The following is a press release from the Coordinating Committee of the Candlelight Vigil.

We call upon all Oromos in Phoenix, Arizona, to join us for the candlelight vigil ceremony in memory of martyr Engineer Tesfahun Chemeda and victims of the Kofele Massacre. This vigil is an opportunity to bring communities together and commemorate the victims and their families.
Engineer Tesfahun died for justice and freedom of the Oromo people. His courage and commitment is what we all should grab and run with till victory day. That is the only way to pay him back. Let us get together and promise him that he did not die in vain. Let us announce to the world that we will not rest or stop until Engineer Tesfahun’s dream comes true. We should all come and pay our tribute and respect to such a young hero who could not live under tyranny.
Let us remember Engineer Tesfahun and victims of Kofele Massacre. Let us come and tell them we are listening.
