Ayyaantuu.com | Waxabajjii/June 08, 2014

Two OPDO members and messengers of the minority junta TPLF who are part of the system that is killing Oromo students and people are in Washington, DC USA on a mission to defend the massacre in Ambo/Oromia and to lobby for the TPLF.

Dr. Mitiku Tesso, Ambo University President

Dr. Mitiku Tesso, President of Ambo University, who has few weeks ago denied mass killing of Oromo students in Ambo and Dhaba Dabale, central Committee of OPDO are here in Washington, DC to further bleed the Oromo people by denying and defending the daylight killing of tens of Oromo students in Ambo and in all over Oromia. Dr. Mitiku and Dhaabaa, who is a long time TPLF loyalist, are sent by TPLF to make the lobby effort in States Department to directly counter the just struggle of the Oromo people at home and the diplomatic victory scored by worldwide Oromo movement to support the struggle back home.

Theses two TPLF agents are also working against the effort and the positive dialogue that the group of Oromo community leaders, youth leaders, women organization leaders, religious leaders and nationalists in Washington, DC are making with the States department on the current crises and problems in Oromia.

Therefore, Oromo nationalists are making a call to all Oromos to unit once again in defusing the evil efforts of these two TPLF messengers.

Dr. Mitiku Tesso and Dhaabaa Dabale are currently staying in the Hilton Garden, located at 815 14th Street NW Washington, DC. Tele. no. 202-783-7800.

A Call for Discussion to all Diaspora based Oromo Youth Organizations

June 8, 2014

Since the Oromo Protests began, Ethiopian security forces responded to the peaceful protests by massacring, imprisoning and torturing innocent students. Government forces famously known as the (Agazi Commandos) have been abducting university students both at school and home. Furthermore, thousands of students have been expelled from universities and are continuously terrorized outside of school. Due to Ethiopia’s repressive policies and lack of free media not much is known about the current crisis. Continuous murders and arbitrary arrests of Oromo students go unreported. However, Oromo groups in the diaspora have organized and rallied in solidarity with Oromo Protests to pressure the international community to condemn human rights violations in Ethiopia. This allowed for some media coverage from the international community, but not enough to get mass media attention.

In an effort to fully understand the recent Oromo protests in full context, the International Oromo Youth Association (IOYA) calls for a discussion on paltalk.com. The discussion aims to bring together global Oromo youth organizations in an attempt to address the most prominent issue currently facing the Oromia region in Ethiopia. This Paltalk discussion will allow youth organizations to speak about the issue and formulate an agenda on what role Oromo Diaspora based communities should play. It is imperative to have a global discussion on the issue and identify advocacy strategies that can be employed by those residing outside of Oromia, Ethiopia.

We will have a special guest speaker, Nagessa Oddo Dube, lawyer and human rights activist who will be present to facilitate the discussion and answer questions. At the end of the discussion Executive board members will present the agenda for the Oromo Youth Leadership Conference (OYLC) to be held this coming August.

Our Discussion will consist of:

(1) What is the Oromo Protests?
(2) Why are the students protesting?
(3) What was the outcome of that protest?
(4) What is the Role of the Diaspora communities?

The Discussion will begin at 6:00-8:00 pm Eastern, U.S.A time on Saturday, June 21, 2014. The username for Paltalk.com is (ioyaforum). If you have any questions or concerns please email us atioyanetwork@gmail.comor amaneb36@gmail.com

Yeroo tokko tokko dabree dabree waan tokko tokko ilaaluuf yoo ta’e malee, anillee “Facebook” tti fayyadamuuf yeroos ta’ee, dhugaa dubbachuudhaaf,  fedhiillee hin qabu.

Ethiopia Recruits Bloggers to Attack Oppositions and the Eritrean Government

Regime in Paranoia? From Jamming satellite transmissions, blocking websites, criminalise using Skype and arresting bloggers to recruiting paid online attackers and arresting bloggers to training paid social media recruits?

IN an attempt to reduce online criticisms and shower positive image of itself, the Ethiopian Government recently started to train and recruit paid attackers on the web to anything critical of its administration, the Ethiopian Satellite Television Service (ESAT) reported.

In the the second round of new recruits, 235 bloggers were trained in Adama town, focusing on how to shape public opinion on Facebook and other social media technologies by posting comments and documents that support the regime.

The training was given to selected people from different ethnic groups who support the regime, and that the trainees report directly to government officials, ESAT said.

So far, the trainees have opened 2,350 Facebook, Twitter and blog accounts to show the Ethiopian regime in a favorable light, and to criticize anti-government articles, websites, the Ethiopian opposition and the Eritrean government.

With a dismal one percent of people having access to the internet in Ethiopia, the likely intended target of the regime’s online strategy are the Ethiopian and Eritrean Diasporas, an observer noted.
