May 14, 2014 (gadaa) — #OromoProtests FDG continued at Wallaggaa
University in the Nekemte Campus on May 14, 2014 to demand that the Addis Ababa Master Plan
be annulled, and to demand for the institutionalization of the Special
Interests of Oromiyaa over Finfinnee per the Constitution. The Addis
Ababa Master Plan is termed as the Master “Genocide” Plan by Oromo
activists as it aims to evict millions of Oromo farmers around Addis
Ababa (whose Oromo name is Finfinnee), and hand out the land to local
and foreign land-grabbers – with the Chinese being main actors of the
ongoing land-grabbing campaigns in Oromia/Ethiopia.
According to sources, three Oromo students were reported dead at the Wallaggaa University May 14,
Atlanta,
Georgia, 15 May 2014 (OromoTV) – We the Oromo Community of Atlanta,
Georgia gather at the CNN Headquarters to demand the Ethiopian
government immediately halt all the senseless killings of innocent University students
throughout Ethiopia. We ask CNN and its affiliates as trusted and
reliable sources of media to launch a diligent and timely investigation
on the current crisis in Ethiopia and draw attention to the
indiscriminate killings of innocent students. Furthermore, we demand the
Obama Administration unequivocally condemn the actions of the
Ethiopian Government and urgently take action to end the massacre!
Students are being murdered for peacefully protesting against the Addis
Ababa Master Plan which would expand the capital city and annex land
from farmers in the surrounding area. This planed annexation is in
violation of United Nations and African Union Charters on Human Rights.
According to reports from trusted sources, since April 25, 2014 as many
as 100 civilians have been murdered by government forces. In addition
500 have been injured, while over 5000 students have been detained at
unknown camps! Read more…
