Dozens of Ethiopian migrants burned to death in an overcrowded detention center in Yemen after Houthi forces fired teargas projectiles, according to Human Rights Watch.
Earlier today we heard devastating reports that approx 450 Oromo refugees were killed by a bomb thrown at a prison in Yemen where they were held 💔 Too many of our people flee persecution at home, only to face grave danger abroad. #OromoProtests#FreeOromia#StarvingForJustice
If free & fair elections were held in Oromia, #Ethiopia, the Prosperity Party knows it wouldn't stand a chance. It has thus resorted to violence, arresting OFC & OLF leaders & closing down their offices. #OromoProtests@SenatorMenendez@SenatorRisch@ChrisVanHollen
Please join us tomorrow as we hold an urgent candlelight vigil for the 400+ Oromos that lost their lives in Yemen. 6PM at the Oromo Community of MN 🕯🙏🏽 https://t.co/oN0YUIF9eo
In the time of hate and anger, it is crucial to find some that use their fame and gravitas for reconciliation and peace! I heard many elders and true hero Athelete Derartu Tulu beg, pleaded and cried asking the prisoners on hunger strike to stop the hunger strike after 37 days.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un
450 oromos have been burned alive in Yemen, Sana’a. It hurt to see my people getting killed like it’s nothing & the world is quite about it💔

🚨 Oromo prisoners of conscience, including Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, & Hamza Borana, have been on hunger strike for 31 DAYS 🚨
Their lives are in critical danger. We cannot let them die.

Bekele Gerba is a gentle soul with a firm conviction that nonviolent resistance is the only way forward. He translated a collection of MLK’s writings and speeches into Afaan #Oromo. Now his life is on the line in the custody of the #Ethiopia-n gov. #StarvingForJustice#Oromo
