Maqaan keenya tokkuma
Walumatti waamamna
Madaan keenyas tokkuma
Walumatti dhaanamna!

Warri olaantummaaf boo’u
Gaafa nu cabsu ceekuu
Amantaas ta’e gandaan
Nu mararfatee hin beeku!

“Na hin ilaallatu” jettee
Of hin sobiin yaa tiru
Oromoo taatee of taanaan
Isaaniif firri hin jiru!

Kan boodaa dura - kan duraa booda
Waan biyya kanaa hundumtuu hooda!

Inni tokko; Afaansaa cabe, aadaasaa badeef
Quuqqaa dubbata
Inni tokko; Si bulchuun dhabe, si saamuun dhabeef
Gurraacha uffata!

Yoom oolee buleree
Bineensa afaan bu’e
“Utuu…" jedhee gaabbiin
Quba nyaachaa du’e!

Free journalists and independent media houses are the core values of democratic culture. Stop the crackdown, free all unlawfully detained journalists. Make a real move towards national dialogue/ reconciliation.

According to the CPJ, Ethiopia remained the second African country for jailing journalists next to Eritrea.

Eyasped Tesfaye, a co-founder and editor in chief of @Ubuntu_TV is unlawfully detained for 36 days with no court hearing or charges. Free our colleague, Journalism is not a crime.

National dialogue and political reconciliation are nothing but a daydream without having free medias watchdogging the process. End the media crackdown, free the unlawfully detained journalists. Give Ethiopia a chance.

[Leta Kenei Aga @Letakenei]

Journalists in Ethiopia are in total shock and constant self-censorship following the systematic crackdown by the government using a wartime SoE. Releasing journalists is a foundation for a better media environment in Ethiopia.

[Leta Kenei Aga @Letakenei]

Political analyst @eyasped is unwell in detention & has received a hospital referral for better treatment but the government has turned down his request - a denial of access to healthcare, a basic human right.

Thousands of Oromo political prisoners (leaders, activists, Qeerroo, Qarree) are still languishing in prisons and concentration camps across Oromia.

@eyasped Tesfaye, human rights advocate and activist, has been arrested today along with other activists. His arrest clearly indicates that ideas and arguments have no place in #Ethiopia.

The Oromo people have spoken up for the protection of human rights, democracy and demanded freedom on Irreecha Festival held in Finfinne/Addis Ababa and Bishoftu on October 2 and 3, 2021. People chanted #FreeJawarMohammed , #FreeBekeleGerba, #FreeOromoLeaders

[Leta Kenei Aga @Letakenei]

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 it! @UN @SecBlinken #FreeOromoLeaders

[Leta Kenei Aga @Letakenei]

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
