If the two are imported how come you chose one which teaches you to give your ass when you receive a slap in your face unless your brain is screwed? Next time we'll buy you some katee (qamisii) faranjii so that you dance better. BTW, pheenxeism is a child-abuser cult currently enjoying a free ride in foreign occupied Biyya Abbaa Gadaa, not a religion. Who knows how many of you have abused children or have been abused yourself under that borrowed katee. To Oromos Pheenxee cult leaders are what OPDO leaders are politically. Both surve foreign entities (missionaries vs TPLF) who have interest in exploiting Oromo human and natural resources. As far as we're concerned it's not your flesh that makes you Oromo, it's your mind. Your flesh can rote tomorrow, your mind remains even after you death. You have been robbed of your mind and still claim to be Oromo, simply because your tongue speaks afan oromo and your flesh may be from oromo parents while you're practically destroying the foundation of orommmumaa. Sad is that you even don't understand that your'e mentally DEAD! Abito Kebede, my long time music hero, transoformed himself from genuine orommummaa to pheenxummaa and he is now bitter and regrets that he sang his old beautiful songs. You guys are practically useless korpses. But you don't notice this. Your brains have been charred down with false propaganda that makes you hate yourself than any body hates you. Who should replace now this once great artis who was source of oromo pride? His mind is now taken by "Jesus", his beautiful songs are no longer available to his people. That means he's no longer Oromo, in practical terms. He could have used his Waaqayyo given voice to transform all oromos for the better. Now should we accept Abitos politcal teachings which can only have its origin in Pheenxummaa? I say no. I travelled to nearly all continents of this globe and observed that Oromos are the only people on the planet who feel useless, have no culture and values of themselves to protect, ready to negate themselves and accept whatever foreign mess comes across them unconditionally. They feel they are ALWAYS inferior to anything foreign. They feel more comfotable with Amhara names than their Hammachissaa names, with pheenxee cult than Ayyaana Abbaa or Ateetee, katee farajii than Bullukkoo or Jiiloo Abbaa, etc. Wallagaa, once home to the greatest of all heroes, has been reduced to a harbour of pheenxee priests who urge oromos not even to fight their enemies. Worse still, they want to infect those of us with their diseases because we refuse to buy to abusive missionaries. They want to dictate what we should do and how we should govern ourselves. Shame on you! Hopefully, you will soon both pay dearly, Waaqayyo willing!! I think your closest friends, next to mssionaries, are wayyanes and OPDO. Don't use me to attack moslims unless you hate your neck.

Take a hike
You must be an Oromo Taliban.Your way or no way.No one is more proud than Oromo penxe than your borrowed relgion. The two religions are imported to Oromia. I have a rght to choose any relgion of my chice.Can you imagine living with you in liberated Ormia? You will eradicate all who have diffrent opinion than yours. You are still livein a cave. Get out of your cave and act as a civilized human being. Oromia is more than enough for every Oromo.TELL ABOUT INDIGINOUS OROMO VALUES?DISUNITY? COMPLAINING RATHER THAN FIGHTING?BITCH...BITCH..BITCH...FOR 40 YRS. Ass holepaper tigers, that all you know. If you love your culture and country wht the hell sre you bitching? Go and fight like a man or Woman.It is easy to sit in a cafe and complain about peoples religion.Go take a hike.

Namichuu or niitii,
Get this. I would like to live in hell than under pheenxee sell-outs or any proposals comming from them! Only when you recognise yourself as a man/woman proud of his identity, culture, values and history and start to take measures to oppose attempts by foreign cults to kill indiginous Oromo values, identity and religion would I talk to you. But never while you sing some pheenxee songs in your language in your borrowed qamisii faranjii and tell me how i should be governed by brain-dead men! See u in Biyya Abbaa Gadaa.

Here we go again! I like how you paraphrase your jargons.According to your little shallow mind, no other can talk about Oromumma except you and your masters.Any Oromo can be a penxe, moslem sheik, orthodox kess.and aba quallu and express his ideas in a way he likes. Does any one need a permission from ignorant backward mind of yours. Imagine Oromia being liberated and administered by shallow minded people like you. There will nver be a right of an indvidual under your revolution. You are circumventing peoples right under liberation.It is the same stupdity of 37 years and you are product of it.Do you live in a democratic society or Adowa or Assela / Yhink about it. I have been in this struggle before you had a pant on your ass.

Paradigm shift starts with transition from pheenxumma to oromummaa.

1) That is your problem. You never realized why you failed all those 37 years. You simlpy read the wrong book all over again that prohibits you from fighting your enemy.
You know who that is? It's not wayyanee. It's merely you and your ignorance! Instead of listening and learning from your mistakes you rather attempt to resort to dictatorship and seek escapegoats.
You have "problem with agreeing to hear the voice of the people (democracy) and living with their verdict means just that. For 37 years oromos from all regions and religions gave you their unreserved support because you were frenzy about Oromo Liberation.
Now they understand that what you mean by Liberation is actually nothing more than reading the bible and singing old pheenxee songs by brainwashed young oromos in new qamisii faranjii,
everything else being "infeasible" and urging everyone for "paradigm shift" so that you get "access to state power". That's why Oromos threw you into the rubbish bin of history, long time ago!
The only paradigm shift that is urgent is for you to throw away this borrowed qamisii faranjii and make smooth transition from pheexummaa to Orommmummaa,strengthening and promoting oromo values, culture and institutions instead.
Oromos shall never trust you when you say "oromia shall be free" unless you start doing this!! That's the only time when we think you're one us and pay attention to your words.
2)When you're caught red-handed comparing your qees with King or Tutu you turn around and try to tell us you didn't mean that at all. You think everyone is ignorant like you.

3) I have no problem with Christianity nor with the rest of the panelists, although it's dominated by elitist politcians who have no gut to face the enemy except Dr. Marara.

The invitation of pheenxees rel. leaders neglecting the true spiritual representatives of Biyya Abbaa Gaddaa is a clear attempt to deny their existence and suppress their voices.
And how many non-pheenxee christian representatives have you invited?

Who the hell said that oromos should be represented by pheenxee leaders in political meetings, their legitimate religious representatives being excluded? What's the message here?

Ati utubaa abbaan kee eegi siin jedhe jigsitee, galma abbaan kee hin onsiin jedhee diigdee, aadaa lammiin kee tiksi siin jedhe balleessitee,
qomoo haadhaa kee gurgurattee, qamisii faranjii fi macaafa "qulqulluu" ittiin ergifattee, sirba farajii sirbaa ooltee bulteetu barcuma Qaalluu fi Abbaa Gadaa ra teessee
oromoon akkati buluu qabu itti himuuf mirga qabaannan, nutis sindura dhabbachuu mirga hindhabnu.

Galatoomi Obbolleesssaa/ obbolleetii!
This is my last post on this.

I do agree that Oromos are subjugated and oppressed. How ever, You don't have any right coarse me to agree with any one without my will.You are playing the same game like your masters.Again, you have the rght to think to say to write what ever polotical agenda ful fills your ego.I have never had a problem with that. My qualm is when you cross some boundaries to condemn others.I have never compared Dr Gemechis with Martin or Tutu. What I meant was they used the pulpit to expose aparthaid and raceism. In the sme time and context diffrent ideas were entertained and concepts were contemplated."There are diffrent avenues to heaven" my friend. Don't block ideas.Look, we have spent over 37 years grinding the idea of liberation.Well done. I wish there are magic programs which entails independent.What blocks ideas are people like you who insist on dragging every single person at gun point to follow the same bakrupted ieda of isolating diffrent opinions..What makes you diffrent from OPDO then? Why do you take away my god given right? Don't I have or any one else have a right to think diffrently.Is your polotical program agreed on by entire population? Show me your polls. Every Oromo aspires independent and freedom regardless of his relgion and region.The problem is when people with shallow mind like you try to divide them by religion and region. Did Gemechis came out and said I will follow my polotical program based on Pentecostal paradigim? Hell no.He presented his ideas just like Assefa Jalleta, Lencho Lata, Jara, OPDO.OLF ALL THE "OS" and etc.Do you have to condemn him just becauae he is a christian?Or should he be treated less than others because he is religiously diffrent? You are hiding behind regionalism and religion. I do understand your tiny box. Get out of it and follow democratic principle ans aspiration for you and our people. Oroms are not fools. They know exactly wht they want. They do'nt need a lecture from a diaspora. Good luck with your strugle. Oromia shall be free.

More “garbage” for your consumption:

1) If we agree that Oromos are dying for a just cause what’s the problem with agreeing to create conditions where their voice can be heard for the way out and prepare ourselves to accept their verdict, no matter what? Is this not the meaning of democracy (self-determination) in civilized world?

2) Why try to impose our individual or group views on the entire population, simply because it seems favorable to you? Why did those people who brainwashed you with pheenxumma spared you to do the same with democracy? Why play politics under the guise of religion? Without any statistics on Oromo opinion available to them penxee leaders have made it clear all they want is "access to state power”, and say this is all about bilisumma, as Ethiopia would cease to exist without Oromia. This tells everything. Their prime concern is preservation of the oppressive empire than end tyranny. So, all penxee leaders need to do is approach the current power house for their share of "state power" the soft way and proclaim Oromia free. We on the other hand believe the tears of the Oromo mother does not stop by giving “access to state power” for power hungry individuals. It stops only when she elects her legitimate leaders in a free and fair atmosphere without any fear and defines the nature of her relationship with her neighbors. You as her son/daughter had better serve her by creating or facilitating the creation of such an atmosphere and not by trying to define, replace or suppress the voice of 40 million people with one or two man’s or group’s interest.

3) History can not be made by comparing Gamachis with ML King or Tutu. It only reflects your shallow knowledge of the works of King and Tutu. I could show you documentaries about the life of the big men you dared to name who either spent their entire life confronting apartheid directly or even sacrificed their lives in defense of human dignity. When was the last time you have seen your hero organize and lead mass actions and freedom rallies that led to the demise of apatheid in SA, throughout Oromia against the regime, even for one minute? Is Oromo problem less severe or who prevented him and his “many followers inside and outside Oromia”, including you, from taking similar actions rather than declare “paradigm shift” to discourage people who are doing their jobs?

Thank you.

Someone who behaves unreasonably has no option but digest the "garbage". Are you suggesting penxummaa is an ati-Jara cult? Jara is a religous man and a brave fighter like Gen. WAKO for all oromos, not a religious leader of a certain foreign sect. Again you are comparing a great men who united their people for freedom with a divisive individual who has no regard for victims of abuse, occupation and subjugation and freedom fighters who are in the jungles. BTW I have absolutely no problem with him as a person. We have seen many like him working with anti-oromo forces before. He can even join wayyanee. My only issue is with his authority. You can't play two games at the same time and space. Do you? It's not clear when you say " he has more followers than any of your people...". Do you mean victims of missionaries sponsored phenxummaa (he included) who for the time being subscribe to his teachings or Oromos who support his idea of "infeasiblity" of bilisummaa Oromia? In any case oromos need unbiased and reliable data. Such data that can only be obtained by counting, which never took place.
Therefore, if your man is interested in politics in earnst all he should do is resign his religious post, unite with all oromo forces to create conditions where all oromos express their on their affairs without fear or discrimination and let them decide whether his idea of "infeasibility" of Bilisumma is acceptable to them. Otherwise, he can do a shortcut and ask for a slice of "state power" he's been seeking from wayyaanee in exchange for bilisummaa.
"Ex Derge clone"? I wish I were one. At least Oromos would have one less problem.

Where were you when Jara was running under the pretext of Islamic Oromia?How many penxes faught from the pulpit to reliberate thier people?How about Martin Luther King and Desmound Tutu? Gemechis has more followers than any of your people inside and outside Oromia.I respect your opinion. You have God given right to trust Arsi dog than a human being.You can get as low as you can get. That is great. How ever, Gemechis , you and I have the same right as Oromos to air our opinion at any venue.I am afraid you may be ex Derge clone? I RESPECT YOUR OPNION AS FAR AS YOU YOU RESPECT ANY ONES OPINION WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD.

No. You can't compare the politicians with this man. Neither is the issue is about the right of opinion. It is about about abuse of religious office by giving divisive statemets that offend millions who have lost relatives, were jailed, exiled or lost property for a just cause for decades. Do you think our people suffered fo so long only becuase they can't say "infeasible"?
If the honorable "DR" based his statement on a scientific study he would make sense.
Penxes must remove this man from his office immediately if they wish to restore trust with the rest of oromos. On my part I would trust a dog born in Arsi more than a POP (phenxee Oromo politcian) in matters of Bilisummaa Saba Oromo.
