OLF Calls Responsible UN Bodies and Stakeholders to Scale up their Efforts to
\nSave Lives in Oromiya Regional State, Borana and Gujii Zones.<\/p>\n

OLF had long warned and called upon all responsible UN organs and stakeholders
\nbefore the calamities mounted to the current disastrous scale. In October 2021, we
\nstressed that the drought in southern Oromiya would be one of the ugliest human
\ncatastrophes.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the current human suffering in this zone and neighbouring Gujii zone is
\nincalculable. Watching suffering mothers, the elderly, the children and all types of
\ndomestic and wild life is heartbreaking. Dead bodies of animals that are the sources of
\nhuman life in the region are scattered everywhere. No water, no pasture.
\nEven if drought is part of the environmental and climate change hazards, it is exacerbated
\nby the war, socio-political and economic conditions. Primarily, it is a strong indicator of
\ngovernment failures. A stable and responsible government can surely minimize the
\nimpacts. Appropriate early warning systems and efficient disaster management
\nmechanisms could have alleviated human suffering and the economic and social fallouts.
\nThe government\u2019s sole preoccupation has been on the wars it created in Tigray and
\nOromiya, such that other social and economic concerns have been irresponsibly left
\naside. Besides, denying and shying away from the real danger of drought and famine are
\nthe defining characteristics of successive Ethiopian governments.
\nThe humanitarian response by all responsible has been so slow, inefficient, too late and
\ntoo small. Coordination failures are at the heart of the challenge.
\nYet, the current popular responses from our Oromo communities in the countryside and
\nworldwide are immensely elevating, hopeful, and encouraging. Our people\u2019s unity and
\ncompassion give great hope to those suffering in disaster scenes. We thank all for the
\nefforts so far. We also encourage various nongovernmental organizations, community
\nleaders, and activists to scale up their responses proportionate to the level of the disaster.
\nLast but not least, we strongly call on the international communities to lend a hand, as
\nthey have been doing so far. The scale of the disaster is so severe to be averted by

\nindividual and compassionate community responses only. More coordination, additional
\nresources, and timely actions could only save lives.
\nWe want to strongly remind that sustainable solution to these regions and all other
\naffected areas in East Africa is imperative and all concerned and responsible bodies has
\nthe duty to fulfill not to avoid further catastrophe.
\nVictory for the Masses!
