Oromo Youth Association in Arizona (OYAA) Resolution on the Recent OMN Fallouts

It is to be recalled that the OYAA was founded in Phoenix Arizona by Oromo youth living there and ever since its founding the OYAA has been at the focal point of Oromo struggle against human rights violations leveled against Oromos living in Ethiopia by organizing protests and making statements on various Media here in Arizona. The 50 plus members of the OYAA are working together harmoniously for the cause of Oromo unity putting aside their political and religious views. The founding of the soccer team Calanqo by these members for the first time in Arizona is a testament to the unity of this group. One of the goals of the OYAA is to work to safeguard the peace, prosperity and other interests for Oromos around the world. The OYAA believes that unity amongst Oromos is indispensable to the realization of these goals.

The OYAA members strongly believe that problems faced by Oromos anywhere are also OYAA’s own problems. As such the group would like to register their concerns about the fallouts that recently took place at Oromo Media Networks (OMN) and the associated destructive developments. This is not at all intended to attack any one individual and we ask all Oromos to recognize that!

1. Regarding the founders of OMN

We understand that OMN was founded by a group of dedicated individuals who offered their expertise, time and money to realize it. We believe that all of those individuals who may or may not now be with OMN should be accorded the proper credit for their good work.

2. Regarding current leaders of OMN

We have great confidence in the current leadership of OMN that they have the right experience and expertise in managing similar problems should they happen again for the following reasons:

1. The leaders are Oromos own children who have come from all over Oromiya.
2. The leaders have earned respect and trust from Oromos by virtue of their educational backgrounds and experience.

We support the statements made by the OMN investigative committee regarding the recent problems and urge the leadership at OMN to continue to exercise this practice of internal problem resolution diligently. We urge those who cast aspersions at this committee and this new process of conflict-resolution to refrain from engaging in such destructive behaviors.

3. Regarding current OMN workers

We believe that all OMN workers should be allowed to work in an environment free of any kind of pressure. We have only deep admiration and gratitude for those of you who have worked there and informed the Oromo public on many things. We urge the workers to make good use of the OMN policy for problem resolution should any problem arise while working for OMN in the future. If unable to get a resolution, we urge you to reach out to the Oromo public without leaving your post at OMN. OYAA will stand with you and work towards a solution.

4. Regarding other Oromo Media

We thank the various Oromo Media around the world for reporting on the recent OMN problem and for interviewing those involved. We regret to say that some of the reporting have been biased and portrayed OMN as a rival rather than complimentary news outlet. We urge you to correct this mistake and do neutral reporting as any news media should.

5. Regarding social media activists who are spreading negative propaganda

We thank some of you the founders who have now left OMN and have refrained from propaganda. We thank you both for this and for your contributions both at OMN and elsewhere.

We urge some of those who helped build OMN who are still engaging in needless propaganda wars against individuals at OMN or others to refrain from doing so. We urge them to stop conflating individual problems with OMN and thereby undermining the very institution they founded.

6. OYAA’s message to all Oromos

We believe that OMN is not any one individuals property but that of all Oromos. We ask all Oromos to be cognizant of this fact and to reject all unfounded rumors about OMN; but, instead to stand by OMN and double-down on your contributions and support. We ask all Oromo institutions to draw a lesson from this and employ policy procedures for problem resolutions rather than self-destruct. We must learn to stand up to those refuse to follow policy.

We ask all Oromos to stand together and reject divisive practices such as regionalism, nepotism, and others that undermine Oromo unity. Failing that, we help perpetuate rather than end the oppression of the Oromo people that we all love.

We wish all Oromos happiness, joy, health and bilisummaa in this coming new year!
