(Qeerroo, Gimbii, December 8, 2011)Dismissal from school and work, imprisonment and other cruel punishment are becoming very common to the Oromo’s in Ethiopia specially the Youth for their stand and genuine pursuit of freedom and democracy in Ethiopia.
Currently, starting from the beginning of December 2011; the Qeerroo from Gimbi are reporting the brutal and cruel hand of the TPLF government in action in a bid to subdue the dissents, in the town known for its resistance to the subjugation, looting and dictatorship of the current government.
The hard working Youth in Gimbi are being hunted on a fabricated charges of terrorism and theft. The is just to legitimize the crackdown that amounts to gross violation of human right and inhuman treatments according the constitution of the country and International agreements and protocols to which the country is signatory.
Within these few days more than 200 have been rounded up and detained while much more numbers are on the run while some have been reportedly in hiding in the forests with much more risks. Informants have told Qeerroo that these detained have faced serious tortures, biting and different methods of interrogations including water boarding. These daily hunting and campaign of dehumanization is also triggering anger and discontent with in the broader mass of the population.
Qeerroo have also uncovered the man at the front of this mass arrest, torture and human right violations, who is the Head of Odaa Neighborhood (Kebele) Mr. Abiyoot Malkaamu. This man is said to be in charge of the crackdown which is now running for almost the last 6 months and he is also the man instrumental for the eviction of Oromo families in the town in the name of awarding the land to investors coming to the area.
In a sequence of events, due to the overflow of Youth prisoners, prisoners coming from smaller villages and the surrounding neighborhoods are reportedly imprisoned in Warra Sayyoo Secondary School.
Some of the Youth currently detained in Gimbi Town are the followings:
- Dawit Tamasgeen
- Abbush Malkaamuu
- Hambisaa Baatirii
- Shimallis Moosisaa
- Kaasahuun Bantuu
- Jireenyaa Taammiruu
- Maarqos Kabbadaa
- Taarikuu Garbaa
- Alamaayyoo Habtaamuu
- Aliyyii Baatirii
- Namoomsaa Kabbadaa
- Numarsii Kabbadaa
- Meetii Kabbadaa
- Innawu Fiqaaduu
- Magarsaa Daani’eel
- Ismaa’el Ashabbir
- Baacaa Biraanuu
- Mitikkuu Tamasgeen
- Dirribaa Baatirii

- Abdii Taaddasaa
- Kaasahuun Taakkalaa
- Iwunatuu Ashannaafii
- Alamaayyoo Mulgeetaa
- Misgaanuu
- Shoraa
- Odaa and others
In a apparent message to these who are lining up to hold up the Oromo in a continued subjugation of the TPLF, the Youth have warned these who will not desist from their unacceptable behavior and action; which is becoming the reason for the suffering of hundreds and thousands will face public justice and the action taken on them will be very serious and final.
Additionally they have also appealed to the Oromo in other part of the region and in Diaspora for help and to air their voice to avert the looming crisis in the town and the worst in the future.
Justice Shall Prevail!!!

No prison or torture can hinder us from the struggle for bilisummaa Oromo and walabummaa Oromia of any type! The still strong Oromian Students’ movement is part and parcel of the Oromo liberation movement (part of our Fighter-Jet). I think we can present our Fighter-Jet as an airkraft with the differentiated three parts of its left-wing, with its middle body and with differentiated three parts of its right-wing. The skilled pilot of the fighter-Jet is our famous mindset of bilisummaa (of freedom), the OLF. I would like to personify the three parts of the aircraft with the following prominent Oromo nationalists.
1) The left wing:
– Leenco Lata, who advocates a nationally independent Oromia within a regional union of free nations in and around Ethiopia.
– Daud Ibsa, who is open for both Leenco’s and Galaasa’s position as long as the Oromo people will decide per referendum.
– Galaasa Dilbo, who strives to achieve an independent Oromia disregarding the possible regional union with the neighbouring nations, who are now living within Ethiopia.
2) The middle body:
– Fayyis Oromia and his likes, who are open for all the positions of the left (integrative Oromia) and the right (independent Oromia), as far as the determiners in this choice are the Oromo public at large per referendum. This part of the fighter-jet believes that theoretically an independent nation (Core Oromia) within an integrative region (Cush Oromia = Cushitic Ethiopia) is ideal and can be real.
3) The right wing:
– Nagaaso Gidaada, who tries to achieve through his UDJ party an integrative Oromia = the whole Ethiopia, without necessarily having an autonomous core Oromia within Ethiopia. All individuals and institutions with such goal can be classified here.
– Marara Guddina, who once said “Oromian national autonomy within Ethiopian federation is not bad, but we don’t need to die for it”; he was considering that even Gondar and other northern parts of the empire are parts of Oromia; accordingly, he wants to realize either Nagaasso’s or Bulcha’s position per Oromo public referendum.
– Bulcha Dammaqsa, who wants to have an integrative Oromia in a form of an autonomous Oromian state within Ethiopian federation.
But, in order to accomodate the move of these different Oromo positions regarding our future type of sovereignty (walabummaa) of Oromia, Oromo nationalists have to be able to concentrate on the common denominator of all the positions, i.e on bilisummaa (freedom) of the Oromo people. To comprehend what I do mean, we just need to compare the following interesting three concepts: secession, independence and sovereignty. Let me try to put the difference in short as follows:
– secession needs the precondition of being legally part of one sovereign nation and being a minority nation at the periphery. Oromia has never been legally part of Ethiopia and it is neither a minority nation nor at periphery unlike Tigrai. So Oromia’s question is not a question of secession in this sense. This is the point, which Ob. Amin Jundi recently tried to explain to the Habesha elites.
– independence is the liberation of an oppressed nation from the other oppressive one, as we do see in the attempt of some Oromo nationals like Ob Galaasaa trying to emancipate the occupied Oromia from the oppressive Abyssinia.
– sovereignity is the right of the liberated and free nation to decide on the type of arrangement it wants, like the sovereignty of the Oromo nation to decide on its future, be it in a form of an independence within or without Ethiopia, per referendum; this seems to be what Oromo nationalists like Ob. Daud try to achieve.
According to the right of the Oromo nation to its own bilisummaa and walabummaa, it is not wrong even if Ob. Amin or Gen. Kamal strives for the right of Oromo and Oromia WITHIN Ethiopia, as long as the determining factor is the result of the referendum. Thus, it is nice to see that our nationalists are bombarding tyranic Abyssinists from the three parts of our Fighter-Jet:- Dr. Nagaaso, Dr. Marara and Ob Bulcha from the left wing; Ob Fayyis Oromia and co from the middle body; as well as Gen. Kamal, Ob. Daud and Ob Galaasaa from the right wing.
This is really very scary for the enemy of the Oromo nation. Important is that all the three parts do fight the enemy, but do not attack each other. In the currently ongoing rhetoric, I didn’t hear Ob Amin attacking the other factions of the OLF. But, it is clear that we do read nowadays a lot of Woyane criminal cadres camouflaging as Oromo in order to sow a discord among Oromo nationals by trying to support one faction of the OLF and attack the others, as well an attempt of a vice versa!
Barri 2012 dhuma diktaaterootaa tahee ummanni cunqurfame kan itti mirga goonfatu akka ta’uuf qabsaawonni bilisummaa Oromoo fi ummanni Oromoo harka wal qabatee qabsoo isaa bakkaan gahee,gabrummaa,beelaa,hiyyummaa fi wallaalummaa dhabamsisuun Oromiyaa walaba akka ijaaru abdii keenya!
