Thank you very much for reminding us one of the golden efforts made by the legend Oromo writer Obbo MOOTII BIYYAA. Using this opportunity I would like to ask you to find Obbo Moti Biyya’s whereabouts and bring him back to the public media. He should be identified and remembered forever as one of the most influencial Oromo heros.
I can say Motii Biyyaa was a true nationalist who managed to shape the mindes of, particularly, Oromo youth in the 1990s in the struggle against TPLF and old Nefxenya remenants.
His book entitle “Oromiyaan Be Ferekaa” has been used by many Oromos as a weapon to beat the illogical and unfounded Habesha legends. This book was also produced as evidence by TPLF cadres/securities to justify their unjust actions against Oromo nationalists in their detention centers.
If you have contact of Moti Biyyaa, could you please ask him to reprint or make this book accessible online too?
Mootii biyyaa’s books are not simply books. They are freedom fighters for Oromo national struggle. A single habasha can’t withstand it. They can’t deny the logical truth in these books. Please! Those of us who are claiming for Oromo Freedom, let’s read and arm our selves with in-out nationalism. The one, who read these books is armed much more arm than AK47 or any other machine gun.
Thank you very much for your effort to empower Oromo and Oromummaa!! I would also like to thank the contributors and above all Wolde Yohannes Workeneh and Gammachuu Malkaa.
The following excerpt from the book, “OROMIA: Ye Tedebekew Ye Gif Tarik” (roughly translated, “OROMIA: The Hidden History of Crimes Against Humanity”), authored by Wolde-Yohannes Workneh and Gemechu Melka, was sent to Gadaa.com by an independent contributor to be used as a response to this program aired on ESAT.
Please inform us if you got the address of Mooti Biyya, W/Yohannes and Gemechuu Malka by gpo.info@yahoo.com
Finfinnee University students have demanded Oromo rights in Finfinnee, including statues in Finfinnee for Oromo nationalist martyrs, according to a report by SBO. Finfinnee is the capital of Oromiyaa, as well as the political capital of Africa. The Oromo is the largest nation in the Horn of Africa and Ethiopia, but a nation politically and economically marginalized and repressed for the last 120 years in its own homeland, Oromia.
The statue in the following videos is a sample design for the Oromo hero Gen. Taaddasaa Birruu in a proposed Oromo Nationalists Memorial Park in Finfinnee; it was designed by a Gadaa.com contributor. Gen. Taaddasaa was an Oromo nationalist freedom fighter, and he was executed by the Derg in 1975.
End of dictator Col Muammar Gaddafi Ethiopian Meles Zenawi is the next, Gadhafi family had an estimated $60 billion and $85 billion in unaccounted money around the world before his death. Melese Zenawi Bank account also under investigation. End of Muammar Gaddafi good lesson for Melese Zenawi. Col Gaddafi is said to have had more that \$200bn (£125bn) in cash and gold hidden away with some of it spread in secret accounts across the world.
Even if the regular mass arrest, kidnapping, torture and inhuman treatments are not new in the current Meles Zenawi led Ethiopian government; we are highly concerned with what is happening with full scale arrest and disappearance of Oromo Students as of April 2011, possibly in an attempt to curb the North African style revolution.
An estimated 1000 students from Universities all over the country are currently suffering in secret prisons and the notorious Ma’ekelawi prison in Addis Ababa. What is more either military personnel’s or secret state securities were lined up in many universities specially in Mizan-Tepi University , Jimma University, Haromaya University, Arbaminch University, Wollega University and Addis Ababa University. What is really appealing is, the Oromo students are targeted just only because of their identity and many of them were apprehended for a simple reason that they tuned up to one or the other media outlets. It is to be remembered that Prime Minister Meles have openly admitted of jamming international media outlets including VOA. Moreover they have blocked countless internet sites sand Medias.
Currently more than 200 members of the legal registered Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement (OFDM) And Oromo People’s Congress (OPC) party are also imprisoned and are still suffering without any legal grounds. This group includes Lawyers, Teachers, Farmers, Bankers, Women’s, High School Students and many other different personalities. According to the Ex President of the Current government, Dr. Negaso Gidada, who resigned later for the alleged unconstitutional way of Meles Zenawi leadership and the governments’ gross human right violation; there more than 25,000 cases of Oromo political prisoners related charges of being Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) conspirators.
We urgently appeal to the international community to redress the gross violation of human right and the injustice being committed by the minority regime in Ethiopia. We kindly ask for the implementation of all the necessary measures to bring the Ethiopian regime to terms of rule of law and democratic freedoms.
2. We ask the travel ban and asset freeze on the high ranking EPRDF officials, especially on adamant dictator of Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi, his Ministers and official.
3. We ask the concerned Universities to revise their relationship with Ethiopian Universities in context. We have witnessed so far the death of 4 students, the refusal of graduation degree to more than 80 students, the kidnapping and torture of countless students in Mekelle University. It is unfair for Western Universities to fund the crackdown of students at the hand of irresponsible officials.
4. We ask for the fact finding missions for the already huge war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the direct order of PM Meles Zenawi or/and his Generals in Gambella, Oromia, Ogaden and Sidama regions of Ethiopia.
5. We ask for the UN resolution against the eviction of Farmers from their land, multi million hectares of land sell and the irresponsible environmental crisis going on in Ethiopia.
7. We appeal for the support and funding of Organizations and group fighting to protect their nation from the dictatorial, irresponsible and unaccountable regime in Ethiopia.
8. Based on the 40 years Oromo nation struggle for liberation we request to support willing of the nation and reorganization Oromiya freedom.
It is at the best interest of the international community to act before it is too late in Ethiopia. Oromia is the largest and the most populous of the 9 regional states in Ethiopia. Addis Ababa (Finfinne) is in Oromia, currently serving as a seat of the African Union (AU), UNECA and countless international organizations and embassies in Ethiopia. We all benefits from the democratic states; where its citizens are allowed to express their discontent and free aspirations. But your actions will only serve the purpose if and only if it is taken on time.
