HRLHA Urgent Action

May 7, 2013

The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) would like to express its deep concern over the negligence of both the federal and regional governments in Ethiopia regarding the violence that has been going on for about six months against the Oromos in Eastern Hararge Zone of Oromia Regional State.

According to reports obtained by HRLHA from different sources, this government-backed violence that has been going on in the name of border dispute around the Anniya, Jarso and Miyesso districts between the Oromia and Ogaden regional states has already resulted in the death and/or disappearance of 37 Oromo nationals and the displacement of about 20,000 others. Around 700 different types of cattle and other valuable possessions are also reported to have been looted. The reports indicate that the violence has been backed by two types of armed forces (the Federal Liyou/Special Police and the Ogaden Militia) from the Ogadenis side, while on the side of the Oromos, even those who demonstrated the intentions of defending themselves in the same manner were disarmed, dispossessed and detained. Despite these facts, the reports also dissociate the Ogadeni nationals from the violence mentioning that they have never made claims of ownership of the piece of land in the name of which the government-backed violence has been taking place. HRLHA has also learnt that the said piece of land was demarcated and declared to be part of Oromia Regional State during the 1996 referendum.

Among the 37 dead and/or disappeared Oromos Mohamed Kasim and Kadir Ali were local Oromo elders who were killed by the armed government forces in an effort to resolve the violence in a peaceful manner. According to HRLHA informants from Anniya, the hundreds of thousands of displaced Oromos from Rasa Harre, Marfata, Qillee, Mulqee, Dirraa, Waldayyaa, Biqqoo and Libee community fled to the highland areas in Eastern Hararge Zone in search of temporary shelters and other basic needs. The reports add that the displaced Oromos did not get any kind of help from any local, regional, or federal sources. More worrisome is that there are no hints as to when and where the violence against innocent civilians is going to end. Besides, the fact that the governments at various levels turned blind eyes and deaf ears toward such deadly and destructive violence for this all time strengthens the HRLHA is a non-political organization (with the UN Economic and Social Council – (ECOSOC) Consultative Status) which attempts to challenge abuses of human rights of the people of various nations and nationalities in the Horn of Africa.

allegations that the federal government and the ruling party are behind the conspiracy of clearing the area suspected of harbouring armed opposition groups of anything on it.

The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa urges the Ethiopian Federal Government and the Regional Government of Oromia to discharge their responsibilities of ensuring the safety and stability of citizens by taking immediate actions of interference to bring the violence to end facilitate the return of the displaced Oromos back to their homes. It also calls upon all local, regional and international diplomatic and human rights organizations to impose necessary pressures on both the federal and regional governments so that they refrain from committing irresponsible actions against their own citizens for the purpose of political gains.

RE: OSA’s Appeal Letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry in Advance of his Trip to Ethiopia

Dear Honorable Mr. Kerry,

I am writing this letter on behalf of the Oromo Studies Association (OSA), a scholarly organization established by Oromo and non-Oromo scholars to promote studies on and relevant to the Oromo people, the largest ethno-national group in the Horn of Africa constituting about 40% of the Ethiopian population. We have learned from the media outlets about your planned trip to Ethiopia to attend the AU summit in Addis Ababa (Finfinnee) from May 19 to 27, 2013. While we welcome your trip to Africa and appreciate the desire of the United States to actively engage in the continent, we are gravely concerned that your trip to Ethiopia and your contact with the Ethiopian authorities might be construed as your government’s endorsement of the minority TPLF-led Ethiopian government’s crimes against humanity and its continuous human rights violations against the Oromo and other peoples of the country. These crimes have been consistently and repeatedly well documented, among several other reliable sources, by the US State Department annual reports on Ethiopia.

First program of its kind in Minnesota matches Oromo children with adult mentors

- More about BBBS of the Greater Twin Cities

SAINT PAUL, MN – Oromo Academic Skills Builders, a new program from Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities (BBBS) and the American Oromo Community of Minnesota, will launch on May 16. The program is designed to help Oromo children learn the skills they need for academic and personal success.

Oromo children ages 7 to 12, many of whom are the children of refugees, will be paired with adult volunteer mentors. Mentors and children will meet weekly at the Liberty Plaza Resource Center in Saint Paul to read, play games and share activities designed to enhance the academic strengths, cultural understanding and developmental assets of each child.

“Mentoring is important, especially for the Oromo community,” said Najaha Musse, BBBS Oromo Program Coordinator. “Oromo kids may struggle academically and socially, and they bare an additional burden of cultural struggle. They have to reconcile their identity in American society.”

An East African ethnic group, the Oromo come from Ethiopia, northern Kenya and parts of Somalia. The largest population of stateside Oromo live in the Twin Cities.

Oromo Academic Skills Builders is “phase two” of BBBS’s Oromo Mentoring Program, which became the first mentoring program in the state to work with this growing minority group when it began last fall.

One-on-one mentoring relationships will help Oromo youths develop the same key assets that are standard for all of BBBS’s mentoring initiatives, namely, improving self-confidence, ability to relate to others, and academic performance.

Adult volunteer mentors, of whom about half are Oromo and half from other backgrounds, are being recruited from among students at local colleges and universities. All mentors receive nationally approved BBBS training to help them work effectively with children.

Individuals who would like to enroll their children or volunteer themselves should contact BBBS. Oromo Academic Skills Builders is made possible with support from The Sheltering Arms, Bigelow, and Marbrook Foundations.

T.F YKN Addaamuu Nairobi Keniya irraa

The following is an article from the Oromo Liberation Front’s Info Desk. The Afan Oromo and Amharic versions of the article were posted earlier here.

Successive Ethiopian regimes worked against the Oromo. A comparatively larger population, wide geographic area and immense economic resources of Oromia have been viewed by these regimes in Ethiopia as the threat to their naked ambition for domination for which reason they targeted Oromo as an object of fear and hate. Leaving the past regimes’ horrific acts against the Oromo for history we will cite few samples from the current regime.

For the last 22 years of its reign, the current Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) regime has been pitting other nations and nationalities, previously co-exiting with the Oromo people in harmony, against the latter in every direction, under the guise of peoples-based federation. This has been one of the regime’s standing policies against the Oromo.

Having Oromos killed, raped, their properties destroyed, physically displaced and their fertile land appended to the neighbouring peoples’ thereby changing the demography of the area, has been going on since the current regime came to power. In the west of Oromia the regime have mobilized and armed elements of the Gumuz people against the Oromo, after previously disarming the latter, which resulted in the death and displacement of hundreds of innocent persons and loss of millions of dollars worth of property. In the south and east the same plot has been going on pitting different Somali tribes against the Oromo. The Borana and Gujii Oromo in the south have faced the same ordeal while their appeal and inquiries from other Oromo nationals were deflected under the cover-up explanation of ‘traditional clashes between tribes on grazing land and water wells’. The number of lives lost through this criminal policy of the TPLF regime in different parts of Oromia is in the thousands.

All this instigation of conflict with every possible neighbouring people is done to prevent the Oromo from transforming its human and material resources into a force to counter the regime’s overall domination. It is only a continuation of the war TPLF declared on the Oromo people as primary enemy and persistently carried on, using its own armed forces and agents, to this day.

The current phenomenon going on in eastern Oromia is the same process continued on a higher level of coordination between the heavily armed regular ‘special police force’ and the state trained and armed bordering Somali tribal militia unleashed against the Anniyyaa and other Oromo, with very high atrocities so far. Oromos are killed, dispossessed and evicted. Hundreds, including women and children, have been massacred to date, unknown amount of property looted, several villages burned and vast swathes of land taken using misguided Somali tribal elements whose mind set is stuck in the old ‘greater Somalia’ dream. This ordeal has been going on for more than half a year uninterrupted.

As a nation under occupation of and ruled by an alien regime that is bent on keeping Oromo disarmed defenceless and constantly at risk, the only alternative to local residents is either to put up resistance bare-handedly and die or abandon their ancestral homesteads in the face of the government directed well trained and armed aggression.

There is no question that all the nations, nationalities and peoples in Ethiopia are suffering under the dictatorship of the TPLF. However, the intensity of oppression the Oromo nation is experiencing is exceptional in that the regime is bent on neutralizing Oromia’s vast human and material resources and its strategic centrally located landmass, sharing boundary with almost all the nations and nationalities in Ethiopia. An exceptional subjugation of the Oromo demands an exceptional solution to terminate.

Some may naively question why the so-called Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO), which was created and is run by the TPLF, does not defend the Oromo against such blatant aggression carried out in the name of neighbouring people. The fact remain that conscientious elements in the OPDO are themselves victims of the relentless harassment and humiliation their people are subjected to and cannot even protect themselves let alone defending the people. The rest are simply enlisted to implement the whims of their TPLF masters and nothing more than a conduit between the TPLF and the Oromo people. While the entity is fundamentally organized to perpetuate TPLF occupation speaking in Oromo language, we leave it to the conscience of every Oromo serving this system how they can possibly justify standing idly by and watching this ordeal the Oromo people.

As has always been the case, there is only one solution for the Oromo, get organized and resist! Succumbing to aggression that comes to your doorsteps will only encourage further aggression. It is the success of the original aggression and occupation that paved the way for the current ones. The fundamental objective of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and its Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) is to end occupation and all its consequences. It is the duty of every Oromo to contribute all he/she can to strengthen this force numerically and materially so that all sorts of aggressions are quickly brought to an end. The peace loving culture of the Oromo is being challenged by the TPLF regime by every means. In so doing the regime has committed crimes against humanity for which it shall be held accountable.

We have a message for nations, nationalities and peoples who neighbour with Oromia, those whose regions are fully located in Oromia and non-Oromo individuals living among the Oromo. Let us all be mindful that TPLF occupation will come to its ignominious end through our concerted struggles. Taking the side of the TPLF aggressors in the current conflict and working against your Oromo brothers for temporary benefits can only perpetuate oppression and actually harm the eternal neighbourly relations between our peoples which shall remains enduring. Oromo has done no harm to you. Neither will this condition of unarmed and defenceless Oromo last forever, it will change.

Furthermore, since the TPLF regime is committing crime against humanity and war crimes in Oromia, for which they shall b held accountable, there is no way that those who participate in the regime’s crimes will avoid being accountable for their share in the atrocities. TPLF is well known for its ‘use and throw’ policy for persons and groups it makes use of. It can use anyone against any other to advance its particular interests. Besides, it remains our common oppressor. This regime will inevitably fall, and the future is more important for all our peoples. Do not harm the historical harmonious relation you have had with the Oromo people. We should rather cooperate and hasten the downfall of this oppressive regime and work together for our common progress.

Victory to the Oromo People!

His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General
Office of the Secretary General of United Nations
885 Second Avenue
New York, NY 10017, USA

RE: OSA’s Appeal Letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about the Conflict in Eastern Oromia, Ethiopia

Your Excellency Ki-moon:

I am writing on behalf of the Oromo Studies Association (OSA), a scholarly organization established by Oromo and non-Oromo scholars to promote studies on and relevant to the Oromo and other people of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa. The Oromo, the largest ethno-national group in the Horn of Africa, constitute 40% of the Ethiopian population. The coalition of the ruling party which has dominated Ethiopian political landscape since 1991 is controlled by the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The TPLF, which fears Oromo numerical strength in any free and fair election, has systematically destroyed all independent Oromo organizations in Ethiopia. The TPLF even destroyed the Oromo Relief Association, a non-profit organization that assisted the people who were affected by draught and famine.
