We, The People of #Ethiopia demand:
1. Independent investigation into the assassination of #HaacaaluuHundeessaa
2. Immediate resignation of PM @AbiyAhmedAli
3. The end of extrajudicial killings of civilians
4. The release of all political prisoners
5. Free and fair #Election2020

Hello Oromo twitter and friends! Please join this twitter campaign. This is to bring to the worlds attention the mass incarceration of civilian population in #Oromia regional state & the deliberate exposure to Covid-19 of those incarcerated by the Ethiopian government.

Addis Ababa, a quintessentially racist colonial endeavour, is founded on the sacred grounds of the Tulama Oromo who were dispossessed and removed through acts of state terror. The rottenness of the city's insufferable new elite and their liberal pretensions is just astonishing.

THE POLITICAL TRIAL OF JAWAR, BEKELE et al AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

It is obvious that the the constitutional mandate of Abiy government expires September 30, 2020. His indefinite postponement of the election is completely rejected.

[Addis Standard @addisstandard]

Inside the trial of #Ethiopia's opposition politicians https://t.co/lS3JlR6lqg Independent media are barred from covering the pretrial hearings of what's arguably the highest profile prosecution of opposition political leaders & members.

But here is what AS has from lawyers.

@AbiyAhmedAli So, my childish PM @AbiyAhmedAli blocked me for stating these facts lmao
We are not going to be silenced no matter how much y’all try. #AbiyMustGo

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

@AbiyAhmedAli Just as much half the population of the nation is Muslim, half the Oromo people is also muslim. And these people and the whole Oromo nation are still mourning the loss of their beloved son Haacaaluu, unlawful arrest of their political leaders and full scale war on their identity.

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

@AbiyAhmedAli With “political leaders”? 🤔
This gotta be a joke. You have them all in jail and talk about “fruitful meeting” with competing political parties?
May be you should’ve visited your torture chambers for that

The son of political prisoner Bekele Gerba has said that him and his siblings were told to “leave before there’s a problem” when they went to visit their father in prison.

According to reports I am receiving, several members of the prosperity party (Oromia branch) are getting arrested.

A typical example of the saying - "The beast you feed eats you first!"

[Hᴇɴᴏᴋ G. Gᴀʙɪsᴀ @henokgabisa]

Journalists of Ethiopian background who are in a race with themselves to portray as if Amharas in Oromia are targeted, when it’s in fact the Oromo who is being killed at unproportional rate. And it’s Oromo being incarcerated en mass.

Where where you when wallo Is targeted?

[René Lefort @rene_renelefort]

1. Arat Kilo pointed out the TPLF for leading directly or indirectly the plan to create “chaos” in liaison with “foreign countries”. Today, to accuse Tsadkan of "passing classified materials to terrorists, and intent to incite violence", is not only ridiculous but also outrageous

[Girma Gutema (PhDid) @Abbaacabsa]

The mass arrest by chaotic regime in #Ethiopia turning bizarre.Guess what, they turned most of the schools in Oromia, also in the capital Finfinne, into prisons but still due to lack of space, they randomly release detainees aftr days of detention without charges. #OromoProtests

[Urgé Dinegde @UrgeDinegde]

You can amplify the voices of over 40M people & ensure iconic musician, #HaacaaluuHundeessaa’s hopes to see his people truly free are fully realised. Share using #OromoProtests so our demands are heard & met. A husband, father, beloved storyteller, the voice of a generation. RIP.

[Awol Allo @awolallo]

Ethiopia faces two central challenges: structural anomalies entangled with country's imperial past & an authoritarian culture. Fixing Ethiopia requires strategic foresight, knowledge & appreciation of history. Abiy has none & his messiah complex doesn't allow him to take advice

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

@HermesTsion Waadaadha!! ✊🏾🙏🏾😢

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

Hence, we The People of #Ethiopia demand PM @AbiyAhmedAli’s immediate resignation and an end to a cycle of failed dictatorship that all the past regimes and current one failed to learn from their predecessors. Nothing will be done without your constituents blessing.

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

An assassination of a popular singer-activist #HaacaaluuHundeessaa followed by a massive crackdown against all opposition voices across the nation with #Ethiopia’s #Election2020 coming up shows us that the much hoped for reform under PM @AbiyAhmedAli has proved leadership failure

[Baro @BaroTumsaX]

#HaacaaluuHundeessaa got assassinated and the man he always fought for and many others with the same political view are now thrown in jail starting the same day he was murdered simply for having an opinion while #Oromo in #Ethiopia.

[Awol Allo @awolallo]

Abiy's government must release Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, and others currently in detention. Over the last two years, his government made several strategic blunders, mismanaged the transition and wasted the massive opportunity he had for reconciliation and healing. 1/3
