Oromos in Diaspora Rally to Commemorate the Victims of the 2016 Irreecha Massacre and Protest the Violence and Political Repression in Ethiopia
Press ReleaseOromos in Diaspora Rally to Commemorate the Victims of the 2016 Irreecha Massacre and Protest the Violence and Political Repression in EthiopiaThe Irreecha massacre, by the TPLF forces, on October 2, 2016 in Bishoftu, where an estimated 678 peaceful celebrators were murdered, marked a major turning point in the Oromo history.
This year, while celebrating the Irreecha festival, Oromo communities in the Diaspora will commemorate those who were murdered in Bishoftu on October 2, 2016 by the Ethiopian government forces and the conditions they created to victimize innocent people. Irreecha is an ancient Oromo cultural tradition which survived many years of repression, and continues to flourish. It is observed in late September and early October annually at the historic Lake (Hora) Arsadi near the town of Bishoftu, about 25 miles south of Finfinee (Addis Ababa). In recent years three to five million people attended the annual festival. For the Oromo, the day and the ground of the Irreecha celebrations are sacred. Participants gather and proceed in peace (nagaa); with greeneries in their hands, they chant praise to their God and pray for good life and prosperity for their families.

Oromummaa is under Threat: An Urgent Call for Unity of Purpose
September 23, 2017 | By Garee Mo'uu
Preamble
For a keen observer, it is not very difficult to see that genocide is happening in Oromia against the Oromo people. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines genocide as “a deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group”. A deliberate and systematic destruction of the Oromo people has been taking place since Woyane assumed power 26 years ago. The current situations in various parts of Oromia appear to be the beginning of the final phase of TPLF’s plan to wipe out our people. While all of this is happening, the so called international community is doing nothing but watching; in some cases they are encouraging the Woyane bandits by giving them resources that they need to accomplish their sinister plans. We have observed the world powers shading their crocodile tears but doing very little to stop the genocide. At this point, they have no moral authority to tell us what we need to do to defend ourselves. It is, therefore, up to us, the Oromo People, to stop this carnage using whatever means available. We must rise up in unison, as we have successfully done in the 16th century, and defend ourselves from these cruel creatures and restore our freedom, liberty, and dignity. In this piece, we will attempt to address what kind of unity will advance our cause and how we can achieve it.
Ethiopia: Exercise Restraint at Upcoming Festival: International Inquiry Needed into Deaths at 2016 Event
September 19, 2017 | Human Rights Watch
Ethiopian government and security officials should act with restraint and take concrete steps to prevent injuries and deaths at this year’s Irreecha festival on October 1, 2017, Human Rights Watch said in a report and video released today. Many people, likely hundreds, died in a stampede at last year’s festival, triggered by security forces’ use of teargas and obstruction of exits.
The 33-page report, “‘Fuel on the Fire’: Security Force Response to the 2016 Irreecha Cultural Festival,” details the Ethiopian government’s use of force in response to restive crowds at 2016’s Irreecha. The festival, attended by massive crowds, is the most important cultural festival to Ethiopia’s 40 million ethnic Oromos, who gather to celebrate the end of the rains and welcome the harvest. Human Rights Watch found evidence that security force personnel not only triggered the stampede that caused many deaths but subsequently shot and killed some members of the crowd.

The Dictatorial and Predatory Ethiopian TPLF Regime Will Never Succeed in Instigating Conflicts Between The Sisterly Oromo And Sidama Nations!
SNLF Press Release, 12 September 2017
The predatory Tigre Ethiopian Empire is crumbling from within and without. It is destroying itself from endemic economic and political corruption from within. The demise of the brutal regime is precipitated from without by the mass uprising of the majority Oromo nation who are demanding an end to the over a century of political and economic marginalization, and restoration of freedom, justice and self-rule in their vast Oromia land. The Oromo uprising has been continuing since 2015.Ibsa Tokkummaa Humnoota Bilisummaa Oromiyaa(THBO/ULFO) irraa kanname
