Marchers Demanded Justice for Massacred Oromo Students and Civilians Worldwide

From Washington DC to Toronto, Melbourne, London, Oslo and Johannesburg, the Oromo diaspora held demonstrations worldwide in over 30 cities demanding justice for over 85 students and residents massacred across Oromia region by Ethiopia's TPLF army and police.

The demonstrations aimed at condemning the weeks-long killings, injuries, detentions of Oromo students (oft under ages) and members of the general public by Ethiopia military and federal police. From slogans  commonly carried and heard at worldwide rallies and letters submitted to members of the governments of the cities and countries mentioned, it was clear that the Oromo diaspora was not only opposed to the killings, but it was also outraged by the silence of donor governments to Ethiopia on the ongoing ethnic-cleansing targeting members of the Oromo nationality.

 The marchers sought the attention of Washington, London, Oslo, Pretoria, Toronto, among others, to resolve the ongoing crises in Oromia by ending the killings first and then taking practical measures that would stop the Ethiopian government from using lethal excessive force against Oromo school children and youth. The practical measures, include, ending the culture of impunity by Ethiopia's government officials who order ethnic-based killings of the Oromo as DC demonstrators asked for in the following video.






Over 1,500 Oromo and friends of Oromo marched on Washington appealing to US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry to discontinue funding Ethiopian government, which uses the funds, advice and diplomatic support it receives to repress and discriminate against the Oromo people and others who don't have any legitimate representation in Ethiopia's state and in ongoing pseudo development activities that are benefiting a tiny minority of  ruling elites from EPRDF and TPLF. 

Oromo students in universities, high schools and even elementary schools have been marching in millions with members of the general public to stop the Addis Ababa Master Plan that's is evicting and will evict millions of Oromo farmers and town residents across areas adjacent to the capital city.  Demonstrators in Washington DC characterized the master plan as  "Addis Ababa Master Plan is a genocide plan" against the Oromo people presented innocently as " development and expansion of Ethiopia's capital city," which is ironically at the same time the capital city of Oromia state by virtue of resting on Oromia's land.  

Demonstrators stressed that they are not opposed to development activities that are legitimately and autonomously conducted by Oromia region for the people of the region without an imposition and territorial colonization of Oromia to benefit non-Oromos in state power in Ethiopia.

People outraged by the atrocities of the Ethiopian government against unarmed Oromo students turned out in large numbers, as rarely seen before, showing  the surge in popular concern about the increasingly bleak directions the Ethiopian government is taking toward the long-persecuted and excluded Oromo population, which is estimated at least to be half of the Ethiopia's 95 million population. Oromos cannot understand how it is possible to develop a country by just enriching a tiny ruling elite from the north while the majority routinely sees its lives and property snatched away illegally at gun-point.

Disregarding  the number of people who turned out in Washington DC to protest widespread massacre across Oromia, US media, including CNN, Fox News, AP and so on were no where to be seen to cover the peaceful rally events that brought several street closures in several states and were clearly massive. Not sure that the media or governments that support Ethiopia will even hear or care to hear from them, protesters shouted naïve, but important slogans such as, "Where is the media? Where is CNN? Where is Fox?" and so on.  Do you expect them to maintain a semblance of independence and report on the complicity of their governments? Well, the silence proves that given that invitations and news tips were sent out to these media in advance to consider covering the rallies. The standard responses to news tippers (concerned callers) were: "Okay, I got your information down,"  hinting you can now hang up the phone and I will forget you right next second. 

The general feeling is that the massacres in Oromia are silenced not only by the Ethiopian government, which has a stranglehold on information flow out of the region, but also by the members of the international media who fail to shade light on the major problems raised by peaceful protesters.

Marchers crossed state lines, country lines and so on to get to the cities in which demonstrations were being held; a sizable number of parents did bring their little ones as there is no one left at home to look after them. 

Some of these demonstrations were grueling as they lasted from 9:am through 2pm, leaving many to lose their voices after shouting slogans for miles and hours without hydrating. But, they seemed to think that losing voice and exhaustion are nothing compared to Oromia's students and residents who are paying the ultimate price in their lives for demanding the end to land grabbing and massive evictions of genocidal proportions in Oromia.

Ethiopia: Should Jigjiga University Students defy Order to Halt Protest?

Jigjiga,about 80 kilometers Eastern of the city of Harar,and the regional capital of the 9 provinces of Somali (Ogaden) region,a region its inhabitants are predominantly Somali and Muslim,which is sealed off international Journalists and aid agencies by the Addis Ababa regime has been a scene of terror for the last couple of years.

,Jigjiga university students that consist of Oromos,Sidamas, Afars, and Somali ethnicity have been conversing and exchanging letters written on them “let’s protest against the dictatorial regime in support of murdered students in Oromia region” Qorahay Media reports.

Outraged by the unnecessary killings of the innocent Oromo students that protested against,Tigray Peoples Liberation Front,the ruling party’s endeavor to annex the Capital City of Finfine (Addis Ababa) in part of the Oromia state,the Jijiga University students’ plan to protest on Friday was delayed by death threats from the head of the Liyu Police and Regional Security officer of the Ogaden Administration,Abdirahman Labago’le,” The report said.

The message of the head of the notorious Liyu Police,Mr. Labago’le, was clear and simple “,any one that’s caught organizing a group of students in part of agitating,mobilizing an uprising should be killed at the scene. Ogaden region is not like Oromia region you can be killed and buried your corpse in an unknown place without the International Communities’ awareness”,The Source said.

Ethiopian government believes that the protests had been encouraged by “media inside and outside the country” and regards as driven by forces that have an intention of “an evil purpose”.

According to Intelligence sources, Tigray Peoples Liberation Front,TPLF, dominant faction of the EPRDF coalition in Ethiopia worried about Tigray,while the government is quietly disintegrating before the 2015-election.

Officials from the most powerful Ethiopian oppositions groups, Ogaden National Liberation front and Oromo Liberation Front, have been conversing amid the increasing tension in Ethiopia, even though they have met several times in abroad in this year ,so many things of what they have discussion still left unknown.

Statement of the National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy (aka Qeerroo BilisummaaOromoo) on the Current Non-violent Movement in Oromia

May 9, 2014

Over the last two weeks, the Oromo people and the Oromo youth, particularly the Oromo students of various colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools and elementary schools have been asking the Oromian regional government the right of the Oromo people on their country Oromia in a peaceful and legal manner according to the right given to us by the Ethiopian constitution.

However, the response of the Ethiopian government to our rightful question has been to unleash its Federal Police and a special military known as Agazi, armed to the teeth, on unarmed youth and civilian population and to turn the entire region into a battle field taking the lives of several dozen Oromians and kidnapping and arresting thousands others. Therefore, we, Qeerroo Bilisummaa Oromoo, hereby ask the Ethiopian government to give appropriate and immediate response to the following rightful and legal demands, which are also the demands of the entire Oromo people.

1. We demand an immediate release of thousands of Oromo youth and other civilians who are jailed and being tortured at several Federal Police prisons in the country. We also demand that the list of these prisoners be released to the Ethiopian public and to the world.
2. We demand that those who killed dozens of unarmed students and peaceful civilians be investigated by an independent body erected by the United Nations and be brought to justice.
3. We demand that all political prisoners languishing in jail over the last 23 years of the TPLF/EPRDF rule under fabricated charges and verdict and those who are kept in prison without any charge be released without any precondition.
4. We demand that the Federal Police and the Federal government military who mercilessly massacres the Oromo people and other civilian citizens be completely removed from Oromia regional state.
5. We demand that all universities, colleges, high schools and other educational institutions be free of the EPRDF political party police, intelligence (spies), and cadres and for these personnel to be removed from the campus of all educational institutions.

Egypt says following arrest of 3 nationals in Ethiopia

Ethiopian security forces had arrested three Egyptians in the westernmost Gambela region near the border with South Sudan.

World Bulletin/News Desk

Egypt is following up the issue of detaining three nationals by Ethiopian security forces, Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmi has said.

"I knew about the arrest of three Egyptians in Ethiopia and we are following up the issue," Fahim was quoted by the private newspaper Youm7 as saying during his current visit to Equatorial Guinea.

"We will announce all the details of the crisis within the next few hours," he added.

Fahmi's statements were the first Egyptian reaction to reports about the arrest of three Egyptians in Ethiopia.

On Thursday, Anadolu Agency quoted a well-placed Ethiopian source as saying that Ethiopian security forces had arrested three Egyptians in the westernmost Gambela region near the border with South Sudan.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said two were arrested while trying to board a public bus bound for Assosa in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region, where Ethiopia is building the multibillion-dollar Renaissance hydroelectric dam on the Nile River.

The third, he added, was seized by Ethiopian citizens while taking pictures of a new dam being constructed on the Baro River, a tributary of the Nile River.

According to the well-placed source, the three Egyptians are currently in police custody in Gambella where they are being interrogated.

He said they had been arrested earlier this week, declining to give their names for security reasons.

"The papers with the three Egyptians carried different names …We are still in the early stages of the investigation," the source said.

Earlier, Ethiopian and Somali websites identified the three arrestees as Youssef al-Haj, Ismail Azeezi and Hassan Garay.

The trio was found to have entered Ethiopian territory illegally without registering at any of the four border crossings between Ethiopia and South Sudan, the source said.

They are expected to face charges of illegal entry, holding forged visas and threatening the country's vital facilities, the source said.

The arrests come amid heightened tension between the two countries over the Renaissance dam.

The project has raised alarm bells in Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country, which fears a reduction of its historical share of Nile water.

Water distribution among Nile basin states has long been regulated by a colonial-era treaty giving Egypt and Sudan the lion's share of river water.

However, citing its need for development, Ethiopia says it must build a series of dams to generate electricity, both for local consumption and export.

Addis Ababa insists the new dam will benefit downstream states Sudan and Egypt, both of which will be invited to purchase the electricity thus generated.

Foreign Minister: No serious response from Ethiopia over Renaissance Dam

Al-Masry Al-Youm

Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said on Saturday from Guinea that Egypt will not be reluctant toward the Nile Basin issue and will take advantage of all diplomatic chances to clarify its stance as well as friends to find solutions that fulfill aspirations of African countries without harming interests of anyone.

"However, we had not found practical response from Ethiopia toward serious negotiations," he added.

He added that he met with his Ethiopian counterpart in Brussels a month ago when they tackled somes ideas that they had earlier considered and they are still awaiting a response from the Ethiopian side.

 

He pointed to an agreement that was made last year to hold technical negotiations, followed by bilateral negotiations. However, the technical negotiations were not concluded so the following political negotiations were never held.

 

Uganda and Tanzania, according to Fahmy, proposed holding unofficial meetings for the Nile Basin countries. The proposals were not considered, he said, adding that Egypt is open to dialogue with Africans and has confidence in its rights and desire to reach solutions that do not harm its interests.

 

Regarding developments over resuming membership of Egypt at the African Union, Fahmy brought up the previous rejection on the decision as well as Egyptian efforts toward the decision. He also pointed to positive indicators by African leaders like support of Guinean president toward return of Egypt to the union as well as the union’s agreement to follow up on the presidential agreements

 

In relevant news, Fahmy said that authorities in question are following on arrest of three Egyptians in Ethiopia over spying.
