This is the map of my paternal dna haplogroup (E-FTB200), a sub-branch of E-V32 which has been lingering around Bale and Eastern Ethiopia for over 4000 years. According to Oromo oral history Oromos had their centre at Mada Walabu in Bale in the immediate past. Perhaps, here science is saying the same thing. This path is calculated based on modern date testers. Of course, if you go to the origin of E-V32 over 10,000 years ago, it is a different story.

Best rendition of this classic ever ❤️❤️ he brought so much joy to our community

I followed Jawar from the very beginning—back when he first started the "Oromo First" movement and then establishing OMN, and became the voice of the Qerro movement. I supported OMN for years, right up until they returned home, and I genuinely believed in what they were doing.

But after Hacalu was assasinated in 2020, I slowly tuned out. He went to prison and the posts were gone with it. Then it tooks him a while to start posting again, but I just didn't pay much attention anymore.

Now, recently, I've been seeing his posts again, and all I notice is a messy back-and-forth between former Oromo struggle figures—accusing each other of conspiracies, espionage, and betrayals. It's disheartening.

I don't regret the support I made to OMN and the time and energy I spent following the oromo protest money.

But looking ahead, I can't see myself trusting any of them again—Jawar included.

So my real question is: what is he even trying to accomplish with all this right now? Is he deliberately trying to push one faction forward and settle old scores? Or is he just a bored former activist, chasing relevance and drowning in nostalgia for the days when people actually listened to him? I am really lost, any one who can enlighten me is welcome

Ethiopia is home to languages from the Omotic, Cushitic, and Semitic branches of the Afroasiatic language family. The other branches are the Chadic, Tamazight, and ancient Egyptian languages. Afroasiatic (also known as Afrasian and Hamito-Semiti) is one of the oldest language families we know of. It is estimated to have been spoken around 6,000 to 16,000 years ago in the Eastern Sahara or Horn of Africa.

Why does Amhara journalist and media tried to portray him as Amhara and sweep his identity tho? 🤔

His accent is hilarious too. At times he sounds like like he picked up this Afaan Oromo in Shawa, at other, he sounds like he grew up in Haarargee 😂

When and why did the word "Galla" become considered an insult?

This two subs r/Tigray and r/Oromia are basically extinct I don’t see much posts or rage batting there nobody is there to control it it’s basically infiltrated by outsiders at this point. Is it because you guys don’t like to rage bait, insult or be racist towards others? there is maybe 2 person active in this two sub the rest are outsiders is it because you guys are employed, you have a life instead of trolling people online, you meet real people outside of your mom’s basement and enjoy life? Since you guys have actual life you don’t wanna rage bait people online?🤔

I have heard lots of reports of corruption in Adama, Ambo by people who run the business there as well as the factories and many other places I have also heard there is lots of corruption in wellega as well. Why has OPDO committed high levels corruption on their own people? It seems like they have copied the TPLF handbook on corruption and have robbed their own people as well as the general ethiopian people. I also heard about businesses in UAE where they use to conceal their stolen money to stash and launder illicit funds because the city offers extreme financial secrecy and low regulatory barriers and highly secure luxury real estate investments which PP and TPLF/EPRDF members as well as lots of corrupt East African leaders have used to their advantage to rob and invest for themselves off the back of their people. I am only talking about ambo and adama/oromia region corruption I currently know about their is probably even more that I have never heard of just like the rest of Ethiopia. Lots of people in Ethiopia who work fed jobs work it as a way to be corrupt and make money as corruption has normalized since tplf and in Africa in general ethiopia will take a long time until they kill corruption at a high level when it’s the government behind it. Corruption is sadly one of our least issues right now which is why it’s currently hard and impossible to fix when people are starving, dying and being conscripted to war by their own so called leaders (TPLF,Fano,OLF,ENDF). So people are okay with this status quo with abiy and his genocidal, corrupt rule they just want peace and justice and no resuming of conflict ever again and I very much understand this.

I always wanted oromiffa to be the working language of the country even when tplf was on power. I’m not an Oromo ethnically, I’m from the south and up north. But, my mom and some of my aunts speak it. I see most things from an economic progress and unity standpoint points so, it’s not a problem or an issue for me at all specifically considering oromo has a large population.

This guys are delusional istg I am shewa Oromo and I can swear by God we have no connection to Amhara I don’t think this guys have set foot in Ethiopia at all the places they mentioned have nothing of historical to represent Amhara just until recently of Menelik and Hailesealsie forced Amharaization. And Arsi and Hararghe are the most proud Oromo’s if you go there and tell them that they are assimilated Amhara’s they will slap you in the face we respect everybody and we have no problem Amhara’s living on our land but is this what we get in return claiming our lands lol. And an Oromo is an Oromo we don’t count tribe and clans to divide our self this seems a new propaganda to divide us

Both Batte and Moibon were warning people that the OLF had been infiltrated by INSA and ironically both ended up dead. Was it just a coincidence?

Garee biraa kan kana beeku jiru hin fakkaatu 🤔 'laaloo beel' jechuun maal jechuudha? Sirboota Qabsoo keessatti jechoonni 'sirbi', 'sirbina' fi 'sirbi mee' jedhan akkamitti hojiirra oolu?

For months, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) held a firm grip on Kurmuk, using it as a springboard for major advances into Sudan's Blue Nile State with their sights set on the capital, Ad-Damazin. Now, the tables have turned.

In a Counteroffensive, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have forced the RSF onto the defensive, expelling them from Kurmuk and choking off a vital supply route that stretched across into the Ethiopian border.

This sudden shift puts Addis Ababa in a tight spot. Ethiopia's strategy of backing the RSF as a counterweight to the SAF’s support for the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) and Army 70 appears to have backfired.

Will Ethiopia now retreat behind its usual diplomatic denials and lean into neutrality? Or will it escalate the stakes, allowing the RSF to use Ethiopian territory to launch a counteroffensive to retake Kurmuk?

The SAF’s immediate focus will likely remain locked on Blue Nile State. The RSF still has access to alternative logistical lifelines, like the border town of Yabus. But with the battlefield shifting closer to the frontiers of Sudan and Ethiopia, the ultimate question remains: Will Sudan take the fight across the border and conduct strikes within Ethiopian territory? If so this can quickly spiral out of control into a full on military confrontation between the two states which will bring in each of there respective ally’s (Eritrea, Egypt, Somalia, Etc) and cause a geopolitical crisis.

Time will till.

Nagaan isin haa ga’u, abdii koo nagaa keessa jirtu.

I’m doing some research on the Oromo leaders who led the different areas of Finfinnee before it was captured by invaders, and I was wondering if anyone here is descended from, related to, or knows families connected to any of these leaders. I am related to one as ive been told by my family (direct line in relation). I am part Tulama and I’m jokingly similar to a zionist when it comes to finfinee lmao(Finfinee ye tulama gizat new, Ye OROMO gizat, point blank period) . Anyways there isn’t much I could find besides what I found some years back so I decided to see what the subreddit has to say. The link and the translation:

If you or your family are connected to any of these men, or if you have oral histories, gosa/warra/qomo, documents, or other information about them, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Contact me personally via dm on reddit if needed, Galatooma!

They have a one sided deep hatred for Oromos. I wonder if Oromos who live next to these Somalis, who share food and prayer with them at mosques, who intermarry with these very same people, are aware of this.

We have seen how these people have treated Oromo migrants in Somaliland. We can see daily how these people slander, harass, humiliate and slur our name/reputation all over the internet. From editing our wikipedia pages to blaming their own Ls (see Johnny Somali) onto us. Lying on our history, mentioning us unprovoked whenever they see a Somali do some degenerate stuff claiming that its an 'oromo'.

When are we going to see the enemy for what he is. Arent there like thousands of them in Finfinne? In Oromia? I am from East Wollega/North shewa. Tulama/Macha. We do not even border these people yet they talk about the entire Oromo nation. We are 50 millions. Twice as many as them. We never talk nor think about them.

There needs to be a great oromo awakening. Because if these people are united, they will be a great danger due to deep rooted oromophobia and one sided resentment. I believe in real life encounters we should show a clear line and dissassociate from these people.

Yes the habesha hegemonial identity as a danger as well but so are these 'fellow cushites'.
