Mohammed Osman-the hero who chose the love of his oppressed people over the love of his life
The Oromo who chose the love of his people-over the love of his life
''Meanwhile, over the last year or so, Sa'ada and Mohammed's warm friendship had begun to heat up. Sa'ada was growing more hopeful and dreamy-eyed with visions of love and marriage, while Mohammed wished to avoid making her unhappy. Impatient, she began to coax him into confessing his love for her.
''Do you love me?'' She would ask, her voice soft, her eyes lowered.
He could only look at her pretty face and say, ''It's alright.''
''Please,'' she said one day, ''I want you to kiss me. I want to touch you.''
She spoke to her brother. He came to Mohammed a few days later. ''Mohammed,'' he said, ''my sister has asked me to arrange for you to come to a Nik'ah (a Muslim marriage ceremony). Do you wish to marry her?'''
Mohammed's heart dropped. He excused himself and hurried to Sa'ada. She saw him approach and met him, smiling. ''I will be your wife,'' She said happily.
''No, Sa'ada. I cannot marry you. I am sorry.''
''Why not?'' She asked, beginning to cry.
Mohammed did not know what to say. What he wanted to say to her was: ''I left my family, because I could see that staying in the village would lead nowhere. A proper education was uppermost in my thoughts as a way to make a better future, to give me the knowledge I would need to improve the lives of my people. I came to a crossroads, where I had to decide whether an education in a Saudi college or military training in Somalia would further my dream, and I chose the military path Jaarraa chose. I see not it was the right choice. An armed defense of Oromo villagers must be mounted to protect them in the coming conflict between the Ethiopian and Somali Military forces as they fight over Oromo lands.
''Marriage is not an option at this time. I have promised to struggle for my people. The Hargeisa community awaits my return. I can't break my promise. I can't commit to marriage yet. I would only break your heart. I cannot leave you alone with babies if I must leave you. I will go back to my country one day.'' But Mohammed did not think Sa'ada was in a state of mind to understand.
Suddenly, she interrupted his train of thought. ''But, you love me Mohammed!''
''No, Sa'da. I do not love you. I cannot marry you. I am so sorry.''
She turned away from him. He left her crying. He knew she was hurt, and her brother was furious.
Mohammed was distraught. He heard she was sick with sorrow, and he cursed himself. No one understood why he turned her down. He couldn't stop thinking about her.
Her eyes are clouded with love, he told himself. She does not see the future. I must stay away.
She often asked her brother about him. She invited Mohammed for dinner, and he accepted, but he felt sick with worry. He went to her house, but when she went outside to get some water, he left. He couldn't bear to look at her.
It is best if she doesn't see me anymore, he told himself. He avoided her in the village after that. People told him she was devastated, that she wanted to leave the village. He gathered some money and asked someone to take it to her.
''For her to go to her parents' village,'' he said.
Later, he heard she had gone to her parents and was working in their village. They said she was happy. Mohammed was glad for her, but his heart is still ached. To this day, when he's in a crowd, he is often startled when a woman passes by, mistaking her for Sa'ada.''

Re: Mohammed Osman-the hero who chose the love of his oppressed people over the love of his life
You're too emotional warya. Calm down and think clearly. Our religion doesn't warn us against anger for nothing. We feel the pain of the innocent Somalis killed, the same pain we felt when your liyyu brothers were killing our people too. Blame tplf and abdi illey for adding fuel to the fire. They literally killed many oromo and then left a group of Somalis at a warehouse near the villages where liyyu Somali speaking soldiers killed many oromo, and the families of those dead oromo civilians grabbed their guns and sought revenge. I don't agree with those oromo either. They let emotions and anger cloud their judgement. Both sides have committed aggressions but no doubts that tplf and abdi tigray illey started it. The oromo didn't touch a single Somalis before the continuous raids of Somali liyyu into oromia. That's not just a coincidence.Django wrote: Fri Mar 09, 2018 1:58 am Times have changed.Today you make up stories to loot and lynch unarmed peaceful civilians.

Thanks brother. We want to see a free Somali state too and a stable Somalia. With so many smart Somalis, I'm sure you guys in Ethiopia can do better than a neighborhood thug, as a leader. Somali state is almost 9 million strong, last I checked. You guys will be a strong force although I'm not sure if you are from somali Ethiopian regional state or Somalia or isaaqland lol

Waachis abdi ileey day is numberd in Ethiopia we are just waiting on te usa state department to tell the tplf to announce their prime minister. Most people who support abdi ileey are darod. He protects their interest isaaq issa hawiye don't support him. You have to undersrand the clan dynamics who supports who before You can make a judgement. Liyuu attacks isaaqs you will hear darood on this website say they are happy happy he killed isaaqs using tigre. Liyuu last year attacked habargedir hawiye and they got stopped. Your war with liyuuu is no different then our war with liyuuu.

Re: Mohammed Osman-the hero who chose the love of his oppressed people over the love of his life
No. He's referring to the oromo community who lived in hargeisa during the rule of siad barre. Jarraa did 5 years in the berbera prison for refusing the Somali abbo title. Not because we're not brothers, but because he struggled for the oppressed oromo, and not for Somalia.

I have a few dir friends and they don't support abdi either. Not all. Ogaden support him, even, apparently.Khalid Ali wrote: Fri Mar 09, 2018 2:50 am Waachis abdi ileey day is numberd in Ethiopia we are just waiting on te usa state department to tell the tplf to announce their prime minister.

I like hawiye they are no joke when it comes to defending themselves.
Yeah I recently found out about liyyu raiding Somaliland border areas.
They even tried to infiltrate Kenya recently to go after some Somali Ethiopians who were refugees in Kenya because of abdi illey.
Abdi is now trying to change his image.
He's talking about inclusive governance lol yeah right
