Oromo Seeks Justice in Ethiopia on AJstream was intended to offer a perfect pitch to beat TPLF through compelling evidences and hard facts to its shame in its attendance. In yet another blow to its legitimacy and mounting human rights records, predictably, TPLF decided to play with no presence. With its defence Dr. Fido Ebba and midfielder Mohamed Adamo on line, and the cheetah striker Jawar Mahammed on forefront, the Oromo team scored all possible goals in all possible ways. It is widely expected all nations and nationalities struggling against the domination of TPLF club hegemony would support the effort of the Oromo team and applaud any substantial gains. It turned out that is faulty assumption.
It seems the blow has multiplied and magnified to reach beyond TPLF to upset many more personalities in Abyssinian club to wage cyber war against not only the Oromo team but also the Oromo people behind the team. In fact, the hooligans have tried to physically compromise Oromo individual(s) in desperate attempt to silence them. But this has proved to be a momentum strengthening the unity among the Oromos and their players to defend the Oromo interest based on not empty pride and prejudice but only through facts and truth.
The Abyssinians, particularly the neo-dergist and modern diaspora Naftenga [so called first class fans] sect, was quite quick to start a beef with the Oromo team and the Oromos. They started labelling the players and undermining the Oromo team’s cause for fair play. But the Oromos did not say much as the match was yet to kick off.
Unlike the fragile Abyssinians who spasm their limbs and hands out of control just to ’attack‘, Jawar et.al scored goals using header through well routed and played moves. Jawar has become most valuable player of heading generation that examples the growing tradition of training players to rather use heading that has become more effective. Anyone familiar with the play knows such goals are powerful messages of passion, moral and determination that resonate to people of overwhelming joy to stay deep in their taught and spirits.
Let me once again enumerate the goals to my delight.
Mohamed Adamo scored the opening goal as he ran up and down tirelessly to pitch the Oromo issue at a venue that assigns the proper weight to the unfair domination of few clubs over the Oromo people in a league that has no law. He fought to make way to expose the inhuman treatment of the Oromo people to the world viewer at large and he succeeded. Ofcourse one big smart header goal.
As a mature and strong personality among the team’s players, Dr. Fida Ebba defended the Oromo cause effectively. He exposed the constant abuses, human rights violations, detentions, killings and cultural genocide by the hulugans against the Oromo people to the match referees. Another well deserved header goal.
The biggest blow and moral backlash to the Abyssinian club came as Jawar transcended from defensive to offensive position. He splinted firmly to denounce the inherent oppressions of Oromos targeted at luting its natural resource and keeping it under a constant hegemony. He demanded the Oromos should be given a fair political power and should govern themselves and their natural resources. Another goal well deserved.
What annoyed the Abbyssinians was not the goal Jawar scored but rather the way he celebrated it. He famously ran to the corner towards the Oromo people to display his natural engrave read ‘I’m Oromo First’ in his heart. This phrase was about to be the most loved among the Oromos and equivalently hated among the Abbyssinians. The Oromos chanted ‘I’m Oromo first’ alongside Jawar victoriously. That point and time has probably marked the biggest margin between the Abbysinians and Oromos. It also showed who is for and against fair play.
The goals came at a turning point in Ethiopian empire league history. The Oromo people have suffered not only from a play that is dominated by corruption and match-fixing perpetuated by European referees but also from lack of organization and cooperation within to defend and counter-attack. In a a season that lasted 120 years, this particular match has given a sweeping victory paving a way towards a cup of liberation and freedom source ( http://ayyaantuu.com/horn-of-africa-news/oromia/match-statistics-jawar-vs-the-hardliner-abyssinians-a-short-commentary/ )
