Ethiopia: A Generation at Risk, Plight of Oromo Students

September 8, 2014

HRLHA Urgent Action

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                

September 06, 2014

The human rights abuses against Oromo Students in different universities have continued unabated over the past six months- more than a hundred Oromo students were extra-judicially wounded or killed, while thousands were jailed by a special squad: the “Agazi” force

This harsh crackdown against the Oromo students, which resulted in deaths, arrests, detentions and disappearances, happened following a peaceful protest by the Oromo students and the Oromo people  in April –  May  2014 against  the so-called  “Integrated Master Plan of Addis Ababa”. This plan was targeted at the annexation of many small towns of Oromia to the capital Addis Ababa. It would have meant the eviction of around six million Oromos from their lands and long-time livelihoods without being consulted or giving consent. The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) has repeatedly expressed its deep concern about such human rights violations against the Oromo nation by the EPRDF government[1]

The HRLHA reporter in Addis Ababa confirmed that in connection with the April-May, 2014 peaceful protests among the many students picked from different universities and other places in the regional State of Oromia and  detained in Maikelawi /”the Ethiopian Guantanamo bay Detention camp” ,the following nine students and another four, Abdi Kamal, TofiK Kamal and Abdusamad   business men from Eastern Hararge Dirre Dawa town and Chaltu Duguma (F) an employee of Wallaga Universty    are in critical condition due to the continuous severe torture inflicted upon them in the past five months.Ethiopi1 HRLHA Urgent Action

Poverty on the Streets of Addis Ababa

Published on September 1st, 2014 | by Meredith Maulsby

September 2, 2014 (The baines report) — Poverty can easily be seen throughout the capital of Ethiopia, but nowhere is it more evident than when you pass a beggar on the street.  Beggars are everywhere in Addis Ababa, and they represent a vast range of demographics. There are men, women, children of all ages and conditions– some with their mothers, some without, and the severely disabled.

Older children, rather than begging, try to sell you gum or clean your shoes, while the younger children walk in front of you asking for money or food, not leaving you until they spot another person to ask.  The women are often with young children, sometimes babies, and usually with more than one.  I was once walking down the street and a young child no older than 2 or 3 who was being held by his mother made the signal they all make to ask for food or money while calling me sister.  I thought this child probably learned this signal before he even learned how to speak.  Women are often seen grilling corn on the sidewalk on a small grill to sell to people passing by.

I have been told the severely disabled have most likely suffered from stunting, polio or the war.  I have seen men with disfigured legs so mangled that they can not walk but instead drag themselves down the sidewalk. Others are in wheelchairs and unable to walk.  And this city is not easy for the disabled.  The sidewalks, where they exist, are not always flat and not always paved. There are also often giant holes in the middle of the sidewalk or loose concrete slabs covering gutters.  On the main roads, near where I’m staying there are tarps and blankets off to the side of the road where the beggars must sleep or live.

It is a very difficult scene to walk through.  You want to help them all and give everyone a little bit of money or food. But there are so many it would be nearly impossible to give to them all.  We have been told to not give to beggars because once you give to one you will be surrounded by others.  When people do give money to beggars it is often very small bills or coins that will not go very far.

I have often wondered how much money they actually receive. Perhaps it would be beneficial to do more in depth look at why these people became beggars and where they come from. After a cursory search for research and reports on beggars in Addis Ababa, I found very little.  There is a study on the disabled beggars and a report focusing on children.  There is a documentary that follows two women who come to the capital from a rural town and become beggars in order to raise money for their family when climate change creates a food shortage.

Both the government of Ethiopia and large NGO’s, like USAID and the UN, are working to stop the “cycle of poverty.”   There are major health and nutrition projects being implemented all over the country, but these are long-term projects that do not address the immediate needs of people on the streets. Short term solutions such as creating shelters or centers for the disabled and homeless could allow beggars more opportunities for housing but could also generate income potential through workshops and other skill development programs.

“አንገዛም!”

  የትዉልዱ ግልጽ አቋም!

ይህ ትዉልድ የባርነትን ሠንሠለት ሰባብሮ ፍርሃትን ገድሎ ነጻነቱን ፍለጋ እስከ ወዲያኛዉ አድማስ ጥግ እንኳ ቢሆን ለመጓዝ ወስኖ የወጣ ጀግና ትዉልድ ነዉና “አልገዛም!” ካላ ቃሉ ጽኑ ነዉ!

ነጻነትን ያረገዛ ትውልድ ግፍና ጭፍጨፋ አላቆመዉም። የደቡብ አፍርካዉ የስዌቶ  ጭፍጨፋ (the Soweto Massacre 1976 ) ፣ በኬንያ የታየዉ  የሆላ ጭፍጨፋ “Hola massacre 1959” ወይም በሃሬሮና ነማ ሕዝቦች ላይ የተፈጸመዉ የነሚቢያዉ ጅኖሳይድ  “Herero and Nama Genocide 1904” አልያም የ‘Robben Island’” እስር የትዉልዱን የነጻነት ጥያቄ እንዳልገታ ፤ የነጻነትን ብርሃን እንዳላጫለማ ታሪክ ምንጊዜም ህያዉ መስካር ነዉ።

ዛሬም ቢሆን ከማዕከላዊ እስከ ቃሊቲ፣ ከቅሊንጦ እስከ  ዝዋይ የእስር ቤቱ ቁጥር ቢባዛም ፣ የማሰቃያ ዓይነቶች ቢበራከቱም ፣ ግዲያና ሽብር ቢፋፋምም  ይህ ትዉልድ “ነጻነቴን!” ብሎ ወቷልና ፈጽሞ  የሚያቆም አይሆንም። ነጻነትን የተጠማ ትዉልድ ለእዉነት በእዉነት የሚታገል ኀያል ኃይል (Super Power) ያለዉ ባለራዕይ የነጻነት ሠራዊት እንጂ በመንደርተኞች ኣሉባልታ የሚሳናከል እርባናብስ ስብስብ አይዴለምና!

በተደጋጋሚ እንደተገለጸዉም ሆነ በታግባር እንደተረጋገጠ የትዉልዱ መሠረታዊ ዓላማ (basic Objective) የኦሮሞ ሕዝብን ብሔራዊ ነጻነትን ማረጋገጥ ነዉ። ለዚህ ዓላማ ስኬት ሕዝባችን ዘማናትን ያስቆጠረ ዉድ ዋጋ ስከፍልበት ቆይቶ አሁን ለባርነት የመጨረሻ ስንብት የሚደረግበት  ያታርክ ፊጻሜ ላይ አድርሰዉታል። ይህንን የትግል ምዕራፍ በኃላፊነት የተረከበዉ ትዉልድም ኃላፊነቱን ጠንቅቆ የሚያዉቅ ብቻ ሳይሆን ኃላፊንቱ የሚጠይቀዉን ዋጋም  (responsibility) ጭምር ለመወጣት ዝግጁ ስለመሆኑ በአደባባይ አስመስክሯል። ነጻነት በነጻ አይገኝምና ሞትና እስራት ሳይገድበዉ ርቆ ተጉዟል።

ያለነጻነት መኖር ያዉም ደግሞ በአናሳ ቡድን ነጻነትን መነጠቅ በእጅጉ የስቆጣል። ሕመሙም ጥልቅ ነዉ። ይህንን ታሪካዊ ጥላሸት ለመንጻት  እስከ አሁን የተከፈለዉን ዉድ ዋጋ  እያሰብን ከእንግዲህ ወዲያ ይህ ታርክ የህዝባችን መታወቂያ ሆኖ እንዳይቀጥል ታሪካዊ ግዴታችንን ለመወጣት እነሆ በየፍልሚያ መስኮች ሁሉ ተሰልፈናል። ነጻነቱን የጠየቀ ሕዝብ ተሻግሮ ይሄዳል። ማሸጋጋሪያ ኃይሉ ደግሞ በዘመኑ ላይ የተገኘ ትዉልድ ነዉ። ለኦሮሞ ሕዝብ ያ ትዉልድ ተነስቷል። “እምብኝ ነጻነቴ!” ብሎ ታጥቆ የወጣ ትዉልድ ተንበርካኪ አሽከሮች (Bakar Shaalee, Warqinaa Gabayyoo, Abbaa Duulaa Gammadaa, Alamaayyoo Taganuu, Abdulqaadir Huseen, Geetuu Wayyeessaa, Mohammad Tusaa, Isheetuu Dassee…) በሚያሰሙት ጭንቀት ወለድ  ሠሞነኛ ጩሃት ይቅርና  የቅኝ ገዢዎችን በታሊዮን ሠራዊት እንኳን ቢሆን   በትኖ የሚያልፍ ፣ ሞትን የደፈረ   ፣ በደሙ ጎርፍ  ሕያዉ ታርካዊ ዝክርን ጽፎ የሚያልፍ በዘማናት ዉስጥ አንዴ ብቻ የሚገኝ ፍርሃት ዓልባ ብርቅዬ ትውልድ ነዉ።

በመሆኑም በቀጥታም ሆነ   በተዘዋዋሪ ፣ ከዉስጥም ይሁን ከዉጭ ዛሬ የኦሮሞን የነጻነት ትግል ለማደናቀፍ ለሚትሹ ኃይሎች በሙሉ መልስ አለን። መልሳችን ኃይልን በኃይል ለማስቆም የደፈረ ትዉልድ መነሳቱ ነዉ። ይህ ትዉልድ የባርነትን ሠንሠለት ሰባብሮ ፍርሃትን ገድሎ ነጻነቱን ፍለጋ እስከ ወዲያኛዉ አድማስ ጥግ እንኳ ቢሆን ለመጓዝ ወስኖ የወጣ ጀግና ትዉልድ ነዉና “አልገዛም!” ካላ ቃሉ ጽኑ ነዉ!

ይህ የትዉልዱ ግልጽ አቋም ነዉ።

ሕይዋታችን ለነጻነታችን!!
