In this urgent and powerful commentary video, we present you Hamza Borana's examination of the 2004 Oromia–Somali border referendum and the growing crisis in Moyale. Through a lens shaped by lived experience, NEBE official records and political insight, he exposes how the Ethiopian state continues to weaponize borders, ignore democratic mandates, and sideline indigenous governance. Hamza argues that Moyale, like Dire Dawa, was deliberately excluded from the referendum to manufacture future conflict. Now, amid cultural erasure, economic marginalization, and administrative takeover, the Borana Oromo community stands on the edge. This is a call to justice, not just remembrance.<br /><br />---<br /><br /> 📆 Timestamp:<br /><br />00:00 - Intro: “Time Bombs and Broken Promises”<br />00:27 - Background: The 2004 Border Referendum<br />01:12 - Moyale Left Out: Manufactured Conflict Zones<br />02:03 - Cultural & Economic Erasure in Moyale<br />02:58 - The Borana Struggle for Recognition<br />03:46 - Exposing the Federal Government’s Strategy<br />04:32 - Call for Justice and Rule of Law<br />05:10 - Hamza Borana’s Final Words<br />05:35 - Final <br /><br />Published: August 2, 2025 | 11:00 AM EAT<br /><br />---<br /> <br />#OromoVoices<br />#MoyaleCrisis<br />#HamzaBorana<br />#DigitalOromia<br />#OromiaReferendum<br />#SomaliRegion<br />#BorderJustice<br />#IndigenousRights<br />#FederalismInCrisis<br />#AbyssinianColonialism<br />#HornOfAfrica<br />#GadaaSystem<br />#PeaceAndJustice<br />#WayyaaneLegacy<br />#OFCVoices<br /><br />---<br /><br />🔗 <br />---<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bA2Hf20PSs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bA2Hf20PSs</a>
