In four previous articles (´A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part I´ http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/72787 / ´A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part II´ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/72897 / ´A Transcendental Approach to the Need for Oromo Leadership – Part III´ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/73014 / ´Every Oromo: A Leader in the Oromia Liberation Struggle (Part IV)´ / http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/73524), I focused on the weaknesses of the traditional political leadership, and I deployed an effort of identification of the Oromo Nation in 2008. Subsequently, I expanded on foe identification and concluded that the Oromos have fallen victims of Amhara Abyssinian expansionism and English colonialism.

Finally, I emphasized on the need for all the Oromos to take the initiative of leadership, and just put aside any discussion about, and consideration of, the current political formations, liberation fronts and independence movements that proved definitely unable to materialize the supreme goal of the Oromo Nation: Independent Oromia.

In a series of 15 questions, I presented a picture of missing endeavours and projects that the existing liberation fronts and independence movements failed to either completely materialize or partly promote. The ensuing result was visible in a dire comparison of online references (searched in Google) to Palestinians and Oromos: although triple in terms of population, the Oromos remain mainly unknown to the rest of the world.

Who can help you, if they don´t know you?

To mend the situation, I suggested that all Oromos contribute to the formation of Groups of Oromo Liberation Activity – GOLA, which will be the vehicle to take the Oromos to the Independent Biyya Oromo. In this article, I will examine how the GOLA will be incepted, how they will function, and how they will keep Amhara intruders faraway.
