 On the sticking point so far of Oromo internal debate this season

*****

One of the sticking points that the Oromo diaspora communities across Europe are raising as Jawar Mohammed continues to engage them in town hall meetings during this season of the “Galatoomaa Tour” is this:

“Why you guys, Oromo federalists, option for peaceful political struggle that aims to democratize Ethiopia— only in futility? Can such a blood stained empire be changed into a fairly functioning republic that can ever be democratized to become acceptable to the majority of its citizens in the very first place?” 

Well, I fully understand the concerns of all those Oromo patriots asking this important question. But I fear that this point which has been asked by participants of all the four town hall meetings held so far—and hence a sticking point—is being made based on over suspicion as well over simplified sets of assumptions. 

How?

1-Even though the violent instincts inherent in the Ethiopian state machinery still lingers to these date due to its imperial legacy, the true imperial nature of the state has effectively ended after the 1974 popular revolution. 

2-But because the State hasn’t been de-coupled or de-linked from its historically embedded violent instincts yet, state-citizens relations remain still soared—explaining the reason why Ethiopia still remains to be a CONFLICT FRAMEWORK rather than a legitimate polity at peace with itself.

3-If this historically embedded violent instinct can somehow/someway be de-coupled from the Ethiopian state, the strained relationships between citizens and the state can subside, if not healed; thereby providing good opportunity to reimagining the whole idea of Ethiopia as a unified polity in the Horn of Africa—and hence being and becoming Ethiopian.

4-Centralized political power has historically midwifed and nurtured this violent instinct of the Ethiopian state, but current dynamics on the ground (political consciousness in the society, peaceful political struggles, ongoing civil wars…etc) highly disfavor it—ignore the assertions of Amharic language based propaganda media outlets, be them private or party owned. 

Truth is that country’s current dynamics favor more decentralization, more autonomy—meaning more multinational federalism. This in turn means stronger regional states and weaker federal government—the panacea to puncture the problem driving the historically embedded violent instinct of the Ethiopian state.

5-What’s more, Oromo federalists including Jawar Mohammed envision a decolonized and democratized Ethiopian state; one de-coupled from its violent instincts and hence at peace with its own self. Points roughly explained under points 1-4 above do not rule out the impossibility of achieving such a vision. 

They even suggest otherwise—the reason why I’m arguing that the stated sticking point of the town hall congregants of “Galatoomaa Tour” in parts of Europe is being made based on over suspicion and/or over simplified sets of assumptions.
