In recent years, the Gurage community has made remarkable progress in advancing the cause of establishing the Gurage Regional State and fostering civil activism. Numerous Gurage men and women are now openly engaging in discussions and advocating for their rights. The Gurage community’s relentless endeavors to bring about positive transformation and progress have expanded significantly. More individuals, both within the local community and abroad, are actively participating in social activism and civil organizations. Notably, the Gurage diaspora communities in North America, the Middle East, and Europe play a crucial role in this movement as they increasingly organize and dedicate themselves to supporting their fellow Gurage residing in the region.

The Gurage diaspora communities have played an instrumental role in supporting recent political and social movements. They have been instrumental in raising awareness about the challenges faced by the Gurage community and advocating for effective policy changes to address these issues.

Recently, the Gurage diaspora communities convened in Washington, DC, USA to discuss pertinent regional matters and advocate for justice for the Gurage community. This assembly marked a significant milestone, as it was the first time the Gurage community in North America united for a common goal: the establishment of the Gurage Regional State. During this gathering, the DMV Gurage Community officially formed and issued eleven points statements. The announcement was made that future assemblies of similar scale would take place in Washington, DC, USA, further amplifying their collective voice.

Moreover, many Gurage diaspora communities have become increasingly active in recent years. They actively utilize social media platforms to support their community and provide financial assistance. Locally, the establishment of the GOGOT party serves as a testament to the growing strength and seriousness of the Gurage political movement.

These recent developments, both within and outside the Gurage community, indicate a positive trajectory. The strong and united Gurage community movement internally and abroad demonstrates their determination to achieve their legitimate and constitutional right to establish their own region and become major political players in Ethiopian politics.

The increasing participation of Gurage individuals, both locally and abroad, is a testament to their unwavering commitment to promoting development, justice and democracy in the Gurage region and Ethiopia at large. It symbolizes a notable departure from the past as the majority of Gurage individuals now perceive organizing and advocating for their community’s interests through a Gurage lens as an integral part of the broader Ethiopian political landscape. They recognize the importance of embracing their Gurage identity while working towards collective progress and understanding within the diverse fabric of Ethiopian society. Today, the Gurage people take pride in their heritage and community. They actively champion their unique traditions and customs, simultaneously asserting their legitimate role and active engagement within the wider fabric of Ethiopian society
