A recent article, written by one Abyssinian DEBTERA and posted on Abugida website, explain the true nature of DEBTERA scholars. ( http://www.abugidainfo.com/amharic/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bantu13.pdf).
Debtera scholars and their disciples have inherent hatred for people out side their ethnic circle. The church produced documents in Ethiopia and articles written by these Debtera scholars are witnesses of this unpleasant nature of Depteras of all century, including those who live among us today. Aba Bahire, the author of many books, who lived in 16 century best exemplify the true nature of all Depteras. Aba Bahire never cared to hide his hatred of Oromo people from the world. Neither he cared whether his works contradict the moral values and canon of the church in which he was brought up. Modern Deptera writers, so called professors, who attended their doctoral studies at distinguished universities such as Oxford university , still apply the methodology of Debteras of 16 century. The modern education, the research methodology , and the scientific discipline they have been thought to apply for generation and sharing of knowledge in this 21 century society is completely overtaken by their Deptera methodology which is anti science and reason. That is why the so called doctors and professors such as Dr. Tsehai Berhane-Selassie , professor Techola Hagos, and Professor Getachew Haile are sliding back into 16 century and walk along the centuries racist mind Abab Bahire. These modern voices of Depteras are not only anti civilization and progress, but also anti humanity. They have defied their age old education, they have defied the ethics of scientific society, they have defied the moral values that sustained human right and freedom. They are dark forces among the 21 century society.
Lets not forget that Depteras were ideologue of those who savagely killed our people and destroyed our nation to build Empire Ethiopia. Like the Nazi script writers who masterminded the massacre of Jewish people, Debteras of Orthodox church of Ethiopia has played their role with perfection in eliminating millions of Oromos from the face of the planet. That is why Debteras of this century vehemently oppose to all forms of equality and democracy questions in Ethiopia,let alone willing to see an independent Oromia. A clear message has been passed to those who have ears and those who have eyes. Amahara Deptera, educated or uneducated ,never want to see a free Oromo man and women!
Where do they inherit the racist mentality?
Anti Oromo canons and Racism
The Ethiopian Tewahedo Church Canon contains 81 books. This canon contains the books accepted by other Orthodox Christians. Some of this canons contain elements that dehumanize the Oromos and other non Semitic people in Ethiopia. The Orthodox priests have always referred to Oromo people as Galla , using the same derogatory term as the Abysinian medalist elites. An Oromo man can not be a priest in the Ortodox church. In their popular Joke, the orthodox priests say " Le galla nefsi Abat, deacon mech anesew?!!" which is translated as " For a galla, one does not need a priest to be his heavenly Father, a sub deacon is enough." In addition, the church has officially declared Afan Oromo as non church language and prohibited Oromo people from using their language in prayers and church services. The Oromo people were then forced to make prayer in the language that they donot even understand a single word, the GEEZ.
In the so called Meshafa Mistir( Book of the mystery), the Abyssinian priests categorize the Oromo along with animals and they even further wrote, having sex with Galla is an act of bestiality, and who ever make sex with a gala would never inherit heaven. The Modern Depteras , who are graduate from Oxford university share the same value towards Oromo people in this modern era of humanity. What they have wrote and posted on Abugida website is a living history for future generation of Oromo and man kind to appreciate the extent to which this people are racist.
The Orthodox church through out history has been supporter of the Abyssinian racist policies which alienated Oromos from economic, political and social spheres. The church deliberately , through deeds and in writing, promoted terribly inhuman Abyssinian racism, their practices and policies of religious and cultural discrimination. The Ethiopian Orthodox church has also promoted and sustained the Abyssinian socio-economic tyranny carried out against the Oromos, the Ogadenis, the Afars, the Sidamas, the Agaws, the Kaffas, the Shekachos, the Kambatas, the Hadiyas, the Wolayitas, the Anuak and others.
During conquest of the Oromo land, the Patriarch of the Orthodox church and their priests have given not only their blessings, but also their golden crosses to the Abyysinian invading armies. The church has played crucial role in the subjugation of Oromo people and South naitonas and nationalities by Abyssinian minorities.
The orthodox church of Ethiopia has been hiding these atrocities she committed against Oromos and other conquered nations. They have so far failed to apologize to this horrible dark history.
Ethiopian Orthodox church is/was a primary beneficiary from the enslaved Oromo land. One third of all Oromo land was given to the Ethiopian Orthodox church along with dehumanized Oromos on the land.
The Orthoox church, over centuries have proven its loyalty to the Abyssinian elites, literate Debteras. The church has always taken side with invading Abysinian forces of Oromo land such as Tewodros, Yohenes, Menelik, and Hailasilasie. In the era of EPRDF, the newly elected Tigrean related patriarch openly supports the TPLF regime.
In addition to creating the DEPTERA scholars and their disciples, the Ethiopian orthodox church has been waging continues war against the Oromo conscience. She has been continuously building institutions that ultimately destroy the Oromo identity. To appreciate this reality, it enough to see where they have built their churches. Every where an Orthodox church stands today in Oromia, an Oromo institution of Caffee was demolished. Qulubi Garbel( Hararghe), Tsion Mariam( Addis Alem), Yakka Michael( eka- shaggar), ARADAW Giorgis( Dalatti- Shaggar) .... all stands on the ruin of Galma Abba Gada of Oromos.
This is a church that produced DEBTERA generations like Dr. Tsehai Berhane-Selassie , professor Techola Hagos, and Professor Getachew Haile and today support their destructive , anti Oromo articles on various websites across the Internet world.
One thing we Oromos must know however is that like the Catholic clergies who did terrible things to humanity in the name of the so called inquisition and hersey trail, the age of Debeteras in this planet is limited. This is not their time. They are done. This is their last cry. They will not have any chance to twist the minds of QUBE generation to be their subordinates. Reason shall win, not dogmas!!!!!!!
Garbi the Dymistifier!!!!
