Likewise, we understand the importance of an alliance for the Tigray people and the TPLF. We understand that Tigray should have bilateral agreements with the powers that be in order to guard against the possibility of being besieged once again. We stand in solidarity with them in their fight against the regime that committed genocide on them before and is committing it now. But we also want them to understand why we won’t unconditionally stand with Faannoo.

They need to understand that standing with Faannoo is like formally inviting them and supporting them in their continuing genocidal war in Oromia. It is like supporting PP’s regime in its war against our people and the peoples beyond Oromia. For us, there is no difference between the two, as both are engaged in active genocidal wars against the Oromo. Ours has been the unfortunate task of fighting the same war from two sides that fell out with each other on ways of ‘disciplining” and subjugating Oromos and the other others of Ethiopia.

Finally, about the individuals who have entered into this Alliance in the name of the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA): Let it be known to all that these individuals (such as Marroo Dirribaa and Jireenyaa Guddataa) are trying to get the legitimacy they have long lost in the army by seeking recognition from outside. For over a year, this group has severed its relationship with the commanders, the EXECUTIVE TEAM (aka Gumii Shanee) and has been hiding from members who ask questions. Operating mostly from outside Oromia, they have been dividing and destabilising the army, assassinating and marginalising commanders who raise questions and seek clarification, conspiring with enemies (twice with the PP Regime and for over a year with Faannoo), and are now joining Fannoo to enable this new chapter of genocidal war on our peoples. The request by the leadership to hold a Congress, assess the situation, and correct their mistakes fell on deaf ears.

The result is what we see now: the treasonous individuals forming an unprincipled alliance with Fannoo in the name of OLA which the vast majority of the army (I can say almost all except the stoodges and assassins serving Marroo) is standing against.

The Alliance that was supposed to shorten the days of the PP regime is probably contributing to the prolonging of the life of PP in power—if only unwittingly. This is because the people, disappointed by the mistake these individuals are making (in entering into an alliance with Fannoo) seem to be drifting away by the day to support Abiy’s regime rather than the Alliance. This is happening despite the best of our efforts making a call to the people to reject the false choice offered to the Oromo public (to side with either Fanno or PP).

For the Oromo and the peoples of the wider south, the two are one and the same except the difference in (their current physical) position. And the choice before us is a false choice. Our task is to fight these forces wherever, whenever, until our peoples achieve the freedom they deserve.

Hence, the mayhem and chaos they have been causing lately on civilians in East Wallaggaa,South West and Southwest Shoa,and Gurage Zone of Ethiopia.

The Oromo public have no problem with alliances per se. I, for one, have been one of the lone voices calling for an “alliance for peace”, an alliance against the regime that trades in war and does not seem to survive or thrive without war. I have long been part of the movement for Solidarity of Nations. I have worked closely with this group towards forming the United Front (a coalition of national liberation fronts fighting for self-determination) against the PP regime (from 2019-2022).
That was not just a tactical alliance. It was an alliance of national forces who have clearly stated shared strategic interests (towards self-determination through a peaceful, just, democratic, and inclusive transitional arrangement) beyond deposing the regime. That was an alliance towards forming a clearly mapped out political dispensation that is pegged on the principles of (substantive) peace, (transitional) justice, collective (self-determination) and individual (human) rights, democracy, equality, and solidarity. That was a principled alliance. It was definitely more than a war pact.
The problem we have with the so-called “Alliance for Survival” is the unconditional/unqualified inclusion of the Fanno in what would otherwise be an alliance for peace and national survival. Like PP, Fano is an equally war-mongering and genocidal formation with an overtly terrorist tactics. Fano is a collective name for a group of disparate armed/terrorist formations with no political vision (no political program to date, save for one posted by a faction self-styled as Amhara Fano Peoples’ Organisation).
It’s no accident that they can’t articulate the end game post-Abiy. They can’t say exactly what they are fighting for. It is no exaggeration to say that they are simply “rebels without cause.” But the fact that they are the only ones (in the Amhara inhabited areas of the region) resisting the regime’s indiscriminate violence unleashed on the people has made them a “rallying point” for all disaffected folks, thereby giving them a cloak of legitimacy and an appearance of a political formation.
The Fano public statements, media reports, and protracted social media campaigns on a plethora of platforms suggests that they are not a force that the Oromo and the “other” peoples of Ethiopia can form an alliance with. Their terrorist acts (like beheading a young civilian person, massacring women and children, burning down farms, harvests, mills, and private properties, displacing Oromos in tens of thousands as part of their ethnic cleansing projects, etc) will always stand between them and the Oromo public. At the very least, the Alliance should have asked them for an explanation about their terrorist tactics, their complicity in and active prosecution of genocidal projects, their expansionist rhetoric, their anti-multinationalist anti-federalist stances, etc etc.
The Oromo public understands that the PP regime is prosecuting a brutal and unnecessary (and possibly genocidal) war in the Amhara region. We denounce the PP war against the peoples of the region and we stand in solidarity with them. However, we cannot stand with an armed formation self-styled as Fano that continues (even after the establishment of the Alliance) to wage genocidal war on Oromos. We have questions to ask of them. Explanations and apologies to demand where due. We have change of hearts for us yet to see in them. We need to see them making pledges to desist from their terrorist tactics, expansionist ambitions, and genocidal streaks (both in words and deeds).

SPARE US THE FALSE CHOICE: FOR THE OROMO, PP AND FANNO ARE ONE AND THE SAME!
======================
As far as the Oromo is concerned, there is no difference between PP and Faannoo. They both target Oromos for attack and Oromia for dismantling. They have both been doing this for the last 8 years. During the first four of these 8 years, they have been doing it in collaboration and coordination. They have both waged and executed a genocidal war on Oromia, and they are both executing it to perfection until this very moment.

Their partnership in all the genocidal wars they waged and prosecuted together (between 2018 and 2022) was not an accident, nor was it merely tactical. That they have the same modus operandi (using war as politics, terror as a method, and genocide of their perceived ethno-national “enemy” as a strategy) is not an accident, either. They are just extension of one another. Together, they perpetrated state-terror (2018-2022). Having gone apart, they are still applying the same terrorist/genocidal tactics in their own realms. They both consider the Oromo and the other nations of Ethiopia as their nemesis. They define the Oromo and other nations, especially the Oromo, as their unrelenting “historical enemies.”

PP and Faannoo are not essentially different from one another. They are just extensions of one another. No, they were one and the same. They were using, and acting from the same script: that of the restorationists of the old Abyssinian empire (a la Kibre_Negest). And they desire the return of the Ethiopian politics to the medieval times.

They have the same political DNA. They operate from, and towards, the same road map. In undoing the (constitutional) promise of self-determination and multinational democracy, they are one and the same. For example, they both used the so called National Dialogue Forum as a platform for their shared goal of “restoration” of their fantasy of imperial glory.

The fact that PP tabled anti-Oromo agenda in the Dialogue Commission and they all (Faannoo at the top) danced to its soundbite is a testament to this fact. In fact, we all know that the agenda of revising the constitution in the name of “National Dialogue “ was set, framed and given to Abiy in 2018 by none other than the Faannoo and its many tentacles (like NAMA, ECSJ, etc). Just remember the series of anti Oromo public statements issued regarding Finfinnee, Dirree-Dhawaa, and other Oromo cities and territories; or their position about what should be a single “National “ language; about the structure of regional administration; etc, etc. You will see who had a self-proclaimed “stake” in it just as much as the PP regime.

The fact that some of their daft imperial overtures were rebuffed in the Commission by the Oromo and the other others of the state caused a shared, albeit variantly bitter, disappointment and frustration among the members of both PP and Faannoo is another testament to their fundamental oneness/unity.
They have the same end goal: the rehabilitation and resuscitation of the old Abyssinian empire.
To do this, they both want to erase the constitution, undo the multinational federal set up, and de-recognize equality among nations and faiths. Initially, they sought to use Abiy for the task—until they fell out with each other over Tigray, their territorial claim there, and the Pretoria Ceasefire Agreement (PCA).True to character, as partners in a seemingly timeless war pact, their relationship could not survive the “peace” (promised by the PCA). They found Abiy indigestible. And they stuck to their guns, literally.

And they started their campaign against Abiy as a veiled genocidal and terrorist campaign against anything and everything Oromo. Literally. Hence, the unfiltered anti Oromo propaganda (hate speech, ethnic slur, vilification, and demonization of Oromos, Oromia, and Oromummaa ). Beyond the discursive violence which otherwise is stochastic terrorism, they continue to foment a similarly genocidal war campaign on the Oromo people.
