My congratulations to US President-Elect @JoeBiden and Vice President-Elect @KamalaHarris on your historic #Election2020 win. #Ethiopia looks forward to working closely with you.
Today Madda walabu university professor,Mr Fekadu killed by govt security forces. Authorities claimed Mr Fekadu was a member of militant group which is a fabricated story to justify the killing. No arrest warrant , no trial ,no sentence, just shot and killed him at the spot. @hrw
@wdavison10 still hasn't apologised for publishing a piece that collectively demonised the more than 45 million Oromos as “blind haters”. This statement is hateful & offensive. Is @CrisisGroup okay with its ‘senior analyst’ using his position to disparage a marginalised group?
Ethiopia’s media landscape was historically defined&dominated by state actors whose ideological convictions were viscerally Oromophobic & Islamophobic. It still remains so incl.among z private sector’s gutter press, whose true characters are shaped by this historical backdrop

Imagine your child going out to peacefully protest. Unarmed, vulnerable, but with such bravery & moral clarity that inspires awe & you find out he was gunned down by security forces in cold blood.Can you imagine what that does to the psyche of the community let alone his parents?
