TWO MONTHS AGO TODAY: 

WE LOST HAACAALUU HUNDEESSAA! 

On June 29th, 2020, the Oromo nation lost one of its finest musical giant, whose indomitability surpasses fear of any kind. 

He always shows up with a marvelously gifted voice and organically minted melody! Undeniably talented and bitingly expressive, he sang existence and hope into the oromo and friends of the Oromo for the last decade! 

The forms and contents of his works are phenomenal! Stellar! Revolutionary! He and his works are sealed for an imperishable eternal legacy! 

That was HAACAALUU HUNDEESSAA ! A 34 years old man- a father of three beautiful souls! An Oromo, who loved, lived and left his life for the Oromo! He gave his ALL! To the Oromo! 

The twist of fate that ended Haacaaluu’s life wasn’t just an incidentally hate-filled act of private assassination! It is one that is hegemonic, deeply embedded, unreadable, undetectable structural violence of Ethiopian State and it’s militant culture against the Oromo nation and it’s sons and daughters! 

We lost Haacaaluu to that kind of assassination! On June 29, 2020! 

One week before he was gunned down, Haacaaluu spoke to the Oromia Media Network. Live viewership of the fateful interview of Haacaaluu was one with an all time high-24k live viewers. 

In the interview, as he always do, Haacaaluu fearlessly and unflinchingly summarized the state of political perplexity and national uncertainty in Ethiopia. 

Two major problem he articulated: First, he pointed out the questionable political willingness and interest of PM Ato Abiy Ahmed in resolving Oromo demand for equality and justice; second, he unblinkingly told the OMN journalist that he “walks and lives with death everyday in the City of Finfinnee”- not knowing when he gets killed. 

In the interview, Haacaaluu characterized his enemy and the enemy of the Oromo as the repressive political system that fetches it’s ideology from the historical Neftegna system. It is the system that has its roots in the emperial System of the country known for its asymmetrical land governance and flagrant injustices. 

With the Prime Minister Ato Abiy Ahmed coming to power with a preponderant political vision of restoring Imperial Ethiopia, the system seems to have regained a considerable grace in the country’s political practice. 

Maddened with the turn of events in the country, Haacaaluu said word by word in interview: “Diinni uummata Oromoo kaleessas, har’aas, boruus nafxanyaa dha.” Meaning: “Neftegna was yesterday, today, and tomorrow the enemy of the Oromo people.” The link to his OMN interview  is available everywhere on social media and on Internet. 

Haacaaluu also told the journalist the story of an Oromo peasant called Siidaa Dabalee and how Menilik (the emperor who started the repressive Neftegna system a century ago) stole his brave Horse (Farda Siidaa Dabalee). The Oromo peasant was from the nearby sub-city of Galaan. 

Haacaaluu had referred to this historical facts in one of his mellifluent revolutionary songs in the past. 

Haacaaluu was assassinated exactly a week ago after he gave the interview. He was gunned down in Galaan area, where the Oromo historical figure Siidaa Dabalee hailed from. 

Two months into his assasination, the Oromo people are yet to see some sort of semblance of justice. No crime scene had been preserved. No autopsy was conducted. No independent investigation was set up! 

He was rushed to a burial ground by the government forces with no formal send-off! 

Would we be lucky one day to see the real killers of Haacaaluu stand justice? 

We haven’t only lost a magnificent singer and songwriter; we also lost a musical dexter and masterful, and an Oromo national character whose revolutionary songs  will continue to serve as songs  of redemption for a web of an interconnected oromo social and political consciousness! 

REST IN ETERNAL GLORY AND ETERNAL POWER!

Ethiopia falls into violence a year after leader’s Nobel peace prize win

The Observer

Ethiopia

Abiy Ahmed came to power promising radical reform, but 180 people have died amid ethnic unrest in Oromia state

Ethiopia faces a dangerous cycle of intensifying internal political dissent, ethnic unrest and security crackdowns, observers have warned, after a series of protests in recent weeks highlighted growing discontent with the government of Abiy Ahmed, a Nobel peace prize winner.

Many western powers welcomed the new approach of Abiy, who took power in 2018 and promised a programme of radical reform after decades of repressive one-party rule, hoping for swift changes in an emerging economic power that plays a key strategic role in a region increasingly contested by Middle Eastern powers and China. He won the peace prize in 2019 for ending a conflict with neighbouring Eritrea.

The most vocal unrest was in the state of Oromia, where there have been waves of protests since the killing last month of a popular Oromo artist and activist, Haacaaluu Hundeessaa, in Addis Ababa, the capital. An estimated 180 people have died in the violence, some murdered by mobs, others shot by security forces. Houses, factories, businesses, hotels, cars and government offices were set alight or damaged and several thousand people, including opposition leaders, were arrested.

Further protests last week prompted a new wave of repression and left at least 11 dead. “Oromia is still reeling from the grim weight of tragic killings this year. These grave patterns of abuse should never be allowed to continue,” said Aaron Maasho, a spokesperson for the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.

The Oromo community have long felt excluded from power and the benefits of Ethiopia’s booming economy. The Oromo protest movement gained momentum from 2015 and contributed to the appointment of Abiy, an Oromo from the ruling party, who promised democracy and prosperity for all.

“We are seeing a continuation of that movement, and also signs that the government’s response will be equally forceful. Once people are shot and arrested then that becomes a rallying cry,” said William Davison, an analyst based in Addis Ababa for the International Crisis Group.

The decision to indefinitely delay elections due later this year because of coronavirus – which has caused 600 deaths in the country of 100 million so far – has also worried diplomats and other international observers.

The protests in Oromia last week began amid claims that Jawar Mohammed, an Oromo opposition politician and one of Abiy’s most outspoken critics, was being denied medical attention in prison.

Young protesters described being “hunted down, shot in the streets” in the Oromia town of Aweday.

“Soldiers shot at us so I ran as fast as I could. I witnessed people getting shot in the back as they fled,” said Kedir, who took part in a demonstration on Tuesday.

Aliyyi Mohammed, a 22-year-old from Hirna, was taken to hospital after being shot in the thigh on Monday. Relatives said he had been “nowhere near” the protests when injured and now feared for his safety. “There are police waiting outside the hospital … We have heard that they want to arrest him as soon as he’s recovered. We can only pray they leave him alone,” said a member of the family who requested anonymity.

Relatives of Farhan Ali, 22, claimed he had been killed by security forces after leaving his home in Dire Dawa to visit a neighbour. “Soldiers killed him in cold blood,” said Bahar Omar, a cousin. “He didn’t break the law. They shot him multiple times in the back. He died right there and had no chance.”

Officials have denied such claims. “There has been violence, but we are yet to confirm reports of any killings by state forces,” said Getachew Balcha of the Oromia region’s communication affairs office.

But claims of mistreatment by security forces are fuelling the cycle of unrest in Oromia. Graphic images of 21-year-old Durassa Lolo were widely shared on social media after relatives claimed he had been tortured in the town of Asasa by soldiers who had asked him for his name.

“My brother did nothing wrong. When they heard an Oromo-sounding name, his fate was sealed. They took him to a military camp and inflicted on him unbelievable savagery. [He] is fighting for his life in hospital. This is why there are protests. The government sees us as expendable,” Durassa’s brother, Abdisa Lolo, said.

The government says Haacaaluu was murdered by Oromo nationalist militants as part of a wider plot to derail its reform agenda. The ruling party has also suggested that its rival in the northern region of Tigray, the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), masterminded the conspiracy. The TPLF dominated the ruling coalition until Abiy took office. It has since joined the opposition, accusing the prime minister of planning to replace the ethnic-based federal system with a more centralised state.

Both the TPLF and Oromo nationalist groups such as the Oromo Liberation Front deny involvement in either the murder or the unrest.

Government policy has also led to fallouts within the ruling party. The defence minister, Lemma Megersa, an ally turned critic of Abiy, was last week fired and placed under house arrest. State media reported Lemma’s dismissal from the ruling party being due to his “violating party discipline”.

Analysts say it was important to recognise that recent unrest has been limited to Oromia and that there was credible evidence suggesting violence over the previous months had not simply been inflicted on protesters by the security forces but also had occurred between ethnic communities.

The office of Ethiopia’s attorney general last week defended the government’s response to the unrest, saying in a statement that investigations would reflect a “commitment to human rights”.

Abel Abate Demissie, an Addis Ababa-based analyst with London’s Chatham House, said Ethiopia’s political polarisation has deep roots, with structural problems that have been insufficiently addressed under Abiy: conflicting narratives about Ethiopia’s history, an unfinished federal project and tensions over the division of power between the centre and the regions.

“Two years down the line [after his appointment], and you find every major political group is disappointed with Abiy,” he said

The path Ethiopia is on right now is a path to nowhere - a stride into darkness.

It has been two months since Haacaaluu was assassinated, and all formidable opponents of the PM were thrown into jails based on a trumped up charges. From Jawar Mohammed and Bekele Gerba to Eskinder Nega and Lidetu Ayalew, his most outspoken critics, except those in the self-governing region of Tigray, are languishing in jails for political reasons. Make no mistake - these trials are political. Once again, the law and the judicial apparatus are being weaponized by the regime to purge its political foes from the political space. What goes on before the courts in these cases is the continuation of the political battle by a legal means. The courts, rather than being independent guardians of truth and justice, are being used as mere instruments at the disposal of the gov't.

Abiy wants to make sure that he continues to live in his garishly ornate palace (which he wants Ethiopians to view it as a model for what the country would look like under his leadership) and he seems to have come to the conclusion that he needs to get brutal if he is to avoid being ousted from his obtrusively decorated palace.

But can a dictatorship endure in today's Ethiopia? Isn't this steadfast political archetype of the last two centuries on the way out everywhere? Why does this gov't think they can get the job done (whatever that is) through force and violence?

The military-run dictatorship of the Derg, one of Africa’s most brutal military dictatorships, crumbled under the relentless onslaught of liberation movements. TPLF’s dictatorship, which maintained power through a combination of violence, and the distribution of patronage through personal and ethnic networks, succumbed to the persistent protests of teeming Oromo youth. Abiy’s dictatorship, and its neo-Neftegna apparatchiks, will prove to be one of the most unstable, out of place, and untimely of dictatorships seen anywhere in the world.

Ethiopia, as a plurinational state, faces a very complex future, and it does not need a dictatorship and a return to that dejected past to chart a mutually acceptable path and a future. What is need is finding a way to work towards constitutional settlement for the nations and nationalities, and a commitment to secure that settlement in a new social contract, which hopefully lays the foundation for the state building project that has failed for so long. One way of working towards that settlement is via a process often called National Dialogue (not the one Abiy's started after jailing all his opponents)t.

The path Ethiopia is on right now is a path to nowhere, a stride into darkness.

Release all political prisoners and return to the transitional process. This gov't is not elected and it does not have a democratic mandate to impose a political settlement for the future.

Haacaaluu Hundeessaa's voice still carries across the Oromia region and beyond

The night Haacaaluu assassinated, a friend sent me a WhatsApp message: “I am hearing disturbing reports about Haacaaluu being shot”. I wrote back saying: “No Way!”. I didn’t believe it. I texted another friend to check and he texted back saying: “Gudii taane, hin salphanne, Awol”. I then texted another friend asking the same question, and he texted back saying: “I don’t want to hear it. I can’t breathe.” I then texted back the first friend who broke the story to me: “Addis Standard reporting he is killed. So that is it? There is no more Haacaaluu?”

As I was texting back and forth with friends, my sister Hindiya came in. “Dhugaadhaa, Awwal?” (Is it true, Awol), she asked. Akkas jedhan. Dhugaa fakkaata (that is what everyone is saying. It seems true), I said, with a subdued voice. My sister burst into tears, wailing with such a sense of despair and loss. I can hear how tired and resigned her voice sounded, and it killed me inside, and that is before I even had the chance to start thinking about a world without Haacaaluu and what it means to mourn him. For me, Hindiya’s crying was the ultimate sound of the grief that struck every Oromo household.

Fast forward to mid-August, a friend of mine and I have been talking about Haacaaluu and tragic events that followed his murder. We covered a lot of grounds, from who killed Haacaaluu and the motivations for it to the violence that followed his death, from the appalling and morally bankrupt narrative of genocide/ethnic cleansing to the differential grievability of lives and the changing credibility economy within the Ethiopian state, from Abiy’s betrayal of the Oromo cause to the return to the old feudal neo-Neftegna ideology, and everything in between.

This friend of mine is a genius of empathy (if that means something). He is deeply empathetic, and his empathic concern transcends mere pity or emotional contagion or the ability to match the emotional state of others or being kind-hearted.

Now, why am I telling you all of this?

Well, he is very good at highlighting the deeper beauty of Haacaaluu’s legacy, at shifting the focus of our conversation from the weight of Haacaaluu’s loss to gratitude, to see his enduring legacy not just as the greatest gift of life but also as an anchor that holds us to a place, a cause, and a vision – those visions of a free, equal, diverse, and democratic society for which he died.

Haacaaluu’s assassination tore deep into the Oromo community but Haacaaluu left behind a legacy that outlasts his assassins. His memory is itched into our collective consciousness and he will live in the hearts and minds of the 50 million Oromos who live in the Horn of Africa for eternity.

An important part of honoring and respecting Haacaaluu’s legacy is demanding justice for him. Two months since his assassination, we still don’t have a convincing account of who killed him and why. If the system doesn’t deliver justice (note that no one is convicted for all the high-profile assassinations in the country so far), we can only assume that the state itself is the culprit.

Justice for Haacaaluu and for all those affected by the violence (mainly by state actors) that followed his assassination

" What goes around comes around"

Several media outlets reported the US Secretary of State's travel to the Sudan last week. It was also reported Mr. Pompeo summoned the Ethiopian Prime Minister there to Khartoum.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State was served with a letter written and signed by US Congressmen with respect to the human rights violations in Ethiopia. The letter asked Mr. Pompeo to report the state of the human rights violations within 60 days. Coupled with this, Oromo activists who heard about Mr. Pomoeo's scheduled meeting with Abiy bombarded him with gruesome pictures of civilians' dead bodies.

Mr. Pompeo met with the Sudanese officials but only left a message that amounted to an ultimatum for the Ethiopian Prime Minister with respect to the GERD. He basically told him to accept the decision or face the consequences. Yesterday, the US announced that it would halt its financial support to the Ethiopian government citing the latter's refusal to accept the proposed agreement.

Abiy who had been well prepared for a photo opportunity to feed to his media for propaganda purposes returned empty-handed. When the west gives a cold shoulder, it is a sign that you are out of favor.

I remeber when Tony Blair appointed Meles Zenawi as a member of British Commission for Africa. Meles was a west's darling until they could no longer tolerate his brat attitude.

He mistakenly assumed that he could play China and the West against each other and do whatever he wanted. But he soon found out that he exaggerated his own political clout when he realized that he was shunned even by Tony Blair. Mr. Blair refused to shake his hand and appear in a picture with him during their last appearance at the G-8 meeting together. Meles walked around looking for a hand shake. The rich shook each other's hands and simply ignored him.

Abiy is not even close to being as influential as Meles was. He rose to power on sombody eslse's back and his downfall is betrayal of those who helped him become someone. He was nobody. In fact, he was unemployed while his family lived in a project house in Colorado surviving on a government handout. He betrayed the man (Lamma Magarsa) who gave him not just any job but his own job. This man is now under a house arrest. Abiy has done much worse than a betrayal. He has killed and arrested the very people who gave him the mandate to lead.

As the saying, "what goes around comes around" goes, we are seeing Abiy's downfall unfolding and it is a retribution for all that he has done.

#Jawar_Mohammed statement  

——————————————————-

“I don't have a dream of having fame, wealth or a position, all I want is to see the freedom of my people. All I want is: to see an Oromo mother smile for once. All I want to see is that this Oromo mother can send her kids to university and never would need to worry that one day she would receive the dead body with a bullet wound of any of her kids. 

I want to see the Oromo farmers enjoy what they cultivated and I will fight for the Oromo businessmen to have equal rights and opportunities within the republic as well as in international trade. 

My fight is to see that the Oromo scholars can get their fair shares of opportunities in research and innovation like any other citizen of the country. I will fight to end the dismissal of Oromo students from university for just speaking out and demanding justice - that is not a crime for which they could be arrested. 

For all this, he said, I am willing to sacrifice not only my time but also my life, and these are the only valuable possessions I have."

Re: Harassment, Intimidation, and Lack of Institutional Guarantee for the OLF to Carry Out Peaceful Political Activities in Ethiopia

Dear Prime Minister,

While Ethiopian Dr Abiy Ahmed was appointed as a Prime Minister by the previous ruling EPRDF party on April 2, 2018, he promised to improve the political crises and bad human rights record of its predecessors and to transform the country into democratic political system. He invited the OLF and other opposition parties for peaceful negotiations to resolve Ethiopian political crises. Based on this invitation, the OLF exiled leaders have been moved to Ethiopia on 15 September 2018. OLF is one of major political organisation in Ethiopia struggling for freedom and democracy for over 50 years. OLF is striving to contribute to shaping the political landscape of Ethiopia through its all-inclusive democratic principles. However, despite its genuine ideology and deep-rooted popular support, the Ethiopian government is marginalising, harassing, blackmailing, and blocking every avenue of its operations in the country.

Since the OLF been moved to Ethiopia, it has been singled out by the government authorities and put under intensive harassments and intimidations. Currently, the security and safety of our leaders and members is at high risk. The regime is constantly intimidating our people; arrest large number of our leaders, members, and supporters; break into our offices and destroy documents and furniture and closing our office around the country. So far, our organisation has a record of over 300 offices closed, and over 20,000 detentions of members and supporters including 103 OLF leaders at different levels. In addition, since the last few months alone, we witness the arrest of over 10,000 members and supporters. This include senior OLF leaders and members detained from our headquarters in Gullellee (Addis Ababa) including Abdi Raggaassa, Dr Shigut Geleta, Michael Boran, Kennesa Ayyana, Colonel Gammachuu Ayyaanaa, Amaan File, Lammi Beenyaa, Yaasoo Kabbadaa, Kaayyoo Fufaa and Waagoo Noolee, and Caaltuu Takele (breast feeding mother).

Currently, there are repeated presence of Government armed police and security forces at our Main office in Gullelle (Addis Ababa) without obvious reasons. We have reached stage where we have no institutional guarantee for our peaceful political operations in the country. The government armed police force repeatedly harass our leaders and members and want to enter our office and carry out searches without any search warrant. For example, on 1st August 2020, while the OLF General Secretary returned to his office after 15 days of house arrest and communication block out, a large number of police came to the Headquarters and tried to search Mr Dawud's office. Mr Dawud asked them if they have search warrant to do so and insist them not to carry out illegal search. They instructed to him to leave his office and go home. The OLF leaders particularly, the General Secretary Mr Dawud Ibsa is under constant surveillance at his office, home, and wherever he goes. This an intimidating activity by the government police and security forces put extreme pressure not only on political activities but also it is a complete human right violation.

PM Abiy Ahmed who is the 2019 Noble peace Prize Laureate; sadly, who suddenly became ruthless dictator has broken his promise and neglected to negotiate with oppositions parties and armed groups that have been fighting for freedom and democracy for over 27 years. He also failed to meet at least basic international human rights standards. Instead PM Abiy Ahmed holds on to totalitarian system of governance as an extension of the previous EPRDF rule. Currently, he is undertaking huge crackdown to destroy the OLF. The blocking of OLF activities and other opposition parties endanger the democratisation process and negatively impact the humanitarian and human rights situation in the country- if it is not properly and immediately managed, it could lead to a catastrophic situation and disintegration of the country. There is very alarming instability and fractured political scene in Ethiopia in general and Oromia in particular.

Therefore, on behalf of the OLF, I strongly appeal to your excellency to immediately request the Ethiopian government to refrain from intimidating and obstructing OLF operations. I also appeal to you to intervene and put pressure on the Ethiopian government to refrain from crackdown of the OLF and human rights violations and urge them to engage with peaceful negotiation with oppositions and all-inclusive democratization process. Particularly, we ask your excellency to urge the Ethiopian government to:

1. Provide safety and security to OLF leaders and members at their work and private lives and offer institutional guarantee to the OLF.

2. Immediately stop the presence of armed forces in our offices and interfering to day- to- day activities of the OLF.

3. Unconditional release all OLF political leaders at all levels and allow them free movement and stop arbitrary arrests and detentions in the future.

4. Resume negotiation and formal discussion with the OLF and other opposition parties and jointly set out a road map to all-inclusive democracy.

And finally, we call up on the your excellency and the U.K. Government to impose sanctions on the Ethiopian government if it does not address

the above issues and break the international human rights covenants and continue the gross violation of human rights.

I look forward to your immediate response to this letter and hope that your excellency and your government will take serious action in commending institutional guarantee of the OLF and safety and security of its leaders, members and supporters and urge for peaceful resolution to the political crises in Ethiopia.

Peace and justice for all,

Sincerely,

Dr Bersisa Berri

Head of Diplomatic Relations
