Unity of Oromo Struggle is a Priority

The Oromo want dignity, self-expression, and self-governance

The Oromo want their voices to be heard.

The Oromo want sovereignty

They want to live together at peace with their neighbors, who themselves also live in freedom exercising their own sovereignty

                         *Bonnie Holcomb 

 By Ibsaa Guutama* | October 2012

Oromo activists,when for the first time came out organized, they raised the question which the Oromo people were grumbling about since occupation. If it was asked why the Oromoo people were grumbling, the answer is that they wanted to get back independence and freedom they lost to colonizers. The above lines from Bonnie Holcomb’s OSA keynote speech are taken from what she listed on what the Oromo wanted. It is now about half a century since OLF raised this question. Oromo was a great nation, intelligent, adaptable to any situation, productive, fertile mind, courageous and without defects in all aspects. Their enemies are using Oromo since, by historical accident, they occupied Oromiyaa, as a machine for production, transport, building, communication and killings, freely or with cheap payment To maintain the status quo, they do not want them to develop consciousness and are doing all they can to erase traces of Oromummaa  (being Oromo) left in them and pulverize their morale. They are not aiming at wiping out Oromo, their milk cows,but at blunting Oromummaa. That was impossible without committing genocide in the process. The Oromo had become aware of it and that, unless they claim back their identity, they cannot continue to survive as a nation and as human beings. That was how they started the struggle for independence. No one could stand against them if only they can mobilize their potential capabilities.

Saudi embassy linked with terrorist funding in Ethiopia

 Addis Ababa, October 29, 2012/Aman Sethi/:The Hindu

 Wife of ex-Minister charged with funnelling money

The wife of a senior Ethiopian politician was on Monday charged with funnelling money from the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to Islamist terror groups, at a hearing at the Ethiopian Federal High Court, on Monday.

Habiba Mohammed, wife of former Minister for the Civil Service Junedin Sado, was one of 29 Muslim activists accused of criminal conspiracy to commit unspecified acts of terrorism — charges that could attract the death penalty.

Those arrested were accused of belonging to, or supporting, the “Solution Seekers of the Muslim Community’s Problems”, a group that the prosecution contended is a terrorist organisation. Lawyers for the accused denied the charges.

The Sleeping Giant is Awake; Do You Know What is Missing?

October 29, 2012 (Ayyaantuu.com) 

This is to sincerely and honestly beg the children of Oromo to focus on the big picture. We have many capable and influential Oromos and stop undermining and disrespecting one another. I don’t blame some Oromos because they have succumbed to slavery and they always think that the Abyssinians are superior to them.

The most powerful force is overcoming inferiority. Don’t you recognize that God created you as a complete human being? Strengthen Oromummaa, listen to one another, create Organizational Structures in all Oromo Communities world-wide according to the following General Management Principles and guidelines:

Ethiopia charges 29 Muslims under anti-terror law

AFP | 10.29.2012

ADDIS ABABA — Twenty-nine Ethiopian Muslims were charged Monday with plotting acts of “terrorism”, the majority arrested after protests accusing the government of interference in religious affairs.

According to court documents, the group is accused of “intending to advance a political, religious or ideological cause” by force and the “planning, preparation, conspiracy, incitement and attempt of terrorist acts.”

The 29 accused — including nine prominent Muslim leaders — were jailed following protests in July staged by Muslims against the government.

War on Religions or War on Oromos? – Oromo Community Leader Asks

The following is a statement from Aaddee Aisha Ali, president of the Australian Oromo Community Association in Victoria (AOCAV). Aaddee Aisha Ali’s statement comes after a series of Ethiopian government aggression on religions in Oromiyaa: namely, the April 27 Assasa Massacre, the September 30 Hora Harsadi Mass Arrests and the October 21 Garba Massacre. The government’s aggression has especially highlighted since the ascent of Bereket Simon and Sebhat Nega to the highest office in the land as the Custodians of the Ethiopian empire-state.

 Aisha Ali (AOCAV President): October 27, 2012 

War on religions or War on Oromos ?

Is this the Ethiopian government’s best response to an age old problem, or is it the ultimate formula needed by Diaspora Oromo communities to create a new political playing field?

Ethiopia’s Muslims accuse government of religious meddling

Jenny Vaughan (AFP)|FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2012
Addis Ababa with hands clasped together as a symbol of unity, lines of Muslims gather under the beating sun outside Addis Ababa’s Anwar mosque after Friday prayers chanting “Amin, Amin,” or “thanks to God.”

They gather – as they have all this year – to protest what they call unconstitutional government interference in religious affairs, heightened by the election of Muslim leaders this month the protesters say were not free or fair.

“We have requested an election, a peaceful one, a democratic one, and we didn’t get (it),” said Zeinu Lopiso, 26, a merchant near Anwar mosque, speaking at a recent demonstration where hundreds took part.

Adopted Teen from Ethiopia was abused, tortured before her death

By Elisa Jaffe & KUMO staff /October 24/2012/

(KUMO):OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Documents released Wednesday to KOMO News from Child Protective Services paint a disturbing picture of torture and starvation that led to the death of a 13-year-old girl.

Hana Williams came to the U.S. from Ethiopia with parasites and ringworm, but that's not what killed the young teen. Skagit County authorities say Hana was constantly denied food, locked in a dark closet for days, and forced to sleep in a barn. Police say Hana was left out in her backyard barely clothed on a cold, rainy May night just hours before dying in a hospital.

Ethiopian Government’s Case against Muslim Leaders Collapses, Exposing Rifts within the System

October 25/2012(The Gulele Post): The show trail of the leaders of the Ethiopian Muslim Movement, formally known as the Arbitration Committee, seem to have come to a dramatic end. The leaders were arrested during the regime’s heavy crackdown on the Muslim protest in Mid-July.That is they have been kept in jail without charge for over three months now. They appeared at court multiple times but the prosecution kept dragging its feet, asking the court  for extension. Two weeks ago, the judge apparently had it enough and warned the prosecution either to charge the accused or drop its case.

Ethiopian transition proceeding smoothly - except for one thing

Meles Zenawi's widow, powerful in her own right, is refusing to move from the national palace, say government sources

Simon Allison for Daily Maverick, part of the Guardian Africa Network guardian.co.uk, Thu 25 Oct 2012 

Simon Allison| The Guardian | 25 October 2012: It is has been a little more than two months since the death of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Since then, the country that he ruled over for 21 years has effected a remarkably smooth transition. His deputy, Hailemariam Desalegn, has taken over as both party leader and prime minister. There have been no major reshuffles. Policy changes, where they have happened, have been encouraging. Any threats to Desalegn's succession were muted and, evidently, unsuccessful. Even the country's restive Muslim population has been quiet, waiting to see what the new leadership is all about before pressing on with their campaign for a greater say in the country's (and their own) affairs.
