The terrorist Fano militia (the Ethiopian Interhamwey) that was trained and armed<br \/>\nby the Government led by the Prsoperty Party is undertaking a final showdown on<br \/>\nOromiya. Oromo has not encountered such scale of cruelty since Minilik invasion, mass<br \/>\nkillings and genocidal war in its long history of Abyssinia colonialism. The current<br \/>\npredicament of the Oromo is unparalleled.<br \/>\nMenelik\u2019s campaign in the 19th century against the Oromo cut the breast of mothers and<br \/>\nthe hands of men. During the time of the Prosperity Party, brutal forces cut the heads of<br \/>\ninnocent Oromos footage shown in Bure town, Gojjam, impaled on sticks; burned dead<br \/>\nbodies, and chanted a victory song. Enough is enough. We can\u2019t tolerate barbarism<br \/>\nsponsored by Prosperity Party anymore.<br \/>\nOromo has not crossed any boundary. It has not invaded the territory of others. Oromo<br \/>\namicably lived with other people, including those who inflicted humilation against the sons<br \/>\nand daughters of the Oromo. Oromo has fed them. Oromo has protected them. Oromo<br \/>\nLoved them and allowed them to live in peace even at the cost of life, land and villages.<br \/>\nThe responses from the settlers, however, are brutality and disrespect. Oromos have the<br \/>\nright to defend themselves in their fatherland.<br \/>\nThe OLF calls upon all Oromos from all walks of life to rise and defend their territory,<br \/>\nchildren, mothers, wives and the elderly. We should not shoulder the disgrace anymore. It<br \/>\nis the duty and responsibility of every Oromo to intensify his\/her struggle against. Self\u0002defense is a human right.<br \/>\nStudents in high schools and universities, teachers at all levels, peasants in rural areas, and<br \/>\nthe Qeerroo should defend themselves. We should and could not accept death and<br \/>\nhumiliation at our homestead.<br \/>\nOromos should protect their unity. The death of one Oromo is the death of all Oromos.<br \/>\nHumiliation for one Oromo is humiliation for all Oromos. Oromos should rise from every<br \/>\ncorner and stand against brutality and embarrassment perpetrated by Prosperity Party<br \/>\nkilling machines. Our unity and perseverance led to change in the EPRDF government in<br \/>\n2018.<br \/>\nIt is long now that the Prosperity Party security institution has turned savage by burning<br \/>\nvillages after villages, attacking civilians by heavy artillery, bombing towns and villages<br \/>\nand killing school children, bombing religious gatherings and markets killing in hundreds.<br \/>\nAdministration is broken everywhere in Oromia for long. Now therefore, the OLF calls on<br \/>\nOromo again to vigorously work to materialize the Oromia Regional National Transitional<br \/>\nGovernment to avoid further catastrophe.<br \/>\nLast but not least, OLF vehemently assures everyone that the question raised by teachers<br \/>\nin Oromia and protest by youth (Qeerroo) is justifiable. Every Oromo should support and<br \/>\nstand by their legitimate demands and actions.<br \/>\nVictory to the Masses!<br \/>\nOromo Liberation Front<br \/>\nDecember 06, 2022<br \/>\nFinfinnee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>OLF Calls Upon all Oromos to Defend Themselves in Any Form Possible.
