በሃገር ማቅናት ስም የተፈጸሙ ግፎችን ይክዳሉ

በቀለ ጅራታ ከስዊድን

ባለፉት ዘመናትም ሆነ ዛሬ በኢትዮዽያ ኣመሰራረት ላይ በውስጣ በሚኖሩ ሃዝቦች መካከል መግባባት የለም። የሃገሪቷን ስልጣን በሃይል የያዙት ወገኖች “ሃገር የማቅናት ስራ ሰራን እንጂ, የፈጸምነው በደል የለም;” እያሉ በሃገር ማቅናት ስም የተፈጸሙ ግፎችን ይክዳሉ። ለምንም ኣላማ ይሁን የተገፉ፣ ነጻነታቸውንና ክብራቸውን የተነጠቁ ህዝቦች ደግሞ በሃይል ሃገራችንን ተነጠቅን እንጂ ወደን ኣይደለም በማለት የተነጠቁኣቸውን መብቶች በማስመለስ ለእኩልነት፣ ለነጻነትና ለፍትሕ ይታገላሉ።

በነዚህ ሁለት ተጻራሪ ሃሳቦች ምክንያት – “የሃገር ኣቅኚ” ወገንም ሆኑ ሌሎችም – በኣንድ ላይ ሰላም በማጣት ለዘመናት ስማቅቁ ለመኖር ተገደዋል። ኣለም ሰልጥኖ ጨረቃ ላይ በወጣበት ዘመን እንኳን የኣስተሳሰብ ለውጥ ለማምጣት የተሳናቸው ወገኖች ዛሬም ቀድሞ የተበላሹትን ሁኔታዎች ለማስተካከል ከመስራት ይልቅ, የሕዝቦችን ቁስል  የሚያደሙ  ታሪኮችን ለማደስ እየተሽቀዳደሙ  ይታያሉ።

በተለይም ባለፉት ሃያ ሁለት ኣመታት, ኣእምሮና ህሊና የጎደላቸው ግለስቦች ወይም ቡድኖች በሃገር ኣንድነት ስም ጸረ-ኣንድነትና ኣፍራሽ ድርጊቶችን ስያራግቡ እንደከረሙ ትክክለኛ ኣስተሳሰብ ያላቸው የማይክዱት ነው። ለሃገር ኣንድነት ተቆርቃሪ እየመሰሉ ለነጻነትና ለኩልነት፣ የሚታገሉትን ህዝቦች  እንደሃገር ኣፍራሽ ሲቆጥሩና ሲያወግዙ እስከዛሬ ዘልቀዋል። እነዚህ ወገኖች የራሳቸውን የትምክህት ስሜትና ኣስተሳሰብ ከማዳመጥ በስተቀር ለነገ የህዝቦች ኣብሮነት ደንታ የላቸውም። ባለፉት ሃያ ሁለት ኣመታት ህዝቦችን የሚያራርቅ እንጂ የሚያቀራርብ ተግባር ስፈጽሙ ኣልታዩም። ጤነኛ ኣስተሳስብ ያለው ወገን ተበደልኩ የሚለውን ወገን በማዳመጥ ያለፉት ስተቶች እንዳይደገሙ የበኩሉን ይሰራል እንጂ ኣልተበደልክም፣ ወይም የተፈጸሙት በደሎች ትክክል ናቸው ቢሎ በተበዳዩ ኣያፌዝም። እንደዚህ ኣይነት ኣስተሳሰብ ኣንድ ነን፣ ተዋልደናል፣ ሁላችንም የኣንድ ሃገር ልጆች ነን ከሚል   ኣይቀርብም።

ከላይ እንደመግቢያ ላነሳሁት ምክንያት የሆነኝ ሰሞኑን የኦሮሞና የደቡብ ህዝቦችን በመውረር በወቅቱ መጠነ-ሰፊ በደሎችን ያደረሰውን ምኒልክን እንደ ኣዲስ የማወደስና ከነልሰን ማንደላ በበለጠ ደግ የሰራ ጀግና እያሉ የእንተርነት ድህረ ገጾችን እያጣበቡ ያሉ ወገኖች ሁኔታ ነው። እነዚህ ወገኖች ምኒልክ ለእነሱ ጀግና ሲሆን ለሌሎች እንደ ኦሮሞ፣ ሱማሌ፣ ሲዳማ፣ ወላይታ፣ ወዘተ ለምን ጀግናቸው ኣድርገው እንደማይመለከቱ ለምን እንዳልተገነዘቡ ኣይገባኝም፣ እነሱ ምኒልክ “ሃገር ኣቀና” ብሉም እሱ የፈጸመው ከኣውሮፓ ቅኝ ገዢዎች የበለጠ ግፍና በደል  በመሆኑ ማወደስ ሳይሆን ታሪኩም በግፈኞች ተርታ መጻፍ ያለበት ነው።

በጣም የሚገርመው ደግሞ እንደ ጋዜጠኛ ተመስገን ደሳለኝ ኣይነቱ ከዚህ በፊት “ወገናዊነት የማያጠቃውና የሃገሪቷን የፖለቲካ ሁኔታ ሚዛናዊ በሆነ መልኩ በማቅረብ በብዙ አንባቢዎች ዘንድ እኔን ጨምሮ ኣድናቆት የነበረው” ግለሰብ ከሱና ከመሰሎቹ በስተቀር ምኒልክ በሌሎች የኢቶዽያ ህዝቦች ዘንድ በምን ሁኔታ እንደሚታወስ እያወቀ በህዝቦች መካከል ውጥረት ነግሶ ባለበት ጊዜ ምኒልክን ተወዳዳሪ የሌለው ጀግና ኣድርጎ ማቅረቡ ነው። ዘር ከልጓም ይስባል እንደሚባለው ሆኖበት ወይም  ከወገኖቹ መካከል መልካም ታሪክ ያለውን በማጣት ሊሆን ይችላል የሀገሪቷ ፖለቲካ ችግር ውስጥ መኖሩን እሱ እራሱ በተደጋጋሚ ጽፎ ሲያስነብብ ቆይቷል። ለፖለቲካ ችግርና ውጥረት መንስኤ የሆነውም እንደዚህ ኣይነቱ የተዛባና የሃገሪቷን ጠቅላላ ህዝቦች የማይወክሉና ከኣንድ ወገን ብቻ የሚወደሱ ኣመለካከቶች መሆናቸው ነው። ይህ በኣሁኑ ጊዜ እንደዚህ ኣይነት የተበዳዩን ወገን ጠባሳ የሚያደሙ ታሪኮችን ከተቀበሩበት ጉድጓድ እያወጡ መጻፍ ማለት በባለታሪኩ የተፈጸሙት ግፎችና በደሎች ሁሉ ትክክል ናቸው ብሎ በተበደለው ህዝብ ላይ እንደማፌዝና የለየለት ንቀት መሆኑን መረዳትና መታረም ያስፈልጋል።

ምኒልክን ጀግናና የተመሰከረለት ታላቅ መሪ ኣድርገው ያልነበረውን ባህርይ ኣልብሰው በኣሁኑ ጊዜ ማቅረብ ማለት ኣላማው እራሱ የምኒልክ ኣገዛዝ ከፈጸመው ግፍ የከፋ እንጂ ያነሰ ኣይደለም። ይህንን ኣይነቱን ታሪክ ነው ብለው ሞቶ የተረሳውን የሚያራግቡ ግለሰቦች ወ ይም ቡድኖች ለኢትዮዽያ ሃዝቦች ኣንድነት የለየላቸው ጠንቅ መሆናቸውን ማወቅ ኣለባቸው። እነዚህ ወገኖች ምኒልክ ስተት የሰራው “የተበታተኑ ሃዝቦችን ኣንድ ለማድረግና ሃገር ለማቅናት” ነበር ብለው ልያሳምኑን ይሞክራሉ። ወራሪው ምኒሊክ ግን እንኳን የተበታተኑትን ህዝቦች ማቀራረብ ይቅርና የወረራቸውን ህዝቦች ኣንድም ጊዜ ህዝቦቼ ናቸው ኣላለም። ያደረገው ነገር ቢኖር ግማሹን የራሱና የተከታዮቹ መገልገያ ባሪያ ሲይደርጋቸው ሌሎችን ደግሞ ሰብስቦ ለውጭ ባለውለታዎቹ ሸጣቸው። እሱ በዘረጋው መንገድ ወራሾቹም የህዝቦችን መሬት ቀምተው ገባርና ጭሰኛ በማድረግ ያለ ርህራሄ የህዝቦችን ደም ስጠጡ ኖረው በ ህዝቦች ኣብዮት ልገረሰሱ ቻሉ። ያ ሲሆን የሰሜኑ ኣርሶ ኣደር መሬትን በርስተ ጉልትነት ይዘው ለዘር ማንዘራቸው ያስተላልፉ ነበር። የዛሬዎቹ የምኒልክና የሃይለስላሴን ታሪክ ለማራገብና ከሰሩት ግፍ ነጻ ለማድረግ የሚራወጡት ቢያንስ እንደዚያ ኣይነት ኣድሎኣዊ ኣገዛዝን ሰህተት ነበር ብለው በማውገዝ ለወደፊቱ ሌሎች ስተቶች እንዳይኖሩ ለመስራት መነሳሳትና በግድ ለማምጣት የሚሞክሩትን የኢትዮዽያ ኣንድነት በስራ ማሳየት ነበረባቸው።

ከዘመን ዘመን ተጭባጩን ሁኔታ ለመረዳት ኣእምሮም ሆነ ህሊና የሌላቸው ለነገ የሚባልን የማያውቁና በህዝቦች መካከል ሆነ ብለው ግጭት ለመፈጠር­ ወይም ከመቀራረብ መራራቅን የሚስብኩ ቡድኖችንና ግለሰቦችን ነው። እነዚህ ወገኖች በኔ ግምት ከኋላቸው የምያስቡለት ህዝብ የላቸውም። ምክንያቱም ሰላም ማጣትና የእርስበርስ ግጭት ወይም ጦርነት ምን ያህል ኣስከፊና ኣውዳሚ መሆኑንና እንደዚህ ኣይነት ሁኔታ ቢፈጠር ጉዳት የደርስበታል ብለው የምያስቡለት ህዝብ ብኖራቸው ሁልጊዜ ህዝቦችን የሚያጋጭ ወይም ወደ ግጭት የሚወስድ መንገድ ባልተከተሉ ነበር። በርግጥ  በኣለም ህዝቦች ዘንድ   የተወገዘውን የናዚ ኣላማ ደጋፊዎች ባውሮፓ በተለይም በጀርመን ሃገር በዛሬው ጊዜ እየተስፋፉ መሆናቸው ስታሰብ የነዚህም ላይደንቅ ይችላል። ዛሬ ግፍ ኣድራጊውን ምኒልክን እንደዚህ ኣስከፊና ውጥረት በነገሰበት ወቅት ባለ መልካም ታሪክ ኣድርጎ ለማቅረብ መሞከር ከናዚ ጀርመን ኣላማ ደጋፊዎች ተለይቶ ኣይታይም።

በኔ ግምት ኣለም በሰለጠነበትና በቀደሙት ዘመናት የተፈጸሙትን ግፎች በማውገዝ ለመጪው ትውልድ የመከባበርና የመደጋገፍ ሁኔታ እንዲጠነክር በመስራት ላይ ባሉበት ወቅት የድሮ ግፈኞችን ታሪክ ከጉድጋድ ፈልጎ ታሪክ ኣለን ማለት  የጥሩ ታሪክ ኣልባ  ወ ይም  የታሪክ ደሃ  መሆንን ያመለክታል። ለብዙ ዘመናት በውሸት ታሪክ እራስንም ሆነ የኣለም ህብረተሰብን ለማታለል ተሞክሯል። እውነትና ንጋት እያደር ይበራል እንደሚባለው እነዚያ ኩሸቶች ዛሬ ተጋልጠዋል። ስለዚህ ኣዲስ ታሪክ ለመስራት መዘጋጀት እንጂ የረከሰና  ኣፈር ለበላው ታሪክ ለማደስ ጊዜን ከማጥፋት በላይ ለትዝብት ይዳርጋል።

ስለዚህ የነዚህን ጸረ ህዝቦች፣ የሰላምና የወደፊት የህዝቦች ኣንድነት እንቅፋቶችና የመበታተን ኣደጋ መሪ ተዋናዮችን ሰላም ወዳድ የሆኑ፣ ኣእምሮና ህሊና ያላቸው የኣበሻ ልጆች ድምጻቸውን ክፍ ኣድርገው ልቃወሙና ሊያወግዙት ይገባል። ምንልክም ሆነ ሌሎች ገዢዎች ስለሰሩት ግፎች የዛሬዎች ልጆቻቸውና የልጅ ልጆቻቸው እንዲጠየቁ ወይም ካሳ እንድክፍሉ የጠቃቸው ኣካል የለም። ነገር ግን በኦሮሞና በሌሎች የደቡብ ህዝቦች ብቻ ሳይሆን በማንኛውም ህዝብ ላይ በድል መፈጸም ትክክል ኣለመሆኑን መገነዘብና ማንም ይፈጽም ማውገዝ ህሊና ካለው የሚጠበቅ ነው።

Human Rights Activist Obbo Jawar Mohammed on #BoycottBedele Campaign

Editor’s Note Of Gadaa

Human rights activist Obbo Jawar Mohammed endorsed the #BoycottBedele campaign from the beginning; #BoycottBedele sought to stop the glorification of the black Hitler, Menelik II, by minstrel/’Azmari’ Teddy Afro, who characterized the genocide Menelik II waged on the Oromo, Sidama, Wolayta, and other nations and peoples in the Ethiopian empire as a “holy war.”

This is what Obbo Jawar Mohammed noted on his Facebook after the suspension of the #BoycottBedele campaign following the withdrawal of Heineken’s/Bedele’s sponsorship of Teddy Afro’s “Journey of Love for the Black Hitler, Menelik” concert.

——————
From Jawar Mohammed’s Facebook Note:

“Congratulations team #BoycottBedele and those who stood with the just cause. You roared in unison, and you shattered the inflated wall of arrogance. You taught Bedele that it cannot throw a party over the graveyards of our ancestors. You rose up against all odds, overcame multiple obstacles and you beat the well-financed and brutish right-wing machinery hands down! Hey, Qubee generation, you have passed this test with flying colours. This is just the beginning, more work awaits us!

One would have hoped this episode provided valuable lesson to the other side, but predictably they are missing out once again. They are sticking to their old and tired tactic of belittling Oromo. As usual, first they dismissed the campaign, then they tried to distort it, and they threw the kitchen sink. Now, although we beat them in an open and public fight over the last week, they don’t want to admit; hence, they attempt to give credit to Woyane. The obvious fact is that the regime wanted and would benefit from a prolonged tension rather than a quick conclusion. Hence, it has no rational reason to embark on such intervention so early.

The campaign beat them because it’s on the right side of the argument; it utilized efficient strategies and worked tirelessly. The campaign had direct dealing with Heineken/Bedele both on the ground and at headquarters. It is this direct confrontation, and the application of open and direct pressure that forced Bedele to retreat. Basically, Bedele cancelled the contract because it stood to lose in the beer market. The campaign first warned, and then posed credible and visible threat to the company’s sales. The company asked for opinions of its distributors and sales representatives, who overwhelmingly warmed headquarters that the campaign will have devastating repercussion. As the protest spread and the message began to take effect, the call came in to unplug the sponsorship.

Thus, right wingers, instead of recycling የናቴ መቀነት አደናቀፈኝ, you should admit that you were wrong, outsmarted and outperformed. More importantly, you should know the Oromo voice is no longer one that can be drowned through noise and distortion.”

“OF ILAALLEE” GAAFFII OF GAAFACHUUN , ULAAGAA NAMUMMAATI!

Y.G(2005) , Kutaa 3ffaa

Kutaa 2ffaa barruu koo kanan xumure, Hawaasa Oromoo Biyya alaa/hambaa irratti yaada eegaleen ture. Isuma irraan itti fufa.

Hawaasi Oromoo Biyyoota hambaa keessa jiran sochiin isaanii dabalaa deeme moo, hanqachaa deeme ? jenne yoo kaafne, maqaa Biyyootaa fi Magaaloota adda addaa kaafne sochii turee fi jiru tarrisuu dandeenya. Hawaasi Oromoo Biyya hambaa  jireenyaan wal qabatee, dhimma Ummata isaanii waliin qindeeffatanii deemu irratti rakkoon akka jiru ni dubbatama. Irra jireessa garuu scohii itti fufiinsaa taasisaa turan irraa laafachuu argina. Sababaan ammo, waanuma ifa jiruudha. Akka walii galaattii garuu , amaloota siyaasa keessaa hubachuu dhabuu fi yeroo qabsoo keessatti rakkon yeroo dhalatu , sassaabbatanii manatti ol deebi’uu fi kkfn ni komatamu. Wanni akka walii galaatti hubachuu qaban, yoo xiqqaate yk yoo wal dhaggeeffetanii waliin dubbachuu toobbatan (waan aadaa Oromoo keessa hin jirreen) muuxannoo saboota biroo irraa fudhachuu isaan barbaachisa.

Dhaabbilee siyaasaa Oromoo keessatti rakkoon yoo umame, waan adda addaa nama mudachuun waan hin oolle. Garuu waan fedhe umame iyyuu, dhimma Ummata ofii dhiisanii manatti galanii taa’uun, tapha ijoollee ta’a. dhaaba keessaa dallansuu yk ariifannaa keessa waan murteeffatamuun ba’anis, dhimma Oromoo hojjachuuf miseensummaa qofaa gaafataa ? Oromoon tokko jennee dubbachaa humni fe’e ka’ee lakkii ani dhaaba biroon gaggeessuu barbaada yoo jedhe, ebaluun nama keenya jedhanii waliin didichuun maal fide ? har’a waan hundi dabree jira. Kaleessa waan yaannee dheessine har’a maaliin goolabame ? rakkoon Oromoo furameeraa ? siyaasa keessaa haa baanu, kan Biyyummaa itti ari’amne aadaa fi qooqa Oromoo yk kkf irratti hojjachuu maaltu nu dhawwa ? dhugumatti akka itti jirru fi baroota gabrummaan jiraanne jennee dubbannu gonkumaa wal hin gitu. Namuma kaleessa gabroomnee qabsoo gaggeessuu wallaallee fakkaanna malee, nama gabrummaan irratti saaree  muuxeffanne hin fakkaannu.

Sochiin Biyya alaa jabaachuu fi dhiisuun, suduudaan qabsoo Ummatichaa irraan miidhaa akka dhaqabsiisu hubachuun barbaachisaadha. qabsoon sabichaa Biyya alaa wayita unkuramu wayyaaneef gammachuudha.

Kanaaf waan nutti fakkaate wayita raawwannu, Ummata keenya irratti misimaara gadi rukutaa akka jirru beekuun dansaadha. Sochii hawaasa Oromoo Biyya alaa laafatuu irratti mee fakkeenya gabaabaa tokko haa kaasu. Baqattoonni Biyyoota gara garaa Ameerikaa Miyaapoliis keessa jiraatan keessaa baqattoonni somaaliyaa 1ffaa yennaa ta’an , baqattoonni Oromoo ammo 2ffaadha. Hawaasi achi jiru kun sochiin taasisaa turan Biyyoota hundaa fakkeenya turan. Har’a garuu …….. baqattoota Oromoo kuma 18 oltu jira. Kun hundi maqaa siyaasaan ba’e jechuu dandeenya.

Yaadaa fi adeemsi akkasii nu keessatti dagaagee odoo jiru, akkamiin qabsoon lafa irra harkifate jennee quba namatti qabna ?

Ilaalchuma Ummati 100/100 tti deeggaru illee yoo qabaanne, isaan alatti hundee Oromummaa qofaan waan waliin hojjannu waa danuutu jira yaa firaa . kanaaf qalbii keenya bal’ifannee kan walirraa dheessuu walitti deebi’ee bara 2014 tti , dhimma Ummata keenyaa Biyyaa dhumaa jiranii  irratti haa hojjannu.

Bedele Brewery cancels Teddy Afro’s “Journey of Love” Concert

Teddy Afro

Awramba Times (Addis Ababa) –  Confidential sources close to Awramba Times disclosed that Bedele brewery, Heineken NV’s subsidiary in Ethiopia has cancelled Teddy Afro’s nationwide “Journey of Love”  Concert.

Oromo Activists called on Bedele brewery to stop sponsoring Tewodros Kassahun’s nationwide tour that was scheduled across different cities of Ethiopia?

Two weeks ago, Ethiopian singer Tewodros Kassahun (aka Teddy Afro) told the local  Enqu magazine that he considered emperor Minelik’s imperial expansion a “holy war”.  This remark deeply offended thousands of Oromos as an ethnically-motivated “remark” against Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group.

Oromo activists all over the world had campaigned beer drinkers in Ethiopia to ditch Bedele products and also pressure regional officers to withdraw the sponsorship.

Toltu Tufa is OPride's Oromo Person of 2013

(OPride) – For revitalizing Oromo language learning, for revolutionizing Oromo storytelling and inspiring others to look within themselves for "bold new ways" of telling their story, for awakening the Oromo Diaspora to rally behind Afaan Publications, for being the Oromo story of 2013, Toltu Tufa is OPride's Oromo Person of the Year.

Toltu, 27, was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Growing up in a multicultural household, Tufa knew the name Oromo only as her father's native language.

Her father, Abdulwahab Tufa, is a community elder and educator. Among the first Oromos to resettle in Australia, Tufa arrived in Melbourne 30 years ago fleeing Ethiopia's communist dictatorship.

Shortly after, he married his beloved wife, Nuriye Tufa, who is of Turkish origin, in 1984. A father of five – four girls and one son – Tufa had one dream for his children: to connect them to his Oromo heritage.

With Toltu's groundbreaking Afaan Publications, Tufa has over delivered on that promise. In some ways, as Toltu noted in a recent Afaan campaign video, the exiled Tufa wanted to reconnect with his ancestral heritage through his children.

Recognizing that language is essential to that mission, Tufa decided to speak only in Afaan Oromo to his children. "My dad spoke to me in English for the first time when we went to Oromia in 1996," Toltu told OPride during a recent phone call. Toltu was then about 10 years old.

But Tufa also knew that speaking Oromo alone was not enough. For many years, he run a weekend community school where he taught Oromo and Arabic. Toltu, who at a very young age learned the importance of language – not least to better negotiate her multicultural background – is a graduate of his weekend community education classes.

Toltu attributes her passion to modernize Afaan Oromo learning and teaching to years of coaching by her father.

Afaan Oromo, one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa, was banned from official use in Ethiopia until 1991. While much has been done in the last two decades since it became the official language in Oromia, Ethiopia's populous region, challenges remain to standardize and integrate Afaan Oromo into the global community of languages.

Afaan Publications is the first innovative effort to ensure that the growing Oromo diaspora has relevant and easily accessible resources to pass on the Oromo language to younger generations.

Toltu first became aware of her Oromo identity in grade school. While in Grade 2, Toltu was asked to represent her culture at the school's multicultural celebrations. Dressed in an Oromo traditional outfit, she recalls carrying an Ethiopian flag across the stage. "I first became aware of the contention between Oromo identity and Ethiopianism when my photo from that event appeared at the local mosque," the impressionable Toltu recalled. "People started asking my father why he let me carry an Ethiopian flag...it was difficult to understand for me at the time."

Toltu has been integral part of Melbourne's vibrant Oromo community. Between 2006-2011 she  served as the President, Vice President, Treasurer for two consecutive terms. There she conducted outreach to local and federal officials and planned community events, including the landmark Oromia at Federation Square event.

She has also worked as a volunteer at the local Radio 3ZZZ Afaan Oromo program reading news and other programs focused on the youth.

Toltu has taught Oromo language and culture at her father's weekend school for several years. The idea for Afaan Publications grew out of her frustration with lack of relevant and interactive teaching materials at the school, according to Toltu. "I knew animal names and what to call a lot of other items in Oromo, but it's at times difficult to grasp the context," Toltu said about her early exposure to learning Oromo.

She is now working on remedying just that by producing context appropriate and innovative teaching materials. Toltu believes that children learn better by doing and seeing things than being simply told certain concepts.

Last month, Afaan raised more than $100,000 through online crowd-funding website, Pozible. She plans to announce ten global fundraising cities early in 2014. Toltu says, she is now in the process editing and revising some of the materials based on early feedback from the community. She hopes to deliver on her promise of reaching every Oromo household with her story books in the new year.

As charming as she is a confident, Toltu wears many hats comfortably. She is a community organizer, a fashion stylist, an advocate, and a doctoral student.

"I'd like to think of my story in a series of turning points," Toltu said when asked about her passion for activism. In an increasingly global world, events in far-flung places can dramatically alter a person's life, Toltu added.

For Toltu, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 in New York City was one such life changing event. "Shortly after 9/11, I got involved in Melbourne's Muslim community activities," Toltu told OPride. She worked with several local and federal government agencies giving seminars and workshops on cross cultural education.

Later she joined Center Against Sexual Assualt, a school-based program that works to raise awareness about sexual violence among teens and young adults. Within nine months, Toltu took the program from four schools to reach several schools across the country.

When she is not reading Psychology books, helping out at the Australian Oromo Community Association in Victoria events or campaigning for Afaan, Toltu does stints as a fashion stylist. She's been actively involved in her younger sister Zulfiye Tufa's design company. Known as the HijabStylist – an Oromo and Turkish fashion designer and instagrammer – Zulfiye is widely recognized in Melbourne for bribing a unique personal touch to Muslim fashion. Toltu has been part of a photo shoot as well as several events showcasing her sister's creative talents.

Toltu has been the face, voice, and moving force behind Afaan Publications in 2013. Her fairytale like story is in a way the Oromo story of 2013.

After years of paralysis, the Oromo seems to have finally begun to put its acts together. Its voices are still discordant. However, one thing is certain: the Oromo are on the move – left, right, and center.

Among the year's ground shaking events is the launching of the Oromo Democratic Front (ODF), the debut on Al Jazeera's The Stream show based on a pitch submitted by  OPride editor,  the Oromo First campaign and its community engagement efforts, Tesfaye Gebreab's authorship of Caaltu as Helen, and most recently the #BoycottBedele campaign. As with the Afaan Publications debut, these and several landmark events captured the Oromo imagination in 2013 and kept the social media community buzzing.

However, the year was not without its challenges, either. The persecution of the Oromo both at home and in exile, especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia where migrants saw all manners of abuse, has not abated. However, when the pluses and minuses are tallied, 2014 promises to be a turning point.

Congratulations to Toltu Tufa for being OPride's Oromo Person of 2013.

Thank you for your continued readership and support. Happy New Year!
