Jawar Mohammed Peace be upon you! those ten points are my personal perspectives on your recent political activism and believe that I dont stand with. 10 huge mistakes [distortions] that Jawar is practicing intentionally and its consequences on the country politics and specifically stake of oromo politics in the country. the observation is limited to his current zealous political activism and latest interview he had with the veteran journalist Fekadu Moreda aired on Oromia Network Media amharic program. 1 Cherry Picking: inductive generalization based on unrepresentative sampling. Bear in mind the inevitable fact that there are always fanatical fundamentalists sect in any political forces, idiologues and intellectuals circles that are strongly repulsive to alternative political idiology. As far as I genuinely observed and strive to conduct an informal servey, the group that Jawar labels as Neftegnas and Abysinians that are, according to him, arrogant, vindictive, and ignorant to oromo politics, are statistically outlier, too marginalized from the central theme of the wider public opinion and have no visible influence in the dominant political forces. wholesale branding based on unrepresentative sampling for the sake of spontaneous political advantage is a deliberate misrepresentation. 2 Amhara Elites 2.1 Elites The Term Elite is one among that are exposed to utter distortion in ethiopian politics consumption. Are those, in the first place, whom you relentlessly claim as intolerable, arrogant, ignorant, vindictive and who have strong sentiment to imperial era and many more labeling political elites for real? do they those you are accusing as adversaries suit its very definition? then according to the definition they should have marked non pariel contribution in the political activism and/or any form of participation to an extent of informing the majority political discourse and influencing the opinion making. there I challenge you to come up with telling us at most two and three militant extremists that are road block to working together and have fervently aggressive orientation to mutual interest. I assure you that is spurious. 2.2 Amhara Two indisputable points I have here. 2.2.1 All projects been launched in order to restore oromuma spirit and concepts of oromo nationalism indispensably call for amhara ethnic group to an extent of making Amhara the heart of the oromo narrative and that plant strongly apprehensive mentality to the generations to come even though there is no ground justification to galvanize psychological horizontal friction. 2.2.2 Ethiopian nationalism, unlike your suffering to misapprehend as a small tent tailored to shelter only Amhara ethnic group, is way way broad and inclusive that ultimately value equal opportunity for all. even though you prefer to call politicians, activists and all concerned under the umbrella as amhara for politically motivated purpose, you too are disregarding non-amhara individuals and non-ethnic urbanites, amhara but have no amhara-sentiment majority. what makes an individual ethionationalist, her/his ethnic background or political believe? 3 Five Years Loss Jawar said he made unreserved attempt but failed to work with amhara elites [who are they-I wish I knew]. in the ethiopia devastatingly complex politics arena that demands real determination taking a swift acrobat from endorsing ethiopian unity to diving to the most unrealistic, marginalizing and implausible politics is premature and early decision. I assume how huge the nauseating reactionaries and fundamentalists apprehensive misgivings and intolerable challenges those few in number and weak in their influence could upload on raising well educated, bold, articulate and influential young politician like you specially from your camp but still five years is too early. The point is they are insignificant both statistically and qualitatively. rather you were productive in the time period if your motive was installing your name and political personality and get renowned political analyst and later political activist. 4 Oromo vs Ethiopians This manipulative approach that accounts a two mutually exclusive political societies underrate the increasingly successful accomplishment of oromo political, entertainment, sport and bussiness personalities in the socioeconomic and political engagement and contribution of oromoethiopians in shaping that land socioeconomic and political diversity. This trivial trend of portraying oromia and oromo as homogeneously isolated land that has no positive historical and demographic ties rather increases horizontal friction and undermine the power of struggle to equal opportunity. specially for a coutryside dwellers who have less or no exposure to ethnically diverse environment and enjoyment to its harmony that practically refutes the theoretically surfaced political narrative where its central theme is intrinsically building a self marginalizing orientation, sense of insecurity and producing intuitive negative vibe among the prole. grab your facebook post threads and do the maths. very manipulative approach, I would say. 5 Never Doubt the intersecting center is yet the metropolitan The plain fact on both on the ground and on the cyber world unveils there is hope to lean on. the metropolitan politics is the only way forward. the urbanite has amazing receptivity, less aggression and more inclusive. at least regardless of what demographic composition it constitutes, the urban is not either amhara per se or oromo, guragie, whatever. It has its own psychological mindset, its own identity that could only be informed under ethiopianism. there the majority sentiment with historical anecdotes and figures is very weak and that existing is only symbolic. unlike the politics in Dombi-Dolo there is less interest developed in interweaving history and politics. Missing that small in number but huge in political awareness, receptivity, inclusiveness, is devastating loss. 6 even the late prime minister Meles who is the leading architect in ethnic politics had boldly admitted that ethnic politics in Addis (and I assume all cities across the country) is dead for good. he said to Ermias and co that Ethinic politics in Addis is wiped out!!! 7 Like anywhere else, including in west, unless you withdraw the idea of succession and embrace ethiopian unity, I doubt no one will be working with you in any condition and circumstances. that should always be a click. 8 : : Yemane its my poorly articulated questions towards him :) as I yesterday told Daniel to provide him with my concern on his latest interview.
