As the world ushered in the year 2012, certain Abyssinian and their subsidiaries declared doomsday for the Oromo national struggle for freedom. Though Abyssinian are not alone to think the world is doomed to end, their prophecy that celebrated end of Oromo national struggle for freedom is unique in that it is driven by FEAR OF FREEDOM, unlike the global doomsday prophecy which are mainly religious.
The 2012 global doomsday prophecy
The year 2012 began with doomsday prophesies. There are warnings of Apocalypse by 2012. Major cities in the world will be crushed, by natural disasters. In an enormous global Apocalypse, the world civilization will end. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, Earth's collision with a black hole, passing asteroid, the shifting Earth’s magnetic poles … and many others.
One source of this confusion is the ancient Mayan calendar which has been studied in depth but not easily understood. According to the long count of Mayan calendar, the Gregorian date December 21(or possibly 23rd) 2012 corresponds to the ending of the 5125 cyclical period since the zero date (3114 BCE). In other words, the 5125 count since the old zero date will be reset again to a new zero date on Dec, 21, 2012.
The New age theorists suggest that the 2012 date marks major global transition towards a more harmonized world. New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.
Regardless of differences among various groups on what the year 2012 entails, one thing they all have in common is the recognizance that this upcoming date is making a strong impression on a growing number of people, and that much of this impression is based on a belief that the world as we know it is about to undergo some sort of profound change.
Abyssinians doomsday prophesy
On January 01/2012, Ethiopians around the world wake-up to news of doomsday prophesy made by one Abyssinian deptera scholar and his disciples: the end of struggle for freedom in the Oromo camp. Along with this deptera prophet was a former TPLF general who made false statement- amendment of the OLF political program. He declared to the world that the Oromo nation has agreed to abandon their pursuit for freedom. Debtera scholars in the Abyssinian camp compared the traitor general to the Biblical dove which brought an olive branch to the Noah Arc, marking the end of the storm. There has been euphoria in the oppressors’ camp, euphoria generated by blissful ideological victory over the OLF. Dozens of radio and television interviews have been made with ‘heroes’ and ‘heroes’ to capture their ‘important’ role in the long standing struggle to save Ethiopia from the forces of evil. Ode has been written and recited. Blogs in the nafxanya camp were filled by ululation and glorification of those who abandoned the freedom fighters camp and joined the oppressors’ camp. The former OPDO general, who liberated himself from TPLF and joined OLF, but sadly defected to former Abyssinian masters was decorated as the latest Abyssinian servant. All along, genuine Oromo sons and daughters who stood for the self determination of Oromo people were cursed as fundamentalists and terrorists, paradoxically by the same unity crowed which TPLF label as terrorists.
