Gambella Nilotes Army Condemns Killing Oromos for Their Land

GNUM


Press Release
15th May 2014, Gambella
“Ethiopian Government Must Stop Killing Oromos for their Land”

Gambella Nilotes United Movement/Army (GNUM/A) condemns the mass killing perpetuated by the TPLF-Led Ethiopian government’s security forces against the Oromo University students and other innocent civilians which occurred in many parts of Oromia Region particularly in Ambo Zone since last two weeks. The students were peacefully demonstrating their constitutional right for the Oromo farmers who were/are forcefully and illegally evicted from their ancestral land around Finfine (Addis Ababa) due to new Addis Ababa Integrated Master Plan imposed upon them.

IOYA Appeal Letter

IOYA_Logo

Dear Sir, Madam,
We are reaching out to you as the Board of officers of the International Oromo Youth Association (IOYA) whose nation is in turmoil back in Oromia, Ethiopia. Recently, Oromo students have been protesting against the new Addis Ababa “Integrated Master Plan” which aims at incorporating smaller towns surrounding Addis Ababa for the convenience of vacating land for investors by displacing millions of Oromo farmers. As a political move, this will essentially result in the displacement of the indigenous peoples and their families. Oromo farmers will be dispossessed of their land and their survival both economic and cultural terms will be threatened. The Oromos strongly believe that this plan will expose their natural environment to risk, threaten their economic means of livelihood (subsistence farming), and violate their constitutional rights.

OromoProtests FDG Updates: Two Oromo Students of Rift Valley University Killed in Adama; Also the Nekemte Hospital’s Ward Filled with Oromo Students Brutally Injured by the Ethiopian TPLF Authorities During the Nonviolent #OromoProtests FDG

According to sources, two Oromo students of the Rift Valley University – identified as Bilisuma Lami and Milisha Belete, were killed by what is believed to be a premeditated and government-sponsored car accident in Adama on May 16, 2014. The two had been arrested and put in prison for peacefully protesting against the Addis Ababa Master Plan for the last two weeks, and it was only a few days ago that they were released from prison when the accident took their lives.
Meanwhile, it’s been reported that one Nekemte Hospital’s ward is still highly crowded with severely injured Oromo students (see photos below). The students were brutally injured, most recently on May 14, 2014, by the Ethiopian TPLF authorities during the nonviolent #OromoProtests FDG against the Addis Ababa Master Plan, which aims to evict millions of Oromo farmers from their lands in Central Oromiyaa, especially around the Oromiyaan districts surrounding Addis Ababa (which is known as Finfinnee by the indigenous Oromo people).

Atlanta’s Oromo Community Protesting Against The Tyrant Ethiopian Government And Challenging Cnn To Cover The Ongoing Crisis!

Screen-Shot

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!

Executive Committee of Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC): Continue the Struggle Until the Addis Ababa Master Plan is Cancelled; Until a Neutral Inquiry Commission is Established for Justice; Until Political Prisoners are Freed

We want to appreciate the sacrifices of Oromo diaspora in holding demonstrations worldwide in solidarity with #OromoProtests. The Minnesota hunger strike should be the best model that all Oromo communities around the world should follow.
We appeal to all Oromos in the diaspora and at home to face the national challenge by taking the following actions:
