After the massacre of well over three hundred people in six months time, it is time to dejawarizing Oromo region and activism in Ethiopian politics. It was not too long ago when Jawar Mohammed and Oromo Liberation Front mobilized ethnic Sidama activists to take the matter of forming an ethnic Sidama State in their own hands. In so doing, what was advocated for was to hijack political and security affairs in the Sidama Zone from government authorities. Regrettably, Jawar’s activism has been taken as a model among all ethnic politics activists. Everyone gets it that it takes time to de-radicalize ethnic politics.
