Jawar, Hamza, Shemsuddin and countless other Oromo politicians and activists spent this year’s Eid behind bars. They are being held by the prosperity party regime because they posed a real electoral threat to the incumbent.
The glimmer of hope Ethiopia saw died on that day when the iconic Oromo artists Haacaaluu Hundeessaa was assassinated and leading figures within the Oromo opposition detained.
As I celebrated Eid today, I have been thinking of Jawar, Hamza, Shemsudin and many others who couldn’t celebrate because they are unjustly incarcerate by the state
