There is a Facebook page using the name of a member of our delegation, Prof Mohammed Hassan, that is spreading falsehoods. Please be aware that Prof Mohammed does not have a Facebook account.

The news of the disappearance of OLF leadership from police custody is deeply troubling.

They shouldn’t have been held in detention in the first place. They are freed by a court of law on multiple occasions. What the state needs to do is to release them unconditionally, not disappear them.

Release them already! Your own court of law said they don’t belong to your gulags.

Amnesty & HRW in 2020 wrote mass arrests & extrajudicial killings in #Oromia began long before the Tigray war. #ICRC must locate & observe prisoners NOW. #FreeAllOromoPoliticalPrisoners @AsstSecStateAF @amnestyEARO @antonioguterres @AmbMKimani @secblinken…

This is a good move by Twitter, though I believe it should have been done long time ago.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

This is a welcome move from #Twitter. But very late. Previous complaints to Twitter about hate speech have been ignored. Especially important to monitor posts in Ethiopian languages

Defections from the Oromia Special Forces and ENDF has continued unabated. There is a lot of anger within their ranks in regards to the treatment of the troops sent north. Many defectors have friends who were executed for trying to escape before being deployed north.
