1. FEDHII UMMATAA GADI FAGEESSANII BEEKU :
Fedhii Ummata ofii wallaaluun Dogoggora hamaaf nama saaxila. Nama miiraan socha’u nama taasisa. Madda Ummata ofii tuffachuu ta’uu ni danda’a. keessa Ummata ofii wallaaluu irraa , halagaaa waliin teenye, ummata kana harka qabnee akka finnutti waadaa madda salphinaa nu seensisa. Kana jaallatee fudhataa ? yk sossobeen of jala hiriirsa jennee , habjuu ganama ka’aanii waan of biraa hin argannee nu habjochiisa. Sirnoota Itoophiyaa warri masaraa keessatti waliin sirban isa jiraachisuu akka hin dandeenye hundaa, namoonni nu marsanii harka nu rukutaniif jecha, qabsoo Ummata kanaa akka fedha keenyaatti micciirree , feenu diina jala galchinee, feenu kiisa keenya keessatti qabannee deemnaa jedhee kan nama yaachisiisu, fedhii Ummata ofii wallaaluudha. Gama kanaan bara 2000 kaasee waa hedduu dabarsine jirra. Har’a dhala Oromoo Addunyaa irra jiru addatti kan Biyya keessaa hiraarrii dhandhamaa jirutti, waa’ee siyaasa keenyaa,adeemsa siyaasaa Biyya Itoophiyaa jedhamtu fi addunyaa iyyuu , 1+1 = 2 JEDHANII tan itti himanii miti.

2. ABOn, KUDHAAMA UMMATA OROMOOTI !
Haqa kana kan hin hubatiin , kan Ummata kanaaf kabajaa hin qabaatiin qofaadha. ABO Ummata irraa adda baasuuf, sochiin gama hundaan hin taasifamiin hin jiru. Akkuman duratti kaase, “ABOn KUDHAAMA UMMATA OROMOO” ta’uu isaatiin, firaa fi diinoonni keenya, dogoggora seenanii jiru. Dogoggorri kun walii-lama ta’uu danda’a. Diinni , KUDHAAMII kun , kan fakkeessaatti fudhachuu irraa, ummata harkaa fudhachuu ykn isa irraa adda baasu yennaa yaalu, firri ammo, KUDHAAMI sun dhugaa ta’utti beekaaf, harkaa butee kan isaa taasisu keessa dogoggoran . hojii fafaas dalagan. Diinni kudhaama fakkeessi akka hin taane kan raga ba’ee, waggaa 22 ifaajjii taasise milkaa’uu dhabuu qofaan odoo hin taane, ABO maqaa gooleessaan galmee ASHABBAARII keessa galchuuf wayita tattaafatee fi Ummatichi daranu itti cimu irraatti .
Nuutis hanguma qalbiin nu yaaddun, ABOn , KUDHAAMA UMMATA OROMOO ta’u isaatti amanuu irraa , waan fedhii keenyaa raawwachuuf jecha, warra qabsoo Oromoo bu’ureessee dhaabichi hojjatus dhiisuus gaggeessaa jiran odoma beekanu, Kudhaama kana butuuf jecha, dandii salphinaa meeqa kan seenan, ammallee halgaaf jecha dandii salphinaa kana keessa kan gangalatan ni jiru. Kun qalbii ummata kanaa tuffachuu irraa madda. Ummata kana qalbii cabsinee, ammuma iji nu ilaaltu yaaduu irraa , maqaa seenaan meeqa itti galmaa’e har’a lafaa kaanee, akka huccuu keenyaa butannee fiigu yaanna. Kun keessa Ummata ofii walaalu irraa madda. Ummata haala kanaan gawwamsinee diina jala hiriirsina jechuun mataa isaa badii guddaadha.
Kanaaf , adeemsa bu’aan tokkollee hin argamsiifne kana irraa barachuun barbaachisaadha. Ummata ofii burjaajeessuu yaaluun , ummata ofiif yaadu miti. Addatti hawaasi Biyya alaa jiru , dogoggora kana sirreessuuf adda durummaan irratti hojjachuu qaba. Beektoonnis kana irratti hojjatanii waan ummata qalbii hirsiisuuf hojjatamu dura dhaabbachuu qaban. Seenaa Oromoo kan dubbannu ykn katabnu yoo taane, seenaa qabsoo Oromoo karaa irraa yennaa maqsifamu beektoonnis ta’u ummati callisee ilaalu hin qabu. Waan ifatti maqaa isaan daldalamu argaa callisuun ummata kanaaf yaadus miti. Abbaan fedhe maqaa baafatee haa gurmaa’u. garuu maqaa wal saamanii hojii manaa diinni nu kennu hojii irra oolachuu keessaa ba’uu qabna. Kana irratti yaadaa fi ejjannaa tokkoo qabaachuu qabna. Maqaa ABO saammachuuf qabsoo eegalle , kan jedhu yoo jiraate fayyummaa hin qabaatu. Kan fayyummaa hin qabne waliin kan fiigus , fayyaa hin qabu . fayyaa dhabuun kan abbaa ta’ee , warra fayyaa dhabeen ummati kun hiraaruun yakka . yakka seenaan nama hin dhifne. Kana gochuu keenyaan ammo , mammaaksa “MANNI GOGAA WARAABEESSAAN IJAARAMEE,,,,” dhugaa ta’uu amanu qabna.
3.ILAALCHAAN ADDA TA’UUN, OROMUMMAAN ADDA TA’UU MITI !
Mooraa qabsoo Oromoo keessatti ykn Ilaalchi siyaasa Oromoo keessa jiru , ani ilaalcha lama caalaa ni jiraata jedhee hin yaadu. Walabummaa Oromiyaa fi Bilisummaa Ummata Oromoo kan jedhuu fi Itoophiyaa Dimokiraatofte keessa jiraachuu dandenya kan jedhu. Lameen kana irratti kan murtee dhumaa laatu, UMMATA OROMOO qofaadha. Yaadi kun lameen kan milkaa’uu danda’an keessa yk fedhii Ummatichaa akka gaaritti hubachuu irraati. Waan hubachuu qabnu garuu , Inni walabummaa Oromiyaa jedhu, carraa Ummatoota Oromiyaa keessa jiraatanii dukkaneessuu akka hin taane wayita hubachiisan, warri Itoophiyaa Dimokiraatoofte keessa jiraachuu dandeenya jedhanis, mirga Ummata Oromoo dhiibanii milkeessuu akka hin dandeenye waliif amanun barbaachisaa ta’a.
Ilaalchi kun lameen hangamu garaagarummaa qabaatan, OROMUMMAA wal irraa mulquu hin qaban. Jibbi diinaaf qabnu fi waliif qabnu hedduu wal irraa fagaata natti fakkaata. Kaleessa adda baanee wal gaarreeffannee , wal salphifnee, ……. Waan irraa arganne qabanaa ? yeroos miira kamiinu haa kaanu, ni ta’a jennee kan eegallee ta’eeraa ? kana yaadachuu qabna. Kana har’a wal irraa fagaates, boruu yerootu walitti fida. Diinni hojii manaa nu kaa’ee kana irra tarkaanfannee dachaa isaa yaannee , isa injifachuu qabna. Abshalummaan keenya hedduu dabaluu qabna.
Jibba Ilaalcha irraa maddu hundumaa wal irraa kaafnee diinatti achi deebisuun, shirri diinni gama hundaan adda nu baasee umurii isaa dheereffachuuf tattaafatutti bishaan naqnee, kaleessa irra akka waliif jirru diinatti mul’isuun waan yeroon nu gaafattuudha. Keessattu , Biyyoota alaatti walirraa fagaachuu mul’ataa jiru kana dhaabamsiisuuf , ani akkasii jedhee kan utaalu waliin utaaluu irraa of qusatanii , waan deemamuuf dura hubatanii , lakkii dhaabbadhu jechuu qabu malee , yeroo hundaa akka dikee bishaan irraa ta’anii, ummata ofii taajjabsiisuun dhaabbachuu qaba. Kana malees beektoonnis ta’an kanneen hafan hundumtuu qabsoon kun na ilaallata jedhanii , yoo xiqqaate yaada laachuu irraa dhaabbachuu hin qaban.
Gaaffii Ummata kanaa gama hundaan dhageesisuuf , miseensa qofaaf dirqama kennuun hin taatu. Miidhaa saba ofii dhageesisuuf Oromummaan ga’aadha. dhimma keenya irratti wal tumsuun waan hundaan olitti kabajaa sabummaa nu goonfachiisa. Dallansuun, maal na dhibeen, dhimma isaanitiin kkf hundi deebi’anii nu miidhaa jiran malee, waan nu fayyadan hin qaban. Mooraa qabsoo Oromoo jabeessuuf, rakkoo jiru xiqqeessun gaaffii jalqabaa ta’a. kun ammo nama dhuufaa irraa eegala. Amma hundumtuu kan yaade irratti hojjachuu qabu, diinni qaawwaa nu gidduutti uume akkamiin cufachuu dandeenya ? isa jedgu irrattidha. Diinni shiroota ittin adda nu baasan beekanii dursanii argamuudha. Wal jibbiinsa diinni nu hawwuu sana lafa kaa’anii , yeroo rakkoo waliin jiraachuu argisiisu qaban. Sochiin OSAn gochaa jiru kana , gama hundaan babal’isanii , dhimma keenya dhaaba qofa irraa eegu odoo hin taane bakka jirrutti irratti hojjannee , diina keenya qaanfachiisuu qabna.
Kana irratti kan hubachuun nu barbaachiisu, rakkoo keenya cufachuuf yaadi ka’ee kun, mooraa diinaa keessa gangalachaa maqaa Oromoon, dantaa diinaa kanneen raawwachiisan hammachuu akka hin dandeenyedha. Kan kaleessaa irraa barachuun keenya keessa keenyaaf malee diina waliin waan nu baraaru hin qabu waan ta’eef.MANNI GOGAA WARAABEESSAAN IJAARAMEE……kutaa 2ffaan itti fufa.

A Response to Dr. Fikre Tolossa (Tolassa)

By Dr. Beyan H. Asoba | May 30, 2013
Dear Dr. Fikre Tolossa/Tolassa,   Xalayaa Dr. Asobaaf katabame
What do you expect from such thinker
This is from the end of Fikre’s letter. Is Fikre in this century? Click Xalayaa Dr. Asobaaf katabame 
I was travelling when the open letter your addressed to me appeared on a number of websites and was thus not in the position to respond sooner. In this response, I will address only those aspects of your open letter that personally concern me. The Oromo Democratic Front will have to respond on the general content of your writing.
Dear Dr. Fikre,
Let me start my comment by making a brief observation on how you spell your last name. I checked as many of your published works as possible and they are all signed by Fikre Tolossa. That is how your name appears on your University of Bremen dissertation of 1983 and numerous subsequent publications.  And it is also how you spell your name on your Facebook. To my knowledge, it is only in the open letter addressed to me that you not only spelled your name as Fikre Tolassa but also added apparently your grandfather’s name, Jigsa.
Let us leave Jigsa alone and allow him to continue lurking in the shadows, where you usually place him, and focus on Tolossa/Tolassa that more commonly appears after your first name. Tolossa could ostensibly be construed as a derivative of the Amharic word “tolo.”  And I know for sure that Tolassa is a derivative of the Oromo word “tola.” Consequently, by spelling your name in two different ways, you appear to evince two contrasting identities. If by doing so you wish to sit on the Amhara/Oromo identity fence, all I can say is “suit yourself!” I fully respect your right to call yourself whatever you want and to proclaim any identity you choose.
My question is: Why could you not accord me the same right? My name is not Bayyanaa Suba. I have never spelled my name in any other way than Beyan Asoba. I would not have recognized that this new name actually refers to me if it were not used in context of commenting on the Oromo Democratic Front, of which I am a member. Obviously, you took the liberty to attribute another name to me in order to serve your political objective.
Only creators have the right to name the object of their creation. For example, auto-makers give specific names to their various brands just as parents name their children. Unfortunately, for us, the sons and daughters of the Oromo nation, suffering the indignity of being re-named by Chauvinists has been a very common and bitter experience. Our very national name (Oromo) was erased from public records and replaced by another one along with a bundle of pejorative connotations associated with it. Even pupils used to be coerced by their teachers to dump the names originally given to them by their parents and to assume a new in order to start the process of qualifying as an Ethiopian.
It is this practice of demanding that individuals need to first die as Oromos, Sidamas, Walayitas, Kambatas, Hadiyas, etc. in order to be reborn as Ethiopians that sits at the heart of the political contestation in that country. And so long as being an Oromo and an Ethiopian are made incompatible, we have no choice but to either reject your Itophiyawinnet or suffer the imposed self-abnegation.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear to you and your likes. The days when Oromos had to endure self-abnegation are over and shall never return. We have rejected the Itophiyawinnet that is the antithesis of being an Oromo and shall continue to do so as long as this antithetical relationship is maintained. The choice is yours and your likes’. You either accept us with our identity and other rights fully respected or you kiss goodbye to your much vaunted Itophiyawinnet and Ethiopian unity. Can you not see that there is something immoral in trying to build Ethiopian unity on graves of Oromos, Sidamas, Walayitas, Kambatas, Hadiyas, etc .? Why do you refuse to recognize that this aspiration is ultimately counterproductive?  I only hope that this irrational, immoral and ultimately destructive aspiration would give way to a more sober and fair articulation of an Ethiopian identity that is as an amalgam of the identities of the various nations inhabiting its territorial space.
Finally, I would like you to know that this is the last time I will comment on this very painful issue.
Beyan H. Asoba
