 Preface
No one is completely independent after birth; we are all interdependent. We
live mutual lives; life alone has no flavor. The meaning of our lives comes from
outside us. From the meals and drink we consume, to our social ties, we de-
pend on both other humans and our environment. We are lonely infant. Who
is born and grows up by oneself without a mothers and fathers help? Even if
humans are very little like ant, they can learn from them. Ants are the kings
of both insects and animals by assisting each other. Oceans are created from a
drop of water, but they have different names, depth, width, resources, and etc

I remember some advice which says, do not give fish to someone who begs
you to give him fish; take him to a river or a sea and show him how to catch
the fish if you want to help him, and then give him a trap he will catch the
fish with that trap by himself. This is the real help. But, if you always give fish
to someone who begs you for fish, you are harming both you and the person
who is begging you. There are many hands raised to need help and assistance
in different directions of the world from Western and developed countries.
Especially, foreign aid is becoming a way of life for Africa even though Af-
rica has the best climates and resources. At the same time, thousands of
African youth are dying in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Seas
fish are feeding on Africans flesh. The weapons which are produced be-
yond the Mediterranean Sea are eating Africans flesh in Africa. Fish are
eating Africans flesh; fishermen are catching these fish. Humans are eat-
ing these fish, and, as a result, people are eating human flesh. We need
real help to stop this; we do not want bloody handed aid, gambling in the
aid, or invisible wrong hands We need help in the form of solutions
for both internal and external problems. Specifically, there are thousands
of Oromo youth who are exiled and escaping from their country Oromia
(Ethiopia) because of oppression on themselves and their nation Oromo.

Thousands of Oromos and other Ethiopian people have been imprisoned,

killed, exiled, marginalized, or grabbed by Ethiopian emperors and dicta-
tors since the 19th century. Even today, Ethiopian prison camps are filled
with Oromos, and most of the Ethiopian immigrants who have died and are
dying in the Mediterranean Sea are Oromo. In fact, its not only an Oromo
problem; its almost all Africas horrible problem. Concerning this issue, an
Oromo young man wrote a letter of freedom for all 80 nations, nationalities
and people of Ethiopia, the African Union (AU), the United States of Amer-
ica (US) and Western countries, etc. To know the real meaning of having
sex and freedom requires self involvement; nobody can give us freedom, but

13
someone can help us. This young African man wrote a multi-lingual free-
dom letter in English, Oromo and Amharic languages. This young Oromo
African man is me. I have written many articles in three languages on blogs
and social media over a span of a few years. I have compiled and included
some of them to this book. I strongly believe you will be informed and un-
derstand many things from this book. But be patient when you feel pain; to
telling the truth is like massaging painful areas for the purpose of healing.

Daniel G.Areri.

Chapter one: Boqonnaa Tokko
1.Freedom Letter: Xalayaa Bilisummaa
1.1.Message to Oromo people
I remember Dr. Marera Gudinas quote, The God and the Whites help a
person who helps himself. Dear Oromo of my homeland, without freedom
we are nothing. Without freedom, your property, knowledge, family, edu-
cation, country, reputation, guarantees, plans, and last, but not least, your
precious lives are in danger. My dear people, we all thirst for freedom, but
freedom is not fetched from the river like water. Freedom is not bought from
the super market like a commodity. Freedom is not a gift given to us by oth-
ers. We need freedom, but freedom is not free; it requires sacrifice. Nobody
can give us readymade freedom and sex we must contribute toward freedom
just like we must contribute toward sex to receive satisfaction. Therefore,
what must we do to free ourselves and our country? Why do we wait for a
solution from others? We should not wait for America, Europe, Amnesty
International, Human Rights Watch, the African Union, the European Un-
ion, etc. The process of achieving freedom starts with our minds at home.

How do we liberate our mind first? Liberating our mind starts with know-
ing, respecting and having a feeling for our identity, language, culture, prop-
erty, country, people, beliefs, etc. After we have liberated our minds, it is easy
to come together for the same vision and mission. Then, we will achieve true
unity. We will overcome every challenge even if our bodies are little like ants.
We should not forget, an ocean comes from each drop of water. We must com-
bine each drop of our struggle to make an ocean of luxurious, guaranteed, and
valuable life, as we shift our country from a dictatorial to a democratic and
developed country. Therefore, soon everybody should do what he/she can.
Ants
Among mammals,
amphibians,
reptiles, and
insects, which is
a king of kings?
All togetherness,
fibers become rope,
that ties huge things,
unity with mass.
Take a course

19
 from the king of kings,
namely black ants.
By Daniel G.Areri 2009,
Adama-Oromia (Ethiopia.)
My dear Oromo people, many centuries ago, all Oromos were ruled un-
der the Gadaa institution which consists of social, political, religious,
and economic principles. The Gadaa system was/is both traditional and
modern democratic governance.Even today in some of the Oromia zones,
Oromos are ruled by the Gadaa governance although there are govern-
ment sectors there. The most important message that I want to deliver is,
early in the beginning, Oromos had unity among themselves as well as
they had strong power, because Oromos were not divided based on reli-
gion, political views, assimilation, etc. To be respected by others, power is
very essential. In order to get power, we have to have unity. Nowadays, ac-
cording to my point of view, our power has been taken because of differ-
ent views and religions. Especially, we must boldly think about religion. If
you think from my point of view, religion is one of the factors which we
must tackle to gain power. We Oromos have three majors religions: Waqef-
fataa, Christian and Islam. When we talk about our struggle as Oromos,
I think we must leave religion out of our struggle. Religion is personal,
but when we allow it to divide us as a people, we are defeating ourselves.
I am not criticizing religion; however, we must focus on our common val-
ues like our rights, language, culture, identity, political views and so on.
Especially, we, the young generation, should learn from past mistakes
which happened during some of the former Oromo struggles when they
tried to connect Oromos struggle with religion we cannot be one by
seeing through a glass of religion; we have different outlooks and visions
about religion because religion is belief. When we divide based on reli-
gion, we are enhancing our differences and division is an erosion of nation.

In addition, we are dying because of our resources. Emperors and dicta-

tors have shifted their regime from time to time in order to rob, exploit,
and destroy our resources, identity, culture and language. Our land has
been robbed. Our people have been displaced. Our minerals have been
exploited; minerals are not replaced. Who expects a baby from an old
woman whose menstruation has gone? Our intellectuals have been ar-
rested, killed, tortured, exiled and marginalized from all political, eco-
nomical and social activities and so on. Our rivers have become tox-
ic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3vvy8xsqeM&spfreload=10

20
In our home country, the Tigrain People Liberation Front (TPLF) govern-
ment labels almost all Oromo watchful intellectuals to the Oromo Libera-
tion Front (OLF) in order to paralyze the Oromo struggle machine. The
TPLF has sharpened its knife with the Wests knife sharpening stone or
aid. The TPLF has ratified the nations slaughter knife of law under the
shadow of anti-terrorism law. Oromos and other innocent Ethiopian people
are slaughtering with the TPLFs sharpest knife. Dear OLF, I am begging
you in the name of vast Oromo nations, do not be divided into different
political parties. The TPLF does not separate Oromo into parties; rather it
labels all alert Oromos as OLF. I have understood one thing from the the
TPLF point of view towards OLF. OLF goes beyond parties; while the TPLF
was terrorizing me by the use of the OLF name without my OLF member-
ship, it (OLF) sealed in my heart the meaning of patriotism, national-
ism, and passion for nation and country, as well as the love of being pure
Oromo, having self confidence, teaching the Oromo language, writing the
Oromo language, appreciating Oromo culture, protecting Oromo rights
and our own identities, celebrating Irecha, protecting animals and the land,
and thinking about the future destiny of Oromia and Oromo land, etc.

Dear OLF, the past is past. I am not blaming you, but we should learn
from our past faults. A single person can kill a nation, but it is un-
likely a single person can save a nation. Sometimes, the opportunity
is like an egg and hens feces which come through the same holewhen
you needed awareness of your nation, the nations consciousness was
very low. Inversely, now, while peoples awareness has come to a peak,
your physical involvement is low. Please, do not focus on the division to
solve this problem and its challenges; rather, its better to think about
how to connect the struggles electricity to the peoples train of freedom.

1.2.Message to Oromo, Amhara, Tigire, Ogaden, Afar,Gambella,

Gumuz, SPNN
In the home country Ethiopia, Ethiopian peoples stone is broken, because this
stone was cracking by the hammer of emperors and dictators. But, most peo-
ple couldnt see it in the dark dictatorial and tyrannical regime. Many of us are
seeing with critical eyes. Nobody can sew the broken stone with a backward
needle even though some are talking about stitching this broken stone of peo-
ple. They may pierce themselves while trying to sew the broken stone. Again,
they may add additional damage, i.e. breaking the broken stone of people into
pieces. Wise people build the best home with big broken stones by placing
the corner stone according to its value, shape, strength, height, thickness, etc.
21
While abroad, I saw that the Ethiopian corner stone has been broken into
four parts with many cracks: Oromo, Amara, Tigre, and Ogaden. These
broken stones have taken to different places in order to build different
homes. Different engineers are assigned with different designs. So, how
can we expect the same homes from these different engineers? I remem-
ber another example while I think again and again about the final destiny
of Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Everybody knows how marriage ties differ-
ent persons together and how it is vital in life. But, if there is no agree-
ment and love, a court orders the divorce in the civilized world. If hus-
band and wife always cannot agree with each other, or when their life is
always full of conflict, it is better to separate without violation. Is it not?

Dear world medium, the Oromo people are the largest ethnic group in
East Africa. This ethnic group is settled in the horn of Africa, but millions
of Oromos have been exiled to abroad, especially to the West because of
the tyranny of emperors and dictators through different regimes. In Ethi-
opia alone, Oromo constitutes 40% of the total population. Ethiopia has
more than 80 nations and nationalities as well as languages. Its estimated
that Oromo includes more than 45 million of the 90 million total popu-
lation of Ethiopia. Research shows that the Oromo language is the third
most widely spoken African native language next to Hausa and Kiswahili.
But, Oromo has been marginalized in Ethiopia since the colonial period.

Additionally, the Oromo language was also banned by former Ethiopian

Emperors and dictators for a century. Many years ago, Oromo developed its
democratic political and social institution, namely the Gadaa system. But
during the late 19th century, the Abyssinian King Minelik II acquired Euro-
pean modern weapons and conquered the vast Oromo land. Historians say
Minelik II executed five million Oromos. He tried to destroy Oromo identi-
ties and used the assimilation method in addition to massacring Oromos and
other ethnic groups. Abyssinians changed peoples land and nations names by
labeling them with offensive terms. His ancestor, Emperor Hailesilassie, also
continued to behave in a similar manner as Abyssinians king; i.e., he banned
other languages except Amharic although he knew the Oromo language.
Fortunately, Amharic was from the Abyssinian royal family.People were

22
beaten and forced to speak AmharicHailesilassie exploited the Ethio-
pian people mind through psychology by saying he was represented by
Godthey created the nonsense quote, the King never accused; the sky
never plowed During emperor Hailesilassies regime; he established
good relationships with Western governments. I think this is the rea-
son why the media started broadcasting in the Amharic language. But,
now, thanks to our heroes and patriots, their sacrifices have paved the
way for Oromo language development. Nowadays, Afaan Oromo (the
Oromo language) has been thriving very well. Research shows more
than 20 million school children have been learning the Oromo language
as their mother tongue in primary school in Ethiopia. The Study of the
Oromo language is offered in some Ethiopian Universities up to a Ph.D.

Here are some questions from the mouths of millions of Oromos. Recently,
scholars have said that media is four estates of a country next to legisla-
tive, executive and judiciarymedia is a channel to transfer messages to
mass audiences. I am not asking you about your objective of broadcasting
in many languages, but I am asking you what your requirements are when
you choose broadcasting languages? Is your aim to transmit messages to the
masses? Millions of Oromos are staring at you by lending their ears to you.

1.4. Message to United States of America (USA)

I often hear the quote, When America sneezes, the whole world catches
cold. America, you know all about the Oromo struggle. You know, about
the London conference after Mengistu Hailemariam escaped to Zimbabwe
in 1991. You know about the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). You know how
the Tigrai People Liberation Front (TPLF) created a forged Oromo organi-
zation named the Oromo People Democratization Organization (OPDO),
which most Oromo nationalists call the Oromo People Demoralization/
Diseases Organization. You know, in the late 1990s, while the OLF leaders
escaped from the country, lands controlled and administered by OLF were
given to Ethiopian People Democratization Revolutionary Front (EPDRF) of
TPLF. You know, the Oromos have been massacred for more than a century.
You know, millions of the Oromo people have been migrating to the rest of
the worlds countries. You know, near to half of the Ethiopian population is
Oromo. You know, the Oromo language is not only a widely spoken language
in Ethiopia, but also in East Africa. Many scholars say that the Oromo lan-
guage is the third most spoken African language next to Hausa and Kiswa-
hili. The Oromo language is now an official language of Ethiopian prisoners.

You know, the Tigrean political elites (TPLF) hold all the keys to Ethio-
pian power for only themselves among 80 nations, nationalities and peo-
ple of Ethiopia. They control not only political power, but all Ethiopian re-
sources for themselves while other Ethiopians are suffering from poverty,
injustice, tyranny, etc. The TPLF is planting building forests in cities in-
cluding Addis Ababa by displacing the mass of people in the fake name of
development. Development should bring changes for societies. You know,
the TPLF has buried the hatred bomb among the Ethiopians, especially
among the Oromo, Tigre and Amhara. If the bomb is not handled care-
fully, it will explode very soon. It has value helping people in exact time
and places, but it is nonsense to pretending, mourning and exaggerat-
ing on a dead body. You know, without answering the Oromo questions,
not only Ethiopia, but also east Africa cannot achieve sustainability and
peace. You know, near to half of the Ethiopian population is Oromo
and half of the Oromo people are Muslim; therefore, to be a Muslim is
not to be an enemy of America. But some poor-minded people think so.

You and we know about U.S. interests in East Africa, including Ethiopia. The
former Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi made himself the messen-
ger of the West in East Africa. He was first in line to fight against Alshabab

24
in order to get acceptance by the Westerns, and he tried to compensate for
his bad record in the West or U.S. view. You know, everybody wants to make
his/her own interests first. Our (Oromo) rights were overidden between two
different mutual interests. You may know, Abyssinians established Addis
Ababa by massacring Oromo tribes like Gulelle, Yekka and Gelan a century
ago. Ever since Abyssinians conquered Oromos with the support of Europe-
an modern weapons, the Oromo people have been marginalized in Ethiopia,
especially in cities and towns since these cities and towns were established
by the Abyssinian emperors. TPLF has also followed their ancestors strat-
egies like displacing, killing, arresting, castrating, torturing, etc. Oromos.

1.4.1. Oromos Land Grabbing

You know, recently, Tigrean political elites displaced the city of Ad-
dis Ababa (Finfinnee) in the name of fake development. They took and
owned all key places of Addis Ababa, especially after the 2010 Ethio-
pian election. They deformed Addis Ababa accordingly and they moved
to grab Oromos lands surrounding Addis Ababa in the name of an in-
tegrated development master plan. In 2014 while Oromo students
started to protest the master plan in non-violent demonstrations, the
Ethiopian security forces opened fire on students and killed a lot of stu-
dents and others in broad daylight in front of parents and other people.

During the Ambo Massacre, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Ad-
dis Ababa. The government killed hundreds of students and people, but
after Kerrys departure, the government may kill thousands more. Kill-
ings, tortures, arrests, harassments, etc. continue. Photos of Oromo Ad-
dis Ababa University student slogans read, We have been killed while
John Kerry is in Addis. Look! How young minds respect America.

John Kerry was in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia while the government has killed Oromo
students in Ambo and Bale Robe (April 29 and 30, 2014).

You know, there is no freedom of speech in Ethiopia. We have a constitution

although the TPLF has changed the concepts of our constitution through its
fake proclamations. Ethiopian people are kept in a fence of fear. All medium,
especially all electronic medium, are owned by the government itself. Imagine
the government or TPLF is secretly opening commercial media in the name
of private business. Professionalism is dead in Ethiopia. Except pump line
journalists, all of them are dismissed or fired, jailed, exiled, demoralized, etc.
Even, the government has infiltrated churches, Mosques, Gadaa organiza-
tions and traditional institutions. The Ethiopian government is accuser and
judge; as well as players and judge. You know of all the pressure which has
been applied to the Oromo people. We are not a field of wheat which is always

26
harvested for others interests. We need democracy; we want to live freely in
our country. However, TPLF kisses all Ethiopians in front of Westerners, but
it kills them at homeIn summary, I believe, if TPLF could control oxy-
gen for breathing, it would ask Oromos and other Ethiopians for payment!
You, United States, we know as you know; we are telling you that you know!
Paper Perfection

Writing perfect,
talking sweet,
performance is different.
Opening Western music,
dancing an African dance,
having a couple of knives.
One is sharp,
the other is not.
Killing during the night,
weeping in the morning light.
What type of alignment?
In our continent,
particularly in my department.

 1.6. Message to AU (African Union)

Dear Africa, maybe the blessed natural resources or weather conditions of

Africa make us lazy while others originate technology as a result of strug-
gling with the hardship of life. Challenge itself is a college. For instance,
the challenges of weather conditions on other continents could be a rea-
son for their changes, unlike Africa with its exploitation of others resources
through colonization. Again, challenges open a door for business for other
continents. Business has its own calculation in the democratic and developed
countries, but in Africa authority is the main way to calculate not only busi-
ness but others I am African; I am Oromo. I heard and read that during
the colonial period, almost all African countries failed under colonization
except Ethiopia and Liberia. Although Ethiopia was not colonized by Eu-
ropeans for a long period of time as other African countries were, we Oro-
mos were/are under the inside Abyssinian colonizers. Abyssinians obtained
modern weapons from Europeans and then they conquered Oromos. They
distorted ancient Oromo democratic governance called the Gadaa system,
but they could not diminish Gadaa from all Oromo lands. Thanks to al-
mighty God, we are left with a pure Gadaa heritage in Gujii and Booranaa.

1.6.1. Gadaa System

Democracy is not new for us.

Ancient civilization
makes all things democratization.
Even during a war,

And one head.
Hair, skin, blood,

Ayyaanaa is also based on human creation,

In our philosophy
Let us carefully see
The Oromo renaissance!
By Daniel G.Areri in 2011
Adama-Oromia (Ethiopia)

Infographic about the Oromo. Photo credit: www.afaan.com.au

According to some researchers findings, Oromo covers above 40% of the

total population of Ethiopia. And again, 60% of the total economy comes
from resources which are found in the Oromia region. The Oromo lan-
guage is also the third most widely spoken African language by its natives.
But, Oromo has been marginalized in Ethiopia since the colonial period.
The main cause of Oromo collapsing was that Oromo had no connection
with foreigners through trades, oceans, and borders. On the other hand,

30
Abyssinians obtained modern weapons from Europeans. By using Euro-
pean civilization as a model, Abyssinians destroyed the Oromo civiliza-
tion (for example, the democratic governance-Gadaa system). Not only
Oromo, but all of Africa was broken by European guns, steel and germs.
After the Oromos were conquered and colonized by Abyssinians with
the help of Europeans, almost all of Oromos identities were diminished.
These Abyssinians colonizers left a bad scar on Ethiopian history, especially,
Menelik the II, who conquered all local lords and created todays Ethiopia.
While some Ethiopian people have praised Menelik for forming todays
Ethiopia, some have condemned him because he killed millions of Ethio-
pians, particularly Oromos. Again, Menelik has been criticized because he
sold Ethiopian port lands like Djibouti and Eritrea for the France and for
Italy. Even though there are about 80 nations and nationalities in Ethio-
pia, after Menelik the II, Abyssinians implemented their policy of One
country-Ethiopia, one language -Amharic, and one religion-Orthodox.
They exploited by using their wrong policy which denied pluralism. In the
regime of the feudal system of Ethiopia, Ethiopian farmers were given a
one-third dividend of agricultural products while one-third was reserved
for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and one-third was given to the feudal
government. Again, most Ethiopian farmers were moved from their own
lands, and Oromo people were/are highly affected by Abyssinian leadership.
According to some historians, Menelik killed 5 million Oromos, and Oromo
was even banned from modern education in the Abyssinian emperors pe-
riod. During the rule of Emperor Hailesilassie, the Prime Minister of Min-
isters, Aklilu Habtewold said to General Tadesse Birru, Tadesse, do not
give opportunities of education to Oromos. We have to draw them back
at least for a century. If they get opportunities of education, they will be
watchful. They are an ocean in mass numbers; therefore, they will swal-
low us in the future Aklilu Habtewold unknowingly ordered the silent
killing of Oromos to an Oromo man-General Tadesse Birru. Because of
their inferiority complex, Abyssinians have silently declared genocide on
Oromos and Oromos identities...General Tadesse Birru was a man who
trained Nelson Mandela when he came to Ethiopia to get military training...
Oromo have been helping others and have been struggling since the 19th
Century; unfortunately, Oromo has not received its reward for struggling.

Abyssinians not only tried to destroy nations, nationalities and people of

Ethiopia, but they also tried to destroy African history. Menelik participated
in the slave trade. Europeans called him the greatest slave trade entrepreneur
ever known in Africa. Menelik personally sold Ethiopians of black skin to

31
Arab slave traders. In addition, he generated income by taxing other slave
traders in Ethiopia who sold millions of non-Abyssinian Ethiopians to Arab
slave merchants (http://shagarindex.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/incarnat-
ing-abyssinian-hitlers-through-music). Recently Menelik was named Afri-
can-Hitler by Ethiopian historians. Another shameful and wrong premise
is,that these Abyssinians belong themselves to Caucasians rather than Afri-
cans. After the battle of Adwa, Pan Africanist Benito Sylvian came to Addis
Ababa in order to ask for the emperor leadership for the reputation of the
black people. But emperor Menelik denied his blackness. He told the whole
world that he was Caucasian, not black, although he was darky black. Not only
Menelik, but emperor Hailesilassie confirmed Meneliks view. John H. Spen-
cer, stated that the Ethiopians did not regard themselves as Africans, but as a
mixed Hamito-Semetic people. (John H. Spencer, Ethiopia at Bay 1984:306).

1.8.Was Menelik II white or Caucasian? And what about Hailesi-

lassie the king of Judah?

Menelik denied being black and chased away many Pan-Africanists from
Abyssinia and continued with his genocide of Black Africans from Oromo
and Southern Ethiopia. Abyssinians are still following their great grandfa-
thers footsteps. Habashas shamelessly claim they are bastard children from
the whores of the Queen Sheba of Abyssinia and an Israeli man called Solo-
mon. It is a great shame when a person insults himself by saying he is an ille-
gitimate child as a result of adultery. But, how do they think that they are not
black while their color of skin tells us they are. According to Oromo philoso-
phy, not only our color but also our God is black. I think they have looked
to religious pictures of white Jesus Christ and Mary which were drawn and
painted by most known artists like Leonardo da Vinci; they may favor the
white color to others although nobody has seen God. The Bible says that
God created humans in His image, not color. If God has color, we have many
Gods. On the other hand, I strongly believe that Jesus Christ and Mary were
not as beautiful as the painted pictures by artists, and everybody knows that
the camera was not invented at the time. Nobody knows the color of Je-
sus Christ and his mother Mary. Some archeologists say that Jesus Christ
and ancient Egyptian color are similar, but the ancient Pharaoh was not the
white Arab of todays Egypt. Rather, he was a black Cush. Oromo is one the
Cushitic speaking groups of people. The Cushitic speakers have inhabited
North-Eastern Africa as long as recorded history. The land of Cush was/is
Nubia-the ancient Ethiopia in the middle and lower Nile and also it was/is
the home of the Cushitic speakers. Oromo is one of the Cushitic groups that
32
spread southwards and then east and west, occupying large parts of the Horn
of Africa. Many scholars state that Oromo existed as a community of people
for thousands of years in East Africa (Prouty et al, 1981, Bates 1979). But,
some Abyssinian writers and historians stereotypically wrote and said that
Oromo came from abroad and does not belong to Cushitic speakers families.
While the foreign scholars were/are writing the true history of the Oromo
people, the Abyssinian writers selectively wrote against the Oromo peo-
ple; I think they have a phobia of mass societies. They belong themselves
to Israeli or the best selected tribes by God. Emperor Haile Silassie also
called himself king of Judah although he grew up by drinking Oromo cow
milk in Eastern Oromia-Harar. Please see this link: http://youtu.be/M7kAf-
S8QCv8. These Abyssinians or Habeshas have the ideology of they are better
than other nations and nationalities. They claim that they were not colo-
nized by Europeans, but they were victims of the colonial eras mentality.

While Hailesilassie was exiled to Britain, Ethiopias brave were fighting

Mussolini of Italy in their home country. Most of the brave fighters were
Oromos. Look: L. Colonel Abdisa Aga, General Tadesse Birru, Balcha
Abba Nafso, Qusi Dinagde (Abba Mala), Gerasu Dhuki, and others like
Basha Awalom of Tigrai. Unfortunately, after these brave Ethiopians de-
feated the Italian invading army, the mighty British installed Hailesilassie
back in power. Ethiopian patriots thought the Emperor would recognize
their bravery and promote them, but he executed many of them because
of the tension from fearing them. Why do these Abyssinians or Habesha
think that they are superior to other Ethiopian or African nations? Why do
Habeshas whores not leave their toxic ideology even in the 21st century? Still
they are displacing Oromos and other nations and nationalities from their
lands and cities. They want to keep their ideological toxic superiority and
use resources and power only among themselves instead of sharing equally.

Concerning their activities, the thing which should be emphasized is that,

during the colonial era, Europeans would select some group from within a
nation and assign them as better than their fellow country men and women in
order to create conflicts among them for their divide and rule policy. It was
this kind of colonial tactic which led Rwanda to genocide and to civil wars
in other parts of world. I think they have not yet understood what happened
in Rwanda. If they knew what happened in Rwanda, they would restrain
themselves from such toxic ideology and share resources and power equally.
After the emperor Hailesilassie, a military group led by Mengistu Haile-
mariam came to power by swallowing other groups who struggled for

33
freedom. Mengistu Hailemariam made an alliance with the Soviet Russian
Federation, and he promoted a communism political ideology. In addition,
he continued using only the Amharic language just like the former Ethio-
pian emperor; other Ethiopian languages were ignored including the first
widely spoken language in Ethiopia-the Oromo language. Oromos moved
from previous tyrants to another. Most Oromos and other Ethiopian people
were assassinated, jailed, and buried in mass graves. Since then, Ethiopian
prisons have become a place where the Oromo language is widely spoken
although we Oromos have been waiting for the Oromo language to be des-
ignated as an Ethiopian official language like Amharic. Afaan Oromoo (the
Oromo Language) holds third and fourth rank by numerous native speak-
ers and is among the widely spoken languages of Africa. In Ethiopia, Afaan
Oromoo is the most widely spoken language by native and other speakers.

After the collapse of Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1991, an Ethiopian transi-

tional government was established by three freedom fighters, namely OLF
(Oromo Liberation Front), TPLF (Tigrian Peoples Liberation Front), and
EPLF (Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front). The TPLF formed several other
ethnic based political groups from prisoners it had released and put them
all under a controlled umbrella which is called the EPRDF (Ethiopian Peo-
ples Revolutionary Democratic Front). Again, the TPLF collected captives
who spoke the Oromo language and created the OPDO (Oromo People
Democratic Organization) but the OPDO was given a funny name from
the Oromo nationalists. That is, Oromo nationalists said OPDO means
Oromo Demoralization/Diseases Organization. The main aim of the
creation of OPDO was to undermine the OLF because of Oromo-phobia.
I do not know why these Abyssinian Habeshas highly fear Oromos since
Oromos have the best record in history of tolerating and living in peace
with others. I think the main purpose of their activities was/is to rob our
resources. But now, they are teaching us evil; I do not know whether we
have learned or not. We were/are dying for our resources since Menilik the
II. Most of the time, if you have plenty of resources, you or your lands and
home can be surrounded by enemies. We know that the Abyssinians lands
are full of rocks and mountains. It is not safe and fair to deform our identi-
ties, language, lands, struggles, etc. in order to fulfill their goal or needs.
The TPLF has distorted the OLF struggle because if a father of a home is
around, a thief does not easily steal or rob from families. After the transition-
al government was established, all two fighters had agreed to encamp their
militaries until they could be properly transitioned into a national army.
Eventually, the TPLF began harassing and assassinating OLFs members. In

34
1992, the OLF announced that it was withdrawing from the transitional gov-
ernment because of the harassment and assassination of its members. The
government, with the fake name of EPRDF, began relaxing from Oromo-
phobia and sent raiding parties to OLF soldiers. The ensuing arrests and kill-
ings greatly reduced the OLFs fighting power. Many thousands of its fight-
ers were immediately arrested and thousands were killed in the raids on the
camps. But, some OLF soldiers were purposely kept out of the camps by their
commanders due to suspicion and mistrust of the Abyssinian Habeshass
government with the fake name EPRDF. Unfortunately, the EPRDF gained
superiority in numbers and weaponry; eventually, the OLF troops became
guerilla fighters. Now, the TPLF is swimming in a blood pond of history. It
continues in the line of its Abyssinians ancestor line today. During the tran-
sitional government of Ethiopia, the powerful invisible hands and EPLF de-
ceived the OLF and took the side of TPLFs fake combination name EPRDF...

OLFs efforts began to shine on the land of Oromo during the transitional
government of Ethiopia. Although the OLF was given a position of ministry
of education, information, etc. for a short period of time, OLF planted new
generations in Oromia who were/are proud of their identities forever. This
generation is called Qubee Generation for those who learned in their own
native languages during primary school. If the OLF had not been there in the
formation of the transitional government of Ethiopia, I suspect that the Abys-
sinian Habeshas would have continued education in the Geiz alphabet or in
the Amharic language. I recently read a magazine which was written by Habe-
shas during the Ethiopian transitional government that consisted of a nega-
tive opinion towards Oromos and other nations that use the Latin alphabet.
They were condemning people who did not take Habashas language as their
own language by saying, black French, which means the black foreigners.

All the events which I have raised above are history for me. I was a reader of
Ethiopian history up to this period or point. Now, I am going to come out
of the previous history. I want to tell my own testimony of the TPLF regime
which will be tomorrows Ethiopian history, and I also want to participate in
future Ethiopian history. When the Ethiopian transitional government was
established in 1991, I was a seven year old boy. Now, I am over 30 years old.
I have faced the bitter life of being an Oromo in Ethiopia under the TPLF
regime. I share some characteristics of oppression with the ancient Oromos
who were oppressed by Abyssinians more than a century ago with the dif-
ference being, thanks to the OLFs efforts, I received my primary education
in my native language (Oromo). From the early beginning and even now,

35
the Abyssinians have created a nightmare with Oromo-phobia while they
have been robbing and living with us on our land because of our generosity.

I think Abyssinians are terrified by their own minds, because they know
what they did before. They continued on their previous ways instead of
erasing their bad historic scar on the Ethiopian peoples minds, even on
our land. These other Ethiopian people were banned from modern edu-
cation. But after the withdrawal of emperor Hailessilassie, these other
oppressed Ethiopian people have been sending their numerous children
to modern schools. An educated man has the eyes of a critic. An Oro-
mo proverb says, Qoreen qoree hin waraantu; namni garuu qoree qo-
reen waransisuuf yaale ofiif waranama.-which means one thorn cannot
pierce another thorn; but a person who tries two thorns to pierce one or
two; rather he is pierced himself. I think the message is clear that in the
21st century an oppressors act hurts the oppressor because the 21st Cen-
tury critical mind and technologies have no place for hiding evil doing.

In the Ethiopian parliament, no member of EPDRF is allowed to raise any

negative question in the Parliamentary Assembly; this is considered a thin
informal order, but in reality it is silent huge command from the TPLF po-
litical elites. In current Ethiopian politics, not only the key positions, but
all key Ethiopian resources are held by the TPLF (Tigrians people Libera-
tion Front). TPLF also continues killing, arresting, exiling, castrating, and
torturing Oromo and other Ethiopian people just like Ethiopian emperors
did in the past. Especially, TPLF has had a hidden genocide agenda against
the Oromo people since the 1990s. A false Oromo organization, called the
OPDO (Oromo People Democratic Organization), which some Oromo
nationalists sarcastically call the Oromo People Disease/Demoralize Or-
ganization, was created in order to disorganize Oromos and rob Oromo
resources by using this fake organization as a puppet. Uneducated people
can be deceived by this puppet organization just like babies, but an edu-
cated person cannot be deceived easily except some Judas who sell their
nations with blood or money. On the other hand, TPLF knows that an edu-
cated Oromo cannot keep quiet when Oromo people are oppressed by oth-
ers. Because of these facts, the TPLF continues killing, arresting, torturing,
and exiling educated Oromos in order to easily exploit Oromos resourc-
es. We know, we are dying because of the natural gifts of our resources.

Dear AU, you know that the AU headquarter is found in Addis Ababa (Fin-
finnee). The history of Addis Ababa city and the Oromo people is like blood

36
and the milk of a cow-you cannot differentiate the source. When the Abys-
sinians conquered Oromo and occupied Oromo land including Addis Ababa
through the use of European modern guns, three of Oromos tribes (Gule-
lle, Gelan, and Yekka) were massacred and diminished by the Abyssinians.
Today, these three tribes names are used as Addis Ababa administration
district names. The Oromo people were/are marginalized from benefiting
from the social, economic and political life, especially in big cities like Ad-
dis Ababa. The Oromo people are under tyranny for more than one and half
centuries. In addition, the Oromo people were/are struggling for more than
half of a century in a formal way. While most other African countries were
fighting against European colonialists, Oromos were fighting against inside
Abyssinians colonialists. These Abyssinians do not have an African spirit.
Dear AU, the Oromo people were/are fighting these insider colonialists for
a long time using different strategies. You know how three Ethiopian front
fighters established the transitional government of Ethiopia in the 1990s.
You may know how the Tigrians or TPLF aborted the Oromo struggle by
creating forged Oromo parties called OPDO (Oromo People Democratic
Organization which many Oromo nationalists nicknamed the Oromo Peo-
ple Demoralization/Disease Organization) to weaken the Oromo Libera-
tion Front (OLF). Since then, it seems that to be an awakened Oromo is a si-
lent crime in Ethiopia. If you are an awakened Oromo, you were/are accused
in the name of OLF. In order to disorganize the Oromo people because
of Oromo-phobia, the TPLF or Ethiopian government labeled the OLF as
a terrorist organization. In addition, the government has started to terrify
Oromos. TPLF has killed, jailed and exiled a lot of Oromo people. See the
brutal acts of Ethiopian security forces against Oromo students and people:

The Oromo language, which ranked third in number of native speak-

ers in Africa after Hausa and Kiswahili, is, unfortunately, now an official
language of Ethiopian prisoners. As you may know, most African lead-
ers are dictators and consider authority to be the main source of their in-
come. TPLF is also following this method. After the establishment of the
transitional government of Ethiopia, TPLF or Tigrians ethnic and politi-
cal elites, controlled both key positions of power and Ethiopian resources.
While they are planting a building forest in Addis Ababa, the poor socie-
ties are leaving Addis Ababa and others towns and cities in Ethiopia. After
they have displaced Addis Ababas people and the city itself, they moved
to grab the Oromo lands surrounding Addis Ababa under the shadow of
an integrated development master plan. Meanwhile, when university stu-
dents awoke and started protesting against TPLFs evil and fake doing, the
Ethiopian security forces opened fire on the students and killed dozens of
students and even parents in broad daylight. Please see and watch this link:

AU headquarters is found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but the Tigrian political
elites are burying the dangerous hatred bomb in the heart and land of Ad-
dis Ababa, in Oromos, and in other Ethiopians. I strongly believe that if the

38
TPLF continues their evil theatre, Ethiopia will face a very, very bad fortune.
Until Oromo questions are answered, not only Addis Ababa and other parts
of Ethiopia, but also East Africa will not achieve sustainability and peace.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcNRKnWW68E I send this message
with a lot of detail and a few questions. Here are some questions for you:
What are your plans and strategies not to be a lion without teeth?
Are your hands clean while you eat your political meal?
Which is the best way to wash hands in order to eat your political meal,
blood or water?
Do you understand that Africa was the origin of humankind and will be the
only future home of human life? Have you seen someone adds fuel to the fire?
Can I trust that you are struggling to avoid pseudo-democracy? Or are
you gambling under the shadow of democracy?
What are you thinking about brain-drain of Africans? Do you hear
about migrating birds? Why do they migrate? Hint: Not only humans, but
birds and animals also migrate from bad situations
What is wrong with you after the movement of anti-colonialism?
Many European languages have been taken as official languages of AU. What
do you think about the Oromo language? Many scholars say that
the Oromo language is the third African language based
on native speakers next to Hausa and Kiswahili. Do you
have a plan to add this language to other AU official languages?
Have you heard that this widely spoken African language (the Oromo lan-
guage) is becoming an official language of Ethiopian prisoners? If your answer
is yes, what is your feeling and plan towards this language and its nation?
Africa is characterized by famine, war, dictatorship, diseases when this
will be finalized? What is the deadline?
Africa has good climate and natural resources; but we havent brought
more changes to our continent accordinglywhy do you think?
Young African minds are being colonized by the West; what is the reason
behind this?
Too often African leaders rob their own countries resources and take
them abroad. Most African leaders accumulate money in foreign countries
such as Swiss bank accounts. How many African leaders have done this?
How many African leaders have put our continent in a Swiss Bank? How
many African leaders have imprisoned Mamma Africa in poverty by rob-
bing her resources, killing her children, marginalizing her intellectuals, etc?
Weapons are often produced out of Africa. But it takes our resources and
also eats African people. What is your role to protect the bullet and weapon
from your people?

39
Why are thousands of African youth are dying in the Mediterranean Sea?
How many AU and African leaders are free from their blood? The Medi-
terranean Seas fish are feeding on Africans flesh. The weapon which is
produced beyond the Mediterranean Sea is eating Africans flesh in Africa.
Fishermen are catching these fish. Humans are eating the fish and therefore
people are eating human flesh. Am I right or wrong?
African youth are choosing a dangerous option by crossing the Mediter-
ranean Sea, i.e. whether dying in the sea or entering Europe alive. Why do
you think African youth choose this dangerous option?
Where is the absolute source of power, people or guns...?

 1.10. Letter to TPLF (Tigre People Liberation Front)

Dear TPLF, thanks to 21st century technology, including social media and
mobile technologies, your tyrant activities are not hidden from Oromos, oth-
er Ethiopian people and the worlds societies. You have been targeting for ar-
rest, killing, torture, and exile the Oromos, Gambellas, Ogadenians, and oth-
er Ethiopian people. Especially, you have highly focused on Oromos in order
to exploit Oromo lands; we are dying for our resources. Your first method is
to make Oromo life miserable and take Oromo land by using guns. Then, its
easy for you to abuse our property. Therefore, here are some questions for you:
Do you take our resources as compensation for the victims of war and
natural disasters?
Do you think that we dont feel anything while your life improves and ours
does not?
Do you think that force and guns are the main way to achieve wealth?
Do you think that it is okay to benefit from evil doing?
Do you think that it does not arouse animosity when you alone control
and benefit from others resources and lands?
Do you want to inherit revenge from young generations?
During the day of peoples irritation of rain and torrent, your elites may
exile to other worlds, but not all Tigrians will. Are you thinking of these
people while you sow hatred among us?
Ethiopia is a country which is led by the policy of Agricultural Development-
Led Industrialization (ADLI). Five years ago, you introduced a new strategic
policy of development called Growth and Transformation Plan. According to
this plan, Ethiopia will transform from an agricultural led economy to an indus-
try led economy or industry led development. Do you think Ethiopia trans-
formed from an agricultural led development to an industry led development?
Do you know that the EFFORT (Endowment Funds for Re-habita-
tion of Tigrai) companies are only on the right track of transformation?
Do you know that as EFFORT has swallowed all resources of Ethiopia?
Were all EFFORT companies transformed to industry led develop-
ment in 2015? Here is a list of TPLF companies under EFFORT:

Do you think that killing and harassment is the main solution for political
problems?
Do you understand (as almost all Ethiopians have become aware) you are
gambling under a shadow of democracy?
Do you teach Oromo democracy?
Who is new for the democracy, you or the Oromo people?
Do you think it is fair to establish fake political parties by payment in or-
der to lengthen your political and economic life? You are trying to deceive
the whites by singing the western song and dancing an Ethiopian dance
at the same time. They know. I tell both of you. You are deceiving yourself
and the Westerns also may know what you are doing.
You are, and especially the dead former Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles
Zenawi was, the dancer of an ant-terrorism song in eastern Africa in order
to divert his evil doing among Western countries. I have a question: Do
you know the difference between freedom fighters and terrorists? Do you
know what you have done so far? Do you know what you did during the
time you were fighting for freedom?

According to face book address of Eritrean Press, on Feb. 17, 1988: Members
of the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front abducted six European aid workers.
The victims were three Irish nuns, two Belgian doctors and a Dutch nurse. All
were released a week later on Oct. 1, 1987. A French nurse, Sophie Bedon, was
kidnapped by TPLF rebels. The woman was taken hostage after an attack on
an Ethiopian garrison in Rama. In the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, she was
handed over to the French embassy after being held for over three weeks. On
Mar. 8, 1986, two employees of the American relief agency World Vision were
shot to death in the dining room of their residence compound in the northern
town of Alamata by TPLF rebels. The victims were both Ethiopian nationals.
According to western diplomatic sources, the attack marked the beginning of
a new guerrilla offensive by the TPLF in northern Ethiopia against the Addis
Ababa government (Menghistu Hailemariam Derg regime).On Mar. 2, 1985:
TPLF rebels seized a French disaster relief aircraft and its five crew members
and four medical staff members in the northern town of Lalibela. The plane
had been flying supplies for Ethiopian villagers as part of the international
effort to relieve the disastrous drought and famine. The hostages were freed
a few days later. On Oct. 17, 1984, ten foreigners, including two American
tourists, were seized by secessionist TPLF guerrillas in Lalibela. The captured
included two Britons, an Australian, a Finn, three West German medics and
a Swiss International Red Cross representative. An American tourist couple,
a British national and a Swiss citizen were freed on October 30. On June 1,
1976, Jon Swain, British correspondent for the Sunday Times of London, was
captured by the TPLF near Axum. He was released in Khartoum on Septem-
ber 5, 1976. It was not known what negotiations, if any, led to his release. In
2006, according to a cable released by Wikileaks, the TPLF minority regime
in Ethiopia planted bombs in Ethiopias capital Addis Ababa and killed in-
nocent people in a bid to frame neighboring Eritrea for the terrorist crimes.

After the 2005 Ethiopian Election, you began revenge on Addis Ababas
people because of who did not vote for you. You selectively deformed Addis
Ababa in the name of development and you gave the land to your ethnic group,
the Tigrian people. After you deformed Addis Ababa, the city and the people,
you started to deform Oromo farmers and Oromo lands surrounding Addis
Ababa city. When Oromo students became aware of your plan and started
to oppose you through non-violent demonstrations, you started killing Oro-
mo students and Oromo intellectuals. Do you think that electing and ruling

44
by force and or thinking with a gun mind in the 21st century is possible?
You are exercising crimes against humanity. You are marginalizing Oromo
people from all social, political and economic sectors; as well as, you are
sowing hatred between Tigre and other Ethiopian people, especially Oro-
mo people. Do you know that you are facilitating all conditions for these
peoples to eat each other?
When will you free OPDO-Oromo Peoples Democratic Organization
which some people call it with its funny name -Oromo People Demorali-
zation/Diseases Organization?
Do you think that it is fair to compensate and benefit only Tigrians by
employing them in the highest enterprises or companies like the Ethiopian
Air Force, Bole International Air Port, Ethiopian Steel Factory, Ethiopian
Defense Ministry, etc?
Do you hear that all Ethiopian people are yelling and roaring at you?
All Ethiopian people like Oromo, Amhara, Ogaden, Gambella, Gumuz,
Sidama, Afar, etc. are marching against you. Again you have no good rela-
tionship with Ethiopian religions. Christians, Muslims and Waaqeffattoota
are marching against you. Do you know the reason why?
How long do you plan to rob votes, kill, and harass Oromos? I think you
know nobody in the past and in future would vote for you because we can
expect this behavior. If your plan is killing, robbing votes, stealing bal-
lots, etc., the Ethiopian people are preparing to protect their vote with final
death by casting out a fake election. People are thinking about fighting
against you. Your actions are preparing all people for war. Do you like war?
You are teaching your children in foreign and international schools. But
you are sending other Ethiopian children, especially Oromo children, to
international jails such as Qality, Maikelawi, Qilito, Zuway and some
other unknown jails. Our expectation is the Oromo language should be
considered just like Amharic - to be the official language of Ethiopia, but
you are making an official language of Ethiopian jails. Do you know that?
Your plan, in 30-50 years, after sustaining Tigrians is to perhaps leave
power. Then, you will hold the highest Ethiopian economic class. Now,
you are using us like a ladder. We are awakened to you! We may push the
ladder to the ground or we may break the ladder. So, how will you climb to
the top of Ethiopian high economic class?
In Addis Ababa (Finfinnee), buildings are growing like long trees in an
Equatorial forest. Most people are leaving the city although it is developing.
I remember the former Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawis speech
on TV, what do the poor do in Addis Ababa? He/she must go to Ambo
or out of Addis Abeba what did he mean? It seems that Meles Zenawis

45
vision is being fulfilled. Most Ethiopian people are poor, including citizens
of Addis Ababa. Tigrians elites have forced residents of cities, towns, and
lands to leave their residence in the name of development. Who are the
actors in Ethiopian development? It seems that your development policy
destroys the poor people. It seems that when you destroy the poor people,
you destroy almost all Ethiopians, except Tigres.
Five years ago, the Ethiopian Parliament declared a growth of the Ethio-
pian economy of 10-11% while millions or almost all Ethiopians are/were
suffering from poverty. Again, when inflation made our life miserable, you
answered, It is caused because of our growth. A journalists ears are wider
than others. I heard informally that you brought a money print machine
from China. Then, we got much paper money in the market. The value went
down.I am not an economist although I can reflect on my own opinion
based on my experiences with the Ethiopian growth previously mentioned. I
heard the Ethiopian senior economist Obbo Bulcha Damaksa criticized your
humorous report of a 10-11% growth in the Ethiopian economy. I believe he
knows what economy is and how economy is grown. I doubt your knowledge
of the economy; maybe you know more about war and dictatorship. From
my observation, I saw Ethiopian life while traveling to many places includ-
ing Ethiopian cities, towns and countryside. Can we say that one country is
developed if all of the countrys resources are held by hundreds of people?
E.g., Ethiopia has 90 million in population. Among these people, lets say
1000 elites and company owners control all Ethiopian resources, leav-
ing the remaining people suffering from poverty even though there
are beautiful buildings and construction in the country. Can we say we
are developed? Can we calculate development without social change?
Recently, I read a report about the extreme poorness of Ethiopia from
the www.ophi.org.uk website. According to this Oxford Poverty and Human
Development Initiative report, Ethiopia is ranked the second poorest coun-
try in the world just behind Niger. Frankly speaking, there is little physical
change in Ethiopian cities, towns, and roads, but not in Ethiopian citizens. I
think all things should be centered on human beings. You TPLF! We all are
human beings, not only your ethnic group or elites, but all Ethiopian people
are human beings. You know that all Ethiopian resources or economic ac-
tivities are controlled by a few Tigrian political elites and Sheik Mohammad
Hussein Ali al Moud. Ali al Moud is exploiting gold from my ancestors land,
Guji-Laga Damb in Shakisso. He officially announced that he produces 4.5
ton of gold or 45 quintals per year. But, informally he produces more than
what he has mentioned, and he is also mining a lot of minerals with the
Midrock Gold Company. He has his own soldiers on our lands. He has been

46
mining for more than 17 years for himself only. When we try to mine our
gold, his soldiers kill us on our lands. I think he is one among the TPLF
dictatorship governors. There are invisible hands beyond Mohammad Hus-
sein Ali al Mouds projects which are found in all regions of Ethiopian, espe-
cially in the Guji-Oromia lega Dembi, Sakaro, and Dawa Okote sites. While
he is taking our gold by planes, our people are suffering from the hardship
of life and the lack of infrastructures. The Ethiopian politician, Dr. Marara
Gudina, said, When people starve because of their own rulers, one day the
rulers will be eaten by their own people. Dr.Marara and other Ethiopian
politicians and activists repeatedly have warned the Ethiopian government.
But, the TPLF has beome like the inside of body of a stone that found in
water. When will you leave sensing like a stone and turn to sense like cotton?
You are killing us because of our resources. The Oromia region is the
main source and the back bone of the Ethiopian economy-gold, coffee, khat
(Chat), cattle, leather, etc. come from Oromo land. You know the cause
of the Ethio-Eritrea war. Early in the beginning, Ethiopian coffee was ex-
ported by the Eritrean government which meant Ethiopia gave you cof-
fee which was prepared for export. Then, Eritrea became the well-known
coffee export country in the world. When you heard this news, you set
in motion the first evil things that led two countries to clash and ate the
lives of more than sixty thousand of Ethiopians and Eritrean young gen-
erations. Your first evil doing was when you added tax on coffee which was
going to Eritrea for export. Eritrea also increased the port tax from 2%
in to 10%. Firstly, a conflict of idea happened concerning adding tax on
products. Secondly, conflict occurred when Ethiopian changed to paper
money rather than the old currency that Ethiopia and Eritrea shared. This
change raised the exchange rate and led to conflict. Do you remember this?
Concerning changing money to note paper, I have a few questions for
you. i.e. When you changed Ethiopian paper money or notes, you drew
white and black abstract photos of the pope on 100 and 50 Birr notes.
What did you mean? I strongly believe that you are falsely praising Ethi-
opian pluralism and celebrating the Ethiopian nations, nationalities and
peoples day every year. If this is true, why did you not add some Sheiks
and Abbaa Gadaas abstract pictures on paper money? I think you are si-
lently supporting feudalist ideology, one religion-Orthodox, one country-
Ethiopia, and one language-Amharic. Arent you? According to Orthodox
and Catholic doctrine, when the pope is elected, no one else can be elect-
ed until his death. But, when you came to power, do you know the case of
Abune Merkorios who was exiled from Ethiopia? In a country of a reli-
gious leader exiled because of fear, who will remain in Ethiopian and in

47
your ruling policy? Is it mandatory all key positions, including churches,
be held by Tigrians? Again, you brought Tigrean pope, Abune Mathias, af-
ter the death of Abune Paulos, the Tigrean pope who replaced Merkerios.

1.11.Message to Tigre People

I know that most of you are still in poverty. In Addis Ababa, I have seen
many beseechers who are Tigre language speakers which show that, except
for some political elites, most of the Tigrai people are found in poverty. Dear
Tigrai people, the TPLF is gambling politics in your name. It benefits some
groups of Tigrians over other Ethiopians. Its acts are going to produce re-
venge. Concerning revenge, not only human beings but animals also take
revenge on those harming or injuring them. Mr. Siye Abriha, who is from
the Tigre ethnic group and opposes the TPLFs brutal crimes and evil activi-
ties, said, All Ethiopian prisoners camps speak Oromo language at all

Dear Tigrai people, you know that after the TPLF created the false Oro-
mo organization-OPDO, which aborted Oromos struggle. It killed, ar-
rested, tortured, exiled, etc. thousands of Oromo people. And also TPLF
took the same action on Gambella, Ogaden, etc. Here is my fear: people
may hold stereotyped ideologies toward Tigre people. We all are human be-
ings; I am going to tell you about the wrong hands of the TPLF which is

48
gambling politics in your name. Human beings not only have passion to-
ward other human beings, but also for animals. According to the TPLF
point of view, other Ethiopians are not as valuable as animals, but humans
even have a passion for animals. TPLF kills in daylight by firing a gun; it
continues to widely construct jails in different parts of Ethiopia TPLF
or the Tigre political elites are acting very badly in offensive ways and en-
gaging in crimes which violate humanity. The TPLF is reproducing hatred
bombs and bad fortune in Ethiopia. When this bomb explodes, the TPLF
will not only shrink down, but it will multiply negatively by 25%. It will
receive its wage of violation of human rights and evil doing. If I were you,
I would tell the TPLF to not allow gambling in your name and also to es-
cape from all these risks. Again you may remember the people who suf-
fered from the Ethio-Eritrea conflict. I think its bad scar is still there

1.12.Message for Amhara People

Dear Amhara, I have a message for you. I know in the past feudalists gam-
bled in the Amhara name and most of the Amhara people are still poor like
other Ethiopian people. Some feudal families, especially farmers and people
living in the countryside of the Amhara region, are living a life of hardship.
Some backward customs like early marriage and female genital mutilation
are still practiced in the Amhara region. Also, trachoma, the disease which
leads to blindness, is more widely spread in the Amhara region than others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHs8uNuSguw&spfreload=10. On the
other hand, some feudal families ancestors and some other people have
lost their identity and assimilated to Amhara in towns, cities or abroad
and are living a modern life. Amhara are not different humans as the for-
mer emperors like Haile Silassie thought. All are equal and born free

Dear Amhara people, the TPLF or Tigreans political elites are fabricating
false Face Book accounts and writing offensive words on there and elsewhere,
in order to lengthen their duration of power while we fight each other. The
TPLF trained many of its agents on social media like Face Book to divert the
protesting of Oromo and Amhara people against the TPLF. The TPLF always
fears these wide nations-Oromo and Amhara. It always makes theatre to set
a fire between these two nations. Remember, the Bedano and Arba Gugus
massacre cases and fabrication theatres. If you viewed Face Book recently,
there are so many Oromo and Amhara people being provoked and invited
into conflict under false pretenses. TPLF trainees are writing and mention-
ing Oromos and Tigres names as if Amhara wrote the messages, but this is
49
not true; TPLF itself is writing these offensive words and releasing some un-
ethical pictures. This is the method employed by TPLF of using social media
for protesting against it to implicate ourselves. Many people are not aware of
these Satanic activities. Some of these nations have been deceived by TPLFs
evil doing and have been insulting each other on Face book. Please, if you find
such evil acts, block these Face book evil doers with fake names. Please, be
aware! Do not insult each other; continue protesting together against TPLF.
Dear Amhara people, we all are human. Human beings not only share
among themselves what they have, but they also share with animals and
birds from what they have, such as; respect, tolerance and passion. When
human beings become too hopeless because of marginalization and oppres-
sion, they became worse than animals. You know, Oromo people have been
marginalized from economic, social and political benefits in Ethiopia since
the 19th century. For instance, almost all towns and cities which are found in
Ethiopia, were established by emperors and feudalists. Look, even towns and
cities which are found in Oromia are occupied by the feudal familys people
who have lost their identities and have become Amaranized. The Oromo
peoples social, economic, and political activities are near to zilch. The Oro-
mo people hold others in their stomachs like a warm parasite. Imagine carry-
ing others in your stomach but not benefiting from them. What is the use of
carrying a parasite in your stomach? But lets think about the useful bacteria
in our stomach and mutual function between human and gastric bacteria...

Frankly speaking, is there any other nation like Oromo in Ethiopia that lives
its life for others? If the marginalization of this nation is going on, what
would you expect? Nobody can live for others, but we can live with others.
I remember an ant-parasite which is called heexoo or kosso in both local
languages. After drinking a heexoo or kosso, imagine the sickness of vom-
iting and diarrhea. But, when we think in the 21st centurys mind, there is a

Dear 21st century Ethiopian young generations, I boldly remind you, the
Oromo is not standing according to their height to share in the Ethiopian
social, political and economic life or benefits. The Oromo people are silently
being protected from towns and cities. Let us say, leave Bahirdar, Gonder,
Gojjam, Mekelle, Adwa, Alksum, etc., when we take the ratio of Oromo liv-
ing in those cities and towns found in the Oromia region, at least Addis Aba-
ba (Finfinnee), Adama (Nazareth), Bishoftu (Debreziet), Shashemane, As-
sela, etc, Oromo is low. Because of naturally gifted resources, our lands have
invited feudalists and dictators to take Oromos land or Oromia. Oromo are
being killed and marginalized because of its lands, but it will not continue.

50
If there are actions, there are always reactions. We have to think the reason
behind and take experience from xenophobia which recently happened in
South Africa. We have to make appropriate reactions in the 21st century

Dear Amhara intellectuals and Diasporas, please, think in a 21st century mind.
You may know what Debtaras incorrectly wrote about the Oromo people.
Most of them wrongly wrote about Oromo history. Imagine, what will hap-
pen when someone writes about others with a negative mind of stereotypes.
The new 21st centurys generation should reject a biased, stereotyped and
hateful mind. The Oromo is a human like you; Oromos did not come from
the ocean as some Dabtaras wrote. Being mass in numbers should not pro-
duce anxiety. Nobody benefits in Ethiopia by restricting Oromos from pow-
er; rather he/she will benefit from the Oromo struggle. Oromos never stop
struggling for their human and democratic rights. Therefore, helping Oromos
struggle is helping them instead of distorting Oromo strategies. You should
know, without the Oromo people, there is nothing to discuss about Ethiopia.

Recently, when the Oromo intellectual, activist and East African politi-
cal analyst Jawar Mohammed unexpectedly answered questions suddenly
thrown at him by Aljazeera journalists, from a choice of Ethiopia First and
Oromo First he said I am Oromo First. After that, most of the Habeshas
became angry and started to defame him though before they were giving
testimony about his brave and brilliant mind. I think there is no nation
which is called in the name of Ethiopia, but Oromo. So, what is wrong if
he says I am Oromo and I am Oromo first? Early on, they were appre-
ciating and praising him as a brilliant young politician. Why do you con-
nect Oromo with Islamic extremists? We know that you opened war on him
through the social media which was/is not his business. I think he has no
hatred towards the country which is called Ethiopia. Maybe he meant that
he could not say Mammy to a country which doesnt say my son to him.

Obviously, first he belongs to Oromo. However, without being an Oromo,

how can he come to be an Ethiopian because he fills his nationality on his
identity card as an Ethiopian. But, he and many people like him, are exiled
from Ethiopia because of their being Oromo First not Ethiopian First. Ethio-
pia has more than 80 languages. Above 90% of Ethiopian prisoners speak the
Oromo language. While people expect this language to be an official language
of Ethiopia, it has became the official language of Ethiopian Prisoners. He
meant that he is talking against the Ethiopian governments evil doing. So,
what his wrong with him if he says I am Oromo First and number one I will

51
struggle for Oromo people? Do you think that Oromo has benefited from
Ethiopia since Menelik II? Can you find Ethiopia without Oromo people?
Do you believe that peace and sustainability can be found in not only Ethio-
pia, but also in East Africa without solving the current Oromo problems?
I do not surprised when I read negative opinions on social media like Face
Book which says, Jawar is Muslim. He struggles for only Muslim-Oromo but
not for Christian-Oromo. He will have a plan to expand the Islam religion in
East Africa, ...the negative mind does not always think about the positive.
Some of feudal ancestors started to defame him and persuade the US or other
Western countries by labeling him as Oromo Shebab. Who said that all Mus-
lims are terrorists? Half or more than half, of the Oromo population is Mus-
lim; does that mean Oromo is going to declare an Islamic government after
getting power? According to my point of view, Jawar Mohammed is a ration-
al, not an extremist. Do you hear that democracy is not new for the Oromo
people? Do not terrify yourself by Oromo phobia as he also said on Aljazeera.

While emperors and feudalists were selling human beings like ani-
mals for slavery, Oromo was accepting and adopting others as their own
blood sons and daughters. These basic social norms make Oromos gen-
erous in their behavior. While Oromo openhandedly accepted oth-
ers because of a deeply rooted sense of humanity and social norms, oth-
ers were wrapped like a belt on Oromos wrist and bit Oromo like a
snake. Oromo is not accused of being intolerant though some are biting
and swallowing Oromos like snakes on its land. But, I think, some situ-
ations are imposing Oromos to follow the rule of reaction for action.

In the home country of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian peoples stone is broken, be-
cause this stone was cracked by a hammer of emperors and dictators. But, most
people couldnt see this in the dark dictatorial and tyrannical regime. Many of
us now see with critical eyes. Nobody can sew the broken stone together with a
needle even though some claim to stitch together this broken stone of people.
They may pierce themselves while trying to sew the broken stone. Again, they
may add additional damage, i.e.by breaking the broken stone of people into
pieces. Wise people build the best homes with big broken stones by putting in
a corner stone according to its value, shape, strength, height, thickness, etc.

While abroad, I saw that the Ethiopian corner stone has broken into four
parts with many cracks: Oromo, Amara, Tigre, and Ogaden. These bro-
ken stones have been taken to different places in order to build different
homes. Different engineers are assigned with different designs. So, how can

52
we expect the same home from different engineers? When I think repeat-
edly about the final destiny of Ethiopia and Ethiopians, I remember another
example; marriage ties different people together and is vital to life. But if
there is no agreement and no love, a court orders a divorce in the civilized
world.If husband and wife cannot agree with each other, or when their life
is always full of conflict, it is better to separate without violation. Is it not?

1.13. Message to all marginalized Ethiopian people; especially,

South Nation, Nationalities and Peoples of Ethiopia:

You are living in the heart of Oromia; Oromo pain is your pain, as well as your
pain is Oromos pain. We are both sharing the same pain of tyranny from em-
perors and feudalists ancestors. We know, your variety is our decor. But, nowa-
days, the Ethiopian government is only giving attention to you for the celebra-
tion of Ethiopian nations, nationalities and Peoples Day. You have to get more
educational opportunities because education is the main way to fight against
dictators, tyranny, backwardness, etc. And also you need infrastructure.

Dear Sidama People, If I were the Ethiopian government, I would give a re-
gional state to the Sidama people because the Sidama people are estimated
to be above 5 million in number. On the other hand, I do not understand
the formula for giving regional states of Ethiopian Federalism. The Ethio-
pian government (TPLF) gave a regional state for the Harari people in the
heart of Oromia, a people who counted in hundred thousands even though
5 million Sidama people were banned from self-governance in Ethiopian
Federalism. According to this formula, we might have much regional gov-
ernment but it was only applicable for Harari people. Most people have
mentioned that the TPLF and the Harari people have a unique relation-
ship since the TPLF started their struggle as gorilla-fighters. During that
time, there was a secret, Harari man who was working at the UN and who
was making favor for the TPLFsome people say that the Harari regional
state was unfairly given for the Harari people who are very few in num-
ber in relation to the other Ethiopian people, especially the Sidama Peo-
ple. In addition, some people also say the Harari regional government was
given to the Harari people as an incentive. Look, in the 1990s, when OLF
and TPLF were fighting in Eastern Oromia, how many of us knew how the
TPLF entered to Dire Dawa? Who gave Lorries to the TPLF? How many
of us knew that TPLF soldiers were carried in Lorries and wrapped as ra-
tions? Then, compare and contrast this incentive to the regional stateI
am a journalist; let me leave the detail for researchers and historians.

53
Dear SNNP, please make peace with your neighbor societies. If we fight
each other, the TPLF government sprays democracys smell while we are
hungering for true democracy which we want to eat like a meal. Im-
agine, the odor cannot satisfy the famine! Please, unite and stand with
Oromos. Oromo has also been oppressed like you for more than a cen-
tury by Habeshas. You know that Oromo has respect and tolerance for
other nations since ancient time. Most of you know, especially many
Cushitic language speakers, the Gadaa-the democratic governance like
the Oromos. It shows our ancient Cushitic civilization. Therefore, let us
unite and taste the real life and democracy like our ancient customs

1.14. Message to Gambella People

Dear Gambella people, both Gambella and Oromo people are dying for their
resources. You know that the TPLF or Tigrian political elites have been tak-
ing your and our lands. They not only took the lands for themselves, but they
also are selling our lands to Chinese, Indian and other foreigners. On the oth-
er hand, while they were/are taking our lands, they were/are massacring us,
especially Gambella and Oromo. Again, they continued to move our farmers
and settlers in order to easily sell our lands and resources. We have the same
diseases. Therefore, we have to stand together and find the cure together

1.15. Message to Ogaden People

Dear Ogaden People, the world is giving testimony about the silent killing
of Ogadenians by the Tigrian political elites. TPLF has been wounding both
of us; remember that the TPLF left a bad historical scar on its own Tigre
people in Hawuzein during the fighting with the Derg regime. Every Ethio-
pian knows about the Hawuzein massacre. Who gave the information for
the Derg about Hawuzein people? The TPLF does not consider others as
human beings while it does evil things to its own people for its own political
interests. Again, nowadays, it is taking evil action among Ethiopian people.
Meanwhile, the TPLF is trying to distort our unity by creating a clash be-
tween Oromo and Ogaden around the neighboring borders. We have to wake
up and stand together in order to protect ourselves and throw away tyranny.

54
1.16. Message to Peaceful Opposition Political Parties of Ethiopia

Dear peaceful Opposition Political Parties of Ethiopia, in 2010 I was report-

ing on the Ethiopian election for the Oromia Radio and Television Organi-
zation which was/is owned by the government. It was my first time to re-
port on the Ethiopian election. I was sent to the Guji zone to cover many
anas or many districts of the Guji zone like Adola, Shakisso, Maleka, Mee
Bokko, Irba Muda, and Bore. I was shocked; local cadres were dictating to
the voters by sitting near the secret ballot which was almost no secret bal-
lot. They were watching who chose after giving the introduction and di-
rections to people on how they vote for EPDRFs or ruling partys symbol
which was a bee. Their dictate looked like order. They considered me as
government pump journalist, because they adopted the behavior of gov-
ernment journalists or journalists working for the government. I was re-
porting vaguely, but I was learning about dictatorships of African countries.

The Guji zone, especially these districts, is my birth place. Many people told
me that government cadres added the opposition political parties votes to
a toilet and a river. People were talking about what happened. Most of the
people knew me, and also I knew them because it was my birth place. On the
next day of the Ethiopian election of 2010, I was in Bore town. When I went
to Bores district office, the governments cadres were talking about what they
had done and what happened. They did not fear me just like Adolas district
cadres; I thought they took me as a pump journalist of the government.
They are familiar with the conditions of journalists who work in government
media as they are the mouth of government. They considered me a govern-
ment pump journalist, but I was not. On that day in the morning, they start-
ed talking about what they had already done in Guji zone of Oromia region.
In the Guji zone, in all districts and sub-districts, they robbed votes and
won the election except for one remote sub-district or Kebele (ganda) which
is called Murii Muratoo. Murii Muratoo is the remotest area of Kebele or
Ganda from all Bore woreda or sub-districts. Later, I understood the rea-
son why the government cadres did not rob peoples vote in Murii Muratoo.
They sent brave people to this remote area as silent punishment because
of fear. In the remote area of the countryside, most people face difficulties
from lack of infrastructures. Cadres usually send people who ask for their
rights and are aware of their doings to the remote areas. Unexpectedly, Murii
Muratoo Kebeles or Gandas civil servants became full of such heroes. These

55
heroes voted and counted their votes without the government cadres inter-
ference, and they announced that they won the election in Murii Muratoo.

I was told that there was a guy who voted 15 times for the government with
incentive. I felt sad when I heard of such gambling under the shadow of an
election. I was starting to weep in my heart. During the day and night, I
thought about what had happened and of the future destiny of the Ethio-
pian election and Ethiopia itself. The government announced that it won
almost all seats or 99.6% in the Ethiopian parliament; imagine the govern-
ment robbed and then announced itself as a democratic government. The
courts, the election board, the churches, etc. are full of Ethiopian govern-
ment.when I came back from Guji to Adama, I wrote what I felt in trans-
port on the bus. I could not stop analyzing and writing although I was trav-
elling and I was not in a suitable condition to write. I started to write the
poem below about the 2010 Ethiopian election, even though the bus was
quivering. I never talked to anybody about my bad feelings of the election
because I was in Ethiopia and in a situation where I couldnt trust my own
shadow; rather I was telling my painful feelings to/on a piece of paper.

Election

Is it forced selection or election?

Election is competition but not declaration,
by competing and winning alone and rather
having qualification and own identification.
It must not be mixed with temptation.
Avoid assimilation, have your qualification,
compete with your opposition
based on reality. Believe in equality,
work with intellectuals, respect all rights.
Do not rob peoples voices. Nothing is hidden
from societies in all countries. Dont do fakes!
2010, on the way from Guji to Adama-Oromia (Ethiopia)

Dear peaceful Opposition Political Parties of Ethiopia, based on these facts

I am going ask you a few questions:
I think you knew that the Ethiopian government has been robbing your
vote. So, where is your peak point of ending the robbery?
You have chosen peaceful opposition, but the Ethiopian government is
not being peaceful. It is killing, arresting, exiling, etc. your members and

56
supporters just like it has been doing to other Ethiopians. Do you think
that the government will change its mind? Lets say, you win a future 2015
Ethiopian election. Will the TPLF give you the power peacefully? You
know that all the Ethiopian military defense key positions are held by the
Tigreans. Even nowadays, Ethiopian Prime Ministers may not know what
the Ethiopian security force is proposing and doing. You know that it is
not clear who is leading Ethiopia after the death of the former Ethiopian
PM, Meles Zenawi.
In the 2005 Ethiopian election, the Addis Ababa people won the entire vote.
Then, you know what was happened. The TPLF mourned as if it was the
death of their own mother. They killed a lot of people in Addis Ababa. They
took revenge not only on Addis Ababas people, but also on the Addis Ababa
city itself and its surrounding lands and Oromo farmers. Since the 2010 elec-
tion they have been trying to displace Addis Ababa city and Addis Abbabas
surrounding Oromo farmers in order to replace with their own people and
systems. Nowadays, people are informally talking that Addis Ababa as being
the second Tigrean city next to Mekelle. Based on these facts and experi-
ences, what is your expectation and strategies for the next 2015 election?
What will you do if the government continues its evil doing on the day of
the next election?

1.17. Message to 21st young generations of Ethiopians

Dear Ethiopian young generations, some of our Ethiopian ancestors did

evil things to Ethiopian people and recorded bad history. Look, how their
mistakes were/are disturbing us still today. Some of the Ethiopian ethnic
groups say, Oromo were/are badly harmed and handled in the emperors
and feudal system, even today. When Oromo comes to power it will seek
revenge on us Oh my God! So what are the solutions for Oromo prob-
lems? Should Oromo be under tyranny forever? I strongly believe that this
is blind-minded thinking. Dear Amhara and Tigre young generations, the
former Ethiopian Emperors created a bad history on Ethiopian people es-
pecially in the name of Amhara. Now, these Tigrean political elites are re-
peating this behavior and creating another bad Ethiopian political history.

In the emperors regimes Oromo was the main victim. Again, the TPLF
badly harmed Oromo people just like the former emperors. Why is Oromo
always the main target of these groups? They may have thought that un-
less they distort Oromo unity and life, no one can be benefit from Oromo
lands and fulfill his/her evil agenda. This leads to dangerous and zero or
57
negative scarifies. Please, think over the case of what happened in Rwanda.
The Rwanda genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President
Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali
airport on 6 April 1994. Likewise, the TPLF, sowing hatred among Oromo,
Amhra and Tigre, is asking us for Debo or help for its hatred gardens. If we
continue in todays Ethiopian way, we will face what was faced by Rwandans.
This is an urgent message for Amhara and Tigre young generations; please,
think this over day and night in order to remove the bad record of your an-
cestors as well as restrain yourselves from your ancestors stereotyped path.

You, the Tigre young generation, in order to save your people and erase
the TPLF evil scar, please, oppose Tigreans political elites who are burying
a social nuclear bomb among Ethiopians although you may benefit from
the system. When this social nuclear bomb explodes, I strongly believe that
your loss will be negatively greater than your gain. Not only you may nega-
tively lose what you have already gained, but it will be recorded again as bad
Ethiopian history. Therefore, we have to be the generation of solutions. We
have dozens of assignments to be solved, because you know what is going on.

I remember the quote of Dr. Mararaa Guddinaa, The TPLF came from the
jungle but the jungle does leave the wind of the TPLF. You Tigrian young
generation, please try to remove the jungle from the mind of Tigreans po-
litical elite. You know, their governance is not forever. If something hap-
pens, these political elites will be scattered to different countries because
they have a huge amount of money, but not all Tigrian mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers. These political elites have created a bad historical re-
cord on their own people in order to get political acceptance. Remember the
case of the Hauzein massacre... who gave the information to a Dergs plot?
What were the conditions around Hauzein before and after the massacre?
Dear Amhara young generation, please leave the worship of the past history
of emperors and feudalists and start to think in a 21st century mind. Oromo
is struggling to get its freedom, not to revenge Amhara. You know Oromo is
generous and lives peacefully with other Ethiopian people. You know gud-
difacha or adoption was taken from Oromo with its word. You know, the
Gadaa system of Oromo is democratic. Therefore, democratic governance
is not new for Oromo. Dear Amhara young generation, the TPLF exagger-
ates and fuels negative past events which happened under the umbrella of
Amhara name. The TPLF motivates people to invite clashes between Oromo
and Amhara by running silent racism in order to lengthen its life of power.

58
Here, we have to be smart. Another thing I am going to tell you is, I strongly
believe that you are not benefiting from condemning the Oromo struggle
knowingly or unknowingly; rather, you can gain support from supporting
Oromo struggles. In the Western and most democratic countries, not only
humans, but also animals, tress, and environment have real rights. There
are no violations of human and democratic rights; everyone respects each
other. Everybody is under the rule of law If someone respects and loves
someone else, he/she also does the same thing, but if there is a violation of
rights, a reaction will bring disaster. The civilized mind grieves for others
pain. Please, let us download a civilized and modern mind. I know all Ethi-
opians are thirsting for true democracy. Lets march for democracy and
torch the future hope of the TPLPs shadow gamble of pseudo-democracy.

This Era
In the era of odd, old come to young.
Reciprocally, young to old.
Why illiterates? Where are intellectuals?
What type of era? A stomach accumulates butter,
A mouth exposes stone; the four Gadaa parts
Of language-listening takes power,
speaking feels fear, writing is being hero,
reading is riding, and simply taking
the four Gadaa parts of language
.lacking balance.
What type of era? The era of a thousand bosses,
Millions of mini-bosses. We left for long miles,
and have heavy carries with many quintals;
it has equal mass but differs in grams.
One contains cereals, but others cotton.
What type of era? The era of all fate
to build a home, all hold an axe
to cut long king post and run to forest
all cut individually. But not carried alone,
they request help, while longer carried
shorter run under or sit upper;
to carry king post, the main job is hidden
..men carried men.

 1.18. Letter to my classmates at Addis Ababa University post
graduate school of journalism and communication
extension program 2013
Hi all, this is Daniel; your former classmate. Unfortunately, I am forced to
stop my studies, but still I feel like your classmate You may wonder why I
stopped even after only a year and immediately after I registered for the second
year of classes. Before the beginning of the second year, I was exiled. You may
imagine what would have happened to me if I were still in the country (Ethi-
opia). I have suffered for both my journalism profession and for being an
Oromo after my graduation in 2007. After three years, I was dismissed from
the Oromia Radio and Television OrganizationI think you may have heard
what happened to 20 journalists of ORTO recently in 2014. http://cpj.org/
blog/2014/07/twenty-ethiopia-state-journalists-dismissed-in-hid.php

I was searching for a job in Addis Ababa for three months without any payment
or help after I was fired from Adama in 2011 . I did not find employment,
so I went to the countryside to lead my life in agriculture just as my parents
always have donebut it brought other challenges.after that I was brought
to Addis Ababa and started working a job against my will.when I started
this job, I only had three choices: first, escape from the country; but I did not
have money and connection abroad.second, although I was commanded
to report for OPDOs Newspaper and I accepted the command, I knew very
well what the OPDO command meant. Third, I could hold firm in my beliefs
and take a stand and, as a result, go to jail or the grave I understood that
it was nothing to go to jail or to my grave without contributing anything
I have chosen the second option which gave me chance to join the 2013
class of post graduates of Addis Ababa University extension program.I
was not lucky to finish my M.A. studybut thanks to the Addis Ababa
University I received good knowledge and skills, especially for writing
online journalism. Now, I am not breathing the Ethiopian government
air and its media; rather, I am freely breathing my own breath. I wrote
this letter to all Ethiopians; somehow, you are also their representatives.

1.19. Message to young African generation

Archeologists believe and agree that Africa is the origin of the human spe-
cies and of ancient civilization We are gifted with natural resources, tame
and wild animals, birds, weather, etc. The world is divided into different

60
standards and groups: developed countries, industrialized countries, com-
mon wealth, G7, G8, developing countries, third world countries, etcnow,
in short I want to ask you some questions about our first civilization, present
standard, as well as our future destiny. Where has our first civilization gone?
What is our future fortune? Why are almost all African leaders dictators?
Why do African leaders consider resigning from power as the end of life ?
We Africans remember and have seen the bad scar of slavery and colonization,
especially in Africa. During the colonialization period, the Europeans took
our properties physically. But, today modern technological achievements and
Western civilizations are colonizing our minds and conquering our hearts in
addition to causing migration because of escaping from dictators and pover-
ty. According to my point of view, I am searching for the first reason why we
lost our ancient civilization. Let me suggest a second reason for our laziness,
i.e. it may be because of the suitable weather conditions or climate of Africa.
In Africa, snow does not kill you. But when we compare the Western coun-
tries with African countries, especially during the Winter, you cannot sur-
vive if you have no home or shelter, energy, accumulated food, clothes, etc.

Unlike the West, in Africa, the weather does not challenge you. Chal-
lenges and difficulties are always a fertilizer for innovation and enlight-
enment. Finally, let me take you to the Mediterranean Sea in your imagi-
nation because of what is really happening there. Many young Africans
are dangerously migrating to Europe by crossing the Mediterranean
Sea with the assistance of smugglers. They are dying by the thousands
in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Seas fish are feeding on
young African flesh. Many fishermen are catching fish in the Mediterra-
nean Sea. Fish are eating humans; humans are eating fish. Therefore, hu-
mans are eating humans because of what? Please, I need the answer soon!

Chapter Two: Boqonnaa Lama
Yaadaa Gaazexeessaa: Journalists Reflections

2.1. Ethiopian governments lies

Ethiopian government or Tigrai People Liberation Front (TPLF) has been
known for fabricating false propaganda. It has not been doing this against
only Ethiopian people, but also it has been doing this against our Ethiopian
Muslim brothers and sisters. TPLF has controlled all areas even secular in-
stitutions or organizations like religion, courts, election boards, educational
institutions, etc. From early in the beginning, TPLF has hidden hands in the
election of the pope in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Likewise, recently
TPLF put its wrong hands in Ethiopian Muslim religion leaders election.
Based on this fact, the followers of the religion or Muslims caught the govern-
ment red handed while it was trying to vote in its servant in the name of Islam.

The TPLF is fabricating false information which defames Ethiopian Mus-

lims whether to set a clash between Ethiopian Christians and Muslims or
to degrade and harass them in order to lengthen its life of power. Ethio-
pian Muslims and Christians have an ancient history of tolerance. We are
not new to each other. I strongly believe that we can be the role models
for others. I am sharing testimony of Ethiopian Muslims rightness and
TPLFs wrongness: Ethiopian Muslims did not say and have no plan to es-
tablish an Islamic government in Ethiopia. I am supporting an Ethiopian
Muslims facts although I am a Christian. Again, its my responsibility to
help and stand with oppressed brothers and sisters. Our culture also orders
me not only to protect myself but I have a duty to protect my neighbors.

Meanwhile, concerning the changing Ethiopian note paper money, I have a

few questions for TPLF. i.e. When you changed Ethiopian paper money or
note, you abstractly drew Ethiopian Orthodox pope photos in white and black
on 100 and 50 Birr notes. What do you mean? Are we ruling by a Christian
government? Where is Muslim and Waqeffataas emblem if it is mandatory
in the way you have thought? I strongly believe that you are falsely praising
Ethiopian pluralism and celebrating the Ethiopian nations, nationalities and
Peoples Day yearly. If this is true, why did you not add some Sheiks and Ab-
baa Gadaas abstract pictures on paper money? I do not think that you are
silently the supporter of feudalists ideology, one religion-Orthodox, one
country-Ethiopia, and one language-Amharic as former Emperors were.
Do you? According to Orthodox and Catholic doctrine, after one pope is

80
elected, until his death no one can be elected. But, when you came to power,
do you remember the case of Abune Merkorios who was exiled from Ethio-
pia? In a country of religious leaders exiled because of fear, who will remain
in Ethiopian and in your ruling policy? Is it mandatory that all key posi-
tions be held by Tigreans including churches? Again, you brought Abune
Mathias after the death of Abune Paulos. Why do you run racist politics?

2.4.The Mafia TPLF-Ethiopian Government

It came by gun, it leads by gun, but it uses a copy paste of the Wests constitution:
The TPLF (Tigrai Liberation Front), one of minor Ethnic groups in Ethiopia,
came to power by gun in the 1990s. It organized the fake and the others po-
litical micro enterprise organizations in the name of 80 Ethiopian nations
and nationalities. Amazingly, it organized and grouped not educated and
not wise people in order to build one regional state among the nine Ethiopi-
an regional states. These fake political micro enterprise organizations have
been collaborating with this mafia group, because they are held hostage by
benefits. On the top of these political macro enterprise organizations, there
is at least one Tigre guy who closely guides and orders them. Most of the
guiders are former fighters or soldiers of the TPLF. They have been using the
Western constitution as a shield although their doing resemble rebellion.
Of course, there was rebellion before and there is also now. The well known
Ethiopian politician, Dr. Merara Gudina has literally explained TPLF, The
TPLF came to power from jungle, but the jungle does not leave the TPLF.

The TPLF papers and tongues are very perfect. We, the innocent and
majority of Ethiopian people have a copy paste of the Wests constitu-
tion which is performed in the Jungle of TPLF. In the early beginning,
the TPLF has hatred towards intellectuals and well educated persons.
Because intellectuals can easily reveal and expose the wrong hand of
TPLF and the secret of TPLFs jungles; as well as, most intellectuals are
guided by their mind not by their stomach. This is why the mafia-Ethi-
opian government is downing, demoralizing, chasing, arresting and kill-
ing the intellectuals and those who oppose its wrong hands and doings.

Constitution-its a written statement outlining the basic laws of princi-

83
ple by which a country is to be governed. For the sake of having demo-
cratic principles and name, we have somehow copy pasted our constitu-
tion. But it is kept on the paper like the heritage materials which are put
in a museum. Constitutions must serve societies like money by going to
each and every persons home instead of sitting in a well covered book.
Again, the TPLF has been degrading the Ethiopian paper constitution
by its theatre proclamations. The entire house of peoples representatives
and house of federation is full of TPLFs delegations. It has voted them
in by using gun and money. Therefore, the Oromo proverb says, Sa-
reen nama nyaachiseef dutti, which means A dog barks for who feeds it.

Secularism-the reality on the ground, is the belief that religion and reli-
gious bodies should have no part in political or civil affairs or in running
public institutions, especially in schools, colleges and universities. Oppo-
sitely, not only the government and military structures, but also the ma-
fia-TPLF government is full of churches, courts, schools, colleges, uni-
versities, etc. Unbelievably, since they came to power by gun from the
jungle, the Ethiopian Orthodox Churchs pope is supposed to be from
TPLF or Tigre ethnic group. In addition, the others support this system.

Multiparty system-if there is democracy in a country, multiparty involves

more than two political parties. To be called democratic, TPLF has been
organizing many its own fake political opposition parties. Its a good actor in
doing evil theatres. Its evil theatres have been sealed, and put a bad scar in
the minds of Ethiopian people. They are waiting for the flooding anger day

Election-its an event at which people vote and also its an organized event
at which somebody is chosen by vote for presidential or parliamentary
systems. On the other hand, the TPLF has been gambling under the shad-
ow of election. Ethiopian people have been robbed of their votes for five
rounds by TPLF. From my experience and point of view, the gun and pa-
per do not vote together and are not ellected together. I think, Ethiopian
people should ignore the invitation of a party which usually eats them.

Media-in a healthy country, media is taken as the fourth estate next to Ex-
ecutive, Legislative and Judiciary. In order to build a democratic country,
media plays a great role. Media should govern for its and editorial pol-
icy. It must be free from government control and censorships. Unfortu-
nately, we do not have free and fair media in Ethiopia; rather, its the ma-
fia government ownership. We, most of the journalists in Ethiopia, are

84
parrots-we are not real journalists; rather, we wear the uniform of jour-
nalism by having the skills of language, especially reading. Most of the
journalists in Ethiopia are the spokesperson of the mafia government

Employment-people have the right to live, learn, eat, educate, etc. Af-
ter graduation, somebody has to be employed according to the criteria
he/she fulfills. Surprisingly, in Ethiopia, to be employed, somebody has
to be a member of the mafia political ruling party. Nowadays, in Ethio-
pia, to get a university degree in your life, it takes at least 15 years (from
grades 1-10, 10+1 and 10+2, and three and more years at university). As-
tonishingly, while universities award the degree in the 15 years, some
private shop colleges may sell Masters Degrees in a year for elementary
students fo huge money. The mafia sells and the mafia buys. In Ethiopia,
because of this reason, the value of education is becoming valueless. There-
fore, among 80 nations and nationalities, if one ethnic group controls all
power and resources and when that ethic group downs, demoralizes,
chases, arrests and kills the major ethnic group by using guns and power,
can we say, is this country healthy and democratic? What is mine, yours
and ours role to survive this country if you do believe in my arguments?

2.5. Thirsting for True Democracy in the Dry

Desert of Dictatorship

In most documentary films, especially in National Geographic, I of-

ten see animals being eaten by crocodiles. During the dry season, most
animals lose their lives on searching for water. Similarly, in a dicta-
tors country, most people have been eaten by the dictators gun or
have been imprisoned while they were searching for true democracy.

85
Likely, the Ethiopian Security ForcesTPLF(Tgrai Liberation Front or
Woyane) has been eating and again sharpening their jaws to eat de-
mocracy craving Ethiopians, particularly the Oromos, under the dark-
ness of pseudo-democracy. In Ethiopia, both the Ethiopian people and
the constitution are jailed. It looks like a rich man who has only one leg
that somebody is beating and breaking his leg to easily steal his property.

On the other hand, in Ethiopia, both media and journalists are the prop-
erty of the Ethiopian government. No one else allowed to anybody to
speak his/her mind, but only governments or groups owned guns have
freedom their minds. I think, it is easy to only speak anothers mind for
a parrot, but not for humans. We have been learning in modern universi-
ties. But we cat practice modernity with backward regulations. Dictators
believe in guns and force, but if a mind is there, a little boy can ride a horse

Why have Ethiopian University students been yeling for true democracy since
Hailesillassie regime or 1950s? Nowadays, why are Oromo students who are
attending university and intellectuals being killed, arrested, tortured, and dis-
missed? Why is being an Oromo and a journalist the worst situation in Ethi-
opia? Why are Oromo students becoming firewood for Woyanes firearms?

killing, arresting, torturing, exiling, land grabbing, dismissal, etc. tar-
geted toward Oromos? According to a 2014 Amnesty International Re-
port, since 2011, at least 5,000 Oromos have been suffering in Ethiopian
prison.http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/AFR25/006/2014/en
Many people estimate that at least 20,000-25,000 Oromos have been
arrested in Ethiopia since 1991. In a country of 80 different ethnic
groups Ethiopia-more than 90% of the prisons are occupied by Oromos.

2.6. The Danger of Captive Collections Politics and the

Unlettered:Its Caravan

The main characteristics of a dictators government is either an empty-

minded or unintelligent politics caravan which is guided by a single
person. There are no checks and balances in power, and also there is no
secularism. There are also no free institutions like courts, educational in-
stitutions, religion, media, electoral boards, etc. The driver of the po-
86
litical caravan is in all sectors. In that country, he/she is taken as a small
god. No one cares about the destiny of the country; rather, nobody has
any rest from exploiting the countrys resources and building him/her-
self up. But, one day, its known that the driver of the caravan will expose
the driven to dangers or leave the driven alone in a dangerous desert

On the other hand, educated and intelligent people are not allowed to par-
ticipate in politics and all sectors. On the contrary, participants are jailed,
killed, exiled, demoralized, etc. Similarly, education has no value in such
countries. In this corrupt system, rich unlettered guys easily buy the forged
and saleable degree from the shop-colleges. Brain drain is highly seen here
Meanwhile, in a country of multi-ethnic groups, the driver of the po-
litical caravan can facilitate genocide among ethnic groups by ben-
efiting only his/her own ethnic group in biased ways while ignor-
ing and irritating others. Most of the unlettered dictators do not pay
attention to the discussion around the table, but to the gun mouth

Sometimes, most of the people feel pain while the democratic and de-
veloped countries stand with dictators for the sake of their own interests.
Amazingly, some of these democratic countries mourn with victims during
the day time while they spend time with the killers at a party. So, what is
truth? Where is truth? Who is right and who is wrong? Who is free and who
is bloody-handed? Who is three eyed for the coming catastroph and danger?
An Oromo proverb says yoo arbi lamaan wol-lole, kan jalqaba miidhamu
margaafi haxanxariidha-which means when two elephants are fighting
each other, the first victim is the grasses and the bushes. Dr. Marara Gudina
said, The God and whites help a person who helps him/herself. I say, with-
out self-involvement, nobody can sense sexual intercourse and freedom

2.15. The voiceless killer aid

The West countries always place their interests first; they are giving the
voiceless killer aid to African dictators. I do not understand the game of
pseudo-democracy under the shadow of democracy. On one side, they are
condemning Ethiopias government dictatorship; on the other hand, they are
making powerful the Ethiopian government and, as a result, they are increas-
ing our arrests, deaths, fleeing, imprisonment, etc. If a Western citizen died,
the worlds ears stand up straight just like donkeys ears, but when we die in
thousands and millions elsewhere, maybe, its considered as depopulation

Dear voiceless people of the world, including Oromo people in Ethiopia, do

not expect your rights from someone else; do not expect your rights from
the Western governments. Freedom is not a gift which is given from other
persons to us. Freedom and having sex have no sense without self involve-
ment. Therefore, do not trust others, trust yourself; trust your power. When
our powers become high, the West will come back to our side because they
stand with a person who has power in order to impose his/her interests

Gold is Ethiopias main mineral export and has been mined

there since ancient times, primarily as alluvial or free gold.
At present, Ethiopia has a single large-scale gold mine, the Midroc Gold

226
Mine at Lega Dembi, which is an operating open pit mine in Ethiopia.
The mine was privatised and awarded to Midroc Ethiopia in 1997. A
mining license was awarded and a new company Midroc Legadem-
bi Gold Mine Share Company (Minroc Gold) commenced produc-
tion in August 1998. Average yearly production totals 4.5 t. The Lega
Dembi deposit is the largest gold producer in Ethiopia. It is situated in
late-Precambrian metamorphosed sediments of the N-S trending, vol-
cano-sedimentary Megado belt, which forms part of the late-Protero-
zoic Adola granite-greenstone terrane in southern Ethiopia,Africa.

3.32. Maybe its a world record: in 2014 Ethiopia fired

more than 16 journalists in a day

May be its a world record of violation of press freedom in Ethiopia: Ethiopia

fired at least 16 journalists in a day from one media organization in secret.
In some developed and developing countries media is taken as the fourth
estate of the country next to the Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary. Here,
the media can influence the government because its free from censorship
and acts independently. The healthy media is watering the building and
existence of democracy. In the democratic countries, the media and gov-
ernment are different institutions. But in a dictatorship like Ethiopia, me-
dia is a tool of propaganda which the government uses to propagate its
agenda, strategies, policiesthrough media like a water pump. In Ethio-
pia, all media stations are owned and controlled by the government. In
2014 the Ethiopian authorities fired at least 16 journalists in a single day.

These journalists, those dismissed from one media station in one day and
at the same time are Oromos. In Ethiopia, being a journalist and an Oro-
mo is like adding fuel to the fire. Oromos are the largest Ethnic group in
Ethiopia. It is estimated around 50 million from the 90 million total pop-
ulation of Ethiopia are Oromo. But, these Oromo people have been op-
pressed by the Abyssinian rooted-Amhara and Tigre Ethnic group with the
help of European or Western weapons since the 19th century. Especially,
Emperor Minilik got nickname, Ethiopian Hitler, he killed five million
Oromos and others. In the 1990s, three Ethiopian Ethnic groups freedom
fighters: OLF (Oromo People Liberation Front), TPLF (Tigrean People

289
Liberation Front) and EPLF (Eritrean People Liberation Front) overthrew
the Mengistu Hailemariams government and then, established the transi-
tional government with Western supervision and negotiation. During the
transitional government, the TPLF and EPLF aborted the Oromos strug-
gle by accepting advice and supervision from the powerful invisible hands.

On the other hand, 60% of Ethiopias economy comes from Oromo land
(Oromia). The back bone of Ethiopian economy such as coffee, gold, khat,
leather, cattle, etc. come from Oromia. Even, nowadays, Oromo people are
under a tyrant government: Oromo people, both intellectuals and laymen
are under attack of the TPLF government-Oromos are being arrested exiled,
massacred, marginalized.Oromos lands also are under attack: the land
is badly exploited by the TPLF military government. The TPLF is building
only one ethic group, Tigre, through economics among 80 nations and na-
tionalities. The TPLF are sharing and holding power and resources among
themselves only. It (TPLF) established others puppet and paralyzed political
organizations in the name of others and pretended to have multi-party sys-
tem. Ethiopian donators also kept quiet for the sake of their interests even
though Ethiopians are suffering from false elections and pseudo-democracy.

A thief does not want anybody to see him or her, when he/she is stealing, be-
cause a person can expose his/her doing. Likely, the Ethiopian government
(TPLF) has been demolishing media and human rights watch organizations
in Ethiopia. All the media in Ethiopia, especially broadcast media, is owned
and controlled by TPLF. Concerning the print media, many private Newspa-
pers and magazines were opened in Ethiopia after taking the paper constitu-
tion which allows freedom of expression. According to http://www.academia.
edu , following the principles of freedom of expression which was laid down
in the Ethiopian constitution of 1995, the opening up for private publica-
tions immediately led to a mushrooming of newspapers. In 2008, there were
approximately 64 Newspapers in circulation in Ethiopia (Mol, April 2008).
http://www.academia.edu/361959/Uneven_performances_by_the_private_
press_in_Ethiopia_An_analysis_of_18_years_of_press_freedom

Therefore, where are they today? Private publications are also acquiring or-
ders from TPLF-do this, and dont do this. Most of the business men/women
are either TPLF authorities and its ethic group or pro-TPLF. Media manag-
ers and editors for both broadcast and print government owned media are
assigned by TPLF government. Most media managers and editors are TPLF
cadres rather than media professionals. In Ethiopian media stations, most
of the time, there are conflicts among journalists, editors, managers and the
profession itself. Based on my background experience in Ethiopian Univer-
sity and media stations, I have many points which I want to raise. I got a
B.A. degree in journalism and communications from Mekelle University in
2007, and I started to study for an M.A. at Addis Ababa University in Jour-
nalism and Communication in 2013; however, I stopped and fled in 2014.
I have six years, work experience in Ethiopian government owned media.

290
Let me come to the point, Ethiopian universities are the smallest western
institutions or state in Ethiopia -the universities curriculum, books, teach-
ers, etc. came from the West. But the curriculum of the university and the
performance on our job after a graduation are like our two eyes, they never
see each other unless we use a mirror. One day I asked my instructor at Ad-
dis Ababa University while he was giving a lecture. Dr., we have referred
to the Western book during our study. Universities copied the Western cur-
riculum to train us like the West. But, the university and outside of univer-
sity are different and opposite bodies. We put our degree and mind here in
the university while we go to different fields of jobs. The Ethiopian govern-
ment does not allow accordingly, because its structures are full of unquali-
fied people and full of bureaucracy. There are always conflicts of ethics and
professionalism with Ethiopian government structures. Do you think that
is profitable? The instructor angrily answered what he wish. I had already
expected his answer, but I breathed and released my inside smoking anger.

Outside of a university, let me raise another point. I was hired at Oromia

Mass Media Organization which later changed its name to Oromia Radio
and Television Organization (ORTO) immediately one month after my
graduation in 2007. At the media station, there was a collection of people
with different aims and backgrounds. Some of us were university gradu-
ate with qualified education. Some of them were cadres and government
gate keepers who do not have any hint about media. I entered the work hell
for the first time. There were many university graduates, especially Oromos,
with qualified degrees, knowledgable, self-confident, and who respect to the
ethics of journalism. Were/are easily labeled as having connections with op-
position groups. The minority ethnic groups, those who hold the power in
Ethiopia by gun, always fear the majority ethnic group-Oromo. In ORTO, we
journalists were punished, demoralized, and marginalized and demoted for
no clear evidence of fault. I do not know the others journalists ideology and
their political views, but I know that we all suffered because we are Oromo.
In 2011, during the democratic uprisings spread across the Arab world,
the TPLF also feared and supposed such an uprising in Ethiopia because
it knows its biased governance. The TPLF government not only supposed
an uprising in Ethiopia, but it also started terrorizing, firing and arresting
journalists, activists, and human rights watch organizations in Ethiopia.
In Adama, from the head of ORTO, many Oromo journalists were sys-
tematically sent to very remote areas as a demotion because of their being
Oromo only. Some Oromo journalists in Adama were assigned as library
book keepers, store managers, archivists, financers, telephone reception-
ists, and fax collectors in the media station. Similarly, its not only journal-
ists but there was an Oromo driver who was assigned to watering plants
in the organization compound because of his being a watchful Oromo. In

291
my expereince at ORTO, two editors (Aga Fikadu and Beyene Fikadu),
three journalists (Shukri Awal, Tilahun Megersa and Dibabe Tesfaye), and
a driver (Million Chaka) were shifted and demoted from their positions.

In 2011, when the TPLF government and agent ORTO managers, Abera
Hailu Lucho, Mesfin Dereje, Fikadu Tefera Woldemariam, and others sent
us to remote areas, the remote local managers started to condemn us because
they feared us more than the central authorities. The lower local managers
are more dangerous than the central. Some of us feared going to very remote
areas. I went back to countryside (my birth place) and started farming as my
parents do. But the government influenced me to leave the area again. Here
is a list of journalists hired and sent to very remote areas in the first round.
1.Dandi Temesgen
2.Daniel Gebremedhin Areri
3.Gariya Tullu 1
4.Lalise Kasahun
5.Mohammad Ahmad
6.Muhdin Ahmad
7.Olansa Wakuma
8.Redi Solomon
9.Sagni Geleta
10.Solomon Hailu
11.Tarekeng Korsa
12.Waraka Yosef...

In the early beginning, after launching of Oromia Radio and Televi-

sion in 2007, two its journalists Getu Gosaye and Usman Bayu were fled
from the country. Another journalist, Badasa Hailu was also pushed
out from ORTO. In 2014, Oromo university students and Oromos mas-
sively protested against the TPLF government because of Oromo land
grabbing and displacing which came after expansion of Addis Aba-
ba in the name of Addis Ababa integrated development Master Plan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUUicIdY0Ms&spfreload=10 Many
students were shot dead in peaceful demonstrations in Ambo, Wollega, Bale
Robe, Haromeya, etc. More than 70 students and civilians were killed by
TPLF solders in a week in the Oromia Region in Western Shea, Ambo, Tokke
1 Gariya was a very energetic and watchful Oromo journalist. He asked questions and
shared his opinion without fear. But he died by car accident while searching for a job
after he was fired from the media station (ORTO). What is badly recorded in peo-
ple minds is not his death, but the government agent media manager, Mesfin Dereje,
banned transimision news of his death through Oromia Radio and TV while the other
media like Ethiopian Radio and TV, and Radio Fana transimitted news of his death.

292
Kutaye, Hinchinni, Guder, and Gedo. In Bale Robe also the TPLF soldiers
opened fire on Oromo students; it looks like the war front. Thanks to mobile
technology, every act and doing of the dictator government in Ethiopia can
be easily exposed. Please, watch this link from you tube while the Ethio-
pian (TPLF) government soldiers were killing the Oromo students (Oro-
mos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1SvfgLd8Os&spfreload=10

Oromos (students ) killed & injured by TPLF(Ethiopin soldiers in a nonviolent dem-
onstration in 2014, during master plan protesting

After the Oromo students and Oromo people protested against Oromos
land grabbing and Addis Ababa Master Plan in 2014, TPLF agents tried to
indoctrinate all Oromo journalists those worked in ORTO by giving train-
ing for one week. After a month, this media station recorded the second
round mass dismissal against Oromo journalists. Ethiopian authorities
hired at least 16 Oromo journalists in a single day; it maybe recorded for
Ethiopia as a world record in violating journalists rights and freedom of ex-
pression. Still today, after a year, nobody knows the reason of their dismissal;
even they themselves do not know why they were fired from the media sta-
tion. Here is a list of Oromo journalists those fired in the second batch:
1.Abdi Geda-producer of youth program
2.Abdisa Fufa- producer of documentary program
3.Addis Tegeny- Amharic language news reporter
4.Anuar Firrisa-Oromo language news reporter
5.Ayana Chimdessa-producer of Oromia tour program
293
 6.Bekele Atoma- Oromo language and English news reporter
7.Birra Legesse- News caster in Oromo language
8.Bosona Deressa-writer and editor of news in Oromo language
9.Ezekiel Aregaw- producer of educational program
10.Kibebew Ibsa-News writer in Oromo language
11.Merga Hangasu-producer and reporter of sport news and program
12.Obse Kasahun-news caster and presenter of entertainment program
in Oromo language
13.Olansa Wakuma-producer of documentary and educational program
14.Tilahun Megersa-reporter of ORTO website
15.Yusuf Warkasa- producer of language, culture, and tourism programs
16.Zeleke Oljira- producer of hello doctor Program

The CPJ (Committee to Protect Journalists) immediately reported as these

journalists were dismissed. https://cpj.org/blog/2014/07/twenty-ethiopia-
state-journalists-dismissed-in-hid.php According to CPJ reports, because of
fear of being imprisoned more than 41 Ethiopian journalists are in exile since
2009. CPJ added that Ethiopia is the second worst jailer of journalists in Af-
rica, trailing only Eritrea, with 17 journalists currently behind bars. They are
all imprisoned on trumped-up charges or none at all, as CPJ research shows.
Ingoing reporting on the violation of freedom of expression in Ethiopia, CPJ
listed the following Ethiopian journalists, and bloggers who were imprisoned.
