Ethiopia: Arrests Upstage Kerry Visit

Ethiopia: Arrests Upstage Kerry Visit

9 Bloggers, Journalists Held Before US Official Arrives

APRIL 28, 2014

•  EMAIL

(Nairobi, April 28, 2014) – The Ethiopian authorities should immediately release six bloggers and three journalists arrested on April 25 and 26, 2014, unless credible charges are promptly brought, Human Rights Watch said today.

United States Secretary of State John Kerry, who is scheduled to visit Ethiopia beginning April 29, should urge Ethiopian officials to unconditionally release all activists and journalists who have been arbitrarily detained or convicted in unfair trials, Human Rights Watch said. The arrests also came days before Ethiopia is scheduled to have its human rights record assessed at the United Nations Human Rights Council’s universal periodic review in Geneva on May 6.

“The nine arrests signal, once again, that anyone who criticizes the Ethiopian government will be silenced,” said Leslie Lefkow, deputy Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “The timing of the arrests – just days before the US secretary of state’s visit – speaks volumes about Ethiopia’s disregard for free speech.” 

On the afternoon of April 25, police in uniform and civilian clothes conducted what appeared to be a coordinated operation of near-simultaneous arrests. Six members of a group known as the “Zone9” bloggers – Befekadu Hailu, Atnaf Berahane, Natnael Feleke, Mahlet Fantahun, Zelalem Kibret, and Abel Wabela – were arrested at their offices and in the streets. Tesfalem Weldeyes, a freelance journalist, was also arrested during the operation. Edom Kassaye, a second freelance journalist, was arrested on either April 25 or 26; the circumstances of her arrest are unclear but all eight individuals were apparently taken to Maekelawi Police Station, the federal detention center in Addis Ababa, the capital.

The police searched the bloggers and journalists’ offices and homes, reportedly with search warrants, and confiscated private laptops and literature. On April 26, another journalist, Asmamaw Hailegeorgis of Addis Guday newspaper, was also arrested and is reportedly detained in Maekelawi. 

The detainees are currently being held incommunicado, Human Rights Watch said. On the morning of April 26, relatives were denied access to the detainees by Maekelawi guards, and only allowed to deposit food. 

Human Rights Watch released a report in October 2013 documenting serious human rights abuses, including torture and other ill-treatment, unlawful interrogation tactics, and poor detention conditions in Maekelawi against political detainees, including journalists. Detainees at Maekelawi are seldom granted access to legal counsel or their relatives during the initial investigation phase.

The Zone9 bloggers have faced increasing harassment by the authorities over the last six months. Sources told Human Rights Watch that one of the bloggers and one of the journalists have been regularly approached, including at home, by alleged intelligence agents and asked about the work of the group and their alleged links to political opposition parties and human rights groups. The blogger was asked a week before their arrest of the names and personal information of all the Zone9 members. The arrests on April 25, 2014, came two days after Zone9 posted a statement on social media saying they planned to increase their activism after a period of laying low because of ongoing intimidation.

A Human Rights Watch report in March described the technologies used by the Ethiopian government to conduct surveillance of perceived political opponents, activists, and journalists inside the country and among the diaspora. It highlights how the government’s monopoly over all mobile and Internet services through its sole, state-owned telecom operator, Ethio Telecom, facilitates abuse of surveillance powers. 

Kerry is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom in Addis Ababa “to discuss efforts to advance peace and democracy in the region.” Kerry should strongly urge the Ethiopian government to end arbitrary arrests, release all activists and journalists unjustly detained or convicted, and promptly amend draconian laws on freedom of association and terrorism that have frequently been used to justify arbitrary arrests and political prosecutions. The Obama administration has said very little about the need for human rights reforms in Ethiopia, Human Rights Watch said.

“Secretary Kerry should be clear that the Ethiopian government’s crackdown on media and civil society harms ties with the US,” Lefkow said.  “Continued repression in Ethiopia cannot mean business as usual for Ethiopia-US relations.”

Oromo Student Protests Against Addis Ababa Master Plan Spread Across Major Oromian Universities

Posted: Ebla/April 28, 2014 · Gadaa.com

After almost a decade of relative dormancy, Oromo students across universities in Oromia return to staging brazen rallies across Oromia and Ethiopia defying the presence of fully-armed EPRDF troops and security forces.

The students are protesting the new Addis Ababa Master Plan, which aims to expand the landmass on which the city is sitting by unconstitutionally annexing tens of neighboring Oromia state’s cities and rural districts (Aanaalee) within a 140 kilometers range against the will of the Oromo people. Thousands of students participated in the ongoing anti-Addis Ababa Master Plan non-violent demonstrations from Jimma, Ambo, Haromaya and Wallagaa public universities.

At the most recent rally at Wallagaa University in western Oromia, Ethiopia’s army and police opened fire with live ammunition injuring unknown numbers of students and terrorizing others into fleeing the campus to hide in nearby forests, according to a report obtained from the April 26 broadcast of Oromo Voice Radio, in Afan Oromo.

The National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy, Qeerroo, reported on its website that when the protest began on Jimma University campus on April 22, 2014, government soldiers and police responded with brutality — kidnapping, arresting and torturing over 12 students. The students called for an end to the evictions of an estimated 8-10 millionOromo farmers in the vicinity of Finfinne (Addis Ababa) from their ancestral lands. Among other human rights, the Oromo students demanded Oromia’s rights to self-government and the right to decide on the fate of its resources, including land and minerals.

Ambo University students alongside residents of the town of Ambo, in central Oromia,took to the streets in several hundreds and protested the master plan on April 25,2014. The students marched chanting slogans, such as “Oromia belongs to the Oromo people,” and “Finfinne is the heart (center) of Oromia,” highlighting a long-standing Oromo yearning for self-government and freedom from colonial oppression.

Another contingent of Oromo students staged a similar rally at Haromaya University, eastern Oromia, emphasizing that the Oromo people are not going to “cut and give away” cities and rural districts of Oromia to Abyssinian colonial powers in Addis Ababa. They demanded the release from prison of Oromo singer Jafar Yusuf, who released a music video protesting the master plan, which became the cause for his imprisonment. They also demanded Afan Oromo, the Oromo language, be made a federal official language. Haromaya Univesity students demanded an end to killings, imprisonment and torture targeting the Oromo people.

All the protests have had a common theme of demanding the Oromo right to self-government and ownership of its own country/land. Many of the slogans chanted by the students in all universities viewed Addis Ababa Master Plan as a callous plan by Ethiopia’s minority government to continue committing atrocity crimes [including genocide] against the Oromo people.

The master plan was secretly created by the inner circle of the Tigire People’s Liberation Front, who announced the implementation of the plan in an imposing way early this April. The people of Oromia, who never participated in the plan’s making, sternly objected to its implementation from day one across Oromia and the diaspora, and the opposition to it is gaining momentum by the day.

Addis Ababa city officials tried to make the unpopular plan look like a popular “development plan” by staging partisan and fake public discussions of the plan for non-Oromos in Addis Ababa who are not the victims of the planned new expansion, but who are the benefactors of the spoils of the city’s expansion currently and historically.

Ethiopian Security Forces Open Fire on Students

April 26, 2014 (CNN iReport) — There has been widespread protest by Oromo students in universities in Ethiopia against unpopular ‘Addis Ababa-Finfinnee surrounding integrated master plan’. Oromo students in Haromaya, Jimma, Ambo and Wollega universities held protests.

Although officials in Oromia state and Addis Ababa city administration insist the plan only intends to develop Addis Ababa and its surrounding, Oromo students and the wider Oromo elites believe the plan is to displace farmers in the outskirts and suburban areas of the city, meet the growing demand for land, and weaken the Oromo identity. The Ethiopian constitution grants a special interest to the Oromia state regarding administrative, resource and other socio-economic matters in Addis Ababa, in its article 49 which never have been implemented. This has largely resulted in significant resistance within the ruling party, OPDO, in Oromia and a continues pressure to materialize the implementation.

The protest against the doomed to fail master plan is held in four universities sofar. Yesterday (26/04/2014) at Wollega University, the infamous and notorious Federal police opened fire at innocent Oromo students. Reports and eye witness indicate unknown number of students were hurt and some have fled to the bushes. The people of Nekemete town were prevented from joining the resistance. Even then some of the residents broke through line of federal police force and joined the protest.

At similar protest in Jimma university, the security forces picked more than 10 students and jailed them. Further 15 students in Ambo university were jailed.

The uproar against the plan is resonating across different segments of Oromo society. A singer by name Jafar Yusuf was jailed last week that is believed to be because he released a single condemning the plan. The diaspora is is voicing its concerns through the newly launched diaspora based Oromia Media Network

The security forces in Ethiopia are dominated by the Tigrayan minority who have been in power since the downfall of Derg communist regime in 1991. The Oromos are the most prosecuted in Ethiopia. More than 40000 Oromos are in jail, although the correct figure is hard to know.

ETHIOPIA: OPPOSITION LEADERS Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT

ETHIOPIA: OPPOSITION LEADERS DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT

Amnesty International

URGENT ACTION

OPPOSITION LEADERS DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT

Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba are being denied medical treatment. The two men, political opposition leaders and prisoners of conscience, are reported to be ill in Kaliti prison, Ethiopia. Olbana Lelisa’s friends believe his condition may be life-threatening.

Several months ago Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba were moved from Ziway prison south of Addis Ababa, to Kaliti prison on the outskirts of the capital city, reportedly after a doctor in Ziway referred the two men for hospital treatment. However, since the transfer, the men have been denied access to a hospital. It is not clear what is wrong with the two men as they have not access to a full diagnosis.

Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba were arrested in August 2011, within days of meeting with Amnesty International staff. They were charged with crimes against the state based on alleged support for the proscribed group the Oromo Liberation Front – a charge regularly used to silence members of ethnic Oromo political opposition parties. After a trial marred by irregularities, they were both convicted in November 2012. In a subsequent sentencing hearing Bekele Gerba was sentenced to 8 years’ imprisonment and Olbana Lelisa was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment. Both sentences were later reduced on appeal to 3 years and 7 months, and 11 years respectively. Amnesty International considers the two men prisoners of conscience, imprisoned because of their legitimate and peaceful political activity, and should be immediately and unconditionally released.

Please write immediately in Amharic, English or your own language:

Urging that Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba are given immediate and unrestricted access to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and that they are permitted to remain in hospital until the treatment is concluded;

Expressing concern that Olbana Lelisa and Bekele Gerba, as well as other prisoners, are denied medical treatment during imprisonment;

Expressing concern that the men were arrested and prosecuted for exercising their legitimate right to freedom of expression, in belonging to political opposition parties, and urging that they are immediately released.

OPPOSITION LEADERS DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Olbana Lelisa was a party official in the Oromo Peoples’ Congress (OPC) party when he was arrested. Bekele Gerba was deputy chairman of the Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement (OFDM) party and an English teacher at Addis Ababa University. Both men had met with Amnesty International delegates just days before their arrests. The Amnesty International delegation was expelled from the country on the same day that Olbana and Bekele were arrested. During pre-trial interrogation both were questioned about their meetings with Amnesty International.

During their trial, around May 2012, Olbana complained to the court that he has been attacked by a violent fellow prisoner who had been placed in his cell. The court took no action on his complaint.

The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners provide that “Sick prisoners who require specialist treatment shall be transferred to specialized institutions or to civil hospitals.”

Since the arrests of Bekele and Olbana, the OFDM and OPC parties have merged to form the Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC). The OFC reported that another member – Mohamed Negashi, an OPC candidate in Dire Dawa during the 2005 elections, died of unexplained causes in detention in early 2014. His wife was denied access to his corpse for burial.

The OFC further reported that in March 2014 two young OFC activists were shot dead by police in Ginmir town, Oromia region. Seifu Oda, a 33 year old father of two, was reportedly taken from his home and shot in the mouth by police. The following day during protests about the killing, Seifu’s friend Abdi Bilya also an OFC supporter, was also reportedly shot dead.

The Ethiopian government is extremely hostile to dissent. Members of opposition parties and independent journalists are regularly harassed, arrested and prosecuted.

Large numbers of ethnic Oromos are regularly arrested on the accusation of supporting the Oromo Liberation Front. This includes many members and supporters of Oromo political opposition parties, and other people from all walks of life. These arrests are based on an actual or imputed opposition to the government.

In early 2011 – the year that Olbana and Bekele were arrested – hundreds of members of Oromo opposition parties were arrested, apparently as a result of the government’s fear that the Middle East and North Africa style uprisings would spread to Ethiopia. Large numbers of students from universities across the Oromia region were arrested during the same period.

The OFDM and OPC parties told Amnesty International that a number of their members arrested in March and April 2011 subsequently disappeared, leading to concerns that these individuals were being held in arbitrary detention.

BREAKING NEWS – #OromoFDG2014 – PHOTOS – April 26, 2014: Oromo Students Nonviolent Movement at Wallaggaa University Against Eviction of Oromo Farmers from Finfinnee Surrounding and Expansion of Addis Ababa

Posted: Ebla/April 26, 2014 · Gadaa.com

(April 26, 2014) – Oromo students’ nonviolent protests are underway at Wallaggaa University against the plan (called the Addis Ababa Master Plan) to evict millions of Oromo farmers and dispossess them of their land in Oromian districts surrounding Finfinnee under the pretext of the “urban development of Addis Ababa.”

According to published data, under the current TPLF regime, Addis Ababa has expanded by ~400% since 1991 (from ~13,763.3-ha in 1991 to ~52,706.2-ha in 2014 – see data here); even though the Oromiyaa Region is a federally constituted state, it continues to be annexed by the Habesha government of Addis Ababa.

Political analysts have stated recently that the current Addis Ababa Master Plan will potentially divide the Oromiyaa Region into two by the proposed plan’s annexation of Central Oromiyaa by Addis Ababa, and the subsequent eviction of the Oromo farming communities in Central Oromiyaa under the pretext of “industrial zones.” There are at least 8 industrial zones all over Oromiyaa, such as the Malka Jebdu area under the Dire Dawa Industrial Zone, the Ambo Industrial Zone, the Chinese-owned Bishoftu Eastern Industrial Zone – which is slated to extend all the way to Asella in Arsi Zone of Oromiyaa in the coming few years.

Yaa Oromoo koo erga ijaaramnee, erga tokkoomnee, erga hidhannee nuti gaalana Abbayyaatii, gabroomfatan kamiyyuu nu dura dhaabachuu hin dandayu. Barreeffata kana keessatti Seenaa Ka’umsa Oromoota Kurnan Gullallee, isa bara 1878 isiniif ibseen ture. Qoonni dubartoonni Oromoo Gulllallee, ka’aniitoo biyya kakaasuuf godhan sunis dhiyaatee ture. Waayee: iyyii iyya dabarsii fi dubbii, “uu uu uu qabi, dhayi!” sanaas isiniif kaaseen ture. Kun nuti itti-beeknaan, akka gaariitti irratti hojjannaan kan tahuu dandayu.

Mahatama Gandhi: “nuti waltaanee hundi keenya Gaara Himaalayaa irra baanee yoo gadi-fincoofne, fincaan keenya kuniyyuu koloneeffatoota Ingilizii haree haxawuun nurraa baasa.”, jedhee ture. Bara inni kana jedhe san uummanni Indiyaa kitila 400 (400 000 000) ture. Koloneeffatoonni Ingilizii fi gargaartuuwwan isaanii, miseensonni waraana Ingilzii faa yoo heddummaatan kuma dhibba lama (200 000) tahuuyyu. Ani kanan isa kana as irratti kaase, karaa nagaatiin walabummaa keenya arganna jechuuf otoo hin taane, uummanni Oromoo guddichi kun ijaaramee, tokkoomee, hidhatee sochoonan qabsoo isaa bakkaan gayachuu akka dandayu jala harriquufani.

Akkan kanaa olitti ibseetti, nuti karaa maraan ijaaramnee olkaanan, meeshaan waraanaa achuma Oromiyaa keessa ciisaa jira. Gabroomfataa meeshaa waraanaa mataa irraa hamma miilaatti hidhatee: namaa-sa’a, margaa-muka, lagaa-hara faa summeessaa, gubaa, barbadeessaa jiru irraa hiikkannee of-hidhachiifnee sochowuun namaanis, Waaqaanis eebbifamaadha!

Warri Wayyaanee fi nafxanyoonni Amaaraa isa kana balleessuuf, kan Minilik faan, Hayila-Sillaasee faan, Dargiin faa yaalanii daddhaban fiixaan-baasuuf maqaa magaalaa babaldhisuutiin, maqaa guddinaa fi misoomatiin itti-ka’ani.

Kutaa tokkoffaa irraa hanga kutaa 12-tti Afaan Oromootiin baranna. Afaan Ingilizii immooo akka afaan addunyaalessaatti barachuu san ittuma-fufna. Kana irratti dabaluun ijoolleen Habashaa kanneen Oromiyaa keessa jiraatan, Afaan Oromoo barachuu fi isaan barachuunis dirqama itti-taha. Kana irratti dabalee ijoolleen Habashaa kun bakka gamtaataan jirtuutti afaan ofiitiinis barachuun sirriidhuma.

10) Magaalaan Shaggar Oromiyaa amaaromsu irraa of-eeguu qaba. Shaggar wiirtuu fi magaaalmataa Oromiyaa waan taheef, mataan isaa Oromoomuu qaba! Sadarkaa sadarkaan Afaan Oromoo magaalaa kana keessatti dursee Oromootaaf, booda immoo namoota maraaf kennamuutu karaa qajeelaa dha. Kana irratti shoorri Mootummaan Naannoo Oromiyaa, OPDOn qabuu murteessaa dha. OPDOn “keenya” mataa olqabateetoo deemuutu isa irraa eegama. Jaarmaan kun shimala seenaa fi eeboo ekeroota gootolii Oromoo jalaa bawuuf, yeroon inni gara qeyee Oromootti, gara gaaddisa Odaa jalaatti deebiwu amma carraan isaa!

11) Warra Habsahaas tahee warri biyyoota alaa isaan manneen seedataa fi daldalaa Oromiyaa keessatti babbanatan, dabrees isaan warshaalee bu’ureeffatan yoo xiqqaate, namoota achi hojjatan keessaa dhibbayyaan 70 (70%) Oromoota tahuutu irra jira.

Biyya Oromoo keessatti nama achitti dhalatee guddate dhiisitii, qotiyoolee fi fardeen Oromootuu Afaan Oromoo ni dhagayu. Nafxanyoonni fi ijoolleen isaanii sadarkaa kanatti ofumaan of-gadi-buusuu hin qabani. Mootummaan Naannoo Oromiyaa warra manneen seedataa fi daldalaa keessa hojjataniif, barumsa Afaan Oromoo isa ariifachiisaa (“crash course”) toluma akka barataniif karaalee fi haallan mijeessufii qaba!

13) Magaalaawwan Oromiyaa isaan Oromiyaa jalaa baafamuun Toopphiyaa jalatti ramadaman kanneen akka: Finfinnee Shaggar, Jimmaa, Dirree Dhawaa faa Oromiyaa jalatti deebiyuun achumatti ramadamanii yoo barbaachisaa tahes, Oromiyaa jalatti mataa isaanii dandayuutu sirrii dha. Magaalaan biyya obbolaa keenyaa kan warra Sidaamaas, Hawaasaan bulchiinsuma Sidaamaa jalatti ramadamuu qaba. Otoo nuti dhalawwan Oromoo jirruu, otoo Dhaloonni Qubee impaayerittii-raasaan kun jiruu, abadan Oromiyaan teenya akka dullacha masqalaatti hin qircamtu! Uummanni keenya qeyee fi araddaa abbootii fi haadholii isaa irraa hin buqqifamu! Kakuu dha; laguu dha; qabsoo irraa duubatti hin deebinu!

Dubbiftoota barreeffama kanaa jaalatamoo fi sonaan kabajamoo, kunoo ani wanneen natti muldhatan isiniif dhiyeesseen jira. Kana irratti kanneen dabalamuu qaban yoo jiraatan, warri biroo dabaluu dandayu. Garuu, ee garuu yaa Oromoo kiyya dubbiin amma waraqaa kana keessatti tarreeffame, dubbii dubbisuun bira dabramuu miti. Mee adaraa hundi keenyaiyyinee, iyya harmee Oromiyaa haa dabarsinu!
