Abay Tsehay, One of the Top TPLF Men, Said: “Nothing Will Stop the [Addis Ababa Master] Plan”
(May 4, 2014)
#OromoProtests OPDO senior leaders who returned from their failed attempt to persuade students in number of universities unanimously recommended that Addis Ababa Master Plan should be postponed in order cool things down and conduct ‘educational’ campaign. However their recommendation was rejected by Abay Tsehaye, veteran strongman of TPLF, who is currently serving as the ‘Prime Minister’s advisory for urban development. He reportedly told them, ‘Nothing will stop this plan’. It is said that even Kuma Demeksa, who is seen publicly defending the Plan endorsed the recommendation to postpone but only to be overruled by the real power holders.
You might recall that in 2003, at the meeting held in Ziway, Abaye Tsehaye proposed Afaan Oromo to be removed from being working language of a dozen of towns in Oromia, because ‘not even 30% of urban population is Oromo.’ At the time, Suleyman Dadafo, then head of the propaganda department of OPDO walked out of the meeting in protest, never to be seen again in high level meeting. Abay’s plan at the time did not go through. Now it seems he has found an even grander plan to eliminate any thing Oromo from major urban centers.

Haramaya Still Under Siege
(May 4, 2014)
#OromoProtests Haromaya University still under siege by (in)security forces. Students unable to leave campus. Those who ran away during the beating are denied entry as well. Also banks given strict order to not payout money sent by parents to any one using student ID. Many students stranded outside campus without means to pay for food and shelter. Residents in neighboring towns have been extremely gracious in hosting them. We are grateful to our people of Haromaya and ask them to continue with their solidarity with the defenseless students.
