ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (VOA News) — Are you a journalist?” the young man asks me as we board the elevator.
In Ethiopia, this is a loaded question.  It earned me an extra 45-minute wait at airport immigration as officials thumbed through my passport, pawed through my luggage and asked me what my intentions were.

Joint Statement By Ogden Liberation Front (ONLF ), Sidama Liberation Front (SLF)& Oromo Liberation Front(OLF)

 

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.

Garagarummaa Dhaabota Oromoo gidduu; Difference between Oromoo Organizations

Oromoo tahu taatotaa malee garagarummaa akeekaa fulduratt fidanii kan irratt mari’achiisan hin jirani.

Difference between Oromoo Organizations There are many organization founded by Oromiyaan nationals. But they have differences in the way they view objectives of Oromo struggle. Except about the actors being Oromoo, no one brought forward those differences for discussion. For this reason whenever people in different camps clash verbally or in writing, questions that seem criticism “Why do you gang up against each other leaving the enemy aside?” had been arising from different directions.
