Oroma invasion of Somaliland - Video

[galbeedi]

Che,

 

The Oromo migrants flooding to Somaliland , Puntland and other places are mostly people who share religious, cultural and tribal lineage with those of Somali origin. The Jaarso are mostly peasant farmers who are part of Somali clan family.

 

I know the Duriyada may not like it, but those Oromos that inhabit Dire Dawa, Fayanbiiro, Hawaas and neighboring Oromo territories are Somalis who originate from the D.....R clan family. They are our distant cousins. Most of the Jaarso Oromos inter marry from Somalis , and, after one generation they usually claim to be Somali. Thy integrate easily like any Somali clan from Ethiopia or other places.

 

Of course there are animist and some Christian Oromos, but those groups mostly transit through Somalia to reach other destinations. Those mostly found in Boosaaso are there for " Tahriib".

 

Others are called " warooyin", just like those in the inter river Somalis , it is easy to join and be part of the " Warro" clan family. If you can speak the language , you could be one of them.

 

In Somalilnd and Djibouti, they became integral part of the work force. In Hargeisa, Borama and many places, they are the only reliable people who could do most of the menial jobs. IN Hargeisa, they are over 100,000 people. They work in restaurants, garages, homes, small tea shops and farms. Without them life will completely stop. What most people do not understand is that native city born men lost the ability to perform any physical job. iddle sitting and " Chat" chewing made them immobile and lazy. Without them the garbage in Hargeisa could be like mountains.

 

I have family members in Borama who never worked one single day in the last 15 years, yet , they live and chew Chat daily. In Djibouti , it is even worse. If you stroll one of the boulevards in the late afternoon, all you see is well dressed women enjoying the fresh air with no men in sight. They are all indoors chewing. Worse, every minister, or oligarch have an Oromo security guard , nanny or housekeeper to make life easier for the lazy family.

 

As Coofle, said the Oromos are the only people who could grow and replenish the disappearing Somali people. Every year an average of 1000 Somali youth leaves Soomaliland to find life outside their home. We need them , besides, they're not going anywhere.

 

Also, when Somalia comes back , definitely the Tigre will loose power and the Oromos who are on the rise will be our allies. You better treat them while they are our guests.

It is odd how the consensus here is to let things as they are. That is wrongheaded and foolishly liberal minded. Somalis have no right to be xenophobic given our sad history as refugees and migrants outside our country of origin. But Somalia can't be an economic outlet and dumping ground for an Ethiopian population of 90 million. One is just inviting takeover by population by continuing on current trends having already been taken over politically. I think the relevant administrations should do what they can to stop new migrants entering and crack down at the borders. But there shouldn't be any chauvinistic actions or violence taken by either government or the people. As to the prospects of integrating these folks - at least the ones who have been there some time - it is already happening but then this becomes another pull factor for more migrants. If real actions to stem the flow aren't taken now - I can't imagine what will happen if Somalia does get its act together finally.

dont worry somaliland can easily absord 10 million oromos but they need integration,remember oromo are our next of kin.the gov must welcome these oromo with open harms and give them rights.

[Che -Guevara]

Oromo are not our next of kin, thinking so is self delusion. There are a nation with their own ambitions. Some of those ambitions will inevitable contradict our interests.

 

That said, xenophobia should not be tolerated!!
