Oromos in Germany: Call for a Peaceful Protest Against the Tyranny in Oromia – August 30, 2013 in Frankfurt

Oromos in Germany: Call for a Peaceful Protest Against the Tyranny in Oromia – August 30, 2013 in Frankfurt

Human Rights are Universal and Indivisible
Over the past 21 years, the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF)-led and dominated Ethiopian government has imprisoned tens of thousands of political opposition and citizens, mainly Oromos. As a consequence to the government’s repressive policies, thousands of innocent citizens have been languishing in prisons and secret camps, and many have been and are being severely tortured, disabled and/or killed. Others have been abducted in broad daylight, and made to disappear or murdered secretly.
Rampant arrests, unlawful killings, abductions, tortures and other human rights abuses by the Ethiopian government, consistent with the direct experiences of many of us, are documented and confirmed in the annual reports of well-respected human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and the U.S. State Department.
Despite these tangible facts of human rights abuses, the Ethiopian government continues receiving billions of dollars of aid money every year. Subsidizing over one third of its budget from foreign aid, Ethiopia has built one of the biggest and best-equipped armies in Africa – while millions of its citizens depend on food aid. In fact, the aid money is used to impose the Tigrayan ethnocentric dictatorship on Oromos and other peoples in an involuntary multinational society.
It is frustrating to witness the West’s reluctance to use their influence to effect real change, and even worse to believe the fairytale of a human-rights-abusing government that claim to be moving on the road to democracy.
While thousands of Oromos and others are languishing in prisons under bogus terrorism charges, the current Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Mr. Hailemariam Dessalegn, brazenly argued in public that there are/were no political prisoners in Ethiopia.
Such blatant misinformation has been the norm within the entire leadership of the TPLF-regime – intended to deceive international donors and allies. Again, referring to his inauguration speech, the new prime minister also promised to continue implementing the policies of the late autocratic Prime Minister Meles Zenawi; this is a clear indication that the new prime minister is under the control of the Tigrayan elites and that he cannot make any reform and democratic changes in the empire-state of Ethiopia.
Observing the painful agony and sufferings of the ordinary people, the political prisoners in particular, and the worsening situation at home, we, members of the Oromo communities and the Union of Oromo Students in Germany, call for a peaceful demonstration on 30.08.2013 (August 30, 2013) in Frankfurt am Main, to protest against the tyranny of the TPLF-Ethiopian government, and earnestly appeal to the German government and its allies to use their good offices with the Ethiopian government and facilitate the following:
1. Immediately stop of financial support to the dictatorship in Ethiopia
2. Immediately stop to ethnic-cleansing now underway in eastern-Oromia’s Anniyya region
3. Unconditionally and immediately release of all political prisoners
4. Practical action to promote real democratic changes in the country
5. Immediately stop to Land-grabbing and their restitution to the indigenous owners
6. Immediately implement the right of the Oromo and other nations for national self-determination.
7. Respect freedom of religion and journalism
8. justice for those criminally murdered in Arsi–Kofele and all parts of Oromia

Human rights group says sentencing of 21 Oromos in Ethiopia’s court is politically motivated

The following is an Urgent Action statement from the Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA). HRLHA is a nonpolitical organization (with the UN Economic and Social Council – (ECOSOC) Consultative Status), which attempts to challenge abuses of human rights of the people of various nations and nationalities in the Horn of Africa.

HRLHA – Calls for Reversal of Racially and Politically Motivated Sentences
August 15, 2013
Press Release
The Federal High Court of Ethiopia sentenced 21 Oromo Nationals (most of whom are university students) to as much as 2-8 years in prison on 7th August, 2013. The report HRLHA received indicates that all of them have spent about three years pending trials on alleged charges of collaborating with the opposition organization of the Oromo Liberation Front with the intention of committing terrorist crimes. According to information obtained by HRLHA through its correspondents, most of the defendants were very young Oromo students picked up at different times from different universities and colleges in the regional state of Oromia and other parts of the country.

Photos: Three of the Sentenced Oromo Students
The HRLHA has learnt that most of the 21 Oromo defendants did not even have acquaintance of each other, let alone collectively committing terrorist crimes, as they were brought together from different universities in the country and met each other in the jail. According to some legal experts, the fact that the charges were mere fabrications aimed at imposing punishments intended for political intimidation has made it difficult for the accused to defend themselves. However, by blatantly acting as a political tool of the ruling party, the court handed down the guilty verdict on the Oromo nationals without taking into consideration some evidences that the defendants attempted to present to defend themselves against the charges. There are more concerns that, particularly five of the twenty one defendants, who were charged with additional and separate article (criminal code, Article 241, “Attack on the Political or Territorial Integrity of the State”) from the sixteen others, might face very harsh punishments.
Although this verdict did not come as a surprise, as it is not the first of its kind, it has enormously added to the accumulation of partiality, injustice and unfairness of the justice system, raising further concerns among the human rights groups, and defenders of justice and equality including the HRLHA.
The twenty one alleged convicts are:

It also calls up on all local, regional, and international activists of justice and human rights defenders to jointly raise their voices against such racial partialities and injustices so that the Ethiopian Government refrain from inappropriately using the justice system as a weapon of punishment and intimidation for political gains.

Ati dura Oromoo moo itophiyaa dhaa? Gaaffii juujuu akkamiiti?

Are you first Oromo or Ethiopian? What question of a naïve?

Oromiyaan waggoota dhibbaa oliif qabaa Itophiyaa humnaan itt fe’ame jala jirti. Kanaaf sabaawoti Oromoo waan hariiroo sabgidduu ilaalutt kelladarbii (passport) nambiyyummaa see qabatanii deemu. Oromoma  keessaa  illee mammiin  Oromoon saba of danda’e ta’uu kan keessaa hin baane jiru. Jireenyi saanii daddaaqinaa fi dudhama dhabuutu keessa guute. Alii republika Oromiyaa walaba dhaabuuf kan kutatan waliin joga’u. Alii walqixxummaan nambiyyummaan Itophiyaa nu hayyamamnaan nu gaha jedhu. Eessa akka isaan ijaajjan baruun hammuma eessa akka isaan hin ijaajjinee baruu dhibaa dha. Sun tuffii nyaaphaf karaa bane.Oromiyaa is under forced Ethiopian occupation for over a century. For this reason Oromo nationals carry her passport for concerns of international relations. Among the Oromo there are some that are not yet liberated from doubt that Oromiyaa can be a self sustaining entity. For this reason their lives are filled with wavering and lack of commitment. At times they roll on with those determined to establish independent republic of Oromiyaa. At other times they say it would be enough for us if we are granted Ethiopian citizenship as equals. To know where they stand is becoming as baffling as where they are not.
Hobbaati kolonummaa bara dheeraa fi hanqina birmadumma sammuutu haala akkasii uuma.  Nyaaphi jara akkasii ilaaluun gargar baasee rukutuuf anjaa kan argate itt fakkaata.

It opened the way for contempt of the enemy. Their condition is the result of more than a hundred years of occupation and lack of mental liberation. Observing those types enemies thought they got advantage to divide and attack Oromo. They know if they are asked “are you first Oromo or Ethiopian?” what first come to running dogs lips will be the second one. Such are those Americans call “Uncle Tom” and Oromo call “Galtuu”. The adversary took for granted that all Oromo are like them and ask those they come across, “who are you first Ethiopian or?” with contempt. They wanted to set Oromoo against each other by dividing them into those that say “first Oromo” and “first Ethiopia”. The cacophony heard recently in reactionary Habashaa camp and Oromo camps was the result of the question “are you Oromo or Ethiopian first?” Some days ago we have also seen the barrage of insults and defamations poured over an Oromo from Habashaa camp for saying “I am first an Oromo”.
Another Oromoo nationalist had expressed himself on this issue. In the country he resides the right of expressing oneself is protected by constitution. Habashaa in the Diaspora are seen daily condemning the incumbent Ethiopian Government through mass media and street demonstrations for breach of human rights and the right of self expression. But when it comes to them, in this country where rule of law is supreme and in which they took shelter fleeing from injustice it does not work. They become furious and do not tolerate even a hissing sound from an Oromo. This time they did not stop with fury but kidnapped the Oromo that commented on the issue and were ready to hack him when unexpectedly someone appeared on the scene and they run away before they performed the operation. It is now over two decades since the Oromo started to fly their own colors and activists officially declared that they are not Ethiopians. Habashaa elites are taking Oromo struggle that thousands were sacrificed for, as if nothing happened. Judging from few conformists they have convinced themselves that all Oromo have no objective for independence. They were surprised hearing “I am Oromo first” from their historic serf. Enemy contempt of the feudal days is relapsing. Shying and surrendering cannot make it to rest. Asking questions “Are you Oromo first?” shows only arrogance and ignorance as ever of the interviewer about Oromo struggle.
Conscious Oromo take violent acts of the enemy for a leaking balloon. It is only one that is unable to stand surrounding pressure and does not have political consciousness that behaves in that manner. An ethnically Oromoo is first Oromo and then after too. One also does not have a competing nationality at the same time. For this reason the slogan is not “I am first Oromo” but will be “I am an Oromo ever”. The Habashaa had pounded and rubbed down for over a hundred years to delete their identity but in vain. They made it crime to use one’s law, culture, religion, tradition and language. Thanks to their peasants they are able to preserve it and save so long under all that happened. Now to expect going back after their children are educated rather than developing more is naked arrogance. Propaganda for defamation and denigrating being advanced by Habashaa elites that fell down from grace is not new; it is continuation of the policy of their fathers that was aimed at denying Oromo viable leadership. If they get a fitting time, they will follow their footsteps and continue assassinations like one tried recently. .
Time has proved that all past policies were unable to stop the wheel of history. However it cannot be said that neighbors cannot form relations based on trust and equality based on free will. At a time when such relations were not formed it is only strangers that ask “What are you first?” But it will be strange for oppressor and the oppressed to behave like one. What makes one rant if an oppressed Oromo tell how he views himself? Seeing that he is awake they wished to tell him “go back to sleep you are us and cannot be yourself”. It is like the Oromo girl said “One that one abhors his sight even when sited, gets up and asks for a dance”. The slogan “I am first Oromo” is being chanted in all corners of the glob where Oromo are found. This saying seems to leave an opening to another alternative. If possible it would be better for it to reflect the concept that I am Oromo at all times so that it is not interpreted as having inbuilt lack of determination. Even if there is discrimination against Oromo and the Southern peoples they are considered Ethiopian citizens according to International and law of the empire. Being Ethiopian is not by choice but imposed on them by force against their free will. Therefore that is not to be considered as a second choice by activists. If there are those that advocate keeping that with some face changes, they will be only those that are against kaayyoo of independence.
The Oromo mentioned above though youthful is disciplined. He answered what he was asked politely without squabble. He said only “I am first Oromo” and did not say what should have been replied for such arrogant question “I am not an Ethiopian”. What would have happened had he said so? Nothing, but it would commit him publicly to independence of Oromiyaa as the only position on his part and on their side that could have made them bray like asinine rather than howl like a dog. By his civility the young Oromo exposed their imperatorial arrogance. Oromo had gone far beyond local verbal skirmishes at this age of globalization and started to think how to compete with nations of the world. Only short time is left before they get rid of the empire’s rule once and for all. It is only the unconscious and one who does not take tomorrow into account that question Oromo identity. Oromo views all neighboring peoples as siblings. Those that take such view as weakness should pause and consider consequences before hand. It is only if we bring peace and stability to our region that we bestow respect on Africa.
Peoples in the region desire peace. The campaign from all directions for plundering and power mongering by Habashaa elites will not have any lasting benefit. They can achieve a life of progress and happiness for their people if only they could reach peaceful understanding with neighboring peoples. For this reason if all expect respect for themselves they should recognize the right of all peoples. They have to cease nostalgia for their past and start to consider their old colonies as their equal partners. Whether they like it or not those peoples are going to force their rights respected by their own efforts. But smooth break can have advantage for all. The must be ready to swallow the bitter pill that those that are proud of their Oromummaa are first and last Oromo. No one can deprive them their Oromummaa as a national and ethnic entity; or for Ethiopian citizenship to continue ad infinitum without their free consent. Oromo will always be only Oromo!! Oromo struggle shall continue in all dimensions until victory!!!

Waa’ee Janaraal Taaddasaa Birruu

Baqqalaa Jiraataa irraa*
Yaada barreefama Obbo Kadiroo Eleemoo Janaraal Taaddasaa Birruu ilaalchisanii barreesan ilaalu. Mata dureen barrefama obbo Kadiroo akkas jedha. “The story of a Mandela behind Mandela
Duraan durse barreefamni Obbo Kadiroo akka barreeffamatti baayee gaarii ta’uu ibsuun barbaada. Haata’u malee, qabxii lama Obbo Kadiroon Janaraal Taaddasaa Birruu ilaalchisee tuqan, waanan seenaa barreefame irraa dubbiseen walbira qabee yaada koo kennun fedha. Qabxii Inni tokkoffan yaaalii fonqolcha mootummaa Hayilasilasee irratti Janaraal Mangistuu fi Garmaamee Newyi bara 1960 godhan fashalesuu keessatti gahee Janaraal Taaddasaa yoo ta’u inni lammaffan waa’ee ummata Oromoo barsiisuu ti.
Yaalii fonqolcha Hayilasilaasee ilaalchise Obbo Kadiroo akkas jedhanii ka’an:
“They convinced a police commissioner, Warqinah Gabayyahu, to join the plot. As it was a Manzyan matter, they did not consult a man who would be a game changer, Colonel Taddasa, a decorated anti-fascist hero and the deputy commander of police.”
Obbo Kadiroon asirratti waan lama tuqan. Tokko Janaraal Taaddasaan waan Manzee hin ta’inif Mangistufan waa’ee fonqolcha mootummaa Hayilasilasee itti hin himne. Kun dhugaadha akkuma fuula duratti dubbisnu. Inni lammaffan yeroo sana kolonela kan turan Janaraal Taaddasaan goota farra fashistii ta’uu isaniti. Asirrattis rakkon hin jiru seenaa dhugaa waan ta’eef.
Garuu Obbo Kadiroon gadi siqanii: “The news of the coup was a surreal moment, a nerve-wracking and an earthquake for the Colonel since he was indoctrinated that even speaking bad of the divine emperor was transgressing the Law of God that would lead to the fall of Sky. He lost his cool for the ‘sacred’ office of ‘the God Elect’ was disputed and violated. He prepared the Ethiopian Police Riot Battalion for the Kamikaze type mission. He gathered his fellow brainwashed policemen. They passionately chanted and chanted, ‘Let us sacrifice ourselves for our beloved emperor!’ ‘Let us Perish for Ethiopia.’ He marched his men, along the national army, to restore the glory of King Solomon, the son of David, the Son of God, and, above all, to restore the Glory of God. Dying in the mission was dying for the cause of God, and the reward was The Eternal Zion.”
Asirratti eegaa yaadni Obbo Kadiroo kan walfaalesu. Janaraalichi waan hin beeknetti, kaayyoon fonqolcha mootummaa maal akka ta’e bakka warri hin mari’chisnetti hirmachuu didanii fashalesan jechudhan jechoota olitti dubbifaman tarreesan.

Akkuma olitti Obbo Kadiroos ta’e Janaraal Taaddasaan jedhan “Mengistu and Germame didn’t consult the man who would be the game changer” (Mangistuu fi Garmaameen Janaraalicha haala jijjiruu danda’an hin mari’achisne).

Akkuma kitaaba seenaa kana keessatti ibsame “Tasfayee Mokonon” namni jedhamu “Janaraal Taaddasaa Birrutu Mangistuu Newayifaa ganee fonqolcha fashalese” jedhee barreese Obbo Kadironis jechoota seena Janaraalichaa gurrachesu tarresaniru. Tasfayee Mokonon “Janaraal Taaddasaa mootummatu waldaa Maccaa –Tuulamaa akka basaasanif keessa galche” jedhee nama ummata isaatif hanga lubbuu isaatti wareege maqaa balleesuf nama barreese dha.

Sababni isaas Janaraalichas ta’ee akkuma walii galatti ummatni Oromoo damaqinsa dhalootni harraa irra gahera waan hin geenyef. Kanaafuu, Janaraal Taaddasaan akkas jedhan “በርግጥ ኣንዳንድ ጊዜ ዛሬ ስለዚህ መንግስት ያለኝ ግምት በዚያን ጊዜ ቢኖረኝ ኖሮ ምን ያህል ሁኔታውን መለወጥ እችል ነበር” በማለት በቁጭት ተናግረዋል። Ilaalchaan harra mootummaa sanaf qabu otuun yeroo sana qabadhera ta’ee jedhanii gaabbuun isaanis kanaf.
Kanaafuu, haala dammaqinsa amma irra geenye irraa kaanee nama ummatni Oromoo fakkenya goota gootota isaa jedhee farfatu Taaddasaa Birruu bifa hin taaneen boocuun sirrii hin ta’u.

Yaadni inni lammafan Obbo Kadiroon tuqan immoo “the colonel was reluctant to join the education of his native people even in a language of a ruling class” jedha.

Kun immoo mamii (reluctant) waan agarsisuu natti hin fakkatu. Akililuu Habtewaldis Taaddasaa “baradha, baradhaa jechuu baayiftettaa eenyun barsisuu akka qabnu beeekuu qabda” kan jedhe amaaraan maalif baradha jettaa jechuu isaa hin ture.
