Our Problems

The Indigenous Tuulamaa Oromo have encountered significant challenges, particularly displacement, since Ethiopia's establishment in the 1880s until the fall of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1969. This displacement has had a profound impact on their lives and cultural heritage. Between 1991 and 2018, roughly 1.8 million Tuulamaa Oromo families were forcibly removed from their homeland by the EPRDF (TPLF). This action, often justified by urban master plans, expansion, and industrial development, is widely viewed as unjust and inhumane, especially considering its support for the growth of religious organizations, including Orthodox and Islamic groups. These allegations suggest that these entities created fictitious Indigenous deities to mislead farmers and altered demographics through the establishment of new garrison communities.......

This situation has unfolded not only in major and minor cities such as Finfinnee, Hadaamaa, Bishooftuu, Mojjoo, Hamboo, Walisoo, Maqii, Fichee, and Garba-guaracha but also through ongoing displacement and secret ethnic genocide in regions including Selalee Zone, Weliso Zone, Hadama Zone, and Bamboo Zone, continuing up until December 16, 2024. The Tullamaa Oromo face historical and modern challenges, including assimilation and exclusion from essential services, leading to marginalization. Their rich culture is threatened by government policies that limit access to healthcare and education, along with systematic efforts to erase their presence from ancestral lands. A proposed solution aims to unify the Native Tulamaa Oromo by creating an institution to bridge political and religious divides, strengthen community ties, and enhance social cohesion. This initiative will start in Finfinnee and expand across Tuulamaa Land.
