Conference
OROMIA Post Abiy
The Future of the Oromo Nation.
Introduction
“The Oromia Post Abiy conference is an essential gathering for the Oromo people from across the globe. This conference aims to address the persistent and systemic oppression faced by the Oromo nation within the Ethiopian empire. Despite various political systems introduced over the decades, the Oromo have continuously suffered from systematic oppression, man-made famines, forced displacements, massacres, genocide, imprisonment, starvation, and severe human rights violations. These atrocities have intensified under the current regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed..
“The Oromia Post Abiy conference is not just a gathering, but a call to action for the Oromo people worldwide to unite, reflect on past struggles, and forge a path towards justice and equity.”
Historical Context
To understand the present situation, it is crucial to examine the patterns and trends of past rulers since the 1970s. Each new regime in the Ethiopian empire, whether capitalist or socialist, has failed to establish a sustainable social contract with the diverse nations and nationalities within the empire. This lack of a genuine social contract has led to repeated failures and systemic oppression. The Ethiopian empire, functioning as a colonial entity, has consistently imposed policies that exacerbate divisions and marginalization, particularly against the Oromo people.
The Imperative of a Social Contract for Stability
“Examining the failures of past regimes reveals a critical truth: without a genuine social contract, any political system within the Ethiopian empire is destined to fail, leaving nations and nationalities in perpetual suffering.”
Future: A Vision for Oromia Post-Abiy
The recurring failure of past regimes to establish a genuine social contract has left the Ethiopian empire in perpetual instability. Each regime’s fall can be attributed to their inability to foster inclusivity and address the needs and rights of the diverse nations and nationalities within the empire. The current regime under Abiy Ahmed is no different, as it follows the same path of authoritarianism and marginalization.
