How far TPLF government of Ethiopia does infiltrate Oppositions at home and abroad?

By Adugna Dinka

Infiltrating one’s opponents existed as far back as conflict existed in human history. It is used for espionage and dividing the opponents for the purposes of weakening and having victory upon the opponents in any form. Those organized groups or parties with superior infiltration ability get the upper hand in most cases.

It is mostly a process of getting one’s member to enter in the enemy territory or enter opponent group as their member and work as a spy or facilitate the division of the opponent organization making them to break apart and weaken. In some cases the infiltrator may go up the ladder of power and share power.

My point of discussion over here is not the art of infiltration but about the ability of TPLF/EPDRF to infiltrate opposition parties at home and abroad. It is obvious that the first organization the TPLF with Shabia had well infiltrated was the derg government of the Ethiopian empire of Mengistu H/Mariam. At the end of the fall of the derg government, TPLF used to get victory again and again. Sometimes the military of the derg government get attacked before they reach the battle front or they surrender easily. This shows that the TPLF and Shabia have enough information about the deployment of the derg army before it happens. That means there was a high level of TPLF/Shabia infiltration in the derg government and military. So, they won that war easily and controlled the empire.

In 1991/92, Oromo liberation front was the member of the transitional government of Ethiopia. It was also a strong opponent of the TPLF/EPDRF led government. OLF used to control the country side of most parts of Oromia, while TPLF/EPDRF controls all other regions plus important parts of Oromia (cities, towns and areas along the main roads). This time was the time when most Oromos supported and joined OLF. It was nationalistic and hot time for Oromos because it was the time when Oromos start knowing one another from North to South, East to West.  It was an emotional time in the history of Oromos. During this time it was just an easy job for TPLF/EPDRF to infiltrate OLF.  So, weyane easily camouflaged itself into OLF and this was one of the reasons that enabled weyane to overcame OLF in 1992 when conflict arisen between them.

Since then OLF was breaking apart day by day. AWO (adda walabummaa Oromo) break away from OLF. Then OLF ‘change’ break away, and recently the ODF (Oromo democratic front) was formed by an old OLF members. The division of the organization grew its root to the Oromo public especially in diaspora. It appears that the TPLF has managed to infiltrate OLF to the top level.  What is worrying is at what level they infiltrated OLF and when this division is going to stop.

It is very easy for TPLF/EPDRF to infiltrate home based oppositions. They are well experienced at it. I don’t be surprised if half of the members of opposition parties at home are the members of TPLF too. TPLF/EPDRF with party members of more than 5million can easily manage to register their members into other home based parties. To imagine how far they can go up in the ladder of power of the opposition parties is difficult.

The main opposition parties are not based at home. 10s of them reside abroad. Some like OLF (Oromo liberation front), ONLF (Ogaden national liberation front) and SLM (Sidama liberation movement) are organizations that have bases in diaspora and military wings in the deserts and forests of their respective nations. That means they wage armed war against weyane at home while they are active diplomatically abroad.

There are other diaspora based organizations like Ginbot 7 which controls the vast diaspora economic support with the media power of ESAT satellite television.  This opposition organization for sure is a big interest for TPLF just for its media power alone which of course is supported by diaspora economic power house of those who support the Ethiopian empire unity based on the old system. This organization not only controls the diaspora wealth of the old Ethiopianists, but also the power of acquiring information (due to the economic support it has from the diaspora). Information by itself is a source of power and having the mouthpiece like ESAT to disseminate it is an immense power.

The TPLF/EPDRF government of Ethiopia can actually easily infiltrate all these, though it is difficult to do that to the military wing of OLF, ONLF, and SLM. As far as the military wing is under the command of the central leadership of the organizations, if the TPLF infiltration has managed to reach the main leadership, they still can affect the decision making process and enable the direct information flow to TPLF. They can also initiate conflict and division among the leadership of any organization.

It is very interesting to witness the political interest of people in diaspora at this time in history. Many people are travelling abroad for study from Ethiopia. In most cases these people embark on becoming the member of an opposition political organization from their ethnicity. They try to appear that they are really critical of the TPLF led government of Ethiopia. Practically they are just gathering information about any opposition member at any level.  Their targets are mostly OLF, ODF, ONLf, G7 and the like. Over here it is also important to mention that TPLF/EPDRF has trained many people linguistically so that they can fit into any ethnic group opposition organization they want to infiltrate.

Overall, organization like TPLF/EPDRF with more than 5 million active members and with a good incentives (good job, better pay, educational chance at home and abroad ETC.) can infiltrate any opposition parties (abroad or at home). They can also go up the ladder of leadership to influence the decision making process and insure the flow of information to TPLF once they are a member. TPLF/EPDRF members at this time are well educated just like any body and they can blend with any group or any opposition organization. That means there are no criteria to exclude them from being a member of any party. They all travel abroad with a clear mandate. They are not in 100s, but in thousands. They can reach any corner where any diaspora opposition lives. So it is up to the opposition organizations to watch out.

OSA 2013 Conference Forum: OROMO SELF-INTROSPECTION

Panelist Tesfa Guma | August 5, 2013

I hope that you are all aware of the Oromo political dilemma, the subject which I would like to address today.  This is only an attempt to put our innate problems in perspective as I see them.  It is a national concern which is critical to all of us and therefore when I say, they, I am pointing fingers at all of us starting with myself because we are all in it together.

Oromo nation is in a political predicament with no apparent end in sight. The leaderships appear to have lost their way and no one seems to know what to do or which way to turn. The fundamental question is, “what is wrong with Oromo”? The search for why and how and the solution for the problem is the subject of this talk. It involves national self- examination. Instead of the usual finger pointing at someone else it is time for OROMO SELF-INTROSPECTION , which is the title of my presentation. In the course of addressing this Oromo national consciousness we will make a brief mention of the nation and the country before the invasion by Menelik. We will then analyze why and how the invasion took place. Next we shall talk about the colonial period and its effects during the domination. We will conclude by suggesting the way out of the plight. Our main focus will hence be onOromo short comings.

A: Oromo Before Menelik

As the largest member of Nagada Kush, Oromos enjoyed freedom until they fell mostly by their own devise. Added to that, the relation with the neighbor has never been one of peaceful coexistence. For centuries before the recapture of Biyya Oromo by Boran and Barentu, the neighbors invaded and caused havoc on Oromo. They sold out thousands of Oromos as slaves and killed many more, leaving large spaces of land unoccupied.  On one hand, the return of Borana and Barentumma followed by the expansion period, was the most glorious period   in the nation’s history. On the other hand, the fragmentation of Odaas caused by the expansion  started  the  destruction of Oromo Tokummaa.

B: The Conditions which helped the Invasion

The abundant resources of Oromia and the hard life of the neighbors in the mountains were the two natural conditions which made the invasion seem necessary. Added to this is the Oromo self-imposed weakness which farther whetted the neighbor’s appetite and made colonization a viable venture. In preparation for invasion the colonizers took advantage of our shortcomings enumerated as follow:

1. Odaa fragmentation caused by expansion which renderedcommunities too far spread out therefore too weak for self-defense hence ready for exploitation.
2. Ofittumma by the Gadaa leaders which resulted in  Motii/ dictatorial system destroying Gadaa and Oromo unity.
3. Competition and fighting between Odaa leaders/ Mootiis which weakened Oromo fighting forces.
4. The Gadaa rule of holding Caffee / National Gummii Gaayyo  every eight years which made it all the more difficult for Odaa Communities to convene  timely gatherings  for  consultation especially when war came.
5. Religious differences which created dislike between the followers of the three religions further aggravated the problems of misunderstanding between the communities.
6. Isolation of Oromo from neighboring countries which impeded acquisition of war materials.
7.   Lack of political and diplomatic skills which subjected Oromos to succumb to Habasha political duping. No nation would come to help Oromo.

With Oromo in these situations Menelik found a weak nation ready for invasion.  He decided to use the opportunity to attack each Oromo community one by one to fulfill his grand ambition which was to colonize Biyya Oromo, subjugate and if possible totally decimate the nation and instill Gabrumma in the people.

C.   Weaknesses Which helped Subjugation

To hold fast on to his new colony Menelik decided to exploit more of the following Oromo weaknesses which are extension of the previous enumerated short comings.

1. Ofittummaa , Gullibility and lack of confidence which trapped and pegged  down the leadership. Farther more fear, tactlessness, stubbornness and inability to keep followers united , inaction, lack of vision for Oromo as a nation, lack of political and diplomatic skills, and dishonesty with the people they claim to lead all but left the leadership irrelevant. Some examples for the gullibility characteristics  are that of Susnios fooling leaders of Innarya Oromos; Menelik in a woman’sdress to appease the well known Oromo General, and Ras Teferi humbly bowing to the unsuspecting great Oromo political genius. These were graphic examples of Habasha politics. There were even more military Rases and generals under Haile Selassie who were in perfect position to take power. But they never had the confidence to do so.  Even today Examples of the recent ones include the deployment of priests in the name of religion to entice and arrest, imprison, and murder the leaders of Maccaa and Tulamaa. The Oromo elites who taught the ways of Communism to the Derg but later were eliminated.  The duping of the leadership of OLF in 1991 as well as the imposed Oromo political party since then, is an on-going damage from which Oromo is yet to recover.
2. The colonizers all needed the support of the gullible Oromo leaders whom they later methodically eliminated. Those who survived elimination were made puppets by those who duped them. These leaders could have assumed power only if they could listen to advices from their own people, did away with ofittumma and gullibility, committed themselves to Oromo cause and acted with confidence. Instead their decisions were to help the colonizer.
3. Oromos in general, following the examples of the leadership Ofittummaa, have adapted some destructive behaviors which starts with Wal-daguu. They turn against each other and becomegantu, untrustworthy, traitors, defectors, deserters, enemy informants, betrayers and mercenaries to help the colonizers to subjugate none other than their own people. Today we find these behaviors in every Oromo village. Of all our weaknesses this act of people working against each other is playing havoc on Oromo’s quest for equality.
4. The continuing Regionalism and religious differences which have farther caused deterioration of Oromo Tokkumma. Again, this was all to the advantage of the colonizer.
5. 5.     Oromo introvert nature resulting in disinterest between communities and other peoples which has left us friendless. This has benefitted none but the invaders.

These weaknesses have played the decisive role in the demise of Oromo.

1. Colonial Rule of Subjugation  

Once Oromo totally surrendered, the next policy was to destroy Oromo Tokkummaa in order to render the society powerless, without the chance of recovery. The strategies to subjugate the colony were to :

1. Eliminate indigenous leadership by outlawing Gadaa system.
2. Deprive Education to the Gallas : (Re. Gen. Taddese  Birru vis P. M. Aklilu
3. Intensify Oromo Isolation from the neighbors:
4. De-Oromize the people by changing the name to Galla , marry into them, give them Habasha names, render them extinct and unknown to the world.
5. Aggravate religious differences, pit them against each other and weaken their unity.
6. Regionalize Oromia into Xeqlay Gizat, Awrajas, Woredaas and Kebelees and minimize contacts between these communities.
7. Denigrate, intimidate and terrorize the people to total submission.

Oromo Life as a Colony

The present day Oromo, having been born under colonial rule, really never had the taste of true freedom. We have become a nation without a country or government of our own. We are citizens of another nation, and tenants/share croppers on our own farms. We have become a submissive nation to do as told, live as ordered, behave as instructed, and vote as dictated. Under the guise of another name, Galla, our Oromo name we had known for thousands of years became unrecognized by the world. Only we Oromos brought all these upon ourselves. Our own weaknesses made us to give it all away. I hope at the end of this Self-introspection we will all agree to quote a French general who once said, “we have met the enemy, it is us”.  Without question, only Oromos must find a way to put an end to this self-destruction.

THE WAY OUT

I believe that there is a way out; and it can be done. We can achieve it by doing away with our weaknesses. If we don’t, we are contributing to the demise of Oromo. We should start with Oromo Civic Education and teach the people to embrace Oromummaa. This should create a sense of belonging to Oromo society and instigate national action with determination. The main objective of Oromo Civic Education program should be to inculcate the love of Oromoness which should evolve into Tokkummaa.  This is a challenge for Oromo Studies Association on whom we can rely to analyze each shortcoming, and formulate strategies focusing on the teachings of Oromo  short comings, all geared to awaken the nation. I suggest, OSA can use the helps of a team of Oromo experts, especially Oromo Historians, Sociologists, Socio economists, Anthropologists, political scientists and those with diplomatic skills. Once the teachings are embraced by the people and once the leaders gain confidence in themselves and take action with commitment, the other related problems will take care of themselves.  If we do this we can revive the nation and save it from its own self destruction. This, I believe, ladies and gentlemen, will be the beginning of the end for Oromo demise and   in deed save the nation from total decimation.

Another gap between Habasha and Oromo

Gabi | August 5, 2013

The current media fighting between Oromo and Amhara is not both the beginning and end, it is just approval of the past history. It’s about realizing that ones action or two words, which were Oromo, first may have done exactly that, righting a wrong or demonstrating the primary and secondary enemy of Oromo people and Oromia . As a result amazingly there was a voting in the past three weeks on Ethiopia or Oromo first. For me it was very straight for ward and simple statement just like choosing between black and white, because undoubtedly for those who are Oromo, Oromo first and similarly for whose who are Amhara, Amhara first. However that was not a case for every one. After some group showed up to vote against the statement rather than topic. On the surface, it looks again like an attempt to cover up the trues.

Closing heart and brain from the right and fighting for wrong. Somehow doesn’t surprise me, because I know that every injustice arouses anger, or nightmare. A taste and hanger for oppression is the mark of moral deformation. To have no idea of what it means to be treated unjustly is to have no moral knowledge. The Amhara and their illegitimate puppy believe that the Oromo deserve to suffer or assimilated. This deliberate cruelty of the attack is unmistakable. Some people are still following the pass root of their fathers. Which are subjects is grimmer or more morally compelling than crimes of hate. What we are seeing and hearing on the media in the last three weeks are clearly show that these people are going to repeat the same mistake their ancestors did. It is not what I am saying it is what they are saying, when they deny the existence of Oromo people at all. They are not going to accept the reality. They are not going to accept equality. They are not going to accept humanity. They are not going to respect our difference, and they are not going to share our similarity, but they are using every single available chance to assimilate us. They just want to give us fake name and destroy our identity. They will never ever like us who we are, unless we changed to Amhara and fully accept Ethiopianism.

We as Oromo need to remember the past to protect the present and future. They also need to remember what their ancestors (Amhara) did to our people, our right our land, our law, our belief system, our resource and the list will go on which stand out among acts of injustice. Their viciousness instills horror, which are extraordinary, not ordinary crimes. They are the one who cut off breasts that gave us life. They are the one who take away the soul of thousands of Oromo brave, wise sons and daughters. They are the one who barry our well-known constitution Gadaa system. Let Oromo’s reflect some of the past to stand for present and future.

The current media fighting between Amhara and Oromo rose some unforgivable and unforgettable past history. We sought of genocide have past, we sought the Crimes of hate have a past, we sought the oppression have past sadly they have a future, too, as each of the past criminal offspring eagers to contributes to the climate of demonization and the desire for restoring the past system of one ethnicity, one religion in one country. They still want to repeat the same mistake their father did. The cycle extends across generations.

Let me remind you some of the darkest, most dehumanizing human actions, from genocides to paralyse, are recurrent. Hate crimes and group-based violence and domestic cruelty are elements of everyday life for all Oromo of the past and present.

I would like to ask Oromo’s public and private settings, religious groups, political associations, and youth association to confront these hate crimes on the public view. We all need to work to stop the cycle of hate. Let us confront publicly and privately this special designation of hate rime. Let us confront this awful centuries long action which designed and motivated to acknowledge the hunt of Oromo women and men nationally and internationally, just because their mention who they are and what they want. When we think of the cycle of hatred, we need to think of genocide and unimaginable crimes against Oromo. We need to think of all the indiscriminate crime against Oromo people, Crimes of violence against Oromo are still, for the most part, crimes of impunity. Hate crimes and hate speech, and domestic abuse as aspects of a whole. We must stand up for what we love. We have to stop who ever come to destroy that. Because that is our identity, that is who we are, that is our cultural heritage, which are our values that we cant survive without. Therefore we must stand up to fight this unnecessary hatred crime against as.

So we Oromo need to respond harshly to those who introduce, regulating Hatred, to those who utter Crimes speech, to those who want to distort out great history and great culture. I would like to call on Oromo glorious women and men to fight this hatred preach of mass media hatred. I am not saying we have to cause them and their supporters suffering in turn, but I am arguing this endless discrimination and underestimation need to end now. We need to turn on the true history of Oromo people to stop the fiction. We need to speak out the reality to stop fantasy. We need to able to hold the perpetrators responsible for the past and present verbal and physical crime against single moving Oromo. Oromo first is who we are no one can change that. Oromia is our home we can share with who we want. “We don’t hate, only the unloved one hate”.

Genocide in Totolamo Village, Ethiopia,Oromia

Genocide: 11 Oromo Muslims mowed down in the Totolamo village blood bath

The small maize and potato farming Muslim village of Totolamo in south west oromiyya near the strategic town of Shashemene is in deep mourning after 11 of her citizens gunned down in cold blood by the genocidal Tigre People Liberation Front/ TPLF federal police commandos on Saturday August 3, 2013.

A five year old kid, an elderly imam and four teens are among the dead according to information obtained from Shashemne general hospital where the bodies are stashed in a tiny morgue. The number of the wounded is still unknown.

The fate of hundreds who took refuge inside the Erob Gebya Mosque in the troubled village and surrounded by the federal police is also not yet known. Several others are in detention at the nearby Kofele town police station and the town along with Totolamo village is under total control of the TPLF gunmen in police uniform. Today August 4, 2013 residents are warned to stay indoors as the situation remain frighteningly tense.

The brutal attack on unarmed and benevolent villagers began at nine o’clock yesterday morning after the faithful gathered for their routine prayer meeting. Then the commandos poured into the village and started firing indiscriminately, causing massive chaos and mayhem.

Although genocide has become synonymous with the ruling minority junta for 22 years, the Totelamo blood bath is the first mass killing for newly appointed federal police commander Assefa Abiyo who is said to be more ruthless and ferocious than his predecessor Workneh Gebeyhu.

Scores of relatives from the town of Shashemene are currently waiting to hear the names of the dead or the wounded at the main gate of the general hospital.

Furthermore, in the latest update posted on Minilik salsawi’s Facebook account, Federal police commandos are among the dead in the Totolamo blood bath as the people tried to defend themselves by throwing stones at the heavily armed attackers backed by deafening machinegun fire.

In related news coming out of yet another nearby western Oromiyya town of Dodola, federal police rapid intervention force unit members were chased away from the area about fifteen hours ago by residents after they made an attempt to arrest a highly regarded local imam.

According to updates reaching the Horn Times from Dodola, angry residents followed the fleeing police force to the region’s administration offices and the Jaarsolii (elders) are still locked in negotiations with the authorities.
