The Three Core National Interests that need immediate attention!

As soon as the Oromo people collectively start to protect and defend:

1) their children and leaders from arrest, torture, and killings;

2) their land and natural resources from land and natural resources grabbers; and

3) their language and social values by making Afaan Oromo the federal working language by following the strict principle of territoriality in language use:

all forms of repression in Ethiopia will permanently end, and Ethiopia will transition into an era of politics of mutual respect. (Oromo resources and Oromo weaknesses are the two major curse and battleground in that country.)

And best of all, the #OromoProtests have turned the Oromo people into a formidable organization with no political, religious or regional differences to immediately agree on these three core national interests, and defend them.

The only major and lasting legacy of the #OromoProtests, the making of the Oromo people into a single political community that knows its national interests and ready to defend them, must be kept, protected and nurtured by every single Oromo as our people advance and move forward.

The other two key issues that remain are:

1) whether this single most important legacy of the #OromoProtests, i.e, the making of the Oromo people into a single political community with no religious, political, and/or regional differences, and

2) whether the three core national interests of the Oromo people, i.e., protecting and defending their leaders and children, land, and language

are properly spotted and their importance properly understood by Oromo groups and activists who claim to represent the interests of the Oromo but became largely a liability and a burden to the Oromo people?

I hope every single Oromo will stand and measure his/her actions or inactions based on his or her contributions to these three core national interests.
