I am filled with anticipation and nervousness as I await the outcomes of the talks in Tanzania between OLA-OLF and the Ethiopian government. I hope for positive news that will benefit the Oromo people.
We are saddened by the news of the passing on of Hon. Phaustine Werimo (Kakamega County Assembly)this afternoon. Phaustine was a dedicated member of our party & member of @OdmWomen where she played a big role. We pray for the family, friends & relatives during this trying moment.
In 2015 EPRDF announced 100% election ‘victory’ and faced 3 years of unwavering protest in w/h the ppl won. The Administration of Abiy is going the same path but not gonna survive even that long. @UN@SecBlinken@USAID@ChrisCoons#FreeOromoLeaders
Space for peaceful political engagements is closed hence there is armed resistance in most parts of Oromia, Tigray, benishangul, Afar, and konso. @UN@SecBlinken@USAID@ChrisCoons#FreeOromoLeaders
In Ethiopia, the rule of tyranny has replaced the rule of law. Ethiopian prisons are filled with Oromo political leaders and youths. Abiy betrayed the very people that brought him to power. @UN@SecBlinken@USAID@ChrisCoons#FreeOromoLeaders
Almost all political prisoners in Ethiopia are Oromo. It is systematic oppression. Government has used lethal force on protesters who opposed this injustice. That is why people used Irreecha event to denounce the Administration of Abiy! @UN@SecBlinken#FreeOromoLeaders
