    The Compendium of Ignorance: Anatomy of Amhara Pseudo-Elite Stereotypes Against the Oromo

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-10-092025-10-09

    Ignorance, when disguised as intellect, has long shaped Ethiopia’s moral decay. This compendium exposes how Amhara pseudo-elites turned mockery of Oromo language, names, and heritage into a badge of honour. Through evidence, reflection, and irony, it reveals that ignorance is not mere absence of knowledge — it is the arrogance that resists enlightenment.

    When Falsehoods Wear Fancy Fonts: The Absurdity of Manufactured Maps

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-04-172025-04-17

    There’s something truly ironic about attempts to rewrite history—how they often stumble on the very tools they try to wield. A case in point: a laughable “13th-century map of Abyssinia” now making the rounds. A single glance at its slick, pixel-perfect typography and digitally crisp outlines is enough to raise eyebrows. We are expected to…

    The Unshakable Truth: Finfinnee is an Oromo City

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-02-182025-02-28

    Ignorance is our enemy. When we are devoid of facts and logic, all we have is raw emotion. Emotion alone won’t do it. Rewriting fake history, like the fabricated narrative of Barara, won’t change reality. No amount of rhetorical flourish can override the weight of facts. And the fact of the matter is this: Finfinnee…

    The Futility of Denial: How Historical Revisionism Undermines Inter-Ethnic Cohesion in Ethiopia

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-02-172025-02-20

    Excerpt Historical revisionism is no mere academic exercise—it is a powerful political tool that shapes memory, identity, and power. In Ethiopia’s modern politics, the deliberate use of imperial-era place names like “Nazareth” instead of “Adama” signals a deeper resistance to Oromo identity restoration. This article explores how such symbolic acts, like Dr. Desalegn Chanie’s recent…

    The Anatomy of an Unforced Error: When Leadership Blunders Cross the Line

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-02-142025-02-23

    Some mistakes are mere slip-ups, while others leave the world scratching its head. The latter category—unforced errors of a daft kind—carries a special weight, often revealing deeper flaws in leadership, judgment, and strategic thinking. These aren’t the minor lapses of an exhausted official or the misstatements of an off-the-cuff remark; rather, they are self-inflicted wounds…

    When Those Who Should Protect You Become the Perpetrators

    This article was part-featured in Ethio Forum’s news documentary: የሽመልስ አብዲሳ የምስጢር ሠራዊት፤ ነጌኛዎቹ ወታደሮች (5 Feb 2025). What Do You Do When Power Becomes the Criminal? How do you describe the indescribable? How do you find words for a reality so twisted that it defies logic, morality, and even the most basic human decency?…

    ETHIOPIA WILL NEVER BE AT PEACE WITHOUT RESOLVING THE OROMO QUESTIONS

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-12-022025-01-21
    2 Comments

    Take this as an axiom: no peace with the Oromo means no peace for Ethiopia. The reality is simple yet profound: Oromia is the heart of Ethiopia. It serves as the empire’s economic hub and defines Ethiopia in every sense of the word for its existence. Without addressing the Oromo questions, the foundation of Ethiopia’s…

    On PM Abiy Ahmed's Mockery of the OLF’s Fifty-Year Struggle

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-11-282025-01-21

    by Elemoo Qilxuu “Look at the OLF—fifty years. In those fifty years of OLF struggle, what have the Oromo people benefited? It’s time to sit down and review. Exhaustion!, exhaustion.” “ተመልከቱ ኦነግን ሀምሳ አመት፤ ሀምሳ አመት በኦነግ ትግል የኦሮሞ ህዝብ ምን ጥቅም አገኘ? ቁጭ ብሎ መገምገም ያስፈልጋል። ድካም! ድካም።” — PM Abiy Ahmed, October 31,…

    What a heartbreaking yet profoundly moving photograph—the family of the late Battee Urgeessaa, gathered together, embodying both the weight of sorrow and the fragile hope of new beginnings. Battee Urgeessaa, a renowned Oromo politician and tireless advocate for justice, was tragically taken from his family, community, and people on the night leading into Wednesday, April…

    How the Educated Elites Lost the Plot as the Tide is Turning: Using Education to Inflame Rather Than Heal

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-11-132025-01-21

    by Elemoo Qilxuu When I saw these three people, the screen characters from The Three Stooges came to mind, albeit in a darker way. The Three Stooges evoke a mix of slapstick chaos, quick wit, and timeless, absurd humor that holds a special place in comedy history. But for these three Amhara elites, what replaces…

    The Comedy of Errors

    An Ad Hoc Personal Blog on Current Affairs. Look no further! I’m not talking about Shakespeare’s play. I’m simply borrowing its title as a metaphor. A “comedy of errors” typically describes a situation marked by a cascade of mistakes, misunderstandings, or coincidences that spiral out of control, often with humorous or absurd results. When people…

    The Brazen Arrogance of Idiotic Charlatans: Claiming Credits They Never Owned

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-05-09

    Imagine Nazi sympathizers ramping up their propaganda efforts to falsely claim credit for the victory achieved by the Allied Powers, all in a bid to maintain their grip on power. Their narrative spins a tale of liberation and freedom, attempting to convince the masses that they were the ones responsible for the victory. However, this…

    Battee Urgeessaa Is Gone, Who Will Be Next For Koree Nageenyaa's Gestapo?

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-04-112025-01-21

    An accomplished Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) political figure was assassinated last night. His assassination was made to coincide with one of the major religious holidays, Ramadan, presumably calculated to bury the news amidst the celebratory atmosphere. The cruelty of the Ethiopian regime is only matched by the character of the martyr, Jaal Battee Urgeessaa, renowned…

    WALLO OROMO'S VALOR: DEFIANCE AGAINST GENOCIDE

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-03-20

    In the heartland of bravery, Wallo Oromos stand tall, 400 years of resilience, enduring the genocide call. But in the shadows of dawn, during sacred Ramadan’s grace, Fanno’s terror strikes, preying on a fasting weakened race. Separated from brethren, by lines drawn in cruel game, Abyssinians’ hands, carved out, leaving Wallo in quarantined shame. Oromia’s…

    ETHIOPIA'S 6 BIG LIES FUELING ITS IMPENDING COLLAPSE

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2024-03-132025-04-22

    Ethiopia’s looming collapse, the article argues, stems from six enduring lies that distort its identity and history—from the myth of a 3,000-year nation and claims of never being colonized to the illusion of unity and heroism. These deceptions, sustained by political elites and echoed through propaganda, have fractured trust, erased diversity, and silenced truth. Unless Ethiopia confronts these falsehoods, embraces genuine federalism, and addresses historical injustices—particularly against the Oromo—its instability will deepen beyond repair.

    10 Profound Contrasts Between OLA and Amhara Fano

    This article explores ten defining contrasts between the Oromo Liberation Army OLA and Amhara Fano, delving into their origins, ideologies, objectives, and conduct. It highlights OLA’s structured organization, democratic principles, and disciplined operations, juxtaposed with Fano’s fragmented composition, supremacist tendencies, and violent methods—revealing two divergent visions within Ethiopia’s ongoing struggle for identity and power.
