In four previous articles (‘A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part I’ http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/72787 / ‘A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part II’ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/72897 / ‘A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part III’ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/73014 / ‘Every Oromo: A Leader in the Oromia Liberation Struggle (Part IV)’ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/73524), I focused on the weaknesses of the traditional political leadership, and I deployed an effort of identification of the Oromo Nation in 2008. Subsequently, I expanded on foe identification and concluded that the Oromos have fallen victims of Amhara Abyssinian expansionism and English colonialism.

Finally, I emphasized on the need for all the Oromos to take the initiative of leadership, and just put aside any discussion about, and consideration of, the current political formations, liberation fronts and independence movements that proved definitely unable to materialize the supreme goal of the Oromo Nation: Independent Oromia.

In a series of 15 questions, I presented a picture of missing endeavours and projects that the existing liberation fronts and independence movements failed to either completely materialize or partly promote. The ensuing result was visible in a dire comparison of online references (searched in Google) to Palestinians and Oromos: although triple in terms of population, the Oromos remain mainly unknown to the rest of the world.

- Who can help you, if they don’t know you?

To mend the situation, I suggested that all Oromos contribute to the formation of Groups of Oromo Liberation Activity – GOLA, which will be the vehicle to take the Oromos to the Independent Biyya Oromo. In this article, I will examine how the GOLA will be incepted, how they will function, and how they will keep Amhara intruders faraway.

Groups of Oromo Liberation Activity – GOLA

Every three or four Oromos who personally know one another well can form one GOLA unit. This sentence already means that all three or four are determined to do all it takes to bring Oromia as independent state back to life. They should be ready to die for this holy purpose or even physically eliminate any Abyssinian invader and settler, any foreign, illegal and inimical resident of Oromia’s territory.

The struggle for National Independence and Liberation is not a salon for pleasant stories and nice narratives; those who are not ready to physically eliminate any Abyssinian invader and settler, any foreign, illegal and inimical resident of Oromia’s territory, should desist and live as slaves, because they are slaves and not free humans.

In all parts of the world, a struggle for National Independence and Liberation means blood, killings, fights, attacks and violence. The same will happen in the mountains, the plains and the plateaus of Oromia that will prove to be the field of ultimate decimation and extermination of the criminal racist gangsters, the Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian invaders. Every Oromo must be ready for the most brutal act that will be needed in order to eradicate the filthy racist invader out of the Holy Land of Oromia.

However, a struggle for National Independence and Liberation does not reach its culmination in the very beginning but after a great, preparatory work; so, one must not think that the three or four people who will set up a GOLA unit will be immediately versed into attacks against the criminal and illegally present in Finfinnee Amhara racists.

In a liberation struggle, the question of time plays a key role; no one will take you seriously, if you suggest that it will last 40 years! That’s too much. But it will not happen in 6 months, and certainly this minimal span of time is not enough for the case of GOLA that launches a fresh approach, starting from scratch.

At this point, it is important to ask ourselves how much time has been spent for the liberation struggle in Oromia; if we consider the establishment of the OLF as a marking point (1973), it has already been 35 years! How fast has the time passed! If we go back to the death of the last king of Jimma, we will be constrained to count approximately 75 years! It looks long…

As the scope of this series of articles is not to criticize the past but to launch something new, I will not expand further. The aforementioned serves as basic understanding; when one starts from scratch, time does not matter. As it is known, the Oromo liberation struggle lasted in some cases for more than 120 years; consequently, the Oromos who passionately want to set up the different GOLA units and lead the Oromo liberation struggle must forget the issue of time; it may be 10 years, it may be 15 years. Does it truly matter? Already more than 15 years of anti-Oromo Woyane regime have passed! And already more than 35 years have passed since the establishment of the OLF…..

As I suggested, just few people, three or four, who personally know one another very well are enough to set up a GOLA unit. This may look extraordinary and many may have the willingness to ask me the question “how three or four people will be able to overthrow an entire criminal regime?” and many other similar points.

The answer to this sort of questions is very simple; three or four people can truly overthrown an empire,
if they believe they can (if you don’t believe it, stay at home and do nothing, just expect your death) and
if they do the right thing.

In fact, empires are idiotic and the Amhara criminal gangsters have been the most besotted people in the world, all intoxicated by the trash pseudo-theories of their illiterate and barbaric elites. The Truth in the minds, the thoughts, and the beliefs of the Oromos is an incomparable strength that can help outmaneuver the devices and the schemes of many. The reason Oromia has not yet been liberated is due to the lack of the correct know how.

It goes without saying that if throughout Oromia only three or four people set up one GOLA unit only, then certainly the effort will bring some fruits, but it will fall short of bringing the end of the illegal Amhara occupation of Finfinne and Oromia.

I personally believe that a great number of Oromos in occupied Oromia and in the Diaspora can set up dozens of thousands of GOLA units, thus advancing fast in the path of national liberation and independence. Of course, this does not mean that, if within a month 1 million GOLA units will be formed, the liberation struggle will meet a successful end within a year.

One has to truly understand that ground work has to be carried out first; this is what was not done by the so far existing Oromo independence movements and liberation fronts, and this is the reason Oromia has not yet been liberated. Unless the ground work is done, even if Oromia is liberated through foreign intervention, the new, ‘independent’ country will not truly be independent but a tool in the hands of the great powers that found interest in creating a new country in order to use it for some purpose of theirs; what a jolly and promising future!

That’s why when three or four Oromos meet in a room and set up a GOLA unit, the time disappears, and the interest about Oromo political parties, liberation movements, leaders and the likes, evaporates; there cannot be even a concern about what other Oromos do, and who is organized in another GOLA unit and who is not.

All that matters for the three or four Oromos who are ready to form a GOLA unit is their security and the work they may wish to carry out and thus contribute to the liberation of Oromia. The choice is free.

Security of a GOLA unit is a critical matter; perhaps not for the beginning but for a second stage of fight and struggle that may come after a year or two. However, the proper measures must be taken from now, from the very first moment, from the inception time of the GOLA unit.

All the Oromos may remember very well various narrations about, and denunciations of, Amhara fifth column inside this or that Oromo organization; this has nothing to do with solely the Oromos or Amharas, but it pertains to traditional forms of political leadership, which even when clandestine, can be successfully deviated from its original objectives. The entire story relates to infiltration tactics that consist in an entire chapter of the World Military History (typical modern use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_column).

GOLA units can prove to be Oromos’ only impenetrable organizations, and this is a sheer point of superiority vis-à-vis the current political formations. As I said, a GOLA unit can be established out of three or four people – only. There is – practically speaking – no need to have ten (10) people involved in a unit, at least in the very beginning. They will not make it stronger, but weaker.

Proper clandestine organization that remains impenetrable needs few, determined people at its original stage; suffice it that they know personally one another very well. Three or four people is a good number because what matters in the very beginning is the following:

1. the unit should be impenetrable by Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinians, and

2. a great part of basic work has to be carried out.

The three or four persons, who agree to form a GOLA unit, must have known one another for many long years, eventually since their childhood; they must have shared for many long years the same approach to their Oromo identity, the same belief in the rise of an independent state of Oromia with capital at Finfinnee, the same conviction that the criminal Amhara and the Tigray – who are still today illegally on Oromia’s soil – must be expulsed by force out of the Land of Oromia that they sully through their barbaric presence, their fake and debilitated ideas, and their racist, anti-Oromo attitudes, schemes and hatred.

Never suggest to participate in a GOLA unit to someone whom you don’t know for many years, to anybody whose ideas have not been very well known to you, and to anyone who never expressed an explicit denial of the Amhara barbarism and anti-Oromo racism! You risk to fail dramatically.

Never imagine that, after having set your objectives, you will materialize them earlier than anticipated by inviting people whom you came to know just last week. There is no rush! Last week’s new acquaintance will acquire functional importance after five years of personal relationship.

And there is no need for interpersonal enthusiasm! Enthusiasm is very important at the level of the beliefs, the ideas, and the convictions; and enthusiasm is of seminal importance at the level of the work, the endeavour, the projects set as target.

Enthusiasm for the liberation of Oromia means passion for performance of (self-) assigned tasks, fervor for ceaseless contribution to the Common Cause, ardor for daily dedication to the GOLA projects, and excitement for result delivery; enthusiasm for the liberation of Oromia does not mean stupid joy for enrolling members, silly satisfaction for gathering in big numbers (when the necessary work is still not done) and inane happiness for raising funds at the time of mismanagement.

There is always a possibility that many are ineffective, whereas many times few prove to be the most effective; this must be always brought back in mind.

Top guarantee for effectiveness is security; never involve people whom you met recently. You can still be good friend with someone who will never know your involvement in a GOLA unit.

Useless to add that there is no need for publicity about you being a member in a GOLA unit. All that matters is the work you carry out – and its publicizing, as I will further analyze.

Another guarantee for effectiveness is commitment; do not get involved unless you are ready to give to the GOLA unit in which you belong all that is needed from your daily time, care, concern, and eventually some financial support.

At the first stage of work, there will be involved only Oromos who can write and read; only at the second stage of work, uneducated Oromos will be involved. In any case, literacy programs will have to be the purpose of work of several GOLA units.

Bear in mind, before establishing a GOLA unit, that you are bound only to the subjugated Oromo Nation, the traditional Oromo values and principles, ideals and rules. No law of the Abyssinian occupation forces is, or can ever be held as, of a certain value for you. The laws and the regulations of the racist state of fake ‘Ethiopia’ are the world’s most disgusting excretion of governmental racism, bestiality and paranoia.

Anything that violates a law in Abyssinia (fallaciously re-baptized ‘Ethiopia’) is an auspicious act; anything that helps utterly demolish the criminal pseudo-state ‘Ethiopia’ is an act blessed by God. Simply, every Oromo engaged in a GOLA unit should be ready to do his/her ingenious best in order to escape Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian malignancy and evilness.

A GOLA unit must be launched at any time; today, tomorrow, after tomorrow, whenever three or four Oromos set up a meeting to discuss the idea, and to take the decision to see Oromia’s liberation as their own concern, work, and duty.

The number of works and endeavours, projects and undertakings needed at the first level is very high; of course, we cannot properly count them, as every project may be divided and subdivided into many. In fact, the necessary projects and endeavours may be at the level of some thousands of separate points. I will further expand on the subject in forthcoming articles. What matters to be clarified here is that in fact there can be hundreds of thousands of GOLA units; they would involve millions of yet not mobilized Oromos whose commitment is essential for the national liberation effort.

Of course, when three or four people meet and decide about what task to assign to themselves, without contacting any other Oromo, it is very clear that they cannot know whether the subject they assign to themselves as task for a period of let’s say two years has already been undertaken by others in another part of Oromia or among the Diaspora. But this does not matter. It is of truly minor importance; some sections of the overall Oromo liberation project will certainly be available in duplicate or in a greater number of copies. This is to be expected, and there is nothing wrong in it.

When three or four Oromos meet to launch a GOLA unit, they must agree once forever for the time and the effort they are ready to accord to the project on daily basis. This must be an irreversible agreement, and must certainly involve an occupation of 3 to 5 hours on daily basis, and for at least five days per week. Relevant to the very patriotism of the involved Oromos, this commitment should be viewed as the top life choice, and all the rest must be consequently considered as secondary.

It will be better if, in every GOLA unit, small tasks are assigned (through an approach of subdividing endeavours and projects), and then following the completion of the first assignment, a second task could be agreed upon.

In a forthcoming article, I will expand on the possible projects and endeavours that Oromos have to undertake, organizing themselves in small GOLA units. By reviewing the question points in the last article of the series, one can already get an idea about the wide range of work demanded; however, there is much more than that.

How a coordination will be later – at a second stage – effectuated, and how this will usher the Oromos, as an entire society, into a final clash with the criminal, totalitarian Abyssinian state and the Amhara and Tigray settlers will be the subjects of further articles.

Note: The Oromos have to realize that all of them will be leaders in the struggle for national liberation. Brave Oromo fighters cannot do the entire work by themselves; all the Oromos must be mobilized, and ground work done. From: http://www.oromoliberationfront.org/Images/Gallary/OLA/OLA.htm
