Saving Oromia from the TPLF Gluttons

By HGoche | April 6, 2014

There are many Oromo Scholars, past and present who advocated the urgency of coordinating our multi-faceted struggle for liberation of Oromia before the TPLF gluttons consume Oromia’s resources. By resources, I mean Oromia’s natural and human resources.

TPLF is doing what is humanly possible to win the next election to continue pillaging what is left of Oromia and selling what they cannot gluttonize to anyone who can pay them the highest bid to fatten their overseas bank account, because deep-down TPLF leaders know very well their days in Oromia and the South will end one day. That day depends on how, we, the Oromos will over-come our petty differences and mobilize as one people. The TPLF gluttons also know that they can continue their destruction of Oromia as long they can disfranchise the Oromo Liberation movements Organization’s, as they did for the last twenty odd years, and it is up to each and every one of us to arrest their evil agendas and save our nation, Oromia.

Had the TPLFities cared about the democratization of the empire, they should not have aborted the 1991 genuine attempt made to democratize the empire by the Oromos, the Sidamas, and the Walaitas, the Somalis, the Afar and many others.

IF the TPLF gluttons and gangs may expect us not to see and hear, or we will forgive them the glaring environmental and human genocide they are committing against the Oromos and the Southern Nations since 1991, we tell and remind them they are dead wrong. The TPLF gang has been committing extra-judicial killings, torturing, displacing Oromo farmers from their ancestral land at will and selling their land to the highest bidder , expelling Oromo students from Universities and Colleges for only being Oromo, and throwing over 40,000 innocent Oromos in its torture chambers cannot expect us to forget or forgive these grave human and environmental violations. While terrorising Oromos and the Southern Nations in their own back-yard, the TPLF juntas attempt to label us terrorist for demanding our All Almighty given rights is like vomiting on us and insulting our intelligence. Remember, these shameless and immoral bunches are vomiting their venom on our face by invading our own hamlet, villages and towns.

Why and How TPLF aborted the 1991 genuine attempt to change the empire for good?

Being given the green light by the West and by the reckless OLF representatives at the London Conference of 1991, and the huge military support of the Eritreans, the uncivilized and savage TPLF army moved into the heart of Oromia with Oromo Prisoners of Wars POWs), whom they later named OPDOs. After conquering Finfine and realizing there was no meaningful force that can challenge them apart from the OLF, the TPLF leaders started conspiring on how to wipe-out the OLF so that they can gluttonise Oromia’s resources unchallenged. With the help of POW’s and the enemy within, TPLFities achieved their first stage of conspiracy of wiping out OLF by encamping OLF soldiers. Once they achieved their goal of encamping the armed OLF soldiers with much pressure from EPLF and the so-called OLF representatives, they started terrorizing the Oromo mass and detaining them in harsh prison camps, where many innocent Oromos perished due to exposure to tropical diseases such as malaria and the in-humane treatments at the hands of savage TPLF and Eritrean soldiers. There is no actual figure on how many innocent Oromos had perished in TPLF’s torture camps, but according to some estimates, the figure is in the hundreds of thousands.

WHY Abyssinian Political Culture is NOT compatible with Democracy and the Rule of Law

1) It is not hard to understand why Abyssinians political culture is not compatible with democracy and the rule of law, we do not need to go far to but refer to the history written by Abyssinians church historians. According to these historians King Tewodros assumed the Abyssinian throne by killing and committing genocide on all his rival kings. King Yohannes of Tigre did the same thing to claim Kings of Kings title. Here we should note that both Tewodros and Yohannes committed genocide on Oromos who did not want accept the Orthodox Christianity at the time. King Minilk waged a bitter war on his opponents before he declared himself as King of Kings of Abyssinia. The cutting of Women’s breast and the men’s hands at the battle of Calanqo and Anole during the imperial expansion of Abyssinia to Oromia and the South by Minilk and its foot-soldiers clearly demonstrate how savage, backward and evil Abyssinian political culture and mind-set was.

King of Kings Haile Selassie came to power by disposing Lij Eyasy and his mother, who were in-line to assume power after the death of Minilk II. After the defeat of the Italian Colonial army by local fighters with the help of Western powers (Britain, the USA), Haile Selassie, who returned to his throne by the help of the Western powers jailed and killed all local heroes he thought could be a threat to his power.

Haile Selassie not only destroyed those who fought Italian colonization while he fled to exile, he incorporated the Italian Somaliland, currently known as the Ogaden and Eritrea. After the UN, the USA and the UK agreed to support the cession to Ethiopian Empire of the Italian Somaliland and Eritrea in 1952. In the case of Eritrea, the UN in its September, 1952 passed a resolution called for Eritrea and Ethiopia to be linked through a loose federal structure under the sovereignty of the Emperor against the will of the Eritrean people’s wish for independence. Eritrea was to have its own administrative and judicial structure, its own flag, and control over its domestic affairs, including police, local administration, and taxation, while the Ethiopian Empire was to have a control over foreign affairs, defence, finance and transportation. As a result of a long history of rule under the Italian and British colonizers, and the introduction of modern democracy into Eritrea by the British before their departure in 1952, gave Eritreans a desire for political freedoms which is alien to Ethiopian political tradition. Due to the incompatibility and the absence of democratic political culture in Abyssinia, Shortly after ratifying and accepting Eritrean federal status, Haile selassie started violating the UN approved agreement, and finally pressured Eritrean Assembly to abolish the federation and join the Ethiopian Empire. The violation of the UN agreed Federation of Eritrea to Ethiopia, and its subsequent abolishment by Haile Selassie gave birth to different Eritrean Liberation Organizations. Both Haile Selassie and the Military Junta after him, never understood or own the intellectual, cultural capacity to comprehend the Eritrean People’s demand for freedom and independence. They even have not attempted it to restore the federal structure, under which Eritrea was linked to the Ethiopian Empire by UN. We all know the consequences of the Eritrean war of independence, where Abyssinians forcefully conscripted thousands of young Oromos from schools and market places to fight and die in the hills and valleys of Eritrea. Only History will tell how many innocent Oromos fought and died in Eritrea for an evil empire Ethiopia.

Abyssinian Political Prostitution and the Ethiopian Empire State

Despite all the evidences showing Abyssinians psychological make-up is not compatible with democracy and the rule of law, there are some Oromos who advocate salvaging the dying empire in the name of democratization of the empire. Nowhere in human history, where an empire is democratized but, instead, empires were dismantled by sheer force and her subjects freed. In the case of Ethiopian Empire, many gallant and brilliant Oromos such as Tadese Biru, Mamo Mezemer, Senay Leke, Haile Fida were sent to the gallows for only demanding let Ethiopian Empire represent the whole of nations and nationalities within her border. Abyssinians top-down and authoritarian system of governance, where words and decrees uttered by the Prime Minster, King, President ( whatever title past and present Abyssinian rulers had) , was equated with words given by the all Almighty God, and violating or breaking them was like breaking the words of the all Almighty God. Those who tried to break these authoritarian systems were sent to the gallows.

All Abyssinian rulers, past and present are clever in embracing any dominant political ideology of the day to maintain the status quo of the empire’s grip on their subjects nations such as the Oromos, the Sidamas, the Walitas, the Somalis, the Afars and others, so that they can kill, harass, humiliate, exploit these subjects nations at will. After the brief occupation of the empire during the Second World War by the Italians, the subjects’ people of the South were allowed to use their language and culture, but this freedom was short lived. Immediately after King Haile Selassie was restored onto power, he banned the limited freedom these subjects’ nations have enjoyed under the Italian occupation. Despite Abyssinian way of governance is alien to any world political system, they are very canny to embrace and pay lip-service to any given world political system of the day to hide the injustices and colonization they commit on the colonized nations of the Oromo, the Somali, the Sidama, the Walaita, etc.

For example, King Haile Selassie embraced parliamentary democracy to gain political and diplomatic support from the West, despite his reign was backward authoritarian Feudal system. By embracing fake parliamentary democracy, Haile Selassie not only managed to hold his grip on the South, but, also given Eritrea and Italian Somaliland by the West.

The military Junta of Mengistu jumped on the band-wagon of International Socialism and maimed millions and fought un-just wars in Eritrea and the South in the name of defending the mother land. The current TPLF gang, once rested power from the Amhara ruling class, abandoned its Communist ideology and embraced the name democracy, and continued the Abyssinian tradition of killing, torturing, and gluttonise the resources of the South at its will.

There was no democratic culture in the history of the Abyssinians, and there shall never be any in the future, and attempting or even thinking the democratization of the Ethiopian Empire with Abyssinians is like expecting a dove from the eggs of the snake.

IN PICTURES: The Unveiling of the Aannolee Oromo Martyrs’ Memorial Monument in Hetosa, Oromiyaa

The Aannolee Oromo Martyrs’ Memorial Monument was unveiled in Hetosa, Arsi, Oromiyaa, on April 6, 2014 – also inaugurated was the Aannolee Cultural/Historical Museum. The Monument commemorates the Oromo martyrs whose limbs and breasts were cut off atrociously by the invading Abyssinian/Shoan Amhara army of Menelik II in 1886. Known as the harmaf harka muraa Aannolee, the Menelik’s Abyssinian/Shoan Amhara army mutilated an unknown number of Oromo men’s right hands and Oromo women’s breasts for resisting Abyssinia’s conquest of the Oromo land.

According to the recently published book by Prof. Abbas H. Gnamo, “Conquest and Resistance in the Ethiopian Empire, 1880-1974 – The Case of the Arsi Oromo,” the Aannolee Oromo Martyrdom has “become the symbol of Oromo resistance.”

Prof. Gnamo continues:

“Of all the brutalities committed by the Shoan army and its leaders against the Oromo, the worst was the Anole mutilation known as harmaf harka muraa Anole (the mutilation of hands and breasts at Anole) – a tragedy on which Ethiopian sources are silent …

… Anole is located about 25km north of Asella, an area where most battles took place and where the Arsi inflicted heavy losses on the Shoan army. Anole seemed to have been chosen to avenge Shoan losses and to teach a lesson to the Arsi who still resisted after their shattering defeat at Azule on September 6, 1886. Arsi strong men and women were assembled under the pretext of concluding peace. All the men and women present, whose exact number was unknown perhaps more than thousand people, were mutilated; their right hands and right breasts were cut off. As a further form of humiliation, fear and terror, the mutilated breasts and hands were tied around the necks of the victims who were then sent back home.”

OSA President’s Thank-You Note to OSA Members and Supporters on the Success of the 2014 Mid-Year Conference

Dear OSA members and supporters,

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I just wanted to say thank you to all who came to attend the OSA Mid-Year Conference or presented an article.

We had several outstanding scholars who presented novel and interesting studies, and an amazing enthusiasm created by it. This year’s OSA Mid-year has its own legacies, creating opportunities for the Oromo people and elites to learn Oromo history from the heroes and heroines of the Dhombir war era, helping Oromo communities of Mid-West USA to forge unity by establishing a network of Oromo community organizations; live-streaming some of the panel discussions for the Oromo people to follow the deliberations on these important topics as the events unfold. The participation in OSA Mid-Year conference by the Oromo community of Chicago is unparalleled given the small size of the community. The discussions were civil, lunch was served free sponsored by Gilead Chicago office and the Oromo community of Chicago.

There was an overwhelming feeling of “What a wonderful conference!” What a wonderful round table by heroes and heroines of the Dhombir war! What an amazing story told by Akko Makkaa – widow of the late Colonel Adam Jilo! What an amazing story telling by Hajji Umar Malka of Radio Mogdisho! .. The keynote speakers created great enthusiasm as anticipated and helped to increase our conference attendance. Drs. Beyene Petros and Marara Gudina’s presence at our conference was also a good opportunity for the attendees to ask questions and voice their concern during and after the conference.

Special thank you for OSA Board members Aad. Bonnie, Dr. Guluma and Aad. Arfasse; and Dr. Ezekiel, Dr, Mesfin, Aad. Yeshi Tolesa and Ob. Kadiro for coming and participating and contributing. I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to the Oromo community of Chicago and the youth for the participation and for working so hard, for the Sunday lunch and dinner and the volunteers who organized the conference with us. Special thank you to Weiss Memorial Hospital for allowing us to use the Leo Wallach auditorium and a second conference room, and parking service free of charge. It is my home campus and I am proud of Weiss Hospital for its service for our community. Weiss is the best!. I believe, OMN had a good opportunity to use the second conference room to interview some of the conference participants, distinguished OSA panelists and keynote speakers. OMN’s coverage of the event would provide another opportunity to disseminate knowledge and information generated by our conference. Thank you gadaa.com, ayyaantuu.com, oromowiki.com and other websites for providing coverage. Thank you Ferhan Abdulselam of oromp3.com for being a resource person.

Finally, preparation is underway for our annual conference to be held in Washington DC Metro area! We will promote the Oromo Gada system and Oromo democracy, celebrate 40 years of research by esteemed scholars and Oromo renaissance. I look forward to a robust partnership with Oromo community organizations and individuals as we work to make this forthcoming annual conference one of the most memorable in the history of our association. We are planning to bring Oromo Gada councilors to USA. Your help is needed! Last but not least, OSA is in the process of creating a mailing list through its new website. I would like to invite all Oromos who would like to be informed about OSA’s activities and that of its members to become members of the forum which is available on OSA’s website home page. Please, go to OromoStudies.org and create an account and be a member, there you will find newest information from OSA. You can also post news and info for forum members. We did it together!

Thank you. Galatooma.

Who are the Garri and Gabra Oromos?

Abishe Gerba April 4, 2014

Following the unfortunate clash between two Oromo tribes, last week I wrote a short note about the evil strategy of TPLF to spark conflict within Oromo nation to keep the entire southern Oromia in a constant state of turmoil in a bid to counter OLF insurgency. Thanks to Oromo elders, the Guji-Borana conflict is over and solution on the Negelle Borana town’s name case is pending. Perhaps, as we have heard, the name Negelle Borana is restored and those responsible for removing the word ‘Borana’ would be brought to justice.

Now, after reading more on the issue, I have realized that the matter is much complicated. Nevertheless, one important fact remains. The centre of TPLF’s strategy is to make the Oromo nation busy by dividing and exploiting the nation thereby obscuring the fundamental questions of Oromos and the struggle of OLF. The Guji and Borana Oromos are the victims of a strategy to force them to dwindle their support to OLF.

There are two Oromo tribes I have come to know closer- the Garri Oromo and the Gabra Oromo. Let me tell you a bit about them.

The Garri, as they call themselves in Oromo language and Ghari, as they call themselves in Somali language live in Oromia, Somale region, somalia and Kenya. They occupy border regions of these countries and states. So they don’t have common language. Most speak Afaan Oromo and some use Somali. Both in Oromia and Somalia regions, it appears have been asking for self-rule and they have been denied both Oromia and Somali region. 

Garri people are believed to be very close to Borana. In fact, they share about everything except those in Somali only know Somali language. Yet the Garri have not been easy with the Boranas on land, pasture and water issues. Borana Oromos believe the land Garri occupy is theirs while Garri have even developed their own map to create Garri Republic. Garris even do have liberation militia that is believed to be supported by the Liyu Police of Somali region and TPLF that clearly shows Wayane cares less for sustainable peace and stability. Garris are almost entirely Muslim. The Gabra Oromos are very similar to Guji or Borana Oromos. They have same language, same way of life, same culture and understanding of their environment. Gabra Oromos have almost the same problem as Garri. Gabra Oromos have been asking for their own Wereda or zone but have been denied. That has made them insecure about the geography they occupy as the Borana Oromos claim it.

Most Oromos in central, eastern and western Oromia have probably never heard Gabra or Garri Oromos. First time I heard about Gabra Oromo was when Abbush Zalaqqaa released a single Heellemmaa. Garri is even newer to me.

From online resources I have read and videos I have watched, almost no work have been done to create the spirit of Oromummaa in this two Oromo communities. Some Garri and Gabra don’t even know they are Oromos. In fact, the Garri know more about the mythical Abyssinia than Oromummaa.

Borana, alongside Barentuma, is the father of every Oromo. That is what I believe as an Oromo and genealogy proves it. However this does not go easy with other Oromo tribes of the region. The exclusive emphasis and reference made to the Borana Oromos as the sources of Oromummaa and the center of Oromo wisdom has made other Oromos in the region feel neglected and ignored.

So we know TPLF is arming the likes of Garri militia to deploy them against OLF insurgency or just to keep the conflict going. It is igniting conflict between brothers on minor issues such as names of locations. It is the source of all conflicts in that region. To make the situation worst, OPDO the puppet organization have almost forgotten about the Garri and Gabra.

Solutions on the entire issue of self-admjnistration should be analysed closer. Oromos in diaspora should know better about the Garris and Gabras just like any other Oromo tribe.

Terrorising the Sidama Nation By Federal And Regional TPLF Agents Intensifies.

On April 3^rd, 2014, the regime in power newly began targeting Sidama nation and its students who have demanded their constitutional rights to be unconditionally implemented in their region. In Yesterday’s particular demonstration, the Sidama students have asked one of their long overdue demands for their language to be used in their high schools and primary secondary schools in and around Hawassa. In their claims in which the core quest remain demanding the regime to answer Sidama nation’s regional quest to self-administration. They’ve also emphasised that the names written in Amharic in their Schools to be replaced with their Sidaamu affo.  

Following their yesterday’s demands, at least two hundred Sidama students were arrested and remain in jails; unknown numbers were brutally beaten by regime’s federal vicious forces where severe injuries causing various degrees of fractures have been involved. Whilst some were beaten and wounded, one particular student has been shot dead whose body was taken away by the federal forces and its whereabouts remains.  

Meanwhile, the regime’s regional and federal cadres and Federal security forces continued their systematic terror of Sidama people in general, Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM) leadership and members in particular. As a part of their undemocratic and unlawful campaign against Sidama nation and its only political party, SLM, they have arrested two sons of one of the SLM leaderships’ who is staunch advocate of Sidama national rights and overt critical of the undemocratic and authoritarian nature of TPLF/EPRDF led regime. Therefore, it seems that the regime’s cadres target his children with aim of intimidating and silencing him. However, after 24 hours in jail, both son of SLM leadership were released after some rumours that an unknown groups of Sidama right defenders threatened to retaliate if they weren’t released.

In another development, SLM members who have attended the March 29^th 2014 SLM/Medrek conference in Hawassa are also being targeted in various districts of the Sidama region- most of whom are said to be arrested. The latest report from SLM’s office suggest that its at least 45 members were detained throughout the region and others were psychologically terrorised with regime’s agents. The entire leadership of SLM are being shadowed by the regime’s security agents 24/7 in entire region.  

The recent development suggest that the regime in power is in a state of complete chaos, therefore, doesn’t know how to handle the situation unfolding in all regions  which is becoming out of control. For instance, the grievances in entire regions of the Empire are growing to the extent where peoples’ are expressing their frustrations by stating the fact that life under such circumstances isn’t worth living; therefore majority feel compelled that the only way forward is devising an alternative way of defending own rights. This is palpable in all regions from south to west, east to north.   

This is the case in Oromia where the regime is displacing legitimate owners of land from Finfiinee and others areas of region’s vast land, in Ogaden Somali where genocide is taking place, in Amhara region where people are seriously concerned with border with Sudan therefore telling they had enough of brutality of the current regime, in Tigray itself where people are expressing their utter dismay for the fact that the regime’s apparatuses are abusing others Ethiopian peoples by their names whilst brutalising Tigreans, Gambela where the regime uprooted tens of thousands of civilian to sale their ancestral lands to transnational companies; in the entire south where 56 nations and nationalities are involuntarily kept under the prison known as southern nations and nationalities regional state where brutality is being openly exercised in various forms and shapes, in Benshangul where their lands are being given to international traders those who are destroying nature and natural environments and more others.

These all trends show how the regime in power is at the verge of final destruction. Weapon can intimidated peoples to a degree where reasonably able to silence all; however when majority had enough, all will be meaningless. The main issue here is that there must be utmost care so that its’ demise doesn’t cause major problem for nations and nationalities of the empire. The authorities of the current regime have built their personal empires with the bloods and sufferings of majorities of various regions of country for the past 22 years. If the right time comes (which is inevitably nearing), however, their personal wealth can be out of order within a day- if they don’t listen to the ongoing outcries of the peoples of all regions. The Sidama nation’s ongoing suffering therefore is beyond comprehension and part of the whole saga.  

Therefore, the federal regime’s Sidama terrorising agents must unconditionally leave Sidama region and Sidama students who are unlawfully arrested on April 03, 2014 for claiming their constitutional rights must be automatically released. Those who have killed one of the Sidama students and hid his body must return back his body to his family to be properly mourned and buried; those who have killed him must be brought to justice. The Sidama regional quest and ongoing Hawassa discontent must be unconditionally addressed and others regional issues must be dealt by the legitimate owners, the Sidamas!

Akka qaama Oromoo fii Oromiyaatti dhimmi uummata giddu galeessaa kanaa Oromoota naannoo biroo biratti fudhatama hin arganne taanaan, faayidaan waliin jiraachuu maalinni?

Uummatni kun osoo rakkoo irra jiruu lafa isaa kan saamaa jiru habashoota ykn mootummaa qofa miti. Oromoonni naannawaa biroo illee lafa uummata kanaaa saamaa jiru. Kanaaf uummatni kun fedhii mataa isaatii hin qabu kan jiraachuu qabu faayidaa namoota birootiifi moo maal jechaa dha?

Waggaa 100 oliif sabni kun ba’aa nafxanyootaa baatee jira. Ammas rakkoo bara minilikii caaluun saaxilame malee waanti bu’eef hin jiru. Adeemsa kanaan gara fuulduraattis yoo Oromoon akka waliigalaatti mirga isaa gonfate iyyuu uummatni giddu galeessaa kanaatiif waanti bu’u akka hin jirre muuxxannoo argame waan tokko nutti agarsiisaa jir!

Giddu galli Oromoo fii Oromiyaa osoo horfamaa jiruu fi qaamni afuura baafatu bakk hin jirretti bilisummaa Oromoo fi mirga Oromoof qabsoofana jechaa of gowwomsuu Oromo saamsisuufi meeshaa alagaa ta’uu otoo dhiifnee gaarii natti fakkaata.
