The flawlessly organised election robbery that took place in Ethiopia on May 24 is now concluded with the unpopular ruling EPRDF party wining by a landslide. Over 37 million registered voters out of the 96 million people reportedly cast their ballots in the said parliamentary and regional election. Based on preliminary results that was released by the country’s electoral board, the highly unpopular ruling EPRDF and its affiliate parties so far won all of the 442 declared seats, leaving the opposition empty-handed.

JOINT STATEMENT

The Tigray dictatorial ruling class was built on excessive military power. The regime indulged the country into extreme poverty. The corruption of the ruling class was one of the main machinery that put the country into the highest level of economic inequalities where the few members of the ruling class became the richest and the majority of the citizens are unable to even earn their daily bread. This high level of inequality resulted into absolute poverty, migration and loss of lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Today hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian people are living in hunger and insecurity in their own country. Some are cherished in Sahara desert and Mediterranean Sea while they were trying to escape from unfair and abusive government.
For the last 24 years, since the Tigray ruling class came to power, the corruption, displacement of people and human rights abuses have increased with the tremendous speed. This misery darken the political space and eradicated people’s hope for democracy. The Ethiopian people have been denied political freedom and rights of expression of their opinions. In this current regime, it is a crime to have different political opinion rather than supporting the Tigray ruling class’s party. The Ethiopian regime recorded highest level of Human rights abuses, killings, and intimidations not only in African continent but also in the world.

(Bloomberg Business) — A month before Ethiopia’s elections, opposition activist Getahun Abraham walked into a compound of government offices in the southern town of Gimbichu, doused his body in gasoline and set himself alight. It took more than 10 minutes for bystanders to extinguish the flames.

“We were in a meeting when we heard a scream,” local police chief Moges Bafe recalled of the day the 25-year-old physics teacher committed suicide. “When we ran out, he was burning and we also screamed. The fire looked like a big house was being burned.”

For immediate Release

It is cruel, brutal and inhumane to hang any PERSON

for any wrongdoing particularly in Ethiopia, a country that claims democracy is its core principle of governance. The execution of Ketama Wubetu and his FRIEND

by Ethiopian solders- by hanging on a fence- on December 09, 2014 in Salale zone of Dera District in the REGIONAL

State of Oromia was barbaric. If the hanged men were members of an opposition group fighting against the government, once they were captured they should have been brought to justice.

UK government accused of sponsoring human rights abuses in Ethiopia

Leaked Report Says World Bank Violated Own Rules in Ethiopia

A development project funded by the UK government and run by the World Bank could be facilitating a violent resettlement program

in Ethiopia that has been dogged by allegations of forced displacement, physical assaults and rape, a leaked report suggests.

Britain’s Department for International Development (DfID) is the primary sponsor of the World Bank’s foreign aid initiative, supposedly set up to improve basic health, education and public services in Ethiopia. It has attracted over £388 million in UK taxpayer’s money to date.

According to a leaked report, obtained by the International Consortium for Investigative Journalists, the seemingly benign aid program is facilitating a controversial resettlement scheme driven by the Ethiopian government.

‘Ethiopia’s media crackdown is bad news for Africa’

Without a free press in Addis Ababa, Africans are being locked out of the important decisions being made in their de facto capital, writes Simon Allison

“Ethiopia’s media should be playing a crucial role in the May elections, but instead many journalists fear that their next article could get them thrown in jail.”

January 23, 2015 (The Guardian) — It’s not easy being a journalist in Ethiopia. In fact, it’s nearly impossible, according to a new 76-page Human Rights Watch report that documents the scale of the state’s censorship apparatus. As a journalist, it makes for highly disturbing reading.

“Ethiopia’s media should be playing a crucial role in the May elections, but instead many journalists fear that their next article could get them thrown in jail.”

The authors of the report spoke to 70 Ethiopian journalists, many in exile, who painted a dismal picture of the state of Ethiopian media. The government exerts control in many different ways – some subtle, some quite the opposite.

Legal, Policy Reforms Crucial Prior to May Elections

January 22, 2015, Nairobi (Human Rights Watch) – The Ethiopian government’s systematic repression of independent media has created a bleak landscape for free expression ahead of the May 2015 general elections, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. In the past year, six privately owned publications closed after government harassment; at least 22 journalists, bloggers, and publishers were criminally charged, and more than 30 journalists fled the country in fear of being arrested under repressive laws.

The 76-page report, “‘Journalism is Not a Crime’: Violations of Media Freedom in Ethiopia,” details how the Ethiopian government has curtailed independent reporting since 2010. Human Rights Watch interviewed more than 70 current and exiled journalists between May 2013 and December 2014, and found patterns of government abuses against journalists that resulted in 19 being imprisoned for exercising their right to free expression, and that have forced at least 60 others into exile since 2010.

“Ethiopia’s government has systematically assaulted the country’s independent voices, treating the media as a threat rather than a valued source of information and analysis,” said Leslie Lefkow, deputy Africa director. “Ethiopia’s media should be playing a crucial role in the May elections, but instead many journalists fear that their next article could get them thrown in jail.”

Woyane Sentences Three Britons to Jail on Terrorism Charges

Two Britons have been jailed in Ethiopia over terrorism

January 15, 2014 (Bloomberg) — An Ethiopian court sentenced three British citizens to prison after finding them guilty of trying to establish Islamic rule in the country through acts of “terrorism,” according to a Justice Ministry official.

Ali Adorus was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in Ethiopian prison, while Somalia-born Mohammed Ahmed and Ahmed Elmi were each given jail terms of four years and eight months, Fekadu Tsega, coordinator of the federal center of prosecution, said by phone yesterday from the capital, Addis Ababa.

“They were accused of trying to unconstitutionally change the government and introduce Islamic government in Ethiopia by terrorism,” he said.

Sad News: Five Oromo refugees die on the Sudanese-Libya border

Report by Boruu Barraaqaa | January 18, 2015

Dungujee Ittanaa (from her facebook profile)

According to a close source, five Oromo refugees have reportedly died and other wounded after they just crossed the border into Libya. The report didn’t identify the exact date and time of the accident, but confirmed that it happened in the last week.

More than half a dozen Oromo refugees were carried on the back of an old Toyota pickup owned by human traffickers when the accident happened. The car was heading from Khartoum to Tripoli, crossing the dangerous Sahara Desert with the haphazard fast speed.

The reason that caused the accident was also said to be driving with the highest speed in attempt to escape from the border police.

The source identified Dunguje Itana, a sister of Feven Itana, a famous spiritual (Christian) singer in Afan Oromo was one of the victims. Dunguje, who was a businesswoman and had her own house in Finfine had gotten her house being demolished by government forces under the pretext of ‘illegally built house’, said the report.

She was left with no compensation for her demolished house, moreover, previously she had been experienced prolonged persecution by government militias in Finfinnee due to her allegiance to being OLF supporter, added the report.

MINNEAPOLIS MAY SOON GET A COMMEMORATIVE OROMO STREET

JANUARY

10, 2015 OPride) — The Minneapolis City PLANNING

Commission will hold a public hearing on Jan. 12 to decide on Council Member Abdi Warsame’s APPLICATION

for commemorative street names along the city’s Cedar riverside area. Warsame’s proposal calls for 4th Street South between Cedar Avenue and 15th Avenue South to be named “Oromo Street,” and for the stretch between 6th Street and Cedar Avenue to 15th avenue South to be called “Somali Street.”

The hearing is scheduled to take place at 4:30 p.m in Room 317 City Hall, 350 S 5th street in Minneapolis, Minn. The proposal is backed by the city’s Department of Public Works and the Department of Community Planning and Economic Development, according to the Commission’s website. The Commission’s decisions are FINAL

unless appealed.

For a city that boasts the largest population of both Oromo and Somali immigrants, such recognition would be a welcome development. The Cedar Riverside neighborhood is jokingly called little Mogadishu because of its large Somali residents while Minnesota is widely known as “Little Oromia” among Oromos. HOME

to the largest Somali population in the U.S., Minnesota has an estimated 40,000 Oromos. The Oromo are THE SINGLE

largest ethnic group in Ethiopia, constituting nearly half of the country’s 94 million population.
