[@ermiasabdisa7396]

Toltu you are great, marvelous, incredible. We need such people like you. I wish you long life with good health. During Emperor Hailesilasie Afan Oromo was not given intentionally at schools, govt offices, religious organizations, courts & had no media outlets. There were efforts made to change this at the time by some bold people. But they were either jailed or executed. Fast forward today: that era is gone with the wind. Thanks 🙏🏽 God & those who sacrificed their life to change that anti Oromo system. May the years to come be a prosperous, reconciled, Democratic & economic development time for all Ethiopians ❤
