I agree that Oromos have forcefully assimilated many people in Ethiopia. In Hararghe they've Assimilated whole Somali clans, for example, Dire Dawa in the 1960 was around 70% Somali and today it's only 25% due to the Oromos assimilating a large portion of the Somalis there.

They've done the same thing in Harar where the indigenous Hararis are now a minority in their own Harari region. They also tried it in Babile and Moyale which is in the deep south but the Somalis have resisted and kept on to their culture and language. Oromos have been expanding ever since they invaded the Sultanate of Shewa in the 16th Century and they must stop this and make peace with their neighbouring brotherly people like the Amharas, Afar and Somalis.

Have you imagined how powerful Abyssinians and Adals would have been if it wasn't for the brutal Oromo migration?

It's even very sad to see the current Ethiopia regional map.

Do you know that Ras Mikael(father of Lij Iyasu) was a Oromo/Somalia mix, but consider himself as Oromo?

I'm happy that Ethiopia Somalians had taken back some of their stolen lands from Oromos after 1991.

Is it in Ahmed Gragn invasion of Abyssinia that some Somalians settled in Bete Amhara(Wollo)?

I think the Abyssinian-Adal wars would have carried on if the Oromo migration hadn't stopped and there would have been one clear winner who would rule from the border of Sudan to the Indian Ocean. I know that some Somali clans lived among Amharas before the Oromo migration, I don't know how they ended up there, but the Oromo caused so much bloodshed that most of them fled to the east. The Sultanate of Shewa consisted of Argobbas, Muslim Amharas, Somalis, Gurage, Harlas and other small ethnicities.

I didn't know about Ras Mikael being half Somali, I thought he was fully Oromo. I guess you learn something new every day. smiley
