Warar  naga soo gaaraya ilo kala duwan ayaa waxa ay sheegayaa  in uu ciidanka wadanka Itoobiya uu ku dhowyahay burbur iyo kala daadasho. Sida aan hoeryba boggan idin kugu soo gudbinay waxaa ka socdey magaalamadaxda Addis Ababa kacdoon dadweeyne lagana cabsi qabo in ay dhowaan ku soo biiraan  mileteriga Itoobiya.

 Sidoo kale waxaa isku rasaseeyey  deegaanka Oromiya ciidamada ka soo jeeda qoowmiyadda Oromada iyo kuwa Tigreega. Ciidamadan israsaaseeyey oo deganaa Naqamte oo ah degaanka galbeed ee Oromada waxa uu dhacay mar askar ka soo jeeda qowmiyadda Oromada ay ogaadeen in xerada ay deganyhiin jirdil loogu  geeystey ciidamo Oroma ah oo laga keenyey xuduudaha. Waxaa iyana kacdoonka ciidamada sii huriyey fakashadii Jenal Kamal Galchu iyo General Hailu Gonfa iyo war saxaafadeedkii ay soo saareen iyagoo ugu baaqey ciidamada Itoobiya in ay la saftaan dadkooda kana soo horjeestaan taliska diktatooriga ee Meles Zanawi. Ciidamada Itoobiya siiba kuwa ka soo jeeda qowmiyadda Oromada waxa ay hadal hayaan hadaladii labada janan.

War laga sii daayey Raadiyo Xoriyo oo ah idaacadda ku  hadasha afka Jabhadda Xoreeynta Wadaniga Ogadeeniya ee marka la soo gaabiyo loo yaqaan ONLF  26kii September, 2006 waxa ay ku sheegtey in askar badani ay ka goosteen ciidanka gumeeysiga Itoobiya.

Idaacadu iyada oo hadalkeeda sii wadata waxa ay tiri “magaalada Dhagaxbuur  waxaa ka goostay 8 sargaal oo ka mid ah raggii ugu sarsarreeyay. Xamaro iyo Fiiq waxaa sidoo ka waxaa goostay 50 askari “  

Dhinaca kale wara ka soo baxaya furumaha kale sida kan xuduuda Ereteriya ay la wadaagta Itoobiya iyo Ogadeniya waxaa ka socda in askarta ka soo jeeda qowmiyadaha aan aheeyn Tigreega sida si gooni ah  loo ilaaliyo qoryaha iyo qalabka kale ee militerina laga qaadey. Sidoo kale ciidamada booliska iyo militeriga ee ku sugan Addis Ababa inta aan ka tirsaneeyn qomiyadda Tigreega looma ogola in ay sitaan qoryaha. Taliska Meles Zanawi waxa uu wadaa in uu hubeeyo shacabka  Tigreeg ah ee degan Addis Ababa iyo agagaaraheeda. Dad si gaar ah u indha indheeya siyaasadda Itobiya waxa ay ku tilmaameen taalabadan uu ku kacay Meles zanawi” in taliska uu taaganyahay in uu ka cararo maryihiisa”

Ciidamada soo galay Soomaaliya waxaa la ogsonyahay in askar dhowr ah ay ka fakadeen magaalada Gaalkacyo iyagoo u carararrey dhica Boosaaso.  Ciidamada ku sugan Ogadeniya  iyo kuwa jooga xuduuda Ereteriya mar hadii ay arkeen in la siinayo magangelyo iyo in ay aadaan dhulkoodii hooyo amaba  ay ku biiraan halganka hubeeysan waxaan sugnaaba waa sidaas iyo kalatagiii cidanka Itoobiya. 

OLF says anything can happen anytime in Ethiopia

OROMO LIBERSTION FRONT

Resolutions of the OLF Executive Committee

September 29, 2006 - The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) Executive Committee has successfully conducted its regular meeting from September 25 to 29, 2006. After listening to the reports of the different departments, thoroughly analysing and deliberating on the overall condition and performance of the organization, the struggle of the Oromo people, the Oromo society, the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF)-led government of Ethiopia, the political condition of the Horn of Africa and the global situation at large, the committee has issued the following statement.

The committee observed that the organization’s overall activities have been fruitful with creative responses and approaches to challenges of the time. Tangible achievements have been registered during this period. The organization’s efforts in expanding the horizon and coordinating of the different liberation and democratic forces on the Ethiopian arena have been consummated by the formation of the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD). Plans to build on the successes and overcome the shortcomings have been laid down in order to further intensify the struggle and bring it to the next stage.

The committee concluded that the human rights abuses, economic disenfranchisement, social disintegration and political repressions of the Oromo and other peoples under the current regime of Ethiopia have not shown any improvement. Despite all these repressive and heinous deeds of the regime, the Oromo people have continued to challenge the repression. The open resistance to this oppressive regime has gone beyond the student protests with the core of the regime’s mainstay, the military, including highest ranking officers, quitting the regime in protest and joining the Oromo liberation camp. In response the regime is resorting to further repression, isolating itself and inviting further chaos.

The Executive Committee expresses its appreciation for the Oromo people’s organized peaceful resistance headed by the gallant students of all levels of education and categorically condemns the violent repressive deeds of the TPLF regime. The committee also expresses its highest appreciation for the heroic actions of the courageous Oromo nationals serving in the military institution of the regime led by top ranking officers who joined the people’s struggle. The committee calls upon the Oromo people in general and those serving in the different sectors of the system in particular to stop serving this dying regime and take immediate action to further accelerate its imminent downfall.

The TPLF-led government of Ethiopia has never demonstrated any change in its policy of handling political problems of the country or in its dealings with political organizations and parties. The formation of AFD has introduced a new paradigm in Ethiopia’s political arena where polarization, confrontation and unhealthy competition between differing political questions and opinions had been the norm all along. The urgency for an all-inclusive conference is more real now than any other time before. Hence, the Committee calls upon all members of the Alliance to heighten their activities in all aspects to implement its stated program and objectives. We also call upon all other political forces to rally to play their roles in the achievement of the overall objective of the Alliance. The Committee also calls upon the general population to stand behind the AFD so that it meets the demand of the time.

On the regional level, the Executive Committee has observed that the TPLF-led Ethiopian government has continued its destabilizing activities in Somalia defying the UN imposed embargo of arms and military intervention. The committee calls upon all the stakeholders of the stability in the region to support dialogue among the parties concerned to find a lasting solution without any direct external intervention.

In conclusion the Executive Committee sees that the situation in Ethiopia is daily deteriorating. Peaceful political expression, both popular and organised, is increasingly stifled. With the regime’s continued intransigence to all proposals to peacefully resolve outstanding political issues impatience, desperation, frustration and hopelessness is mounting. Defections and resistance is tremendously escalating in all sectors to the extent that anything can happen anytime. We therefore call upon all concerned parties to embark on facilitating a process that will lead to a comprehensive solution to all outstanding problems.

Victory to the Oromo People!

EMF (Sept. 28 ) - More than ten government journalists had defected to the US, Europe and Asia fearing persecution, subsequent to refusing orders to produce false stories about opposition parties, source said.

According to sources, journalists of the government controlled media in Ethiopia, who refuse order from the authorities to misinform the public are threatened to death.

He had to make his way to escape from the brutal regime and through sponsorship by IAAF; he entered Japan, where he applied for political asylum.
