He's full of shit. Gurgura are currently allied with Issa in Dir Dhabe against the Oromos. They even have an organization together, only a small number of them speak Oromo because their farms mingle with the Afran Qallo.
I said the Gurgura are part of our community, not abba Saddacha. He’s from the states.
Don’t down play it bro. You live in Toronto. Go visit your local Oromo community centre. A lot of the people there are also Gurgura. Here is the thing with Oromos, we look at ourselves more as a nation. This was what the gada system was about. The Oromo nation had the Lammi, who were citizens, and surprise surprise, Gurguras were accepted through the Noole as ilma gosa, so they were accepted to have the Lammi status as well.
They aren’t Oromo, but have intermixed and lived with one another. Living in DD, Oromo, Gurgura, Issa, Harari etc all grow up as neighbors in some neighborhoods and have a bond friendship as children.
One of my dads best friends is an Issa from DD. They grew up as neighbors, and til this day visit one another every year.
