The objective of Gumii Bilisummaa Oromiyaa (GBO) is to enhance the liberation of Oromiyaa from Ethiopian colonialism and the establishment of a free and democratic state of Oromiyaa where all its citizens are protected by the law of the land.
The first step towards achieving the independence of Oromiyaa is to establish an Oromo-inspired form of organization. This organization should promote and strengthen the reunification of the Oromo people who have been forcibly separated from each other following the occupation of our country by the Ethiopians. It must invite and involve all organizations, fronts, unions, community associations and other segments of Oromo society in the formation of an organization that expresses Oromo values and suits Oromo personality. Such an arrangement will free the Oromo people from the restrictions and barriers imposed on them by Ethiopian colonial forces and bring them together for a common purpose they all cherish - Bilisummaa.
The liberation of Oromiyaa will be accomplished by constructing institutions that serve the needs of the Oromo people for self-expression, self-realization, well being, peace and development. Such institutions that we build should suit the needs of the Oromo people and operate without external interference. This demands all-inclusive efforts. All Oromos of any religious, linguistic, political, economical, educational, social, and cultural experience have the right and the opportunity to join in this effort and work towards fashioning the tools that crafts and build institutions that are indispensable for the liberation of Oromiyaa.
Gumii Bilisummaa Oromiyaa (GBO) is committed to enhance de-colonization of Oromiyaa, revitalize and restore all natural and cultural resources ravaged by the colonialists. In order to undertake such a monumental task, it needs to involve and unleash creative energies of all the Oromo people.
Acknowledging that the Oromo have been ruthlessly and systematically divested of both resources and rights, the GBO accepts the challenge of involving all Oromo in the task of deciding where and how to begin and build new independent Oromo institutions. The GBO plans to build on what has already been done by all Oromo forces (liberation fronts, political and social organizations) and expand on any gains to accomplish the great task of liberating the Oromo from subjugation and rebuilding our nation.
