Ignoring a wave of unlawful killings and enforced disappearances in Oromia is fueling further catastrophic in the region.

Following the political turmoil and mass unrest ignited in Ethiopia, and despite the concerns of the international communities are perceived by their fellow citizens after hundreds of Oromo civilian peaceful protesters were killed, including the primary school children, in a show of grossly excessive force by the Ethiopian government heavily armed security forces since last Saturday, 6 August 2016. Within three days alone at least 400 Oromo civilians were killed. More than 5000 injured while thousands were disappeared in the form of arrest and transferring to detention centers, such as Dhidhessa, Tolay, and Wurso and to several tens of hidden torture locations in Oromia. The detainees are held incommunicado and tortured by state security forces into “confessing” to anti-government protestors. The Ethiopian security forces fired live bullets at protesters peacefully marched in more than 250 major towns across Oromia region. Heavy-handed measures including the arbitrary arrest by using excessive force have resulted in the unlawful killing of hundreds of Oromo civilian protesters. A wave of enforced disappearances has seen thousands of people abducted by armed forces.

Reiterating the Oromo political Questions and Ultimate objectives of the Oromo struggle
The OLF press release

The aims of the Oromo struggle led by the OLF is to realize the Oromo people’s selfdetermination right; to dismantle colonial system from Oromia and to free Oromo from subjugation and to establish free Oromia state. This can be achieved through the sole decision of the Oromo people who will choose either to establish a free Republic of Oromia or to make new political arrangement with neighboring nationalities based on interest, equality, mutual respect and democratic values and principles. This means that the OLF struggles to make an arrangement for Oromo people for free referendum rights.
The Oromo people has struggled and made huge scarifies to fulfill the aims and objectives of the Oromo struggle set out by the OLF. When the Oromo elites and committed individuals developed the OLF program, the central aim was to solve the fundamental political problem of the Ethiopian empire from its roots. The program was not only based on the interest of Oromo people but also considered the interests of other peoples in the Ethiopian empire who were colonized in a similar way and benefit from this struggle.
Thanks to Oromo heroes and heroines, today the Oromo people liberation struggle has reached the stage where every Oromo has gained a full confidence to achieve its long awaited freedom. Also millions of Oromo heroes and heroines are ready to sacrifice their lives for freedom until
the liberation of Oromia is realized. We have no doubt that with the sacrifices of committed Oromo heroes and heroines, the OLF vision, which is also the vision of vast Oromo people, will be achieved. However, we cannot deny that there are internal and external forces that want to give the Oromo liberation movement a blind eye and want to divert the Oromo genuine questions for their own political agenda and strategic interest.
