Tedy is a modern Minelik II weapon to wage genocide against Oromo
December 26, 2013 | By Itana Guteta*
Oromo have their own country Oromia. Oromia is Oromo country annexed by Abyssinian- the modern Ethiopia in 1890s. The Abyssinia got help from supper power of that time: USA, Russia, France, and Italy. Since then, Oromo people have been struggling in different ways to get back their country. Thus, about 45000 Oromo political prisoners are serving in Abyssinian colonial jail as Dr. Troman reported.
When Oromo activists claim their God given rights, the Habasha ( Abyssinian) defile the name of Oromo activists as narrow nationalists or extremists. I can take the current ongoing debate about Tedy, the Habasha musician who supported the genocide made by Menelik II whose target was to demolish the Oromo from the face of the earth. Tedy said that the war Minelik waged against Oromo people which resulted in 5 millions of death of Oromo heroes and heroines is holy war. But Oromo human rights activists like Jawar Muhammad, Abdi Fixe, Garsuu Tufa and others are seen as extremists and condemned as Anti-unity by colonizers ( Abyssinian).

The dark side of Teddy Afro's fame and fortune
December 22, 2013 | OPride | By Tigist Geme*
Ethiopia’s pop star Tewodros Kassahun, better known as Teddy Afro, is once again back in the limelight. Teddy made headlines last week with a comment published in the local Amharic magazine, Enqu, in which he condoned Menelik's greater Abyssinian campaign in southern Ethiopia as a holy war. Despite this disturbing statement and Teddy’s controversial past, local subsidaries for two multinational corporations – Heineken NV and Coca Cola Company – have recently signed Teddy to promote their products.
Enqu editors circulated the magazine’s December issue (pictured above) via email featuring Teddy and his beloved emperor side to side on its cover with a comment that reads, “For me, Menelik’s unification campaign was a Holy War.” A few days later, amid protests on social media, the publishers shelved the comment and sought to dismiss the controversy by saying it was a technical glitch in their system.

The Strange Twist in Amhara Politics: Rehabilitating Past Tyrants
December 19, 2013 | Gulele Post
The latest fanfare surrounding the celebration of Menelik’s centennial marks an interesting strategic shift in Amhara politics. This memorialization function which, both by design and default, turns every futile, petty, even downright brutal acts of ancient kings into a dazzling action, began a decade ago with a successful resurrection of Haile Selassie I. Now it’s Menelik’s turn. With the publishing of his memoirs and multiple interviews, Mengistu is just around the corner. I argue that the resurrection and rehabilitation of the memory of past rulers is not just an obsession of the fringe in the right and some populist artists, but a calculated and systematic undertaking by intellectuals supported by the broader political community suggestive of a deeper and seismic shift in the Amhara politics.

Ethiopia: Miscommunication - Telecoms Expansion Targets Quantity Not Quality
December 18, 2013 | Addis Fortune | BY BEWKET ABEBE*
Although ethio-telecom is in the midst of an expansion to increase the number of service beneficiaries, such as mobile subscribers, and to that effect investing a large amount of money in the sector, mobile communication has continued to be unreliable in several parts of Addis Abeba.
Last week, a passenger going by taxi from Kotebe to Megenagna, in Yeka district, saw a person he knew walking on the street. He wanted to talk to him and dialed his number, but was not able to connect. He was angry with ethio telecom’s recorded voice, which informs customers that they cannot connect and that they should try again later.
“When is that later?” He asked indignantly. “Ethio telecom needs to tell us.”
The mobile connection problem is visibly worse in identified areas, the majority of which are where the network infrastructures is built by Nokia. People around the Jemo area in Lafto District complain about not being able to connect.
Ethiopian migrants return empty handed from Saudi Arabia
December 18, 2013 | IRIN News
When Mohamed Yusuf left his home town in Ethiopia for Saudi Arabia a year ago at the age of 17, he thought life would change for the better. Instead, a difficult and unprofitable stay in Saudi Arabia ended when he was among the nearly 137,000 undocumented Ethiopian migrants deported by the Saudi authorities to date.
"At first, I thought I was going to change my life and those of my father and mother, who paid for the whole trip out of their meagre income," said Yusuf, whose father is a farmer in northern Ethiopia. However, the gruelling journey to Saudi Arabia and his stay there had been harrowing experiences, he told IRIN.

Currently, we are hearing that different individuals, groups and political parties as well as St. Marry Church (Located near National Palace around Arat Killo, Addis Ababa) are preparing to celebrate or are celebrating the 100th year of Menilik II death. It is shocking that Orthodox Christian Church is organizing a ceremony to officially celebrate the 100th year of Menilik II death. Different comments are being given on the celebration from different perspectives. From advocators side, Tewodros Kassahun gave his response about the celebration on Inku Magazine Number 107 published on December 2013. I found it necessary to provide responses to his interview on the magazine. Before directly commenting on his responses, it is better to have background information.

Noble Park woman secures over $50,000 in crowd-funding to help save an African language
December 15, 2013 | Herald Sun
A CROWD-FUNDING campaign launched from Noble Park to save an African language ended yesterday with more than $50,000 in the bank.
 |
| Toltu Tufa has managed to raise over $50,000 to enable the printing of children's books to keep an African language alive. |
Called simply Afaan, which means 'language' in Oromo, the month-long campaign to raise $20,000 on pozible.com was the brainchild of Noble Park resident Toltu Tufa.
The 27-year-old, who works in clinical governance at the Royal Women's Hospital at Carlton, will use the money to print 12,000 children's books in the Oromo language, which was banned in parts of East Africa until 1991.
Oromo as a victim of hate crime at homeland and abroad
December 15, 2013 | By Hara Olani*
In its broad meaning, hate crime is a category of crime used to describe bias-motivated violence: “assault, injury and murder on the basis of certain personal or group characteristics that include different appearance, different color, different religion, different nationality, different identity, etc.
For more than a century, the Oromo in Ethiopian empire specifically targeted and injured, killed, forced to flee their homeland, and even continuously abused verbally abroad by Ethiopian politicians, media, activists, and individuals that think being a true Ethiopian is being denying oneself’s identity.

How an Ethiopian slave became a South African teacher
By Sandra Rowoldt Shell, University of Cape Town | From BBC News Africa On 25 August 2011
When Neville Alexander used to visit his maternal grandmother Bisho Jarsa as a boy, he never suspected the extraordinary story of how she had come from Ethiopia to the South African city of Port Elizabeth.
 |
| Bisho Jarsa, trained as a domestic servant, went on to become a teacher |
Bisho was one of a group of Ethiopian slaves freed by a British warship in 1888 off the coast of Yemen, then taken round the African coast and placed in the care of missionaries in South Africa.

A big thanks is to those heroes in South Africa
December 11, 2013 | Qeerroo.org
I was watching the funeral ceremony on the death of Madiba Mandela on TV scrutinizing the flags flying behind Mr. Obama. My soul and mind was searching for OLF/Oromo flag among others. From behind the podium at the left side of the speaker a green Oda tree at center of a shining sun flickered once, the second time it appeared I was not in doubt; it was what I was hungrily looking for! It was there not simply as a beautiful and beloved emblem of the Oromo nation; it conveys a huge message than that. It represented at this celebration the heroes and heroines of the Oromo people among whom are G/Tadassa Birru the once friend and host of Mandela during his military training in Finfinne; Col/ Feqadu Waqkenne his trainer and O/Guta Dinqa one of the guards to Mr. Mandela.
Ethiopian Empire Has Never Been Grateful to Even Loyal Oromos
December 11, 2013 | Gadaa.com | By Gizachew Ebisa Soboksa*
Amhara elites always repeat the lie that Oromo nationalists deny the role of Oromo individuals in building and keeping the Ethiopia empire. No, we do not. What we are saying is that the Ethiopian empire had been built and has been maintained by destroying the Oromo identity, culture and pride to extent that it turned them into servitude and second-class citizens in their country.

In a Letter to the Deutsche Welle (DW) Broadcasting Board, Oromo Activist Announced Boycott of DW Amharic Service Over Ethnically-Motivated Biased Program Against the Oromo Nation
The following letter was written by an Oromo human rights activist to the Deutsche Welle (DW) Broadcasting Board, regarding the DW Amharic Service involvement in racial/ethnic attack against the Oromo nation on air. Here is the inflammatory and biased program aired on DW Amharic Service on December 8, 2013.
Dear Broadcasting Board,
We, the Oromos all over the world, are deeply offended by DW’s Amharic Service racial/ethnic attack aired against the Oromo people of Ethiopia on December 8, 2013. The DW host invited two guests from Amhara ethnic group and one guests from the Oromo of Ethiopia. To make it easy for distorting history, the two Amhara guests were professors of history while the Oromo guest was an economist by profession. The two professors were making inflammatory remarks about the Oromo people. The host journalist, who is also from Amhara ethnic group, clearly took the position against the Oromos and involved in harassing the Oromo guest. What’s more disheartening was the fact that these inflammatory remarks fitted the editor’s one-sided editorial position on praising the controversial king Minilik of Ethiopia who masterminded the chopping off 3000 Oromo women’s breasts and Oromo men’s hands in a single day (Abbas 1995, Hassen, 2002, Jalata 1998 and Bulcha 2006). To put it in relative terms, it is praising Adolf Hitler to Jews community on air.

| General Tadesse Birru and Nelson Mandela |
In July 1962, Col Fekadu Wakene taught South African political activist Nelson Mandela the tricks of guerrilla warfare - including how to plant explosives before slipping quietly away into the night.
Mr Mandela was in Ethiopia, learning how to be the commander-in-chief of Umkhonto we Sizwe - the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC).

In the days and weeks ahead, you will likely read moving obituaries and reflections -- from ordinary people and world leaders alike -- about a man that inspired the entire world.
Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s anti-apartheid icon and champion of human dignity, died Thursday after long illness.
In the days and weeks ahead, you will likely read moving obituaries and reflections -- from ordinary people and world leaders alike -- about a man that inspired the entire world.
“He achieved more than could be expected of any man,” President Barack Obama saidof his late hero shortly after Mandela's death was announced. “Like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set. And so long as I live, I will do what I can to learn from him.”

Rest In Peace Dear Nelson Mandela: We Share the loss and let us share his unforggotable words and thoughts below
Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first post-apartheid president and the most inspiring leader for equality and justice in living memory, has died aged 95. His death is a tremendous loss, not only for his country but for the world. Specially we the Oromo nation will cry loud for the lose of this hero as he was the symbol father of all oppressed people across the world. Madda Walaabuu Press would like to say Rest In Peace and our thoughts are with the family, nation and the world during these difficult times.
Below are few golden words and thoughts of Nelson Mandela. Let us read in the memory of our hero.=======================================================================
*** No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes from naturally to the human heart than its opposite.***
*** Without democracy there cannot be peace.****** As I walked out the door toward my freedom, I knew that if I didn't leave all the anger, hatred and bitterness behind, that I would still be in prison.***
*** When people are determined they can overcome anything.**
THE OROMO, GADAA/SIQQEE DEMOCRACY AND THE LIBERATION OF ETHIOPIAN COLONIAL SUBJECTS
December 2013 | By Asafa Jalata, University of Tennessee - Knoxville
Abstract
Abstract
This paper explores the potential role of the Gadaa/Siqqee system of Oromo democracy in the development of a democratic multinational liberation movement of the colonized nations within the Ethiopian Empire in order to dismantle the Tigrayan-led Ethiopian terrorist government and replace it with a sovereign multinational democratic state in the Horn of Africa based on the principles of indigenous democracy. After a brief introduction, this study describes the presence of a democratic, Siqqee/Gadaa administration among the Oromo in the Horn of Africa in the 16th and 17th centuries and the subsequent changes that made them vulnerable to colonization. It further examines the essence and main characteristics of Gadaa/Siqqee, showing that it provides a contrasting political philosophy to the authoritarian rule of the Ethiopian Empire. The study shows that in the face of oppression and exploitation the Oromo people have struggled to preserve and redevelop their indigenous democracy, written records of which go back to the 16th century, long before European nations embraced the principles of democratic governance. It also explains how it can be adapted to the current condition of the colonized nations within the Ethiopian Empire in order to revitalize the quest for national self-determination and democracy and to build a sovereign democratic state in a multinational context. Furthermore, the piece asserts that this struggle is truly a difficult one in the 21st century as the process of globalization is intensified and regional and local cultures are being suppressed under the pressure of dominating cultures.

Exilic Oromo Voices Condemned Further into Exile, into Silence
December 03, 2013 | By Tsegaye R Ararssa* | OPride
When the Saudi government started to crackdown on Ethiopian refugees and migrant workers last month, it was obvious that the consequent abuse was directed against all those who travel on Ethiopian passport irrespective of their particular national or ethnic identities.
From day one, we all reacted with anger, frustration, and despair. We were angry about the shameless infliction of brutality on these exilic souls referred to by the Saudis as ‘illegal residents.” We despaired at the lack of shame on the part of the Saudi police. We despaired at the lack of swift and appropriate response from the government of Ethiopia. We were frustrated by the total indifference of the international community.
