Jiilchaa Haamidiin

Qabsaawoota seena qabeeysa hoggaa lakkooynu, maqaa isaa kheeysaa hambisuun hin tahu. Dhaloonni isaa ganda Qeeyransaa, Aanaa Haromaaya, Godina Harargee Bahaati. Maqaan dhaloota isaa Umari, ammoo maqaan inni ummata isaa biratti ittiin beekkame 'Araarsoo Wadaay'. Araarso Wadaay jechuun nama umrii dargaggummaatiin qabsoo bilisummaa Oromoo itti ida'amee, jiruu fi jireenyaa isaa guutuu itti wareege jechuu dha.

Qabsoo kheeysatti hujii adda addaa osuma hojjachaa jiruu, waraana Dargii dhaan qabamee bara 7 hidhame. Manni hidhaa saniis kaayyoo isaatirraa if booda hin deebifne. Akkuma hidhaarraa bahetti ammaas lammadaa qabsootti ida'ame. Jijjiiramni bara 1991 khufiinsa Dargii booda hoggaa dhufe, Harargee bahaatti Araarso Wadaay ajajaa Waraana Bilisummaa Oromoo ture. Yeroo san kheeysatti waraanni Oromoo humna guddaa horatee bakkoota adda addaatti waraana Ihadigiin wal dura dhaabbachaa turan.

Ihaadig yeroo humnaan sossoohuu dadhaban, tooftaa jijjiiranii gara diplomaasiin ykn gara mariitiin waraana Oromoo ukkaamsuu irratti xiyeeffatan. Yeroo san kheeysatti Araarsoo fi jaallan isaanii Aanaalee magaalaa Adareetti dhihaatu kheeysa ummata kakaasaa turan. Adaree irraa gara kaabaatti kan argamtu Aanaa Kombolchaa ti. Aanaan Kombolchaa bulchiinsa ABO jala waan tureef, Ihaadig magaalaa Adaree irraa humna guddaa gara kaabaatti bobbaasaa turan. Weerara kana ifirraa ittisuuf waraanni Oromoo fi hawaasni Oromoo wal cinaa dhaabbatanii humna roorroo alagaa kan taankii, madaafaa fi meeshaalee adda adda hidhatee itti dhufe halkanii guyyaa lola hadhaawaa irratti gaggeeysaa turan. Waraanni Ihadig dhawamee Adareetti dacha'uu dirqame. Waraanni Oromoo jalaa hafuu didee, Dirree Xayyaaraa irraa osuma dhiiban magaalaa Adareetti dhufan. Magaalaa kana itti marsanii qabachuudhaaf isaanii qophiirra jiruu, Ihadig hoogganoota ABO kan Finfinnee jiru walgahii hatattamaaf yaamuu mudatan. Marii godhame sanirratti akka waraanni Oromo chaartara khabajanii Highway irraa fagaatanii Aanaa Kombolchaatti if booda deebi'an ajajni kennameef. Murtiin kun ifi murtiileen hoogganoonni ABO dabarsaa turan, kheeysattuu ajajni maayyiirratti kenname (waraana Oromoo mooratti galchuu) Araarsoo fi jaallan isaanii heddu dhiiga danfise. Ammaas, akka himamutti wal diddaa obboleyyan lamaan (ABO fi AIBO) kan Godina Harargee Bahaatti lubbuu heddu galaafate, furmaata akka argatu hawwii qabaachuu ture.

Araarsoo Wadaay balaa isaa fi jaallan isaanii irratti gaggeeyfame lubbuu isaatiin jalaa baafachuudhaan hoggaa biyya ollaa seene, haalli ummanni isaa kheeysa jiru isaaf liqimfamuu dide. Ammaas biyyatti deebi'ee humna haaraya, kan ummanni Oromoo abdachuu dandayu, hoogganaa haaraya jalatti jaaruu murteeyse. Isaa bobbaarra jiruu, magaalaa Malkaa Jabduutti (bulchiinsa Dirree Dhawaa) wareegame.

An Afternoon with Nadhi Gamada and Abba Yusuf, Mogadishu (1985)

Image
Photo of Mogadishu, Somalia - 1980's "I brought you a guest today" said Abba Yusuf as he entered and greeted my father. Abba Yusuf was the organizations envoy in Mogadishu for almost 20 years. He was practically raised by the organization and was in charge of all of it's dealings in the city. On this occasion he was hosting the OLF's Head of Political Affairs, Nadhi Gamada, who was in Mogadishu to officially open diplomatic relations with the Somali gov't. The meeting was brief and they agreed to meet again the next day for lunch. When Nadhi arrived in Mogadishu he was briefed by Somali National Security, who told him that he was free to move about in the city. But they placed undercover agents outside of his hotel to watch him. This was done so that they can identify and gather information on OLF members in Mogadishu (incase relations went bad and they needed to round them up in the future). However, Abba Yusuf came up with a clever plan and they were a...

Reshape the Culture: Oromummaa & Ideology

Image
Oromummaa & Ideology Political ideology and ethnicity are two separate things. Ras Gobana, Habtegiorgis Dinegde, Ras Ali, Balcha and their states/armies are no less Oromo than the states they fought to subdue in their allegience with Menelik. Dismissing them as simple lackeys with no motives or agenda of their own, which Oromo nationalists tend to do, is a simplistic way of looking at their history. Similarly, saying that they hated Oromos and killed people because they’re Oromo doesn’t make sense. Their ideology was one that centred around the Orthodox church and Christianity, not ethnicity. So although they came from Oromo tribes and Oromo regions, they identified with the church and the state more than an Arsi Oromo or Wallagga Oromo who was not even a citizen of that state at the time. Similarly, under the rule of Haile Selassie when Oromo officers formed the Maccaa-Tuulamaa  Self-Help Association (MTA) they were allowed to operate legally, until it was discovered that the ...

The Revisionary Emir of Harar: Muhammad Ali Mayu (1856-1875)

Image
By Jilcha Hamid When reading the history of Harar the Emir who stood apart from the rest is Muhammad Ali (1856-75). Before his rule it can be said that Harar was no more than an  isolated city-state suffering from political instability, and a vulnerable economy. Some of the major changes implemented during the rule of Emir Muhammad were that he strengthened ties between the town and the Raba Dori administration of the Afran Qallo Oromo; symbolized by his adoption and title as 'ilma gosa' (or 'son of the clan'). His relationship with the Afran Qallo Oromo brought the town the much needed stability and gave the Emir the political and diplomatic leverage to transition Harar into a new era, and establish a state with the Oromo clans. Harar in the 19th century was a town inhabited predominantly by the Gey Usu or 'people of the city', while the territories outside of the walls were inhabited by Oromos. The Afran Qallo Confederation periodically elected a Raba Do...
