My Travels in 2014 - April 29, Dire Dawa, Ethiopia

The Colours of Dire Dawa

Ethiopia is certainly a colourful country and most recently Harar has been a city full of reds, greens, blues, etc. but when it comes to the old houses of the Megala district of Dire Dawa, colours and patterns seem to go wild.

I AM FROM OROMIYA.

I am Oromo. From Oromiya. We were a nation of our own before the Abbysinian expansion- which is now know as Ethiopia. We had our own political and egalitarian system known as the Gada system. That’s how we ruled for a long time before the British empire allied with Abyssinia to kill off my people and recreate the borders of Abyssinia. That’s how Oromiya was colonized. Now think about the bullshit Ethiopians have been telling you about the only country in Africa to never have been colonized.. Think about it. It’s so sick how they boast about that shit so proudly knowing what my people went through for them to make this sick ass claim. This means we were ALWAYS Oromo and STILL are OROMO. India was colonized by the British but did they conform and claim to be British? Nah. Not only that, but we are oppressed- jailed (Oromos make up the largest prison population in Ethiopia), raped, tortured, displaced from our homes and farmlands, our language- an indigenous people’s language was banned up until 1992. Yet, the ignorant of ignorants paint us as Ethiopians, habeshas, etc. They claim that Oromo is a “tribe”.. Bihh.. Oromiya is made up of more than ELEVEN tribes. Afaan Oromo- the Oromo language spoken by Oromo people- is in the top ten most spoken languages in the whole CONTINENT of Africa. We make up the SINGLE LARGEST ethnic population in East Africa. The erasure of my people is too real. It’s no accident that majority of the world has never even heard of the word Oromo let alone its people. That’s how oppression and colonization works. Tuh.
