We are deeply shocked by the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night leaving hundreds of people dead and scores injured. The unconscionable attacks intended to terrorize innocent people are assault on humanity and the universal values of peace, democracy, and freedom.
In this sad moment, we stand with the families of the victims, with all those affected, and with the people of France and the world in the fight against terrorism. And we affirm our determination that terrorism will never defeat democracy.

The Ethiopian Regime Is Destabilizing the Horn of Africa Region
November 13, 2015 | Huffington Post | By Yohannes Woldemariam*
The Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn claims Al-Shabab is diminishing with Ethiopian support to the Somali government. He also told BBC Africa editor, Mary Harper, that "Ethiopians are satisfied with the system of government in the country."
During the interview, PM Desalegn painted a very rosy picture of the situation in Ethiopia and its dealings with the region. The regime seems to be on a charm offensive with the Western media. According to Mary Harper, PM Desalegn requested for the interview, which was conducted impromptu. After listening to the interview, I wished Ms. Harper had scrutinized the PM a bit more on Eritrea and Somalia as she did with his domestic human rights violations. For example, the PM was never confronted on the important issue of the boundary demarcation with Eritrea. He freely pontificated on the issue of refugees without being challenged about the role of the Ethiopian regime in refugee production.

Gadaa as the Fountain of Oromummaa and the Theoretical Base of Oromo Liberation
November 04, 2015 | From the selected works of Pro. Asaffaa Jaallataa
Abstract:
Every society has its unique central organizing and ruling ideology and theoretical models in a given historical epoch that it uses as its lenses to look at and interpret the world and to survive freely and advance its civilization or ways of life without disruption from within and without. Ideology plays many roles in a society, and its essential function is to define and promote the political, material, and cultural interests pf a group, a nation, a social class, a state, or other entities; it also "offers an explanation and an evaluation of political, economic, and social condition, provides its holders a compass that helps orient them and develop a sense of identity, and tenders a prescription for political economic, or social action." Before the Oromo were colonized, they, too, had their central organizing and ruling ideology and theoretical models that were embedded in the gadaa/siqqee civilization that organized and guided them as a society socially, culturally, religiously, politically, militarily, and economically. We advance the idea that without retrieving and developing the best elements of their heritage, the Oromo cannot fully develop Oromummaa (national culture, identity, and ideology) as their organizing and central ideology and their theoretical models of liberation in order to empower themselves as a nation in the twenty first century. While developing their ideology and theoretical model, Oromo nationalists need to recognize and overcome the devastating ideologies, behaviors, and theoretical models of their oppressors that have confused and disempowered their nation.
