Do Oromos based in Ethiopia consider themselves Ethiopian and are proud to be so? Or do you guys prefer to secede? I’m a Somali from Somali Galbeed (aka Ogadenia), ik we are close to oromos both being Cushitic so I guess im just curious. I grew up w Oromos and my parents speak Oromo. Also interestingly enough, my grandparents lived among borans and i was suprised to learn that they are Oromo. So growing up, I’d see my friends repping oromiya. All in all, i love my oromo brothers and sisters!
I guess I am asking because I’ve recently come across a coworker who is a super proud, nationalistic Ethiopian typa guy. Pretty chill guy I won’t lie and we always get into random political topics and speak ab controversial stuff but I guess I’m confused. Cuz I had thought a lot of Oromos were similar to Somalis in wanting to separate? I don’t meant to offensive btw, just super curious
