Sacrificing myself protesting injustice, discrimination and oppression against the Oromo people is my greatest honor
—Baqqalaa Garbaa, November, 2012
Sign the White House Human Rights petition and help Bakala Garba and over 20,000 Oromo prisoners of conscience get released or heard worldwide! wh.gov/9Xa3As you might be aware, the news of Ethiopia’s unjust sentencing of senior Oromian opposition leaders Bakala Garba and Olbana Lelisa of the Oromo Federalist Congress has shocked the conscience of many Oromos in Oromia and the diaspora. Now that you have read all the news and the courageous words that Bakala Garba spoke to the face of his tormentors and jailers, please take your time and ACT by signing the petition promoted below. Bakala Garba said to the colonizers: “Sacrificing myself protesting injustice, discrimination and oppression [against the Oromo people) is my greatest honor.”
Honor these Oromian national heroes by at least signing a petition and sharing it in your social circle. They tried to do something for their people, but they were stopped prematurely by the undemocratic and undemocratizable Ethiopian empire.
Signatures needed are 24, 992, and so far as of today (November 10) only 8 people have signed it. In the past, some of our diaspora members have lacked initiatives, and even failed to complete a petition with less signature numbers needed than the current one. Every bit of initiative you take shows that you care about our people who look Oromo colonizers in the face and tell them that their spirits are unbreakable until Oromia is free and independent . Only our inaction can break the spirits of these heroes in their torture prison cells. It is your civic duty to share this with your friends and family on your social media network or to give calls to your friends and loved ones in order to get them to sign it.
