Evictions, unrest take gloss off Ethiopia’s impressive construction boom

Foreign investors including Dangote Cement had property damaged as protestor grievances birthed country’s most serious political crisis in a decade.

WHEN Ethiopian farmer Mulugeta Mezemir ceded his land three years ago to property developers on the fringes of the expanding capital, Addis Ababa, he felt he had no choice.

A gated community with white picket fences and mock Roman pillars built by Country Club Developers now occupies the fields he tilled in Legetafo, Oromia region, after the 60-year-old said local government officials convinced him to accept an offer or face expropriation. He took the cash and vacated the land, which in Ethiopia is all state-owned.

“We were sad, but we thought at the time that they were going to take the land for free,” said Mulugeta, a father of 12, while feeding hay to cattle a few meters from foundations for the next phase of housing. “We thought it was better to take whatever they were paying.”

As Ethiopia, which the International Monetary Fund estimates saw 8.7% economic growth in the last fiscal year, undergoes a construction boom, complaints over evictions and unfair compensation have fomented the country’s most serious domestic political crisis in a decade.

‘Crooked officials’

In protests by the largest ethnic group, the Oromo, that began in November, security forces allegedly shot dead as many as 266 demonstrators, according to the Kenya-based Ethiopian Human Rights Project. The government says many people died, including security officers, without giving a toll. Foreign investors including Dangote Cement Plc had property damaged.

Ethiopian Communication Minister Getachew Reda said protesters were in part angry at “some crooked officials” who have been “lining their pockets by manipulating” land deals around the capital. Property developers CCD followed legal procedures, paid standard rates of compensation and employed many members of farmers’ families, according to Tedros Messele, a member of the company’s management team.

Cases such as Mulugeta’s have been a growing trend on the outskirts of the capital over the past two decades, said Nemera Mamo, an economist at Sussex University in England. No recent, independent studies have been conducted into how many people have been affected.

Fastest-growing

“The booming construction industry has contributed to Addis Ababa’s rapid expansion that’s dispossessed many poor farmers and turned them into beggars and daily labourers,” Nemera said. “The Oromo protest movement opposes the mass eviction of poor farmers.”

The government shelved a plan for the integrated development of Addis Ababa and surrounding areas of Oromia in January after protesters rejected it.

Ethiopia’s state-heavy model seeks to industrialise the impoverished nation within a decade by improving infrastructure and combining investment with cheap labor, land and water to produce higher-value goods. Projects for what the IMF calls African’s fastest-growing economy include the continent’s largest hydropower dam, railways and the building of 700,000 low-cost apartments by 2020.

Construction accounted for more than half of all industry in the fiscal year that ended in July after it grew an annual 37%, according to National Bank of Ethiopia data. Industry comprised 15% of output.

Off the pace

Investors such as Diageo Plc, the world’s largest liquor maker, and Unilever Plc are tapping into the expansion by building Ethiopian facilities. Citizens of Africa’s second-most populous nation are using money earned there or abroad to build residences, malls and offices.

The ruling party hasn’t kept pace with the boom by improving governance and the ability of domestic manufacturers to supply the industry, said Tsedeke Yihune, who owns Flintstone Engineering, an Ethiopian contractor that’s built upmarket housing and African Union offices.

“Construction has not been used as it was supposed to, as a means of building domestic capacity, building good governance, as well as delivering the government’s development agenda,” Tsedeke said in an interview in the capital.

More than 70% of construction materials are imported, including cables, steel, ceramics, locks, furniture and electrical fittings, Tsedeke said. Ethiopia’s trade deficit increased by $3 billion to $14.5 billion last fiscal year.

‘Good governance’

Addis Ababa-based Orchid Business Group is another recipient of government capital spending, which the IMF says could double to almost $15 billion a year by 2020. Orchid’s projects include one with Italy’s Salini Impregilo SpA building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, said Hailealem Worku, the construction and engineering head.

Cement plants built by companies including Dangote have made Ethiopia self-sufficient in the material, while manufacturing incentives means glass, paint and steel factories will play a bigger role soon, Hailealem said.

The government wants to improve regulations and change attitudes so contractors boost their skills and ethics, Construction Minister Ambachew Mekonnen said in an interview. “The construction industry suffers from a lack of good governance,” he said.

In Legetafo, Mulugeta was paid 17 birr ($0.80) a square meter in compensation. Meanwhile, people were bidding as much as 355,555 birr per square meter to rent land in Addis Ababa last year. Mulugeta used the 200,000 birr he received for the plot for expenses including renting more farmland. Two of his children now work as CCD cleaners, earning 40 birr a day.

“We are getting deeper into poverty,” he said.

Ethiopia: Government says Oromia has self-rule but activists vow to continue protests

$

People in Ethiopia’s Oromia state already have self-rule and protesters’ demands are already in place, an Ethiopian official told IBTimes UK. Abiy Berhane, minister counsellor at the Ethiopian embassy in London, made the comment as activists said they are still on the streets of Oromia calling for self-rule, the release of political prisoners and the end of military presence in the region.

Protests in Oromia began in November 2015 against a government draft plan to expand the boundaries of the capital Addis Ababa. Demonstrators, mainly from the Oromo ethnic group, argued the so-called “Addis Ababa master plan” would lead to forced evictions of Oromo farmers from their lands and would undermine the survival of the Oromo culture and language.

Who are the Oromo people?

The Oromo people are Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group and their population amounts to more than 25 million (around 35% of Ethiopia’s total population).

Oromo people speak Afaan Oromoo, as well as Amharic, Tigrinya, Gurange and Omotic languages. They are mainly Christian and Muslim, while only 3% still follow the traditional religion based on the worshipping of the god, Waaq.

In 1973, Ethiopian Oromo created the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), which stemmed from the discontent over a perceived marginalisation by the government and to fight the hegemony of the Amhara people, another large ethnic group in Ethiopia.

OLF – still active today – also calls for the self-determination of the Oromo people. It has been deemed as a terror organisation that carried out violent acts against people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. The group has always denied such allegations, claiming its mission is to terminate “a century of oppression” against the Oromos.

Read more about Oromo people

The government scrapped the master planfollowing increasing agitation which activists claimed led to the death of some 400 people, at least 200 according to a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW), released on 21 February.

The government denied the allegations of violence and claimed the death toll was much lower, but did not give a specific figure.

Berhane explained Ethiopian authorities conducted an assessment on the unrest and admitted they took slow steps in addressing people’s legitimate grievances. “Had these demands been addressed quickly and effectively, dissident groups would not have been able to infiltrate peaceful protesters and instigate violence,” he said.

“The government does not want to see any of its people die, even the death of one person is one is one too many. What the country needs first and foremost is peace. Inciting violence, creating division, coming up with horrific stories and posting those stories on social media does not help in any way.”

Earlier in March, Prime Minster Hailemariam Desalegn apologised for the deaths and destructionfor which he blamed “anti-peace forces” that infiltrated demonstrations.

Self-rule already in place

Berhane claimed that people are ruling themselves in Oromia, where the official language is Oromo, people have their own regional parliament and run their own budget. “Political problems in Oromia and indeed in any other part of Ethiopia have been for the most part resolved. If there are any that are not resolved, the Constitution provides the mechanism for resolving them so there is no need for violent conflicts,” he said.

However, Oromo activists who spoke to IBTimes UK denied Oromo people have self-rule in the region, claiming that Oromia’s ruling party, Oromo Peoples’ Democratic Organization (OPDO), is an organisation of “ex-war captives” created by the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a political party in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.

Activists also denied violent people infiltrated protests, and alleged the government is cracking down on peaceful and unarmed demonstrators, including pregnant women and children. They also claimed the government declared martial law in Oromia, which they say is now divided into eight military divisions controlled by “ethnic Tigrean generals”.

“It is because of the absence of self-rule that you see millions of farmers evicted and their land given to ruling party officials or foreign companies. The regime downplays the scale of questions raised as well as the scale of the lethal forces used,” Habtamu Dugo, an exiled Oromo journalist and US-based professor, said.

“Oromo are not able to elect their leaders in a free and fair election and the ruling party serves the interests of few ruling elites from the Tigray region. Although Afan Oromo is recognized on paper as a regional official language, people are demanding it to be made into one of the federal languages, since it is the most widely spoken language in Ethiopia.”

Dugo, also a member of the Board of Directors of the Oromo Studies Association, added that should alleged killings by security forces continue, Oromo people might start calling for secession, a right guaranteed by the Ethiopian constitution.

An Oromia-based activist who spoke to IBTimes UK on conditions of anoymity, denied the government of Oromia rules on its own budget. The source said: “While Oromia contributes 60% of Ethiopia’s GDP, OPDO has to accept 70% of its recurrent and capital budget from the TPLF-dominated federal governement.”

The source also alleged at least 40,000 Oromo people are currently imprisoned and many of them”had to suffer severe torture”.

The Ugly Side of Ethiopia’s Economic Boom

ADAMA, Ethiopia — For those who would speak frankly about politics in this landlocked East African country, the first challenge is to find a safe space.

But on a recent evening in Adama, a city in the heart of a region reeling from the largest protest movement Ethiopia has faced in decades, most people seemed at ease. University students poured out of the city’s main campus, spilling into claustrophobic bars and pool halls. Others crowded around a cluster of aging taxis, jostling for a quick ride home.

Though it is one of the largest cities in Oromia — where members of Ethiopia’s Oromo ethnic group have taken to the streets in recent months in unprecedented numbers to protest their political and economic marginalization — Adama has remained mostly quiet. Hidden beneath the casual veneer of daily life, however, lurks a deep-seated suspicion of the government, which has built a massive surveillance apparatus and cracked down violently on its opponents.

Citizens feel they have to watch what they say, and where they say it. At the hangouts where crowds have gathered, a political statement might be overheard. Out on the sidewalks, government spies could be on patrol. Inside the university campus, security officials are on the lookout for suspicious behavior.

In a way, the recent unrest is rooted in Ethiopia’s rapid economic rise. The federal government claims to have notched double-digit GDP growth rates over the past decade, but its rigid, top-down approach to developing industry, and attracting foreign investment, has resulted in mass displacement and disrupted millions of lives. This, in turn, has heightened ethnic tensions that today threaten Ethiopia’s reputation for stability.

All across Oromia, government security forces have been struggling to control the spate of violent protests that erupted in November, partly in response to the government’s so-called master plan to coordinate development in Addis Ababa with nearby towns in Oromia, a sprawling central region that surrounds the capital on all sides.

Like much of the country, the vast majority of Oromia is rural, home to small-scale farmers who feel left behind by the dazzling growth of Addis

Like much of the country, the vast majority of Oromia is rural, home to small-scale farmers who feel left behind by the dazzling growth of Addis.When this latest round of protests began last year, demonstrators seized on the master plan as symbolic of broader encroachments on Oromo autonomy. They also accused the government of taking land from Oromo farmers for little or no compensation, suppressing the Oromo language in schools, and unfairly redistributing the region’s natural resources.

In Adama, a 23-year-old engineering student, whose full name has been withheld for his safety, was initially reluctant to speak with this reporter for fear of reprisal. He relaxed only after he and some close friends sat down in a deserted cafe near campus, where a quiet woman brewing coffee over hot coals was the only person listening in.

“There are so many problems facing the Oromo people,” he said. “But those who speak about it are getting arrested. Educated people, farmers, teachers, doctors — the government accuses them all of being part of the protests.”

His caution was warranted. Less than two weeks later, a confrontation erupted at the university, reportedly in response to a small demonstration by students — though the details, as always, are hazy. One witness who asked not be named said he heard gunshots as security forces descended on the campus. Amid the confusion, at least two fires were sparked — one in the school’s backup generator.

“On campus, students already feared the armed forces,” said the witness, who is a student at the university. “Now, no one feels like they have any right to speak at all.”

Government security forces have been accused of exacerbating the crisis in Oromia by violently suppressing the protests. In a recent report, Human Rights Watch said it had “documented security forces firing into crowds of protesters with little or no warning, the arrests of students as young as 8, and the torture of protesters in detention.” The rights group said military and police forces have killed “several hundred peaceful protesters” since November.

Members of the Ethiopian diaspora have been equally vocal, taking to social media to call attention to alleged atrocities. Jawar Mohammed, who is based in Minnesota, is perhaps the most prominent online activist, manning a number of social media feeds featuring bloody photos of dead demonstrators and grainy videos of police brutality that have become hubs for Oromo diaspora members around the world. His Facebook page has amassed nearly a half million followers.

“We have freelancers embedded in pretty much every district across the country,” said Mohammed, who was born in Ethiopia but works abroad as the executive director of the Oromia Media Network, a news broadcaster whose satellite feed here has been repeatedly jammed by the Ethiopian government. “They infiltrate the system from top to bottom,” he said in a Skype interview.

How much of an impact social media activism has had on the actual protest movement is a matter of debate. In a country with limited Internet penetration, and where the sole government-owned telecommunications provider has the power to shut down signals and block opposition websites, online activists like Mohammed are necessarily limited in what they can do. According to the engineering student in Adama, people on the ground are driving the protests, and social media matters “only a little bit.”

Where online activists have succeeded is in channeling video and photographic evidence of abuses to the outside word

Where online activists have succeeded is in channeling video and photographic evidence of abuses to the outside word. But even this evidence is difficult to verify; several journalists, including this correspondent, have been detained by officials for attempting to report in some of the worst-affected areas.There are also questions about the direction social media activists have steered the debate surrounding the protests. Comments by Mohammed’s passionate social media followers sometimes advocate violence against members of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a political party from the northern region of Tigray that dominates the government’s security and intelligence agencies. And because he and other online activists are far from the front lines, some argue that their social media posts are ultimately a distraction. The student who witnessed the altercation at the university in Adama, for instance, said he agrees with Mohammed’s political analysis, but is concerned that the Facebook page has become a magnet for a dizzying array of viewpoints — about religion, regional politics, and ethnic strife — that make the movement more controversial than it needs to be.

Still, Mohammed has a clear strategy in mind. When it comes to human life, he advocates nonviolence. But he encourages demonstrators to block trade routes, destroy the property of companies that are seen as operating against Oromo interests, and avoid bringing crops to market in order to raise food prices.

Might such tactics be unethical during the worst drought Ethiopia has witnessed in decades, which has left 10.2 million people in need of emergency food aid? “Morally, yes,” Mohammed said. “Strategically, no.”

Officials have no time for these “activists on the other side of the Atlantic,” said government spokesman Getachew Reda. He claimed that agitators, some of whom have backing from Eritrea, Ethiopia’s archrival, have infiltrated the ranks of the protesters and are responsible for the current violence. The government security forces, by contrast, have generally handled the situation professionally, he said.

“We may have some bad apples,” Reda said. “Otherwise, the security apparatus that we have in this country is very much oriented towards serving the interests of the public.”

Amid this war of words, normal citizens are caught in the middle. In the quiet café in Adama, the engineering student spelled out a set of remarkably prosaic demands: He would like to see more Oromo professors at the university, for instance, and a fairer allocation of resources for the region. But, he said, he stays quiet for fear of Ethiopia’s pervasive security and intelligence apparatus.

“People don’t feel free,” he said. “We are all psychologically impacted.”

After two months of violent demonstrations, the government announced that it was scrapping the master plan. It wasn’t enough. Some protesters said they didn’t believe it had really been canceled. Others were motivated by grievances that run much deeper than any development scheme, citing marginalization stretching all the way back to the late 1800s, when the Ethiopian emperor Menelik II swept in from the north to expand Ethiopia’s borders and establish the capital city in Oromo lands.

On paper, today’s federal system is meant to ensure some measure of autonomy for all of the country’s ethnic groups, including the Oromos. The ruling coalition, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), is made up of four regional parties, including the TPLF and the Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO). But the government lost some credibility in May, when the EPRDF and allied parties won every parliamentary seat in a national election. Though the OPDO holds more parliamentary seats than any other party, protesters say the party either cannot or will not challenge the dominance of the TPLF — and Oromos remain marginalized as a result.

Officials say they are trying to promote meaningful dialogue. “It is the government’s responsibility to make sure that people’s legitimate grievances are addressed properly,” Reda said. To that end, OPDO officials have convened meetings with concerned citizens across Oromia, and hundreds of low-level officials have been dismissed for corruption.

But the government has continued to lean on its powerful security apparatus, which has both enabled Ethiopia’s impressive, state-led economic development and imperiled it by bringing ethnic tensions to the fore. The ongoing protests in Oromia point to cracks in the facade, where citizens feel left out as the government pursues its uncompromising vision of modernization.

By continuing to crack down on demonstrators instead of listening to their demands, Ethiopia risks compromising the reputation for political stability that fueled its unprecedented decade of growth and foreign investment. In that way, the government may soon erode the very foundation of its own economic ambitions.

Ethiopia: Oromo protests continue amid harsh crackdown

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  – At first sight, things seem to have returned to normality in the town of Ambo, 120 kilometers West of Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa. Few uniformed security forces are visible on the streets. People seem to go about their daily lives as usual.

But speak to almost any resident, and a different picture emerges.

“We are living in a violent kind of peace,” says an 18-year-old student, who does not want to reveal his name. As many people interviewed for this story, he fears he might end up in jail, or worse, for speaking his mind.

Ambo is perhaps best known for two things: Ethiopia’s most popular mineral water, and its university, often a hotspot for anti-government demonstrations. Such displays of public dissent earned the town a reputation as the bastion of opposition in a country where the ruling party and its allies took all 547 parliament seats in last year’s election.

When people took to the streets in nearby Ginchi in November last year to object about plans to requisition public land for an investment, residents in Ambo soon joined in. Demonstrations spread like a wildfire across the vast Oromia region, feeding on decade-long frustrations over political and economic marginalisation.

As the protests intensified, so did accounts of police brutality amid what regime critics describe as a widespread and systematic government crackdown on opponents. Witnesses recount tales of killings, beatings and arbitrary arrests by an array of armed forces deployed to quell what had spiralled into Ethiopia’s worst civil unrest in a decade.

The heavy-handedness of the government has further spurred anger among the Oromo. Earlier in March, students from Addis Ababa University marched in protest towards the US embassy in the capital,  demanding the end to police crackdowns.

Details of the crackdowns, mostly reported through social media and by activists, have been difficult to verify. Restrictions on movement have made independent investigations risky for human rights workers and journalists alike. Two foreign journalists and their translator were recently arrested  for covering the protests.

The 18-year-old student in Ambo told Al Jazeera that he was shot in his hand when the military opened fire at the protesting crowd. Even though his hand is healing, he hasn’t returned to school in fear of intelligence officers, who are allegedly combing classrooms for those who took part in the protests.

“They are still looking for people and taking them to prison,” he said, trying to conceal the dressing on his hand to avoid attracting the attention of security personnel, who many think are roaming the streets in civilian clothing.

Silenced testimonies

Such testimonies stand in stark contrast from the image the country often  presents to the outside world.

Ethiopia’s state-led development plan has resulted in double-digit growth, improvement of key socio-economic indicators  and has helped attract billions inaid. The country is also an important security ally for Western governments in the volatile Horn of Africa.

It’s uncertain how many people have died in the clashes. Local observers put the figure at between 80 and above 200, while New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW) estimates that well over 200 people may have lost their lives since November.

More than a dozen police officers have also been killed in the unrest. Protesters stand accused of attacking public buildings and burning the houses of government officials.

The government has dismissed HRW’s death toll as an exaggeration, but has yet to provide its own estimate.

“We are already taking actions, except that we are not in a shouting match with the media or self-appointed human rights activists,” said Getachew Reda, Ethiopia’s minister of Information.

The government has accused radical elements of stoking the unrest but asserts that investigations into the heavy use of force are under way. Yet many Oromo say authorities have failed to take responsibility.

Four families of victims interviewed said no government officials had come to investigate the deaths of their loved ones.

“The only time any government officials come here is to spy on us,” said Worku Bayi, the father of one of the victims killed in the protests, 22-year-old Aschalew Worku.

After his death, authorities reportedly accused Aschalew of being a member of the Oromo Liberation Front, an exiled opposition movement that the ruling party has labelled a terrorist organisation.

Witnesses blame security forces for deliberately obstructing medical care for wounded protesters. Fitale Bulti, a resident of Ambo, watched her nephew bleed to death after he was allegedly shot by security forces.

“The police wouldn’t let us take him to the hospital,” said Bulti. “For over an hour we just stood there, watching his blood run down the street.” Her nephew, Ulfata Bulti, was only 12 years old.

Just across the street, Degeneh Shugi, 36, says he was stopped and beaten by security forces while on his way to work. Accused of participating in the protests, he was then taken to the police station along with 15 others, where he was held for four days. Degeneh’s mother, Derebe Yirga, who is a member of the Oromo Federalist Congress opposition party, reportedly remains in police custody.

Rights groups and opposition leaders allege that thousands have been arrested in the most recent crackdowns, a scale that is reminiscent of mass arrests of opposition members during the turbulent aftermath (PDF) of the 2005 elections.


Watch: Hailemariam Desalegn – democracy ‘not only an election’


“There are several hundreds that have been detained from our party. But we don’t know for sure, as we have lost a lot of communication,” said Merera Gudina, chairman of the Oromo Federalist Congress opposition party in an interview in Addis Ababa.

Gudina named five members of the party’s top leadership who have been held or placed under house arrests since protests began.

Al Jazeera contacted several officials in the Oromia regional government for comment, but was denied interviews amid rumors of internal reshuffling. Analysts and observers believe that the handling of the crisis has created a rift between the ruling TPLF, the lead party within the ruling collation, and its allied OPDO party charged with governing Oromia.

The OPDO’s decision to halt a controversial “master plan” that governs the expansion of the capital into Oromia, which is what initially sparked protests, has failed to put an end to the crisis. Many Oromo demand genuine reforms and justice for those killed.

“The government said it would stop the master plan just to calm the people. But what we need is a lasting solution to this crisis,” said 23-year-old Gudisa Ragassa, the younger brother of another victim killed in Ambo.

“If the government can’t do that, they shouldn’t be in power.”

Ethiopia’s Oromo people demand equal rights in protests

Largest ethnic group in Ethiopia continues to rally against the government despite crackdown.

Wolonkomi, Ethiopia – Six-year-old Abi Turi and her nine-year-old brother Dereje have not been attending classes in Wolonkomi.

Their school was closed in January as the Ethiopian government began what its critics call a crackdown on protests by the Oromo, the country’s largest ethnic group.

It is uncertain how many people have died in clashes between security forces and protesters since November, when a series of demonstrations began.

Local estimates put the figure at between 80 and above 200. The New York-based Human Rights Watch has said that more than 200 people may have died in about six months, a figure the government denies.

“With regards to allegations from human rights groups or self-styled human rights protectors, the numbers they come with, the stories they often paint, are mostly plucked out thin air,” Getachew Reda, the information minister, told Al Jazeera.

Abi and Dereje’s mother was among those shot in January. She was hit by a bullet in the neck. Despite receiving medical treatment, she died of her wounds in March.

“The little girl cries and keeps asking where her mother is. We feel her pain,” said the children’s grandfather Kena Turi, a farmer. “The older one cried when his mother was shot and died, but now it seems he understands she’s gone.”

Oromo students began rallying to protest against a government plan they said was intended to expand the boundaries of Addis Ababa, the capital, into Oromia’s farmland.

Protests continue

Oromia is the country’s largest region, and many there believe the government did not want to redevelop services and roads, but that it was engaged in a landgrab.

Though the government shelved its “Integrated Development Master Plan” due to the tension, protests continued as the Oromo called for equal rights.

In February, another anti-government rally turned violent. Nagase Arasa, 15, and her eight-year-old brother Elias say they were shot in their legs while a demonstration happened near their home.

“I was in the back yard walking to the house when I was shot,” Nagase told Al Jazeera.

“My brother was in the house. I couldn’t walk I was bleeding. Then I was hit again when I was on the ground I felt the pain then my brother came to help me and he was shot too.”

Ethiopia has an ethnically-based federal system that gives a degree of self-rule to the Oromo people.

But the Oromo opposition, some of whose members have been detained, says the system has been corrupted by the ruling coalition, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front.

A ‘marginalised’ community

Merera Gudina, an Oromo politician, said that members of his community feel marginalised — excluded from cultural activities, discriminated against because of their different language, and not consulted in political or economic decisions.

With double-digit growth over the last decade, Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but the majority of the Oromo remain poor.

“Until the Oromo’s get their proper place in this country I don’t think it [dissent] is going to go. The government wants to rule in the old way; people are resisting being ruled in the old way,” Gudina said.

Reporting and recording human rights abuses is also risky, activists told Al Jazeera. Local and foreign journalists said attempts were made to intimidate them, with some detained.

Al Jazeera spoke with local reporters who said they were too afraid to even try and cover the issue.

“It’s very dangerous. Everybody is living in fear. They imprison people every day. People have disappeared. Doing this work is like selling my life,” a human rights activist told Al Jazeera, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Government rejects claims

Kumlachew Dagne, a human rights lawyer, said there was a need for “public forums and consultation for debates on public policy issues” to allow for different views to be heard. He added that the protesters who were injured or killed had not been armed.

“Many of those people were killed after the protests took place many of the people were shot in the back some were shot in the head, which shows that these people were not armed,” he said.

“They were peaceful demonstrators. That is consistent with reports we had from victims’ families.”

The government rejects such claims as exaggerated or fabricated.

“People, whether they are civilians or security officials who have been involved in an excessive use of force, will be held responsible,” Reda said.

He said the government would consult with the Oromo people and “address the underlying problems”.

One more left in Africa: half a devil and half an Abyssinian Empire

Truth-barometer #1

By Odaa Hora

In understanding to explain Abyssinia without Europe and her extended family abroad, is an analog to judge a book by its cover, which most of the cash trapped captive and cop out scholars did in the past, and some still do. In fact, If a scholar is sacred to its’ discipline the name Abyssinia (mainly meant Amhara and Tigre) itself sheds a light on it. It was the Europeans who replaced the name Habesha (Half-Asian and Half-African) with Abyssina in their epoch. The name Abyssinia  was most popularly used in literature until Tefere Mekonnen and replaced it with a stolen name “Ethiopia” and constitutionally approved in 1931.

The source of the term Abyssinian that could be the nominalization of the English word Abyss via late Latin from Greek abussos ‘bottomless’ plausible have deictic connotation that describes the mannerism, mindset, diabolic lies, myth, hypocrisy and the chameleon-like character of the Habeshas indeed, and most importantly her self-denials that earlier European travelers, missioners continuously observed and reported in their books and diaries. The Habeshas were nomadic tribes who continuously flew to from arduous dry desert of southern part of Arabian peninsula most plausible from today’s Yemen to save their life from dying of hunger to the richest and highly civilized northeastern part of Africa, settled and lived isolated for centuries between the burning shores of the red sea in the east and the high mountain ranges between Tekeze and Beehelo on one side and Eeju in the west that is often impassable. They gradually admixed with the indigenous People, whose name Habesha (Half-Asian and Half-African) is self’s explanatory.

Today more than ever there is sufficient evidence that proves that the Abyssinian who propagated against Autochthonous people for centuries long as immigrants, come from Madagascar, and more surprising  “out of Water, and a people without history,” vilified everything of primordial of the people in which they settled. The Oromo proverb  says Boroonif dhuugaan suuta if’ttii,” roughly translates like this, “Truth and morning become light through time”

The fact is the Habeshas are  telling whom they are not who we are indeed, and  without a shadow of a doubt we know them who they are deep to their bone marrow whereas they cannot even know our names later alone our culture, moral and ethics. History proves today than ever we are the cradle of Human, Humanity, Culture, Religion, Moral, Ethics; Philosophy, Science [Mathematics, Medicine, Astrology, e.t.c. that rose for more than Five to Ten thousand years before Abraham, who was considered to be the Father of Hebrews, later know us Jews was not born on this blue planet, let alone the so called a virtual Menelik were born. Facts about the pedigree of Habeshas wrote, Munroy-Hay, 1991 in his research publication said that: “Later in the mid -1st millennium B.C. the southern Arabian immigrants or Sabaens appeared in Ethiopia, a Semitic-speaking who maintained contacts with the country of their origin for centuries.” Furthermore, Kivisild et al., 2004 quoted from Semino et al. 2004 in studies of Ethiopians and Yemeni mtDNA Phylogenesis investigation found out that “The Y-chromosomal haplogroup J1-M267,which is widespread through ought Arab-speaking countries and encompassed a third of Amharan Y-chromosome, has hardly penetrated the Cushitic–speaking Oromo population.” That proofs that the male offspring’s of the Habeshas, divers and invaders dominated the population immigrated from the southwest Asia to the horn of Africa than the female population who turned the indigenous female population within which they settled to slaves, concubines, house servants, sex objects.

 

She claim to be the direct descendants of the mythical son of Solomon who begat Sheba (Makeda or Balkis) in Jerusalem and came back to Africa after she got what she want and gave birth to a son called “Menelik” “the tribe of Judah” more pompous and extremely obscure ‘Conqueror of The Lion of the tribe of Judah, elect of God, to rule Africans those who had no Jews blood (Jus sanguinis) flowing in the veins and arteries.’ that breaks every rule. To make it more palatable Solomon and Sheba meet not biological according to the law of nature, but spiritually. Nobody knows for sure if the figure Sheba is, she or it, a woman or an animal with goat legs. The Zionist ideological and religious in scripts of the Alexandrian Copts in Egypt that was compiled in two volumes of books of folklore from southeast Asian that was brought to the region by Egyptians by her request.

She portrayed herself as a Christian faith, even more, she holds the Ark of the covenant in her church, which the so-called Menelik I was  said to have brought it from Jerusalem to his country for safe keeping, in their Hut “ church” yet no one has seen, touched and smelled it. The irony of it is that there are still some cop-outs  who has trouble to ferret out the truth and can not rationalize, and redundantly tell  the   fables and myths of middle ages as history in the 21century, an area of computer, laser technology,DNA tracing, carbon dating, etc..

 

Abyssinia: a mirror image of colonizers designed in Berlin to serve as a marionette

 

Abyssinia as settler colonial empire was created during the Scramble for Africa in Berlin conference in 1884/1885 by greedy political western colonizers, Europe and the USA as an extended arm of western colonial political projects. Apropos, Europe is the second smallest and the most resourceless of all the continents in the world, there were some coals, but not enough for her ravenous demands. Therefore, all what she needed (and still needs) to develop, to survive, to fulfill her greedy needs had to (or must) come from abroad at all costs. It explains, in a somewhat macabre manner, the brutality and genocides committed by the Europeans who went out into the world to acquire lands, resources, and wealth which were, in turn, shipped back to develop Europe and by extension the USA.

Although, there were no single African representative in Berlin conference, where the African continent was sliced as a piece of cake Abyssinia was considered as “Partner, Quasi partner” as their extended arm of European and American colonialism by all governments participated in conference unanimously; thirteen in number including USA without reservation or even comment in her absence; as it was said that exceptions make rules.

 

Menilik II :The face of Monster/genocider: Photo Alfred Ilg,1990 with his Gun

Menilik II was known for his cruelty, eviction, burning houses, an extermination orderer (Harma muraa -Breast amputation), (Harka muraa-Hand amputation), Miila muraa- Leg amputation,looter and rider of Cattles. During this period Abyssinia proper was expanded to about 5 to 6 times to its original size. Menilik II who was known for his cruelty, eviction, burning houses, an extermination orderer (Harma muraa -Breast amputation), (Harka muraa-Hand amputation), Miila muraa- Leg amputation), in Oromia and others indigenous people of African descendent, is analogy to European colonizers such as (Leopold II of Belgium in Congo Free State, Lothar von Trotha (extermination orderer) of Germany in South West Africa (Namibia) just to note two among others. As a result of defending their land, It was estimated that over 5 million Oromos were massacred by Meniliks predatory infantry in 1900 within ten years alone, reduced to half of its estimated population. The number of Oromo neighbors like Sidama, Ogaden, others incarcerated in Menliks Empire succumbed bounded to British colonies in all three directions had the same fate as Oromos.

She was designed as a mirror image the colonizers who knew her ambitions and mythology that suits to the colonizers from abroad to be used as marionette for their colonial political projects, spheres of influences and competition for prestige in the horn of Africa, as  a gate of three continents, the Red Sea, its coasts and the River Nile. The major objective of the  colonizers who claimed and sliced African soil as a piece of cakes was to avoid clashes within European colonials rivals, most prominently Britain and France that were deep rooted in their history of colonization such as the Americas. It worth noticing that there is no a continent that conducted genocides and ethnocide and extermination within its continent and beyond its geographical border, via seas and oceans in the last two millennium.

Thus, Abyssinia was invented to serve as everybody’s carriage, or everybody’s car that holds true the very date. Analog to the European nations who invaded Africa, the Abyssinians; the offspring’s of divers, invaders who settled and lived isolated for centuries between the burning shores of the red sea in the east and the high mountain ranges in the horn of Africa that is often impassable, supported with massive Europeans rifles and ammunition, military experts and intelligence e.t.c., waged wars, conducted genocides and ethnocides. As a result, Abyssinia proper was expanded to about 5 to 6 times go on and on. Since her invention, she was portrayed as “unique, the only independent, sovereign state, bastion of African Liberation against colonialism” on the global political arena that treads with the fake and stolen name “Ethiopia”, baptized and anointed by her inventors and donors is a predatory settler colonial (Neftenynet) system of operation in all spheres of life within this artificial demarcation. Since her invention she has been a burden of the whole of southern peoples estimated to over Eighty Ethno-nationals incarcerated and languishing in all sphere of life in this prison house independent of their land masses and population size  that serves as prey that holds true to the very date. while the southern people and their land are rich in resources (flora and fauna) culture and history and human power while Abyssinia proper his diametrically the opposite, the poorest in the resource,weak know with her chronical hunger, malnutrition, aids and dependence on global donors. A people without history,but folklore and myth of Zionism false bloated patriotism which has only served to mask the facts.

In examining the partitions of Africa, Rotimi Sankore in his article titled, Africa The 1884 scramble was for resources to develop Europe published in the some issue of October 2005 wrote, “By cynically formalizing the scramble for Africa and its resource by European and North American powers, the Berlin conference consolidated the balkanization of Africa for imperialist exploitation and cemented the basis for Africa for being the most atomized, exploited and economically underdeveloped continent on the planet.”

Settler colonial Empire of Abyssinia

 

The source of the term Empire comes from Latin word imperium which mean to command, to control, to rule. Michael Mann defined an empire (drawing on Max Weber) quoted by Walter Scheidel:

a differentiated set of institutions and personnel, embodying centrality, in the sense that political relations radiate outwards from a center to a cover territorially demarcated area, over which it claims a monopoly of binding and permanent rule-making, backed up by physical violence.’

An empire is an invented Ideological Jingoisms (IJ); the software of an empire (the invisible one), analog to the computer buttressed by  deploying Physical violence (PV); its military force, the hardware (the tangible one) analog to computer, equipped with advanced firearms compared to the targeted territory and its inhabitants at specific time and place. It is a designed and planned political organ to invade the territory of the targeted people. It consists of institutions and personnel to execute its projects’ of territorial expansion and exploitation.

At the begging of its invention, the empire creates IJ, fabricates all around the societal life of its prey; the targeted people, as it suits to its resource exploitation, wealth, and psychological satisfaction, which are diametrically opposite and uncompromising to the targeted people its prey to colonize. That leads to life or death and the fate is determined by who holds better killing firearms. For instance, the following fact  described during the invasion of Menelik II; The genociderr to the southeast of Oromo land from Laaga Awaas (river Awash) to the with his barbarian hordes who must swallow a bitter pill of the Karrayu and Arsi Oromos Javelin, Sheild and Sword of the brave Cavalaris which his loyal troops and their leaders has never ever faced. An eyewitness of barbaric acts of Menelik hordes, (Martial De Salvic (1901) English translation by Ayalew Kanno (2008) reminds us in Prelude,The words of brave Arsi Oromo cavalrymen, and Abyssinian Army:

“THE OROMO ARMY.-Your victorious rifles inflates you with pride. Throw it therefore to the ground and come to measure yourself against me: you will see that I am stronger. If you agree to put down your rifle on the ground, one of my warriors would like five of yours; one alone will subdue fifty of you; a handful of my braves will smash your battalions.”

.

THE ABYSSINIAN ARMY:If I put my rifle on the ground, I know that you would be my vanquisher, as former times. No, I will not leave my rifle..”

While the hardware without software and vice versa is dysfunctional on the computer, so as to an empire, without the incorporating of the IJ with PV is unimaginable to execution his designs and plans of the occupation of targeted territory and people beyond its territory. By deploying its military forces equipped with advanced modern war machinery with IJ, the empire instigates and wages wars deliberately with a motto to turn the land of the targeted natives  to  “terra nullies,”  to ashes and rubble in order to gain territorial acquisition and occupation to claim an ownership; my land, my property, and I have an absolute right to do what I want to do with it.

While, there is no land without inhabitants where human beings can survive and live on this planet, and land is equable to life, and no one give up his ancestral land and life to aliens without sacrifices, resistance to survive and fight with all means they have the  empire conducts gruesome acts of genocides and ethnocides on the Autochthonous people’s ancestral soil consciously deploying his military, armed with modern firearms and techniques which the empire is prepared for it, the only way to resolve the antagonistic conflict to achieve its final goal of occupation and preplanned exploitation.

During this period, the empire also legitimizes its IJ; folklores, fables, racial prejudice, religious bigotry, civilization myth and the lists go on harmonizing with deployed forces of violence to achieve its objective. The irony of it is, the empire tries to  justify its act of crime, and further invents pseudo-scientific treats to qualify deliberately distorted, contorted, cursed history, culture, religion, tradition, customs, moral  ethics, almost everything of the natives otherness that doesn’t bring profit. While all IJ and PV and its  executions are for profit

It is crucial to accentuate that no human being on this planet invaded or invade the other, conducted or conduct genocide, ethnocide, lead to chattel slavery, pack in reservoirs, exploit labor and plunder resources from the others and send back home to civilize them in human history.

While no natives possess industrialized war machinery to combat, have either psychological, societal nor cultural preparedness to the level of the invaders, the natives lose the battle against the empire at this time and the aliens occupy the ancestral soil of the targeted people. Once, the empire won and controlled the territory it establishes its own institutional networks and bureaucracy that radiates outwards to the periphery from its core of control in order to command the maintenance and durability of the exploitation of natural resources, labors, and the economical flow towards the center. It manages the exploitations of raw materials below and above the surface, looted and plundered objects scavenged and shipped back to its destiny, its home; the birthplace of the Empire.

Through institutionalizing its system of operation, the empire also attempts to control the mind of the incarcerated natives of the occupied territory. Thus, it must wage the second, more dangerous and durable wars; wars on the otherness colonialization of the mind, forced assimilation by trying to erase the identity of the targeted people and history. The Empire knows that history and culture are a Jugular vein and Achilles tendon of people to whom they belong. That is why all  empires wages wars on the history of the indigenous people, curses their primordial cultures, traditions, languages, destroy their symbols and tries to install its own version IJ as history. By any standard empire is  moralless and ethicless. It destroys nature (flora and fauna), deforestation, pollutes the environment, acidify the soil, poison the rivers and lakes using chemicals, pollute air with toxic emissions, introduce  unknown infectious diseases and seedlings which are unknown to natives in the occupied territories that lead to  unimaginable and unreversible catastrophe.

At the societal and economic level, the empire establishes itself as a master, a predatory; the hunter, and the who physically survived from the gruesome acts of the established empire in practice, either turned to slaves and sold as animals, captives as booty, or assimilated by force to serve the empire as its vassals in all sphere of social, economic and political services of the institutionalized empire.

During this period of interaction between the commanding empire and the people under occupation, already unreconcilable conflicts were planted and growing from time to time to be strong and unbreakable.  . The empire has occupied the land and attempts to occupy the mind of the people of the occupied territory. It determines their life under its control and provision. There is nothing left for the subjugated people except to fight by any means possible covertly or overt. The empire can not live in heaven on the occupied ancestral soil of the targeted people while the subjugated natives of the land live in hell on the some planet, Thus, there is no another alternative except resist to survive liberty for  life, or death, the beginning of boomerang effect. On the other side, the empire has already begun to dig its own hole to be buried in, one day. As a German proverb that says, “Ich tue dir was zu mir.” analogy to “You killed us prepare to die.” Now, once the revolt is matured, the question left unanswered is not a matter of how, but a matter of when that the empire collapse and falls apart.

It is not necessary to go back to the so-called “Holy Roman Empire.” In fact, it was neither holy nor Roman, or to the British Empire that was called “The Empire in which the sun never set.” Indeed, in the British colonies of Cecil Rhodes (the African Holocaust) in Africa, the sun had never risen, to grasp the fall of empires from within, when we have destined to witness that the USSR: in short, the Soviet Union was collapsed in recent past. What is important to notice is when the communist blocks were on crashing, found in turbulent in summer 1989, neither the Communist Party General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Mr. M. Gorbachov, the founder of “Perestroika” and “Glasnost,” nor R. W. Reagan, The President of the USA, or anyone else knows what will happen in the weeks, months and years to come.

That indicates war machinery, the military might physical violence of any form have never ever rescued empires from collapse in human history when the consciousness of the oppressed people arose. We must remember that the military might of Soviets was comparable to that of USA; during the so-called cold war era. Nevertheless, Soviets military power, long-range missiles stockpiled highly contagious microbes and gasses did not deter the collapse of the communist blocks and their marionettes within Europe or abroad initially and the rebirth of over fifteen sovereign states within the Soviet Union itself finally.

Indeed, history proofs that the reverse is true. The more the Empire implements violence against the civilian population, conducts inhuman acts, kills, jails, tortures, rapes, represses, and plunders the resources limitlessly, when the vast majority of the native population incarcerated in the empire lingers in jail, starving, left dying from, hunger and the extent of repression and violence is inhuman and unbearable, the stronger the resistance, back fight, sabotage and disobedience shall be the occupied and the subjugated people, hence, there is no any alternative but freedom at last or death. Dying for freedom and liberation indeed led to the real eternity in the mind of his people as heroes and heroines, inspires, unites the resistance and galvanizes the masses human power from all angles of social status, independent of gender, age, faith, and political lines stalwart the population to fight with all means necessary to dismantle the Empire. To achieve its goal, while the only liberated mind can liberate his land and is immune to fear and prepared to sacrifice that energizes and fertilizes each other with all information and wisdom of liberation and, deploys all tools and resources at hand, fine tune its tactics and  strategically knowledge all in one. As they are within the empire they are the masters of detectives on the weak links of the empire within and abroad. while they are sacrificing for their natural right as any human being on this planet, they win the sympathy of their likes at the local level, neighbors of the same fate the oppressed and gain fairly acceptance and supporters at the global level; a boost, legitimacy to resist, fight for liberty, a nightmare and a stroke for the dying empire that finally leads to its burial.

As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, empires, large or small, rich or poor created by invaders; colonizers who conducted genocide and ethnocide had fallen apart, and shall fall apart independent of time and place. That is what history teaches to those who are in a position to learn from it. Thus, it is not a question of how, but when that one of the poorest predatory, barbarian Empire, fake Ethiopian shall fall apart. Currently, she is on the state of metastasis and the countdown timer is ticking.

In every age, it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People.” (Canton, 1918).
