The Borana lost big time in the current conflict with the Gabra community. The Borana community has lost ground on three fronts.

·        The political arena

·        Property and human lives.

·        Credibility in regards to supremacy in the area and their majority status

The Borana community lost much of its political influence in Kenya after losing the Marsabit County governorship, senator, and woman representative in the Kenya Genreal Election this year. Currently, they are seen as an anti-peace element in Ethiopia based on their association with the Oromo Liberation Front (O.L.F.). Both Kenyan and Ethiopian governments see them as trouble makers due to the fact that the so called last remaining O. L. F. rebels have been hiding with the help of the Borana community in Marsabit County and in the Borana region of Southern Ethiopia.

The Borana community elected officials and elders are claiming that the Ethiopian military is stoking the conflict in Moyale. If so, then, why are they objecting to the deployment of KDF?  Rhetoric like that is the cause of their questionable credibility. It doesn’t make sense to complain about an invasion of foreign armed militias while also turning away your own government army who come and protect you, your family and property. That is a credibility problem.  

 “MPs Ali Rasso (Saku), Roba Duba ( Moyale) and Mohamud Ali, a former Moyale MP, Sunday claimed Ethiopia was using its military and local militias to hunt down Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) rebels.”

If they already knew about military operation against O.L.F. why have they allowed Oromo rebels to roam within their community?

According to credible information received from Moyale, 20 out of 27 reported losses of human lives were from the Borana community including this heavily armed Oromo liberation front rebel shown on the photo here.

 

Furthermore, 80% of reported 70, 000 Butiye residents that were fled to Ethiopia for their safety are from the Borana community.

 The majority of the reported burned down houses belong to the Borana community. So, this community lost not only their political influence, but also lost their livelihoods resulting from the separation of family and disruption of their kids’ educations.  

 

The Borana community needs to reassess their relationship with the Oromo rebels and choose what is best for the community. Also, it should abandon the fighting with its neighbors and learn to live in peace with all their fellow neighbors. The era of Rebel era has gone for good and the whole world has become one global community.
