I don't disagree with that story but still if most of your population is outside the DDS area of control why need that many seats my advice just stick to Oromia.This is so tiresome I swear
1) Show me where we joined Oromia willingly. I will wait. If you can’t support your statement with evidence then just know you are bullshitting.
2) As for Afaan Oromo, Oromo tribes like Alla, Itu, Nole, Baabili, Jaarso etc were living in east hararge since the 1550s defeat of the battle of Hazalo. It wasn’t till Menelik’s invasion and annexation of Harar and the surrounding regions in the late 19th century (with European firepower) when many of my clansmen adopted Afaan Oromo to escape complete annihilation. During the struggles with Menelik, Karanle & Hawiye suffered tremendously. Abyssinia were maniacal in their hate and would kill any Somali they come across including children, women & the elderly. It was decided that children women & livestock of Hawiye will be moved further east to live among Somali clans of Ogaden- Malinguur, Geri etc while the men of fighting age remained to continue fighting Menelik. However Somali clans listed above launched a devastating attack on Karanle & Hawiye women & children. Livestock was confiscated and many were killed during those attacks. It was then that the ugaas of Karanle named Adan Karkore called a meet of all Hawiye clans at top of Mount Muli. He ordered them to speak Oromo to avoid being targeted by both Menelik and other Somali clans who were waiting for the downfall of the long time Karanle Hawiye rulers. The unintended consequence was the assimilation of a lot of the Hawiye with some deep in Oromia completely becoming Oromazied. Nonetheless these people still know who they are lineage wise. The 1800s was brutal for my tribe. The Karanle leaders focused on resurgent Abyssinia by necessity over looked peaceful but insidious migratory expansionist Oromos because they saw it the lesser of the two evils. The elders considered the Oromos who became Muslims less threatening than the Christian highlanders putting aside our Somali nationalism that was both wise and unavoidable.
Having said this, there are other members of my tribe that migrated deep into Oromia for business reasons or to spread Islam.
