9. Do different regions in Oromia have stronger ties to Oromo identity? For example, are there historically more autonomous Oromo regions with stronger preservation of Oromo traditions? Whereas maybe Oromo areas closer to state influence may show more assimilationist tendencies to the Ethiopian government/culture?

6. I read that in history, a lot of the Oromo people had more spiritual practices and it wasn’t until the Abyssinian Empire (heavily Amhara) moved in on imperializing Oromia that people were forced to convert to Christianity, and some people turned to Islam because of Somali influence and it was a way to rebel against the Abyssinians pushing Christianity of them (salah’s  grandma can maybe speak on this topic). That being said, I am wondering if Religious affiliations within the Oromo community—Christianity versus Islam—can influence how strongly people are tied to Oromo identity versus Ethiopian identity . Because  in the past, the Ethiopian state/Abyssinian Empire narratives often marginalized Muslim Oromo while selectively integrating Christian Oromo into broader Ethiopian identity. So how does that play out today

4. Finfinee is the old name of Addis Ababa. Isn’t finfinee in Oromo? Why was it renamed? Isnt it also located within Oromia? How do people feel about this? Especially with all the displacement of people living in Addis Ababa who are being forced to move out.

True or false
