        @BBCAfrica Despite what's been intentionally propagated for generations, #Oromo actually is no risk for #Ethiopia. Oromo makes Ethiopia.

        @BBCAfrica What is not helping and putting a gradual threat to Ethio is that the incumbent ignores both forces as dissent is taken as enemy.

        @bbcafrica this isn't new for Ethiopia, that means it never threatens the unity of the nation. History tells you that.
