I am also for justice but and I definitely understand the oppression of Jaarso but to claim and side with an ethnicity that is fifty fifty muslim and christian and politically christian dominated is where I draw the line. If Jaarso choose to be Oromo, they will be dealt with like Oromo, so I hope that if they are ever asked to be part of SRS they should join. Also do you know any % of Jaarso who speak Somali and % who speak oromo?
It's hard to make estimations. These are also farmer areas where many don't go to formal schools or quit early on. Majority jarso in DDS and former DDS controlled areas (Jinacsani), speak somali as a mother tongue, many of whom speaks Oromo too, but it is not as widespread as somali. More closer to the border (more oromo speaker), futher away (less oromo speaker). Hence, why many still speak somali, despite some of whom claiming oromo. They all went to schools with somali as the medium of instruction, though more oromo schools are opening up in Jinacsani. In Hararghe, most of them speak Oromo, and few speak somali.
