The Oromian Youth Movement (Qeerroo) which was formed a little over a year ago is intensifying the struggle of the Oromo people for freedom, democracy and justice in a scale never seen before.

This report covers  widely intensified movement of Qeerroo over the month prior to the death of the Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi: July 22 through August 22, 2012. The report is directly taken from the archives of Qeerroo website.

August 20, 2012, Ayira Gulliso, West Wollega: TPLF Forces Killed Gamule Tasgara, and arrested several others.

In west Wollegga zone, several protesting Oromo youth were rounded up and arrested on August 20, 2012 and many of them were beaten severely in prison. Among those who suffered an unbearable torture, a young man named Gamule Tasgara lost his life in prison.

21 Years of Human Right Calamity

HRLHA Press Release

August 24, 2012

PM Meles Zenawi

Only three heads of state exchanged hands over power in Ethiopia during a period of time that is about a century. This fact by itself is indicative of the non-existence of democracy in the country. During this extended time period, the various peoples and nationalities in Ethiopian never tolerated tyrants. The Feudal Regime of Haile Sellassie faced with various forms of peoples revolts and uprisings. Some paid maximum price, and others were condemned to indefinite incarcerations to bring regime down. Although some of the big questions such as the land ownership issue got answers, the Ethiopian peoples did not see the kind of change they wanted to, especially regarding fundamental human rights. Oppositions continued in different forms under the Dergue Communist Regime, in spite of the absolute political suppression. Again, hundreds of thousands were killed extra judicially, and hundreds of thousands of others sent to prison in the same extra judicial manner. But, that did not prevent the powerful Dergue Regime from falling. Once again, the Ethiopian peoples were very unfortunate that a political change did not come. Things got from bad to worse in some cases under the current TPLF/EPRDF regime. As a result, oppositions continued to be displayed in different forms, only to be met with the harshest hands that the country has ever experienced. The country became the home of countless official and unofficial jails of its own citizens. Most of those detention centres experienced spill-over. Kidnappings, disappearances, extra judicial killings, and many other arbitrary actions happened to be the daily events. Even currently, hundreds of thousands of worshipers of the Muslim Religion are being taken in a mass to concentration camps such as Dhidhessa in western part of the country.

Radio Simbirtuu with Dr. Alemayehu Birru for a philosophical analysis on the legacy of the late Prime Minister

TVOROMIYAA MAGAALAA TORONTO HAGAYYA 20, 2012

(Qeerroo, Adaamaa, 24 August 2012) The Oromia Support Group-OSG has , as of May 2012, reported  4,407 extra-judicial killings and 992 disappearances of civilians suspected of supporting groups opposing the government since 1991.

Most of these have been Oromo people. Scores of thousands of civilians have been imprisoned. Torture and rape of prisoners is commonplace, especially in secret detention centres, whose existence is denied by the government.

The US State Department reports that suspicion of belonging to the OLF is the most common cause for detention in Ethiopia. The report for 2000 states that the Ethiopian government ‘continued to detain persons suspected of sympathizing with or being involved with the OLF’.

Officials of the International Committee of the Red Cross visit 10,000 detainees in Ethiopia, nearly all in official prisons. Clandestine human rights organisations in Ethiopia claim that ten times that number are being held in unofficial detention centres.

Amnesty International report that torture and disappearance are more likely to occur in these centres than in official places of detention.

After he defected, the Minister of Justice in Oromia Region, Yonatan Dhibisa, stated that 30,000 Oromo political prisoners were being held in official detention centres in Oromia Region.

Urgent Press Release On Current Affairs

August 23, 2012 Finfinnee

Even if the death of the late PM of Ethiopia Meles Zenawi was rumoured months ago, the regimes media outlets have announced orchestrated news about his death only on 20th of August 2012. This is mainly due to the lengthy discussion and debates on unexpected succession conflict that is consuming the regime. Meles Zenawi was responsible for the terrible tragedies of human right abuse, torture, disappearance and death of thousands of innocent civilians in the past 21 years in Ethiopia, Nevertheless we feel sorry about his sudden death as any human being.
It is uncontested public secret, except for his collaborators, that the rule of Meles Zenawi was authoritarian and fascistic. It is to be remembered that, we have issued a clear statement in April 2011 for the PM to resign for his responsibilities in the aforementioned crimes.

The past 21 years Ethiopia has indulged in terrible political, social and economic crisis. Despite issuing an attractive constitution, it is known that the regime implemented extreme version of Stalin and Lenin policy, where the three branch of government (Judiciary, Legislative and Executive) are merged to one entity under one individual. We have presented our concern and protest on several other areas of national issue. But none of our requests were materialized by the PM and his government.

Once again, we hereby ask the governing regime of EPRDF to act immediately to address our request chartered as follows:

1. All political prisoners of all background should be realised without any discrimination. Specially an estimated 25 thousands of Oromo’s imprisoned since 1991 should be released immediately and without any precondition.
2. Government should stop meddling in religious affairs and stop persecuting these who demanded their legitimate and constitutional right.

3. Recent proclamations concerning issues of “Terrorism or anti terror legislation”, Media and NGOs, which contradicts with the State constitution and seriously impedes human rights should be repealed immediately.

4. Long standing wars between the government and liberation fronts’ such as OLF, ONLF and others should be halted immediately. The government should initiate negotiations with all political parties and pave the way for peaceful settlement of major national issues.

5. The right to peaceful demonstration and association should be allowed as guaranteed in the Constitution. Other proclamations issued to restrict these rights should be revoked immediately.

6. The right to freedom of expression and association should also be guaranteed.

Qeerroo, the national youth movement for freedom and democracy (NYMFD), will continue its struggle until credible actions are taken to address the aforementioned requests.

The Oromo people and other oppressed nations of the Ethiopian empire should enhance their ongoing struggle to get their democratic and legitimate rights.
Finally, we would like to underline that, our struggle continues until the repressive regime and its killing machine is gone for good.
Justice shall prevail.
