| | Facing the Challenge of Extreme Nationalism in Ethiopia |
 | | The OLF would hardly have behaved any differently if it were to seize power other than declaring Oromifa a second working language, for reasons of keeping its word and due to the fact that it is the largest (in terms of the number of speakers) and better developed language next to Amharic and Tigringa. |
| | Neftegna’s Amharic and Oromifa, too, is a matter of choice for them, they are in the mean time diligently teaching both languages to their kith and kin, not for reasons of inheriting heaven but rather to prepare their cadres for leadership roles and the rear guard for the opportunity to take advantage of wider Ethiopia. |
| | It surprises me to see our Oromo extremists trying to avoid borrowing words from Amharic because they are either blinded by hatred or are so backward in their awareness about languages; it saddens me to see them mock the users of the language, not to mention their poor command of the language itself. |
