, Menelik was allergic to the railway issue from the very begging, and most importantly his wife Taitu, “his brain” was totally against the railroad construction project followed by the local Warlords, the Shums, the Aleqas, the Debteras, etc, who were in staunch opposition to the construction of the railway. Even there was a warning from one of the warlords that stated: “We shall wait till the white men finished it and destroy it.”

Menelik as an underdog of Yohanis knew that his King, Yohanis forbid railroad construction in his occupied territory proposed by Britain. He also knew that General R. Napier of Britain used railways to mobilize his soldiers from the Asian parts of colonial territories to the read sea coasts for rescue missions of six British captives under Tewodros control. Thus, the railroad plans were considered by Abyssinian settlers as the road of invasion by the European colonizers, and a plan to take away the empire that Menelik already had gained and found in preparedness for further expansion under the motto of “Hagermaqnat.”

What Menelik, indeed desperately needed was modern European firearms, ammunitions, advisors, financiers, etc as his embittered rival, Yohanis IV. Yohanis of Tigre had Swiss Miltary trainer, adviser, a Swiss citizen named Gunner Louis, and had the strongest armed and trained soldiers in the region. Sahle Maryam was weak and the underdog of Yohanis. Thus, his first dream and objective were how to get rid of Yohanis that Menelik presented himself, half-naked, carried stone on his shoulder, walked barefoot and bowed in front of Yohanis feet. After being pardoned he paid an immense amount of attributes from powders, “duuqeet,” to slaves, live domestic animals, etc. He dreamed of finding a person like Gunner who will act as a bridge between Europe and himself. Swiss citizen was very active in this arena. Having an advantage of the political coat or envelope called “Neutral State.”(See Part 1). Menelik sought to get a person from Swiss, so to say, “Gunner II.”

Finally, Alfred Ilg was found to be the perfect match for his services. Menelik found “Gunner II” of his own. Now the offspring of divers and invaders the refugees who settled within the north-eastern Tuulama Gosaas (branches) of Oromos, Sahle Maryam’s dream was going to be realized in the decades to come.The railroad construction contract that was signed in 1878 must not come as an issue if at all it was an issue for Menelik. Never the less after being buried for one-and-half decades, It came to be an issue to be awakened and reconsidered in May 1893. For Alfred Ilg, the railroad construction contract signed for two years can be considered simply an entry visa. For his services, he became almost all namings, awards what Menelik had to offer, each time he comes back from Europe with full packed ship with firearms and ammunition, personal gifts, utensils almost what Menelik needed, most importantly material to make bullet, gunpowder, patron fabrics, explosives and dynamites, etc, to Abyssinia of Menelik. In the next parts, an attempted will be made to accomplish, the topic titled as The Awful truth of Alfred Ilg firearm smuggler: the Bitweded of “Menelik II” in exploring the subtitles listed below:

• Alfred Ilg’s knowledge about Menelik and one man Empire

• The Answer to the quiz; why the engineers were jailed

• Menelik’s, unbelievable behaviors, dramas and its consequences on Alfred Ilg and his project after the consensus railroad construction was signed by Menelik

Baatii lamaan tokko dura dubbii basaasutummaa Girmaa Xurunaatiin irratti odeessa deemaa ture namuu ni yaadata. Warri ABO Shanee wayta sanatti dhimma nama kanaa irratti maa ibsa kennuu didan jedhamanii yeroo gaafataman ‘Girmaa Xurunaa nama jedhamu hin beeynu’ jechuu turani. Har’a garuu bakka riphanii turanii dammaqanii ibsa ‘miseensota qofaaf’ jedhame, garuu kan duruu dirree guutee aduu qaqqaamate baasanii jiru. Ibsa Waajjira Hayyu Duree irraa kenname kana anis akkuma nama tokkoo internet irraa argadhee dubbiseen jira. Dubbisee garuu callisee bira dabruu hin dandeenye. Kijibaa fi afanfaajjii hedduutu keessa jira. Kanas akka armaan gadiitti tuttuquun yaala.

1) Ibsa kana keessatti keeyyatni xiyyeeffannoo koo harkise kan duraa akkas jedha. “Tokkummaa qabsaawotaa fi ummata keenyaa laaffisuuf, wal shakkisiisuu fi wal afaan deebisuuf diinni tooftaalee gara garaatti dhimma baha. Waan hin jirre uumee olola farra ABO fi farra QBO bittinneessa. Olola diinaa kan akkasiif gurra ergisuun ittiin afanfaajja’uu fi goolamuun fedhii diinaa guutuu dha. Haala kana fakkaatuun uumamee ololli gidduu dabre kana qalbii ummataa fi miseensota keenyaas hawataa ture irratti gara Dhaabaatiin waan miseensotni beekuu qaban beeksisuun barbaachiseera. Kunis waa’ee Girmaa Xurunaa (GX) ti.” Hubadhaa! Waa’ee basaastummaa Girmaa Xurunaa kan irraa laalatee dubbataa ture joollee Oromoo inni hiisise, reebisee fi ukkaamsise, akkasumas aktiivistoota Oromoo qabsoo keenyaaf qooda olaanaa gumaachuun ummata biratti beekamanii dha. Dhimmi namicha kanaa Oromoo boquu cabsee Habashoota gammachiise. Kanaafuu dhimma kana irratti kulkulfatee kan dubbataa ture numa qabsaayotaa fi deeggartoota qabsichaa ti malee diina miti. Dhugaan jiru kana tahee osoo jiruu, ABOn Shaneen duula ilmaan Oromoo mooraan qabsoo keenyaa xaliilawuu qaba jechuun duulan walitti qabee ‘OLOLA DIINAA’ ittiin jedhe. Sanuu sabboontotaa Oromoo karaa danda’an hundaan qabsoo kana keessatti qooda cululuqaa gumaachanii addunyaa ajaa’ibsiisaa jiraniif tuffii qabaachuu irraa ‘ibsa’ isaanii miseensota isaanii lakkoofsa qubaa qofaaf godhan.

2) Keeyyanni biraa tokko immoo akkas jedha. “GX miseensa jaarmayaa dargaggoota Oromoo biyya keessaa akka ture, deemsa keessa warra waliin hojjetan wajjin wal dhabuu, warri wal dhaban kanneen gara lachuutuu harka diinaa bu’uu fi hiraarfamanii gadi lakkifamuu, tokko kaan saaxilee akka hiisisetti wal shakkuu fi adda fagaataa deemuu fi wal injifachuuf olola wal irratti oofuun akka ture Dhaabni quba qaba.” Ajaa’iba! ABO Shaneen dhimma kanarratti nama Girmaa Xurunaa jedhamu hin beeknu, hariiroo hojii tokkos waliin hin qabnu jechaa hin turree?

Nama kaleessa miseensummaa isaa waakkatan har’a ibsa irratti kennuun maalf barbaachise?

3) Bakka bu’oota Qeerroo warri jedhaman gara miidiyaa Shaneetin Girmaan Qeerroo waliin hariiroo homaatuu hin qabu hin jennee? Namni maqaan hin dhahamin kan wayta sanatti Qeerroon bakka bu’a ofiin jedhu tokko paltalk irratti dhihaatee kana hin dubbannee?

Namni kaleessa ‘hogganni qeerroo’ hin beeku jedhe har’a akkamiin ‘daraggoota wajjiin hojjataa ture’ jedhama?

4) Ibsi amma miseensotaaf ergame kun ” Battaluma wal-dhabbichi dhalatee fi wal himatuun jalqabametti furuuf qaamni suduudaan hojichi ilaalu qorannoolee geggesse” jedha. Battalli kun yoomi? Girmaa Xurunaa basaasa ta’uun shakkamee waajjira Hayyu dureef kan gabaafame bara 2014 keessa ta’uu namuu beeka. Maarree qorannoon kun Waggaa lama fudhate jechuudhaa? Moo hanga gaafa VOAn saaxila baaseetti waajjirri hayyu duree hin beeku ture? Moo koreen qorannoo kun erguma VOAn gabaasee dhaabbate?

5) Ibsi kun ‘waldhibdee warra wajjiin hojjatan keessatti uumameen’ jedha. Bakka bu’oonni Qeerroo nama kana hin beeknu jechaa akkamiin isa waliin waldhibdee godhatu? Girmaan basaasa ta’uu warra waliin dalagu qofa osoo hin taane kanneen inni mana hidhaatti guursisetu ragaa baha. Namoota inni hiisise keessaa kan gonkumaa san dura isaan wal hin beekne, kan dhaabni biyya ollaatii bobbaasee isaan akka walqunnaman godhe hedduudha. Nama dura walhin beekneen Girmaan akkamiin waldhabuu danda’a?

6) Gabaasni koreen qorannoo “ragaan tokko faarsee kaan ammoo kan hammeessu of keessatti waan aammateef haala shakkii hin qabneen murtii dhumaa irra geessisuu hin dandeenye” jedha. Qorannoon kun Girmaa Xurunaa basaasa ta’uu kan alaan himaamaa ture keessaan akka mirkaneesse shakkin hin jiru. Hayyu Dureen garuu gabaasa koree qorannoo ofii dhaabes fudhtama dhabsiisee jira. Komii dargaggoota Girmaan hiisisee waggoota lamaa oliif gurra itti cufatee, iyya ummanni baatii lamaan dabre kana dhageessise tuffatee, amma ammoo bu’aa qorannoo koree miseensa Gumii Sabaatin hogganamteetuu fudhachuu dide. Kana jechuun ragaafi yaada nama hundaa didee kan Girmaa Xurunaa qofa fudhate jechuudha.

7) Murtiin hayyu dureen amma dabarse jedhu Girmaa Xurunaa hojiirra dhaabne kan jedhuudha. Mee tarkaanfii hayyudureen fudhate kana sirritti haa laallu. Gaafa waggaa lama dura Girmaan basaasa ta’uu itti gabaafamu, gabaasa saniin soba jedhee Girmaaf loogee badii isaa itti fufsiise. Gaafa dubbiin gara VOA ifa bahee Girmaan nama qabsiisuu ragaan namaa fi barreeffama mana murtii itti as bahu, Girmaan ABO fi Qeerroo waliin hariiroo tokkollee hin qabu jedhe. Amma gaafa koreen inni mataa isaatiin dhaabe waan ummanni Girmaa irratti dhiheesse mirkaneessu, gabaasa koree kanaatis fudhatama dhabsiise. Maarree jarana Hayyu duree malee namni hundi Girmaa Xurunaa basaasa ta’uu irratti waliif galee jira. Hayyu dureen maalif ejjannoo addaa fudhate?

Kan nama raaju, ABOn Shanee nama hoggansa isaanii irraa abdii muratee jaarmayaa Oromoo biraatti dabalamu yookiis dhunfaadhaan diina afoo dhaabbatee qabsoo Oromoof gumaachu ‘gantuu’ fi maarree maarree jechuun maqaa xureessa.

Part VI

By Odaahora

Alfred Ilg’s knowledge about Menelik from Zagol to one man Empire

There were no a best Habeshalzed Ferje “white,” a European citizen and influential as Alfre Ilg in Abyssinian history at all. He was not only a master of Firearm smuggler, a staunch advocate in foreign affairs who systematically replaced Italy, but also a more fanatic, and a brain of  Menelik’s territorial expansion and aggrandizement policy toward the south  He knew the Habeshas or Abyssinians deep to the bone marrow. were in.He self-thought their language very fast, no books, no teachers were available, illiteracy, hundred-to-hundred. He studied their “myth and fables.” He lived within them and served half of his life in all spheres  of Menelik of Abyssinian affairs.

He provided all that Menelik dreamed for his territorial expansion and aggrandizement toward the south, and get it all from what were needed singularly from one person Alfred Ilg and named him “Bitweded.” The Europeans who were active in Abyssinia to gain their own share called Alfred Ilg a “burden of white men.” While, to see Menelik with naked eye let alone to make deals, without Alfred Ilg’s permission and knowledge was virtually impossible, that was why Alfred Ilg’s hut in Gaara Xixaa (Intootoo Moutain) was turned to the hubs of Europeans to find the indirect way to deal whatever business it may with Menelik.

Antonelli of Italy who has a long period of deals with Menelik sued Alfred Ilg, not only as a Firearm smuggler indeed but also as the mastermind who invented the must and the can modal verbs fiasco of the treaty of Waachaale years later. In fact, Menelik how were the underdogs of the embittering murderer warlords arose in the region.Thus he had not dreamed, let alone to combat Europeans; Italy. He had signed it with gratitude, and in return, Italy provided him with immense Firearms and money credits in Millions. Antonelli embittered and alleged that Alfred Ilg hijacked the Waachaale treaty of protectorate signed between Menelik and Italy. Alfred Ilg who translated the document written in Rome to Amharic who invented the must and the can modal verbs fiasco and played the games step by step to his own advantages and influences from time time. Alfred Ilg of Swiss citizen  become a staunch advocate of Menelik in foreign relations official who  kicked out Italy:the protectorate of Menelik’s Abyssinia and hijacked it. One must bear in mind, an individual without his states backing cannot be different than any individual Europeans who served Menelik in various professional disciplines, such as physicians or cartographers or others. Thus, Alfred Ilg with Swiss state’s backing can not be so influential and determinate factor of Abyssinia.

Alfred knew Abyssians from baggers from the streets who circled his house each and every morning that he was finally fed up to see them to higher ranking Abuna’s in the church. He was a best friend of Abuna Mathewos who crowned Sahle Maryam and gave the name “Menelik II” adapted to the myth of Menelik I of Solomon and Saaba;the signature of self-denial that they still celebrate. Alfred Ilg also knew from house slaves, while he holds over fifty to hundreds who built his house, provided all for his livings given to him by Menelik. He also used slaves  to build a permanent residence for Menelik and his Neftanya infantries,  followed him, the new coming settlers, stone-paved streets, houses, bridges and later on the bumptiously propagated railroad construction, “Civilization torch”  etc. in Finfinne. He knew  his predatory nomadic Zagol life. He knew the evicted indigenous people from Finfinne where he set a stone to be the capital site of Menelik and the center of control and mobilization by the settlers; gun carriers, “the Neftenanys ” warlords leaders followed Menelik. The time the exodus of the aliens of the north  began in earnest toward the south. They conducted genocides, ethnocides  versus the south with firearms and ammunition provided from Europe that holds true to the very date.

Alfred Ilg came to a barbaric, primitive region, where Sheftas (bandits), robberies, cattle raiding, stealing whatever come on their way were their means of life.He knew that they were butchering each other for centuries without pauses. Outlawed acts were the only way to climb and hold power, the behavior that has never ever changed, a cockpit of every settler brigands of the aliens of the north:the Habeshas, con. ‘Ethiopia’ that the world has witnessed.and still do to the current tyrants who cling to power, sworn to do so to their burial or to their last minute flight if they succeed;the fate of all tyrants in human history in general, a signature for Abyssinia.

Alfred and Leon Chefneux; his partner indeed knew very well about the behavior, mannerism and gruesome acts of the Abyssinians history versus the otherness; the natives or the foreigners. Most importantly, the number of Europeans killed, at least since the era of the coming of Portuguese, missioners, expeditions who were, jailed, killed, captured in various times and places in the region. Werner Muzinger, the Swiss citizen killed in 1875 was a recent past fact that both engineers were warned before their journey to the primitive, barbaric region of Abyssinia in the horn of Africa: Muzinger served as joint British and French consul at Massawa parallel to handles and trade who traveled between the Red Sea and Cairo. Both of the arrested engineers had also destined to witness the gruesome acts of Menelik and his hordes during “hagaermaqnat werera” invasion and expansion. Most importantly, Alfred Ilg was not only a mastermind organizer and unifier of Abyssians under one umbrella, controlled , one man, Menelik. He personally participated actively in the creation of one of the barbaric, primitive empires in the Africa continent. They both knew and saw chopped legs and arms of men of Arsi, and chopped breasts of women. They knew from, captured men and women, raped women, sold as animals, they knew from burnt houses and properties of unarmed civilian populations.

To add an insult to injury, they took out of the continent stolen, plundered, boots, properties of the conquered people of the south from a clay pot to Kings Crown and Chair, Gold, Coffee,Civet, Tusks, etc. Thus in a circumstance where they were without a shadow of doubt unwillingly automatical rings in their mind, extrapolates, rewind back in monologs and dialogs fashion engages the engineers in small dirty Hut, in the hottest month of the summer season in February (Guraandhla) in Finfinne. For certain, that is the way the healthy human brain works. In reverse, good services especially Alfred Ilg gave, and in return awards, namings he gained at this spot and the mind considers that was the activities of past, a snow from yesterday, It didn’t help at this minute. The worst of all as it was described was that they had no clue of why they were jailed? and what was going to happen with them next, their final fate?

Once at the time, it worths to remind that both engineers also knew the health status of Shale Maryam and Xaayitu (Tay(i)tu). Menelik was infected with syphilis; a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the Spirochete special arts of bacteria called Treponema pallidium  already at very younger ages diagnosed by his European physicians like Dr. Joseph Vilajien. From Habesha side his Debteras and Abunas, the Witch Doctors of Abyssinians also “diagnosed” by reading his Horoscopes and “digmet” alleged to know that Menilk’s infertility blaming “evil spirit”as a causative agent. The Debteras of  Menelik’s plausibly recommended drinking “Haraki” house made alcohol, as a broad spectrum “Antibiotic” of Abyssinian to treat him from syphilis. As a result, Menelik and his wife were turned alcoholic which the  engineers knew. one can see facial bloating, fattening, disfiguration and cellulitis of the face of Xaayitu’s and Menelik’s photos, typical classical clinical symptoms and effects of regular alcohol consumption and abuses.

Why did Menelik jail the engineers and what comes next

Coming back to solve the quiz from previous writing (Part V). Why did Menelik order to jail Alfred Ilg and his Friend Leon Chefneux? What crime did they commit? and What was he going to do with them next?

If you did not find the nearest answer to the quiz asked for the lists you noticed on a piece of paper or stored in your virtual mind, there are  no need of shaking your head. So to say that you thought that you knew and knows, who the Habeshas were, and whom they are, and the way their brain ticks. Because your thought was logical, rational, the way health mind works. Stimulus or information received, stored in the long or short memory of human brain extrapolates, analyzes, sorts the facts from fictions and give the results. But, what Menelik did had neither logical, rational or healthy, no one can understand unless one suffers from schizophrenia or drunk indeed.

Paul Hartlmaier, the Author of the book: Amba Ras: Eine Reise Durch Das Kaiserriesch Äthiopien, published in 1953, Frankfurt am Main,  courtesy to the author described what exactly happened on that day in the dirty, hot Hut the were jailed. A thunder falls on the two Ferengi on that day that leaves its scar life long. After keeping the engineers in isolated dirty hot Hut, guarded with his Zebenya’s, (gun carriers), Menelik gave an order through his Askers (servicemen) to the engineers to make a pair of shoes within twenty-four hours, providing them with Hides, Knife, Thread and Awl as a raw materials and tools to make pair of Shoes. Slap in the faces of the white engineers! One can Imagine, what a shock may have his sordid acts induced in the minds of the “civilization missioners” and what was going on in their mind. The engineers who called him;“his Majesty the King of the King.” In fact, the knew that Menelik, Smallpox spotted rubber black skin warlord, primitive murderer, cattle raider, slave entrepreneur, barbaric genocider and ethnocider who has no comparative African-born person in the history of the African continent.That must indeed be the uncomfortable truth that should rings in their mind at this circumstance. May he acts like Tewodros who captured six British citizens that led to war or the worst option they may be killed like the others , and there was no grant for not to be killed at this minute. In other words, so far Abyssinians nature of cultural upbringings, norms, behavior, manners, etc, were well known within and in abroad in treating the others, like chopping Arms and Legs of Men, killing by hanging, her standard signature in her “history” to the very date. As an Oromo adage:Booftii fi raachi hama gannii darbutii walfan jiraatu.”

Once the order and the time were fixed, The fate of the Engineers would be decided within the coming twenty-four. The next second shock prevailed from where to start to make the shoes. As a reminder, an Engineer in Menelik’s know-how was a man who can all, and Alfred Ilg had adjusted himself to it during his decades of his service and gave all. Thus, why not he orders them to make a pair of shoes be proofed, and reproofed, for their engineering know-how, according to Menelik’s intelligence test.

The question that was still left unanswered by any standards of, any person with healthy mind was what did a rubber black demon; Menelik, who can not read and write his own language wanted the European engineers to prove? Does railroads were constructed of animal hides in the world of Menelik, and as a whole what was all about this farce?

Whatever the hell was going in the hut at the spot, so far  there was no alternative for the captive fernjes except searching the way out of the jail, or the hell. Looking at what they possess at hand, they must begin someway, somehow, and from somewhere else, the time was ticking against them. They finally began to take off their own shoes to win the profile and trim the hides, and worked on it for the whole night without sleeping, sweating like a pig in the hot summer season in Finfinne in the dirty small hut.

The next day both the engineers presented their shoe to be judged by Menelik and public audience. One can easily image, how many were they in number. Although the shoes were not elegant, Menelik accepted it smiling, what a relief for the engineers, they passed Menelik’s Intelligent Test and he signed the consensus of railway construction contract on 14th February 1892 (Yekatit 5, 1885 in Coptic Calender). Once the consensus signed by Menelik the engineers must search for the company to finance their project. Three years later, in January 1896 the Duparchy &Vigouroux Company signed the deal with a price of hundred thousand francs per kilometer.Three-fourth to be paid cash at hand and the rest as an obligatory to be paid through times.

The company also paid hundred thousand francs to Menelik extra as a gift in return to the consensus signed. The company further began to monopolize another business in the area of mining gold such in Wal’laga, coal production, salt, telegraph etc, in various regions of occupied and secured territories.  From 1894 to 1895 alone handles between France and Menelik that reached thirty-five million francs in France surprised the Europeans next to Leopold II of Belgium Congo’s profit. The fact stimulated the establishment and constitutionalization of the later called “Compagnie Imperiale-Ethiopienne” in short CIE in 1896. The railroad construction began in 1897 from Finfinne toward the southeast red sea coast. As it has been in the past, tons of steel and  other heavy metals required  for railroad construction were also carried by slave hands and their shoulders. Statistics proved that about 60 % the slaves were Oromos in each and every place of constructions. Once the railroad construction had reached Laga Hawaas “River Awash” crossing the Karrayyu Oromoland, there was something unusual happened in a normal sense, but not in Menelik sense. As the spin engineer went to report his success from Finfinne to Laga Hawaas and is going to begin to construct a bridge over Laga Hawaas, Menelik stopped the construction of the Laga Hawaas. Nightmarish for the engineers and the French company. Why did he stop the construction of the Bridge?

Apropos, bridge constructions  and both men! At the beginning of his services next Alfred Ilg began to build houses, streets, for Menelik and settlers following him in a tempo. During the rainy seasons there were at least three moths of disconnection between Intootoo where first Alfred built his hut and live and served Menelik, and his area of his project to build  house or fabrics, because of the  Rivers  flowing  across Shagar that springs from Tuulamaa highland toward the south like Laga Qabaana were a natural barriers and there were  no means of crossing the rivers  from one side of the river bank to its opposite side of the bank. The Rainy season was the hibernation period for  Menelik and his settler troops,while it was and still is the hardest working seasons of the years for the vast majority of the Agricultural Nations incarcerated in the Empire.

There  were no word called bridge in the vocabulary of Menelik,let alone to have one in real. It was strange as Alfred Ilg Itself. Ones Alfred Ilg proposed to  solve this  problem and  brought his model, to begin with, the construction of bridges to be anointed by Menelik, but not disgraced or belittled, Menelik took the model and crash it with his hand, and laughed at Alfred Ilg. That sent a message, if I can crash it with my hand, how can it carry my whole body and my troops, plundered   resources and live animals across the river. Menelik and his nearest warlords and his wife also considered that was “evil man’s duty, no one built a bridge on air,” and there were no needs of spilling out money to the river itself to build a bridge on Air.

Alfred Ilg was known for his obsinancy, he built the second model and brought back to Menelik again. Menelik crashed it again. One may easily guess what were going on Menelik’s and Alfred’s Mind at this spot. One can also understand how difficult it may be to explain what “Model” mean to Menelik and his servants around him. It was also understandable that Alfred’s models were made of fragile materials as what models were supposed to be, but not for Menelik. Alfred did not give up. He rather built the third model, and again brought back to  Menelik, but at this time he can not break it with his hands and no one can laugh at him and make slurs “evil ferji, etc, ) at Alfred. Menelik shook his head, showed him smiling and gave the consensus to build the bridges in Finfinne to cross from one bank of the river to the  opposite side of the bank of the river.

The stopping order of constructing the bridge on the Hawaas River given by Menelik was ridiculous that no health brain may think of it. He stopped the project as he heard it from his Bitweded, and claimed  that the  railway construction consensus contract signed in February 1892 after their arrests, passed Menelik’s Intelligence test (MIT) by making  pairs of shoes stated that the railroad construct consensus he signed was to build  on the ground; vehicles run on the surface, but not  on air: a bridge. In fact, that was Menelik’s  invention, a diabolic lie, little different from Waachaale because Alfred was an in his said and his architect in that issue. One must not undermine the role of Tiyatu’s and her influence  as  she was the strongest opposition to the railway construction project from the very begging and the warlords around Menelik  in inventing  false reasoning to achieve the goals they planned in their mind as it has always been by Abyssinia warlords.

The fact speaks another language that can be read from the Amharic version attached below if it showed up in the document. Never mind, the filter product from it debris what one must know is here in original Amharic version written in Latin script reads: “…Ye xiis seregelaan be Hageree lemaaqom le Muusee Alfred Ilg sexiichalu, Qen, Yekaatiti 5, 1885,” when translated into English, it roughly means “…the consensus of building steam locomotive was given to Muusee Alfred IlG, Date, 14th of February, 1892.” Thus, there were neither “ Midr or Meret (Surface or Land) nor Ayer (Air) stated in the contract he signed to build the rail. The stopping of the railway project  was not only nightmare t o both engineers but the worst of the worst has come. The company and the two engineers went bankrupt. Because Menelik demanded first the essence of signing a new contract in regards to building a bridge on air. Second; the company must pay him three hundred thousand Thaler if they want the proceed with their project. The company was not in a position to pay it. As a result stopped the project and traveled to France to search  for new Financier. Finally, they did not succeed and went bankruptcy.

As a consequence and the government of France must take over and began to send delegates to inspect and report to the government for further funding the project and constructions. They established a new company that changed its name in 1908 to the “Compagnie du Chemin de fer Franco-Ethiopien.” The contract action capital of the company was estimated to two million francs where the company holds 85 % of the share and 2% for Alfred and Leon. First in 1916, after nineteen years of construction time, a five hundred kilometer railway route was accomplished. Alfred died in 1916 and Menelik died in 1913.

Haa tahu malee baroota as kaluu kana, surraan ABO ulfaataan sun akka ummanni Oromoo abdatutti sadarkaa isaa eegee qooda hoggansa qabsoo irraa eegamu gumaachuu hin dandeenye. Gaafa bara 2001 keessa ‘ABO Qaama Cehumsaa’ fi ‘ABO Shanee Gumii’ jedhamee bakka lamatti cabuu irraa qabee keessi isaa ititee hin beeku.

Kasaaraan hayyootaa fi hogganoota warraaqoo kasaarre guddaan tokko isa kana.

Gargar cabiinsi lakkoofnu kun hundinuu kasaaraa qabsoo Oromoo malee milkii homaatuu hin gumaachine. Bu’aan argame yoo jiraate, kasaaraa lubbuu namaa (loss of life), kasaaraa dhala namaa (loss of human resources), kasaaraa hamilee, kasaaraa dinagdee, kasaaraa waraanaa, kasaaraa siyaasaa, kasaaraa dippilomaasii fi kasaaraa yeroo ti.

Kanneen matayyaadhaan qabsootti jiranis akka gumaachi isaanii walitti gumaawee injifannoo jabaa fi murteessaa hin galmeessine danqe.

Haa tahuutii har’as taanaan ummanni Oromoo hogganoota gargar caccabuu aadeffatan irraa komii guddoo  haa qabaatu malee, maqaa ‘ABO’ jedhu irraa abdii hin muranne, yoomuu hin muratus.

ADDA BILISUMMAA OROMOO OROMO LIBERATION FRONT

Lessons from the Ongoing Oromo Revolution and the Way Forward

15 July 2016

1. Introduction

The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) is established to struggle for the liberation of Oromia and the

establishment of democratic republic of Oromia as specified in its political programme and its members

and the Oromo nation at large have paid immense sacrifices for this sacred objective. The current

Oromia-wide revolutionary protest against the occupying Ethiopian regime is a continuation of the

struggle that has been promoted by the OLF for nearly half a century.

For the last 130 years, the Oromo and the other peoples in southern Ethiopia have been caught in a

vicious circle of tyranny that is deeply rooted in a colonial conquest at the end of the 19th century.

Ethiopian rulers of Abyssinian (Amhara-Tigray) origin have been ruling over them supported with the

use of armed violence.

Armed settlers called naftanya (riflemen), who owned land which was confiscated from the Oromo,

ruled over Oromia up to the 1974 Ethiopian revolution. The revolution that overthrew the imperial

regime of Emperor Haile Selassie was hijacked by a military junta, which ruled the country with terror

until 1991.

The Tigre People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) regime, which rules Oromia with martial law today, has

not only inherited the militaristic and authoritarian styles of their predecessors, but also intensified their

abusive political and economic practices. The extractive economic policies of the past regimes are put

back in place and the impunity with which the lives of innocent people had been destroyed by past

Ethiopian regimes has become even worse under the TPLF.

As numerous reports from human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty

International and Horn of Africa Human Rights League clearly indicate, the brutality of the TPLF

regime is threatening the very survival of the Oromo people.

Hence, needless to say here that the political goal of the Oromo struggle led by the OLF, namely the

formation of independent Republic of Oromia is as relevant, if not more so, as it was when it was

ratified by the political programme of the OLF. In fact, in tandem with the intensification of tyranny

against the Oromo under the Tigrayan ruling elite, the Oromo struggle for independence has been

enhanced; coordinated and waged nationally and internationally, it has entered the final chapter.

However, as we will indicate later, the struggle needs to be much more sharpened and coordinated in

order to stride forward to the realization of the ultimate goal.

2. The current uprising: a decisive step to independence

As mentioned above, the root cause of the unrest in Oromia today is the century and a quarter long

colonial domination and illegal occupation of Oromo country by successive Amhara and Tigrayan

(Abyssinian) rulers. The view that if the TPLF regime is removed the cause of the unrest in Oromia

will settle and peace will be restored is myopic: the “Master Plan”, lack of democratic rule, human rights

abuse, land-grabbing etc. that have triggered the ongoing Oromia-wide protest do not in themselves

constitute the root cause; they are its manifestations.

The colonization of Oromia is the root cause for the crisis. Therefore, the aim of ongoing Oromo

revolution is, and must be, not only to remove the TPLF regime from power, but go beyond that and

achieve independence from the vicious circle of tyranny that has kept our people in bondage for the

last 130 year.

The Oromo struggle is waged for a just cause. Therefore, the Oromo youth are facing the guns of the

TPLF regime holding high the objective of liberating their homeland from colonial occupation. Their

cherished aspiration is freedom from subjugation and building an independent state of Oromia. They

have no desire of replacing one form of Ethiopian state with another.

The uprising is supported by the entire Oromo nation who have been participating in the protests in

their tens of thousands all over Oromia. Consequently, the wind of revolution is blowing all over

Oromia: the only obstacle standing between the people and the rebirth of free Oromia are the

occupying forces of the TPLF regime.

The current uprising has refuted many of the misrepresentations of the Oromo which the Ethiopian

ruling elite have been using to rule over them. As we have seen during the last eight months, wherever

the TPLF-led rule is dismantled, the Oromo have, contradicting the picture of the “chaotic tribes” with

which Abyssinian elite have depicted them, been quick in setting up peaceful democratic governance,

maintaining law and order and organizing self-rule, based on their centuries-old Gadaa traditions,

avoiding breakdown of law without exception.

Furthermore, the national consciousness and solidarity reflected in the spontaneous uprising

throughout the entire Oromo country, showed that our people are ready to build their own state and

control their destiny as an independent nation. It is important to note here that the self-discipline and

sense of fairness and justice exhibited by the Oromo towards non-Oromos including the Tigrayans

amid the TPLF violence is simply extraordinary. The conduct of our people should win admiration

from freedom and peace-loving peoples of the world. It should also convince international

organizations to support the quest of our people for justice and recognize the legitimate demand of the

OLF for national self-determination.

3. Resilience in the face of adversity

Although the uprising has proved beyond doubt that the Oromo are a peace loving people, the TPLF

has shown consistently that it is the most repressive regime that has ever occupied Oromia. The regime

has made it abundantly clear that it will not leave Oromia without bloodshed. It has persecuted peaceful

Oromo protestors with utter disregard of all moral considerations and any thought about the long-term

danger its actions pose even to the regime itself and its supporters.

At the time of writing, eight months after it started in Ginchi on November 12, 2015, the Oromo youth

uprising is still going on across the width and breadth of Oromia. The regime continues also with its

atrocities against Oromo of all walks of life on an unprecedented scale. In particular, university and

high school students are targeted by the police and military forces of the regime, hunted down and shot

at with live bullet, beaten, tortured, molested and imprisoned, or summarily dismissed from schools

and universities. So far hundreds of students and unknown number of civilians including children under

the age of ten, pregnant mothers, and old men and women over seventy have been murdered. Tens of

thousands have been arrested and detained, and countless Oromo refugees fled their home country

and many have perished in the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea.

The aim of the TPLF regime’s atrocities is to create the fear of and acquiescence to its power. The

regime thinks by beating, torturing and killing the youth it can kill the aspiration of the Oromo nation.

However, the result was the opposite. It showed that no amount of killing, torture, disappearances,

displacement or imprisonment will make the Oromo quiescent any more or save the regime from an

impending demise.

Paranoid of any organised Oromo group, the TPLF regime has labelled peaceful Oromo political

activists and leaders of registered political organizations “terrorists” and rounded them and large

number of people and imprisoned most of them in concentration camps as all of the country’s prisons

are filled.

Nevertheless, the Oromo people have remained firm and are demanding freedom or death. Experience

from the last twenty-years has taught the Oromo that terrorism is a Woyane (TPLF) character. That

taking lives of Oromo youth with impunity is a vicious method used by the regime with the aim of

intimidating the rest of the Oromo population to prolong its political life is well-known and

courageously defied. Its Agazi forces have been using their horrible method of punishing and

humiliating the Oromo with rape and beating. However, the Oromo have refused to be scared or

humiliated.

The courage and resilience which our youth have shown under barrages of live bullets fired at them

during peaceful demonstration, the house to house search and lethal beatings by the Agazi during the

last eight months has become a source of courage to all Oromo and invigorated Oromo revolutionaries

and freedom fighters to intensify the struggle. Consequently, the Oromo at home and in the diaspora

have risen in unison and reinvigorated resolve to regain their independence. By and large, the shape of

a free and liberated Oromia is emerging.

4. The Woyane regime in disarray

The nationwide Oromo revolution that erupted in November 2015 was not anticipated by the TPLF

regime. Therefore, the tyrannical regime is unable to cope with the speed, intensity and consistency of

the Oromia-wide civil disobedience and mass rallies or supress them in spite of the brutal crackdown

exercised by its armed forces, police, and the notorious Agazi Special Forces who have been butchering

unarmed children, students, farmers and city dwellers across Oromia.

As it is losing its grip not only on power, but sense of sanity, the TPLF regime is becoming increasingly

scared and violent without reservation. It has been spending vast public funds including international

humanitarian aid on building its killing machines. However, no amount of military armament can

prevent its impending demise. It is to be remembered that the number of tanks did not save its

predecessors, particularly the Derg regime from an inevitable downfall and international condemnation

which had been the fate of dictatorships everywhere in the world.

Politically, the TPLF regime is in deep crisis. The unprecedented waves of protests in Oromia has led

to a deep mistrust and even fear of its “partner” party in Oromia, the surrogate Oromo People’s

Democratic Organization (OPDO). This has led to the division of Oromia into eight military command

posts and the imposition of direct marshal rule over it under eight TPLF army generals. Thus, as the

repressive system which had maintained its hegemony is irrecoverably debilitated by the sudden

volcano of the Oromo uprising, the regime is tittering on the brink of total collapse.

The internal political crisis of the regime is also complicated by diplomatic ones. For the first time, the

Oromo struggle for freedom is gaining international recognition. The crimes which the regime has been

committing against humanity is exposed by the media and Oromo diaspora to the international

community. Furthermore, truthful and detailed documentations of the blatant human rights abuse

which the regime has been perpetuating against the Oromo have been made by human rights

organisations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

Members of the international community, particularly the European Union, and governments around

the world have, for the first time, shown concern about the Oromo people. Consequently, the Oromo

people have started now to feel that the world has not forgotten them. The OLF is immensely grateful

for the concern shown by international community.

However, press releases expressing “grave concern” about the mass killing of the Oromo by Ethiopian

state security forces alone will not persuade a dictatorial regime like the TPLF regime to respect human

rights. We urge the UN, the African Union and their member states to put pressure on the TPLF to

stop its atrocities against our people.

5. Our stand on Ethiopian political organizations

Some Oromo academics and politicians may argue that the naftanya elite view the Oromo as a force for

democratizing the Ethiopia-empire state. However, the fact on the ground is the direct opposite.

Ethiopian political organizations have never cared to understand the cause of Oromo struggle properly.

However, that does not stop them from prescribing a solution they see fit. This particularly is the

position of naftanya political organizations.

As reflected in many of the articles produced during the last eight months in reaction to the Oromo

uprising, the attitude of the naftanya elite is hostile to the Oromo movement. All kinds of rationalizations

are used to deny solidarity to the Oromo. Indirectly, and perhaps unintentionally, their attitude supports

the TPLF’s violence against the Oromo.

Giving away the Oromo people’s inalienable rights of national self-determination, by yielding to

pressure from others, will place the OLF or any other Oromo political organization at odds with the

Oromo people since today the Oromo are fully aware of their birth rights and struggling to achieve it.

Therefore, on our part we will not allow that Oromo human and material resources be tapped for the

promotion of Ethiopian ruling elites’ interests.

The Oromo youth are sacrificing their lives to free their natural and human resources from colonial

exploitation and rehabilitate the environment that has been destroyed for decades under consecutive

Ethiopian regimes. They want to revive the Oromo culture and language, developed their economy

and live with dignity. The victories they have achieved so far and the national independence they are

yearning for are not negotiable.

We believe that understanding this factual reality will guide Oromo political players. We say that the

recognition of Oromo sovereignity, that is to say an independent Oromo state, and the right of our

people to their land and its natural resources, is a starting point for a constructive dialogue between

Oromo political organizations and any non-Oromo political parties or groups about the future. This is

a fact which those who will form a coalition with the Oromo should recognize.

The Oromo are a nation that will not be dominated anymore. It is a nation of vibrant youth, of energetic

youth full of poets, authors, artists and cultural activists who are fully aware of their rights and strive

to put their nation in its right place among the family of nations and states. Needless to say those who

are trying to capitalize on the sacrifices paid by the Oromo youth and come back to power and rule the

Oromo and exploit their resources are wasting their time.

6. The urgent need to build a national consensus

The Oromo unity of purpose is never more required than now. The Oromo people inside and outside

Oromia are mustering their resources and intensifying the revolution to hasten the demise of the

terrorist regime. The Oromo people, young and old, have totally rejected the Woyane regime. Not only

have they rejected the current rule openly, but also denounced the Ethiopianness imposed on them.

The Oromo people have spoken in one voice. They demand freedom of Oromia. Different Oromo

political and civic organisations should understand the root-cause of the ongoing Oromo revolt and its

emancipatory nature as a matter of urgency in order to contribute constructively to its success and the

emancipation of our people. It is to be remebered that misinterpretation of the Oromo cause by some

quarters within the Oromo national movement has shackled the progress of the national struggle and

diminished its success so far.

The goal of the struggle should be articulated crystal clear once and for all to avoid misinterpretation

and confusion. We stress the fact that understanding the Oromo popular demand for sovereignty by

Oromo political organizations is of paramount importance to make their contributions in the

achievement of the objective for which our people have paid immense sacrifices.

The long and proud history of the Oromo nation teaches us that our forefathers held conventions to

deliberate and legislate on critical national issues known as Tumaa Seeraa at critical junctures. The OLF

believes that it is our time, responsibility and obligation to come up with an honest Tumaa Seera Qabsoo

right now and work accordingly to determine the future of Oromia.

To this send, we intend to initiate an Oromo Convention that should adopt a document of Oromo

National Consensus that guides the behaviour of different Oromo political actors in their endeavour

to represent the Oromo cause and act in the interest of the Oromo nation at all levels, be it internal or

external.

The OLF stands ready to play a leading role in organizing such a Convention. Naturally we expect that

Oromo scholarly, religious, and civic organizations, elders, as well as all Oromo political organizations

will also play a leading role as equal partners, in contributing to the process of organizing and shaping

the outcome the Convention. We invite also intellectuals to make their contributions to this effort

without reservation, fear or favour. Oromo media organizations are expected to play a significant role

for the realization of the Convention as well as holding political actors accountable once a Consensus

is adopted.

The Convention we envisage will not only produce a clear roadmap that takes our nation to

independence, but also provide a much needed code of conduct for Oromo political actors. We believe

that once agreed upon and adopted by the majority, the National Consensus will help in devising a

transitional structure for Oromo self-governance during the post-Woyane period and beyond. Our

action now can have a significant impact on the fate of our nation, and be under no illusion, so does

our inaction.

Oromia shall be free!
