Are we being complacent about the Oromo threat?

[original dervish]

Without sounding xenophobic, are we too complacent about the threat Oromo's and Oromia poses to Somalis?

Yeah yeah.....folk are gonna come on saying how peaceful and humble these folks are. That they're our Muslim brethren blah blah blah.

However, if you travel to the borderlands of Somali state in Ethiopia you'll hear an altogether different story. One of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Somalis at the hands of the Oromo/ Amhara.

I believe the Oromo influx into Somalia is a part of a broader plan......a hybrid war of AIDS, liquor and drugs.

The HSM government must get a handle on the unchecked Oromo infiltration of Somalia.

All Oromos must know isaaq /somaliland are their saviours. All other horn Africans hates that community unfairly. I advice them to be brutal against all their enemies and never ever give up power in finfinnee.. Fano, daarood let's see if you can win this war.

oromo today are our closest kin brothers and we will stand with them agaisnt their enemies

i slept with a few oromo girls and they are shax shax they are very nice and welcoming

There's the borderlands where they control land and Somalia where they are a miniscule powerless minority. There's oromia where somali border clans either massacred their people or so heavily fraternised with them that they yo-yo between both ethnicities and frustrate both somalis and oromos.
I see no reason to be worried about them personally. But i would advocate not giving them any political representation. And support their assimilation in the wider society.

Who is my enemy out of Oromo and Darod as an Isaaq person? Damn what a hard question.........NOT!

[original dervish]

I should have prefaced my question to exclude iidoors.
Every Somali knows where iidoors stand vis-a-vis the Oromo. Heck.....iidoors were even appealing to Oromo to save them after the calamitous defeat at Goojacaade.

This question was aimed at the broader patriotic Somali peoples.

We don't even border with them so it makes sense that we don't hate each an other . I see them as a business partners. That's it.

You pose a gut-wrenching, soul-searching, long-simmering lafta nagaa question.

Ask the Somali qabils that border this ethnicity and, invariably, you will get the same answer. Ask the Somali qabils that matter in Ethiopia, Ciise (northern region of DDS), Garre (southern region of DDS), and Ogaden (central region of DDS), what they think of the Oromos. They are the antithesis of good neighbors is the answer. What makes it even more bizarre is, these eastern Oromos that hate Somalis were once Somalis. Go figure.

The intricate workings of borders and minority communities, such as the Somali in Oromia, highlight issues of identity and integration. While personal care may be missing, advocating for their integration into larger society, even in the absence of political representation, can foster social cohesion. Balancing inclusion and unity is critical for harmonious living in such areas.

It's not Oromo who hates Somali peaple. It's natural that neighbouring clans always hate eachother. Regardless of their ethnicity. The Oromos beyond hararghe don't even know about Somalis. They are dealing with the habeshas. Those in hararghe are just like any other Somali. They hate those clans who are threat to them and they are Oki with the rest . For example a jaarso have a problem with gerri but not isaaq , hawiye or raxanweyn. They are also Somali as much as they are oromo depending on their location.
