Qeerroo, Finfinnee (July 24, 2012)

With the targeted and coordinated actions of the special force operating in the vicinity of Buttujjii and Gidda area, the Head of the police force named Mr Bayyuu; who was busy the whole day imprisoning innocent Oromo individuals was killed as the dust settles on the evening of the same day and his ammunitions were also reportedly taken by the special force. Shocked and frustrated by this and previous attacks, the indifferent security bosses in the area have taken 18 innocent individuals to custody on suspicion of aiding the actions of the special force. The detainees include: Chaltu Sanyii, Fiqadu Wayyesaa, Lamesa Wayyeessaa, Tasisa Amanu, Gurmu Amanu, Hundee Qana’a and reports indicated that they were taken far way to the Oromia and Benishangul-gumuz boarder near the town of Kamashi.

News from neighbouring district is also getting bad to worse as 11 cabinet members from Haaroo Limmuu fi Limmuu Galiilaa district have resigned from their posts in protest to the continued crackdown on innocent civilians. Confusion erupted after other officials of the federal governments were reported to have held a public meeting. The officials categorically denied the issue of resignation and said the cabinet members are fired by higher authorities, but they could not hide the matter is related to the uprising in the area. The cabinet members Admaasuu Guddaataa, (Head of Haroo Limmuu), Fayisaa Biilaa, Daasalee Dabaloo, Girmaa Duubee, Adulaa Gannatii, Biraanuu Gammadaa, Asaffaa Galataa, Margaa Sirnaa (Head of Limmuu Galiilaa), Abdiisaa Gobanaa, Insarmu Gurree, and Tsaayii Mengashaa.

In a similar news from Anfillo District, the agent of the TPLF regime assigned to the area; named Indalu Asnake was also killed by the special force unit called “DAMEE LAGGASAA”. Indalu was notorious in the area for harassment, imprisonment, torture and killings of the hundreds of innocent Oromo civilians. What is more, today (July 21, 2012) the angry residents in the area have closed the main road between Anfillo and Muggie district and traffic heading to the area were forced to go back to the main city, Dambi Dollo. Qeerroo activists have also participated in the action and distributed pamphlets in different villages including Suddi, Ashi, Ibbur, Shollaa, Dollaa, Dullii, Shebel, Heenaa, Kolli, Dawo-Tobbii, Gerechoo, Kuuro, Waabaa, Eebbaa, Yettii, Heneche and Yarer.

Reports from Ilu-Abba Bora Zone of Mattuu town has also indicated that tension is going high after a conflict between the Qeerroo youth movement in the area and TPLF agent named Abay Firachew went out of control in which the agent was disarmed and beaten. The incident occurred after local residents closed the main motorway to Gambella region and refused to give-up until their demand is met.

(Qeerroo News, July 23, 2012). A report we received from our correspondents in Eastern Wollega zone revealed that the following 6 Cabinet members and OPDO delegates of the Haro Limu County [Woreda] have resigned from their post.

1. Admasu Gudeta, Administrator of Haro Limu
2. Fayisa Bila, Vice Administrator of Haro Limu
3. Desalegn Debelo, Head of Administration and Finance of Haro Limu
4. Girma Dube, Head of OPDO office of Haro Limu
5. Adula Gannati, a member of the Haro Limu Cabinet
6. Berhanu Gemeda, a member of the Haro Limu Cabinet

Moreover, the following 5 members of the Limu Gelila County [Woreda] cabinet have also resigned from their post.

1. Asafa Galata, Head of Limu Gelila Education Office
2. Marga Sirna, Adminstrator of Limu Gelila
3. Abdisa Gobana, House Speaker of Limu Gelila
4. Insarmu Gurre, Head of Administration and Finance of Limu Gelila
5. Tsehai Mengesha, Head of Limu Gelila OPDO office

The above individuals are said to have been forced to resign from their post due to accusation that they have been sympathetic to OLF and unable to controll the Qeerroo movemnet.

Meanwhile, some delegates of the Federal government sent to the area are trying to calm the population by telling the public that the above delegates were fired because of their affiliation with the OLF and that they didn’t actually resign. Resigned or fired, it is clear that these Oromo nationalists are now on the side of the struggle of the Oromo people for freedom.

(July 21, 2012, Finfinnee (Reuters) )– Ethiopian police clashed on Saturday with scores of Muslims protesters complaining that the state is interfering in their religion, witnesses and officials said.

The protesters, some wearing masks, blocked the entrance of the Anwar Mosque in the west of the capital Addis Ababa and hurled stones at riot police who had surrounded the compound after noon prayers.

“Police broke inside the mosque and arrested many people, including several members of the (protest organising) committee. They also fired teargas at protesters outside,” said an activist who declined to be named for fear of reprisals.

Another witness said he had seen empty tear gas canisters strewn on the ground. It was not immediately possible to verify these reports.

Thousands of Muslims have staged sporadic street protests in the capital since late last year, arguing that the government is promoting an alien branch of Islam, the Al Ahbash sect, which is avowedly apolitical and has numerous adherents in the United States.

The government denies promoting Al Ahbash, but is determined to prevent Islamic militancy spilling over from neighbouring Sudan or lawless Somalia.

Around 60 percent of Ethiopians are Christian and 30 percent Muslim, mostly of the moderate, pragmatic Sufi tradition.

Diplomats and analysts say there could be potential for any militant groups to exploit sectarian divisions and trigger violence.

The government accuses “extremist elements” of sparking violence at the protests.

Government spokesman Shimeles Kemal said police had arrested ‘several’ people on Saturday but denied that police had used teargas.

“These were masked assailants from extremist groups that prevented mosque attendants from leaving the compound after the completion of noon prayers,” he said.

“They tried to incite violence, they threw stones and damaged property.”

Activists have reported several deaths during previous clashes, but no casualties were reported on Saturday.

Al Ahbash, also known as the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects, was founded in the early 1980s by Sheikh Abdullah al Harrari, an Ethiopian cleric who was forced to leave his country for Lebanon in 1950.

The protesters say the government is promoting the ideas of the group through Ethiopia’s highest Muslim body, the Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs, and preventing overdue elections that could bring alternative views onto the Council.

Shimeles denied that the government was trying to influence Muslim affairs. “Our constitution bans any government interference in religion,” he said.
