#Amhara #Oromo #Ethiopia #Cessation

Some appear to believe Oromo is the source of the movements for separation and see Oromia as a hot pot promoting such tendencies. To be honest, most of us are afraid that one day Oromia may go a nation state. 

Do we ever take time to ask why do some in Oromia tend to think so? It is due to the racist past that considers Amhara culture is the best and the way out for our unity. 

 

I don’t mean necessarily such racist view pushes us to think so. Despite whatsoever, We can think that the problem is not with the unity and the diversity we in Ethiopia happen to brace; Every individual has the natural freedom to think so as long as he isn’t there to abide by herd thinking. 

Yet those in power think the unity of this county and its people better maintained in such bad ethnic approaches.

What we need to struggle to vanish is simply that racist though pattern and they system that promotes it.

Besides, some seem to think Amhara is attacked while the problem was with the leadership than with the Amhara people. Labeling such people as irresponsible is wrong. They do have a point to make too. In some areas in this country Amhara origin people have been targets for some racist vengeance.

Yet still though Amhara as a nation was not and is not responsible for what happened, we can’t deny that various nations in this country have been pushed aside for being who they are. They have been denied the right to use their language and culture.

Now we can see there was and is still something wrong in our thought system. Though we claim we all are equal we don’t act like that in various circumstances. That triggers the same question we raised yesterday.

The thing is to form a system in which all races are respected and allowed to use their language and culture as they find it proper while they don’t infringe in the rights of other races in the country.

Most of the debates we involve in are ones that we do fearing something bad happens if this nation follows a particular school of thought or party ideology.

The best thing to do is to forget our allegiance to parties and try to make fruitful discussions to make our now far better than the past we know and the conspiracy theories we often tend to enjoy.
