Addis Dhresessa off course you are Oromo nobody take it from you but you are not reperesenting the Great Oromo people Don’t been ignorant read history don't gave to the woyane stay long explot more our people unit and fiat free Ethiopian peopl from woyane. Read this comet to This fake Dr. Shamsaddin is spreading his fake hate poisoning history against our beloved country Ethiopia and its people. He did this long time a go, first I was thinking same one seeking attention by doing this and spread it but it is not he has motives behind and need to be addressed accordingly, I ask all Ethiopians who have the resource by challenging Shamsaddin and stop this little virus to spread. We don’t need to do too much research that who is behind this so-called Dr shamsaddin, the motive of attacking Ethiopia and Ethiopian Nationalism. It is clear, his concern is not the freedom of the Oromo, the Ogaden, the Sidama people, but to spread hate among Ethiopians so as weaken their Ethiopian Nationalism and finally to achieve the disintegration of Ethiopia, so that the weaken nations are easy for manipulate and exploit. The Oromos and other Ethiopians always are free people as an Ethiopia we are the symbol of freedom to the continent, under Ethiopia empire, which was, build and protect from outside forces including Egypt and Turk. Of course there was ups and dawns clashes for power between nations and nationalities and religion within Ethiopia, which where affected every one. Ethiopia never discernments and exploit its own people. But the rulers of Ethiopia including the Oromo did, at the result of the rulers of Ethiopia the Oromos suffered like other Ethiopians. In our Ethiopian history from time to time there was a power struggle within Ethiopia that affects all, it doesn’t mean that the Oromo are different then others, we know that Oromos have their own identity within Ethiopia, every one is different that is why they called Oromo the others are Afare, Amhara, Gurage, etc. There are difference and similarities between all Ethiopians, the question should be does the difference we have affected them to live together with other Ethiopians under one country Ethiopia, which the Oromo grand parents are paid high price to build and protect this country, after all who gave this country Ethiopia only for Amharas’s off course Amharas played a leading rule for a long time we thank for them for that, we are not blaming Amhara’s and other Ethiopian as a whole because of the rulers mistakes what happen in history no one benefits for it now except our enemies that is our country’s history live this for historians we are living know let us make our own history on our time. We all suffering under woyane trainee rule we are not blaming all Tigre even all of woyane fascists are Tigre except few woyane trained others. The struggle should be united and directed towards free all Ethiopians from woyane exploitation and build democracy in Ethiopia which is the rule of law are respected our difference are accepted and handled democratically. I remember in Ethiopian history the Oromos was developed a wonderful Gada system it might be the first democratic system in the world, under this system eight or nine leaders are changed peacefully when their term of governance end or lapse. Does any one know where was the Oromo border under this system? Did the Oromos know their border before the woyane created to them? As far as I know the Oromo border is the border of Ethiopia’s. One of the most interesting things under this system was adoption or gudufecha when the Oromo defeated and expanded their kingdom all over Ethiopia they adopted others and make them Oromo after generation. Know my question is who is Oromo? Who have Oromo blood or who speaks Oromofiya? Under this system the Oromo not only the part of Ethiopian and Ethiopians or as you love to call it Abyssinian empire but govern it, the last Gada was end up in Gonder. My dear brothers and sisters Oromos and others Shamsaddin has been setup by our common enemies, which is our grand parents are fought against, his mission and motives are not helping any one but using you for his hidden mission. Might be Very few of you pushed by past and present rulers crated your on imagination culet of dream separatist dogma idea or grown up by teaching even before woyane created Oromia your country is Oromia not Ethiopia it is hard to think be owned this positive. If you believe in god, Allah ask for help if you belief yourself see the reality. Look who I am, I born in Amhara area I speak Amharic my father was respected Ethiopian patriot who has fought against Italy for five years born lived and work all his life in the heart of the Amhara land and speaks only Amharic language today from the internet I found out he has Oromo blood which is make me proud Amhara and Oromo no one can take it at me, it doesn’t mater what language I speak where or which country I live, I have in hearted Oromo blood for ever, nobody can’t take it from me. Don’t try to use may name and the Oromo people to destroy our country Ethiopia. The Oromo people know what the rulers are doing now and did before; don’t echo Shamsaddin’s poisoning virus spread against my people and my country. The Oromos as all Ethiopians need freedom democracy and peace not disintegrated there on country, which is paid, and paying heave price to build and protect. Disintegrating Ethiopia will not benefit the Oromo people because Oromos are one of the masters of the Ethiopian nation who has paid and still paying price to build and protect. The struggle of Oromo people should be directed to free Ethiopia from fascist racist woyane and build Ethiopia for all no one is more or less Ethiopian’s than others. For your surprise we don’t even care how Ethiopia was created we live this for history what I know is Ethiopia is ours we are not going to gave any one what we need in Ethiopia are Respect each others difference that is our beauty as my dear brother Mr. Obang said garden with many different flowers are beautiful that is why our difference are our beauty for this all respect human rights, the rule of law govern by democracy. That is the Ethiopian people need. The Oromo claming they are the majority of the Ethiopian people so, they have the responsibility to take care of Ethiopia lead the straggle agents woyane with Amaras and others. Disintegrate Ethiopia is not the interest of the Oromo people; it is the interest of our enemies. If any one thinks that TPLF woyane ruling of Ethiopia is a successes and dreaming their turn I tell you woyane playing the Russian roulette. If any one serious to contribute free our people from woyane to build democracy must united without any hidden personal goal or agenda. DAMOT
