Ethiopia: fire destroys UNESCO-registered coffee forest
April 30, 2013 | OPride
A recent massive brush fire in the Illu Abba Boora zone of Oromia region, Ethiopia has wiped out a sizable portion of the UNESCO-registered Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve, reports said. The cause of the blaze, which has spread around the Yayu forest over the last several weeks, remains unknown.
According to eyewitness accounts, the blaze has scorched an estimated 50 to 80 acres of the thick coffee forest. “Such fire has never happened before in the history of the Yayu forest and the knowledge of the people living in the area,” one Yayu resident, who asked not to be named, told OPride. “It has been burning for several weeks without any intervention from the government except that of the local community to contain it to protect its advancement to their side.” The internationally recognized Yayu forest is home to the last remaining species of wild coffee Arabica and some of Ethiopia’s rare flora and bird species.

Injustice in Oromia-Ethiopia Follows Oromo Exiles in Oslo, Norway
April 29, 2013 | Oromo Press
A historically pro-Oromo refugees Norway has been evolving into an unfavorable place for Oromo refugees and refugees from the Horn of Africa in recent years. Abandoning its own humanitarian streak, the Norwegian government has drifted too far in the direction of questionable tolerance and support for the regime in Finfinne (Addis Ababa), which stands accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in regions such as Oromia, Ogaden and Gambella, among other places. "Genocide Watch considers Ethiopia to have already reached Stage [of genocide], genocidal massacres, against many of its peoples, including the Anuak, Ogadeni, Oromo, and Omo tribes."

What’s being done about Ethiopian dam’s harmful effects on Kenya?
April 27, 2013 | Nation
In Summary:
In Summary:
Having come to power committed to peasant farmer-based democratic political economy, Ethiopia has become one of the African countries with the most extensive large-scale allocations of land to external developers leaving uncertain the status, circumstances, and prospects of many communities of small producers with strong ancestral ties to portions of those lands, communities in which land tenure insecurity may have been markedly insecure already.Where do things stand with respect to Ethiopia’s partially built Gibe III dam on the Omo River?
More than 30,000 refugees and migrants most of them are Ethiopian nationals make risky sea crossing to Yemen this year
April 27, 2013 | UNHCR
GENEVA, April 26 (UNHCR) – The UN refugee agency announced on Friday that its staff in Yemen have recorded the arrival by sea from the Horn of Africa of more than 30,000 refugees and migrants since the start of the year. This compares to 33,634 arrivals over the same time period in 2012.
UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards told journalists in Geneva that most of this year's arrivals were Ethiopian nationals, with the rest coming from Somalia and a very small number from other African countries. "In total, and since 2006 when UNHCR began gathering data, close to half a million people (477,000) have arrived in Yemen by taking the perilous boat journey from the Horn of Africa," he noted.

Concern about two journalist held since June 2011 for “terrorism”
April 26, 2013 | Reporters Without Boarders
Reporters Without Borders is very worried about two journalists, Woubeshet Taye and Reyot Alemu, who have been detained since June 2011 and were given long jail sentences more than a year ago on terrorism charges.
Taye, who was the deputy editor of the Amharic-language weekly Awramba Times, was transferred on 19 April to a detention centre in Ziway, 130 km southeast of the capital, Addis Ababa. Alemu, a columnist for the national weekly Fitih and recent winner of an international media freedom prize, is in very poor health.

New York - Ethiopia on Thursday denied that it was “shirking responsibility” by beginning to withdraw its troops from conflict-stricken Somalia.

The Ethiopian Muslim civil rights movement: implications for democracy
April 25, 2013 | Open democracy
By Alemu Tafesse*
In a country where NGO’s have been severely crippled, press freedom is dying out, religious institutions are tightly controlled, and professional associations effectively co-opted - in short, where civil society is in grave danger of extinction - there has been one arena of visible democracy, that of the protesting Muslims.
_________________________________________________________________________________
The fifteen-month old Muslim civil rights movement in Ethiopia has so far had some spectacular implications for the development of democracy and democratic political culture in the country. It has affected its culture as well as its institutional dynamics. I will examine three very inter-related, but broad, ways in which Muslim activism has impacted on the contours of the current and future democratic possibilities of Ethiopia.

Kenya Will Be Harmed By Ethiopia's Gibe III Dam

Three months ago in this column, I warned that the completion of Ethiopia's Gibe III dam on the Omo River could transform Lake Turkana, the world's only desert lake, into Africa's Aral Sea. Impassioned by China-style great leap forward philosophy, the Ethiopian government has pursued the development of the Gibe III dam in total disregard to the consequence associated with it.

Ethiopia says preparing to pull troops out of Somalia
April 23, 2013
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia will withdraw its troops from Somalia soon, its prime minister said on Tuesday, voicing frustration with the Mogadishu government and African Union peacekeeping forces that are also battling Islamist militants there.
After waging an ill-fated war in Somalia in 2006-2009, Ethiopia in 2011 once again rolled troops into Somalia to fight al Qaeda-allied al Shabaab, opening a third front alongside Kenyan troops and an African Union mission.

NAIROBI (AlertNet) – Half a million Kenyans and Ethiopians are likely to be displaced, go hungry and face conflict due to a controversial dam linked to a forcible resettlement programme 'bankrolled' by British taxpayers, the lobby group Survival International said on Monday.
The Gibe III hydropower dam, due for completion in 2014, is being built on the Omo River in southern Ethiopia. It will reduce the flow of water to farmers and pastoralists living downstream, including those 600 kilometres to the south in Kenya, where the river flows into Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake.

Who Ought To Celebrate Oromo Martyrs Day?
April 15, 2013 | By Nemera Mamo
Like many nations in the world the Oromo has lost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of martyrs who suffered death as the penalty for refusing to accept principles and values which is not theirs. According to Prof Mohammed Hassen (1990), for centuries the Oromo lived as a free, powerful independent nation in the Horn of Africa; they had their own political and religious institutions, which flowered in patterns of their own making and nourished their spiritual and material well being. However, as our humble Prof mentioned, the Oromo nation lost its sovereignty, freedom and independence after Menilek, the Amhara King of Shawa (1865-1889) and the Emperor of Ethiopia (1889-1913) conquered and colonized Oromia. Since then Oromo refused to renounce their own culture, values and democratic principles enshrined in their Gadaa system.

April 15: Oromo Martrys’ Day – The National Memorial Day
April 15th is the Oromo Martyrs’ Day, also known as Guyyaa Gootota Oromoo. This commemorative day was first started by the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) after the executions of its prominent leaders on a diplomatic mission en routed to Somalia on April 15, 1980. Since then, this day has been observed as the Oromo Martyrs’ Day by Oromo nationals around the world to honor those who have sacrificed their lives to free Oromia, and to renew a commitment to the cause for which they have died.

The birth of Oromo Democratic Front (ODF), a new Oromo political party,last month has stirred so much controversy among Oromo and Ethiopian blogosphere.
While the announcement received mixed reviews from Oromo nationalists, the reception from Ethiopianist groups has largely been positive. But there were also those who jumped on the opportunity to attack and delegitimize the Oromo struggle.

Migrant voices - Ethiopians in Yemen describe kidnapping and torture
April 11, 2013 | IRIN
Record numbers of migrants from the Horn of Africa are crossing into Yemen, most of them on their way to find better opportunities in Saudi Arabia and other rich Gulf countries. But many do not make it any further. Seeking a new life, they end up unwitting victims of a smuggling racket designed to exploit the migrants at each juncture of their journey.
Recent years have seen Ethiopians make up the majority of these migrants: Of the 107,000 recorded migrants crossing the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden into Yemen in 2012, around 80,000 were from Ethiopia.

The ODF: A New Vision or Trust Betrayed for Oromos

It goes by the name of Oromo Democratic Front, arriving, as it did with less roar than whimper, but certainly causing deep emotions among those of us in the Diaspora.

Ethiopian orphanage used ‘child harvesters’ to find children

DanAdopt’s closed orphanage used an intermediary to convince families to put their children up for adoption
Adoptions from the the Enat Alem orphanage in Ethiopia were recently halted by the social and integration minister, Karen Hækkerup (Socialdemokraterne), based on reports of children being deprived of food, basic care and medical treatment at the facility. Now new reports have surfaced that the home used ‘child harvesters’ to lure local families into putting their children up for adoption at Enat Alem in violation of the Hague Conventions.
A local man, Gimma Kebele, told the DR News programme '21 Søndag' that he worked at Enat Alem and that, along with his duties as a night watchman, he went around local villages visiting families in an attempt to persuade them to put their children up for adoption. Kebele says that he has been involved in 145 adoptions at Enat Alem.

The Saudi Arabia government has made an official statement rebuffing recent remarks made by the kingdom’s deputy defense minister against the construction Ethiopia’s Grand renaissance dam.
Speaking at a session of the Arab Water Council held in Cairo late in February, Khalid Bin Sultan, accused the Horn of Africa nation of posing a national security threat to Sudan and Egypt by building the massive $4.8 billion hydro power dam, which is being built along the Blue Nile River near the Sudanese border.

Minister for Social Affairs Karen Hækkerup has confirmed that she has immediately introduced a temporary ban on adoptions from Ethiopia through the DanAdopt agency.

Types and formalities of Oromo marriage
By Tigist Geme*
Marriage is one of the most important rituals in Oromo culture. The custom of marriage differs in various parts of the world and every civilization produces a marriage pattern appropriate to itself (Ludlow, 1965, cited in Gemechu & Assefa., 2006). Among the Oromo society also the type, name and ceremonies differ to some degree from place to place. Generally, there are three types of marriage among the Oormo.

Ethiopia: Muslim Protesters Face Unfair Trial
April 02, 2013 | Human Rights Watch
Open Hearings to Family, Independent Monitors, Media
(Nairobi) – The prosecution of 29 Muslim protest leaders and others charged under Ethiopia’s deeply flawed anti-terrorism law raises serious fair trial concerns. The trial is scheduled to resume in Addis Ababa on April 2, 2013, after a 40-day postponement.
The case has already had major due process problems. Some defendants have alleged ill-treatment in pre-trial detention. The government has provided defendants limited access to legal counsel and has taken actions that undermined their presumption of innocence. Since January 22 the High Court has closed the hearings to the public, including the media, diplomats, and family members of defendants.

Difference Between Freedom of a Country and of People – Remark on the ODF Statement
March 2013 | By Ibsaa Guutama**
TO READ THIS REMARK IN AFAAN OROMOO CLICK HERE
Recently, another organization with the Oromo name has appeared. It is to be remembered that, last year, an organization claiming a similar vision with the present and bearing the name of the Oromo Liberation Front was declared. The statements which both gave to the public media seem as if they were written by the same scribe. The current organization now calls on the Oromo people saying “We have risen with new vision, new tactics of struggle to empower you to pull out from the paralysis in which the struggle is in. To get the objective we designed for the struggle to empower you realized, let us heat up the struggle henceforth.” Is it to empower Oromo or Ethiopians? It [the new organization] might think that people might have forgotten what those before it said, or it itself might have forgotten it. To remind it further, there are organizations formed inside the country with the same vision. It is good to see programs of OPDO, OFDM and OPCO, and identify similarities and differences. There is also OBDN (Oromo National Democratic Movement) in recent history. All say they will struggle for Oromo rights within the Ethiopian union. How they go for it might possibly have differences, but differences of presentation in splitting words into details does not change the end goal.

Oromo Democratic Front’s Tortuous Path to Birth
April 01, 2013 | By Moosisaa Hoosaa*
After years of gestation and almost killing its mother – the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), the Oromo Democratic Front (ODF) was born on March 28, 2013. Fifteen years would pass from when its idea was publicly proposed by its chief architect – Obbo Leenco Lata[1] – at an Oromo Studies Association (OSA) conference in the summer of 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, to its miracle of birth this week.
