One must be clear that adoption in Oromo society is fully dependent upon the consent of the adoptees. Oromummaa and Oromo philosophy: Oromummaa is distinguished with “core common cultural values and modes of thought” (Baxter, 1985:1). Political aspects of Oromummaa: Oromo society is a democratic and open society, which has roots in the Gadaa system. Similar to other democratic forces in Ethiopia, Oromo nationalists fight against dictators in order to restore democratic elections and human rights protections. So, Abiy’s political system is an antithesis of Oromummaa.
