Gross Human right violations and destruction of oromo elites In Ethiopia
According to different sources and eye witness, 17 Oromo journalists of the Oromia Radio and Television Organization (ORTO) have been forced out of their jobs as of June 25, 2014.
The journalists say they have received no prior notices and learned of their fates on Wednesday morning (June 25, 2014) when the security at the gate prevented them from entering the station’s compound located in Adama.
Members of the management informed the journalists that they could not help them as the decision to terminate their employments and the list of names came from the federal government. According Human rights watch reports and other International Medias showed us the
Intercepted communications have been used to crack down on opposition party members, political dissidents, journalists and young members of the ethnic Oromo population.
In one
instance, an unidentified Oromo man recounted what happened when he was arrested. The authorities knew everyone he had communicated with through
his cellphone, and even described conversations he had with his friends and
associates in detail.
"'If you are talking through this telephone, we record all
conversations,'" the authorities told him, according to the Human right
watch report.
Using political violence, the Tigrayan government has completely dominated and controlled the oromo and their resource.
