It is true that 18 persons are killed many others wounded and many houses
houses, resturants and hotels that belong to Oromos are burned down.
The causes of killings and burning of houses has nothing to do with grazing
and farm land or khat. This is the second time that killings occur in Wondo
Gennet in one year. First time 11 persons were 11 killed.
The cause is that the Gugi Oromo people in the area have no representation
in the district and government level.
They have been suppressed by sidama clans and they have been demonstrating
the lack of democratic rights in the area to the governmen for the last 15
years. Because of this the government decided to count Gugi oromos and
Sidama people in Wondo Gennet area. According to the count there were 26000
adult oromos in the area. The Ethiopian government office decided to give
the Gugi oromos the representation in the government offices. This made the
sidama clans irritated because they were dominating and supressing the
Oromos for many years. They then started killing the people and burn the
houses, hotels and restaurants that belong to gugi oromos. That was the
main
cause of the death of 18 persons. It is difficult to hide the fact today
when even the farmers caryy the mobile telephones and can contact the whole
world. I hope the Ethiopian government takes care of the case by punishing
the criminals and and help restore peace in the area. Democratic rights to
all its citizens. otherwise the rest of the world can lough at africa
particurlaly Ethiopia. There should not be master clans in Ethiopia. All
nations and nationalities must be seen as equal as this is the goal of
Ethiopian government. We cry to the president of Ethiopia Melse Zenawee
that he should take controll of the region and create peace. All peace
loving democratic part of the world may help us through denouncing the
killing and help Ethiopian government to establish peace in the region.
Help, help the poor farmers who have no voice of their own !!!
