Every year on April 15, Oromo nationalists all over the globe commemorate the fallen heroes of Oromo nationalists who gave their precious lives for the freedom of their people and the liberation of their country, Oromia. Many lost their lives in the battle field while fighting the oppressive military forces of the Ethiopian regimes, past and present. Many others were killed at their homes, at their work places and in prison cells during a brutal torture for the simple reason of being an Oromo. Yes, for the simple reason of being an Oromo! This may sound untrue, but it is a fact. Here is how it happens.

In Ethiopia, if you are an Oromo person, by default you are a suspect of being a member or supporter of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). In reality, this is true in the sense that most Oromos support the OLF and reject the so called Oromo People’s Democratic Front (OPDO), an Oromo organization created around the end of the previous military government of Mengistu Hailemariam by the then rebel group called the Tigrai People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) in the Tigrai region. Today, despite the fact that the Tigari population is a tiny minority with only 6% of the Ethiopian population, the leader of TPLF, Meles Zenawi, is single handedly ruling Ethiopia using the OPDO and other similar robot and puppet organizations that are named “sister” to TPLF. Well, they are not really sisters. They are creatures invented and maneuvered by the TPLF. To see this, it is enough how they vote in the current parliament, all of them raise their hand together always, supporting whatever the Meles clique present to them. This can happen only with one condition – namely, they are really “robots” who actually breathe like humans.Remembering the Innocent Oromos in Jail
