The Sinister Dirty Game of the PP Regime with Moyale

Excerpt

The Moyale annexation saga is no accident — it is the latest chapter in the OPDO/PP regime’s betrayal of Oromia. While the Somali parliament claims Oromo land, Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa remain shamefully silent. From orchestrated ethnic tension to psychological fear-mongering, the regime is using Moyale as a pawn not only to manage narratives but also to cling to power ahead of the 2026 elections. But the Oromo people are no longer fooled. The betrayal is exposed. And Oromia is no longer silent.

The Moyale Plot and the Crumbling Mask of Sinister Act

The OPDO/PP regime’s betrayal of Oromia has taken a darker and more desperate turn. In a bold and unlawful move, the Somali regional parliament recently declared the annexation of Moyale town and adjacent Oromo districts — without legal basis, without consultation, and most damningly, without a word of protest from either the Oromia or the federal administration [1].

This isn’t a rogue act. It’s a deliberate, high-level maneuver — one that weaponizes Moyale as a chess piece in the regime’s broader campaign to sow chaos, divide the Oromo people, and hang onto power by any means necessary.

Marro Dirriba Saw It First — and Said It Loud

On July 31, OLA Commander Marro Dirriba delivered a powerful analysis in response to the Moyale declaration [2]. His message was piercingly clear:

 “There is no enmity between the Oromo and Somali people… This is a plan concocted by the PP regime for its own dirty ends… On the contrary our common enemy is the PP regime.”

Marro spoke not only as a freedom fighter and military commander, but as a political voice with sharper clarity than many so-called analysts. He saw Moyale’s annexation not as an isolated event, but as part of a pattern — a blueprint of deception and betrayal.

Three days later, on August 3, independent political podcaster and analyst Sajid Nadeem confirmed, reportedly corroborated by independent sources, what many Oromos suspected all along. In his report, “Ethiopian ruling party plays a dangerous divisive card [3],” he exposed the scheme as a fabricated crisis designed to derail Oromo unity, particularly in response to the Oromo National Dialogue (OND) launched on July 19, 2025 and mainly due to the 2026 election. This is the case because the usual propaganda is running out of steam with mountains of OPDO/PP deceptions laid bare.

The OPDO/PP Regime Thrives on Manufactured Chaos

This isn’t the first time. The TPLF-led EPRDF used this exact playbook — stoking interethnic violence, then posing as peacekeepers. Over 10,000 people died and 2 million were displaced during the regime-manufactured Oromo–Somali conflict nearly a decade ago.

Most of the problems today are the poison seeds planted by EPRDF. Don’t lose sight that EPRDF that begot the OPDO/PP raised and nurtured them to act alike but different in name only.

Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa have simply perfected that same strategy:

They pit Oromo against Amhara, using state-enabled militias like “Abiy Ahmed’s Fano.”

They ignite border clashes with Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Sidama, and the Southern Nations — always from Oromia’s side.

As Marro Dirriba articulated, the Oromo people has no enmity with nations and nationalities of adjoining regions. It is only the chaos manufactured as a political calculus, to try to disrespectfully dumbdown the kind and wise people of Oromia by self-centered OPDO/PP duo of Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa.

And now, as before nearly a decade ago, they are using the Somali region as a proxy, with the tacit blessing of both the federal and Oromia administrations.

Weaponizing Identity: Playing The Oromo Card

Perhaps the most grotesque part of the regime’s playbook is how it weaponizes Oromo identity itself — using it not to empower, but to coerce.

Here’s the unspoken message pushed by party loyalists, operatives, and the media echo chamber. Imagine Abiy Ahmed [unashamedly] saying the following from a podium:

 “You are surrounded by enemies — Amhara, Somali, Afar, etc. The Oromo freedom fighters [he calls them Shanee] in the hills can’t save you. Only we, already in power with tanks and banks, can protect you. Don’t throw away this golden opportunity — the Oromo government. Stand with us — or you’re doomed.”

But Oromos are seeing through the deception.

Because they now ask:

• Who massacred the 14 Karrayyuu Abbaa Gadaas? Assassinated Battee Urgeessaa, Hacaaluu Hundeessa, Abduljabbar Hussien, Daadhii Galaan, and dozens of precious Oromo as inconvenient voices of Oromia?
• Only days ago, who remained silent when a vital piece of Oromia,  Moyale, was declared annexed?
• Who profits while Oromia’s borders shrink and its civilians are disarmed not to protect themselves?
• What kind of “Oromo government” presides over a shrinking Oromia, while its people are dispossessed, disempowered, and impoverished — in a land overflowing with natural wealth?
• What does the Oromo tyranny under Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa say with thousands perished, hundreds of thousands incarcerated or fled their homeland, millions impoverished, while a selected few of OPDO/PP politicians, allied military elites and their Faarseebulaas [4] live a lavish lifestyle that extends to paid schooling of their children abroad, all supported by taxpayers’ money?

The Objective: Survival Through Sabotage

Three things terrify Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa:

1. The rising unity of the Oromo people.
   Initiatives like the Oromo National Dialogue (OND) signal a new political awakening. The regime’s lies are in the open. Propaganda is collapsing, and people are organizing.
2. The total erosion of regime legitimacy.
   The mask of “Oromo-led governance” has fallen. The Oromo public sees through the deception and betrayal. Even former loyalists now walk in silence or shame.
3. The 2026 national election.
   With no successes to point to and mounting scandals, the regime is running out of time and credibility. In the face of united opposition, and sinister deceptions laid bare, the usual propaganda is running out of steam, and only chaos can delay its reckoning — and that’s precisely what it’s trying to create.

Our Question to the Somali Parliament

While we recognize that this crisis was carefully staged by the Federal administration, with the Oromia and Somali regional administrations as willing collaborators, there is still a question that must be asked — not to the puppeteers in Finfinnee, but to the Somali Parliament itself.

Regimes rise and fall. Administrations change. But the Oromo and Somali peoples will always remain neighbors — bound by geography, shared history, trade, kinship, and lived experience. No manufactured crisis can erase that.

So we ask you:

• What legacy are you building by playing into this dirty scheme?
• What future are you forging by declaring Oromo lands as your own — without dialogue, without consensus, without truth?

You, too, are victims of a regime that thrives on distraction and deception. But in choosing to provoke rather than protect this brotherhood, you risk poisoning the well of solidarity for short-term political gain.

History is watching. The people are watching. And your actions will be remembered — long after Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa are gone.

If the Somali Parliament truly represents its people, not just its current handlers, then it must answer this question with clarity, humility, and courage:

Do you stand with truth and co-existence — or with a regime built on division, deceit, and betrayal?

Conclusion: Oromia Is Not for Sale — and Not for Sabotage

The silence of Shimelis Abdissa in the face of land theft is not incompetence — it is deliberate betrayal. The manipulation by Abiy Ahmed is not leadership — it is a scorched-earth campaign to cling to power.

This is not self-rule, and this is not federalism. It is a toxic regime sacrificing Oromia to sustain itself, using fear, division, and disinformation as its weapons of choice.

But history is turning. The people are watching. The silence is cracking. And no dirty game can outlast the truth — not this time.
