The Sidama Ejjeetto and Oromo Qeerroo Must Urgently Work Together

The enemies of both Oromo and Sidama nations have repeatedly attempted to set them up at each-others to fight a meaningless war in the last 27 years. However, such maliciously planned repeated plots of the enemies during the entire periods of TPLF/EPRDF’s barbaric rule have failed due to heroic, sensitive and wise mitigation of conflicts by the elders of both the greatest Kush nations. And, such commendable brave and wise actions of the Oromo and Sidama nations has maintained peace and fraternity of amazing nations who share tremendous similarities in the aspects of culture, psycho-social makeup, moral and spiritual attributes. If it wasn’t for a genuine unity and fraternity of the Oromo and Sidama nations; both nations could have ended up at logger heads with one another.

Furthermore, we can tell with the degree of certainty that won’t happen simply because our unity is impregnable whose foundation is cemented on solid historical unity and fraternity that never flinches due to temporarily masterminded hullaballoo of the enemies within and external. Kudos to the elders, Qeerroo and Ejjeeto of both nations, the fact dictates otherwise.

Besides, the enemy is hell-bent on continuing with its attempts of plots on masterminding further conflicts between both nations in boarding areas at this critical time for the future direction of Ethiopian politics and country at large. The enemy under the pretexts of demands for territorial claims is planning to ignite full scale conflicts with grand objective of creating endless animosity and instability. This is happening at we speak in Sidama national regional state, Banssa district, Hamasho-Borana Farmers’ association where it neighbours with Oromia’s Worqa district where the culprits are said to be arming some groups to claim that the Oromo nation is attacking Sidama. The same plots are unfolding in Sidama’s Harbagona district neighbouring Oromia’s Arsi Zone, Kokosa district where the Sidama people lived with their Oromo brothers in peace and harmony for several generations. The indicated Sidama peasants between 50 and 70 households were displaced and subsequently obliged to leave their homes in their cousins’ land of Oromia. Although this is painful for the affected households, we know who is our enemies thus never believe that our fraternity will be challenged with the plots of our arch enemies.
