This is historical distortion by Oromo exteremists separatists who are anti Ethiopian anti Amhara.

[@oromianation]

It is a bit confusing and contradictory to admit that the Oromos were undeniably descended from the ancient Cush tribe, while at the same time, the Oromos are said to have moved North and West and South to parts of East Africa so suddenly and out of nowhere. The Oromos and other ethnic groups were descended from the ancient Cush tribes, this shows that they were directed from the ancient times from the North (ancient Egypt) along the Nile River to the south and settled in various parts of East Africa. The invaders are the Abyssinian people (the Habeshas or Habish named from the Arabic word meaning "mixed") who came from the Red Sea and with the help of modern weapons gained from the exchange of East African lands (e.g. Djibouti) with Europeans mainly the French and Italians conquered, occupied and eventually colonized the indigenous ethnicities in East Africa. The map showing the Oromia region is incorrect and excluded as it is deliberately designed to show many parts of Oromia that are not included.

I appreciate for taking your time on Oromo history and thank you! Be careful when you explain Oromo history. Im hearing many errors here. Oromo people are the original indigenous people there and didn't immigrate from South or east. Half of Oromo was assimilated to different ethnicity by Force and they lost their language. You're reading from fake history that was written by the enemies of Oromo people. Oromo has Rich culture and many Amhara cultures belongs to Oromo people and Agew Kush people.

It's a Eurocentric sentiment that unfortunately, is a deliberate attempt to promote European supremacy. Thus anything achieved, by any native population, no matter how long ago, was not through their own intelligence and effort. It must be because they are direct descendants of Europeans or because they were civilized by European powers. It's just sad that many Africans who've developed an inferiority complex want this badly because they look down on their African origins.

Oromos were never in the mainland Ethiopia when Coffee was discovered. That calendar was also adopted from another tribe that practiced a sophisticated astronomy.

I don't think this is the right history of the Oromo people. Your narration is the distorted history written rcently by imigrant semetic people who crossed red sea to search their food for survival. There is no Oromo migration, Oromo is living & lives in its fathers' land. The word Oromo migration is a legend created by the imigrant semetic people to confisicate Oromo's land. Please do not narrate as given to you by someone to be against the true history that has been transmitted last week. This your narration seems to reverse that history. Do your own research and narrate the right history of Oromo people. Oromo history starts from today's southern Egypt. Your narration looks like 'Aba-Bahiren' mythology, the ghost writer who is ideally created to apperiate few ones, but to insult the majority of the nation.
