@EthiopianHRC is reporting a massacre in Naqamtee, Oromiyaa. Information so far indicates that the name of the church is ARAARAA church led by pastor Meseret. This congregation is known in western Oromia for its healing ministry. This is against freedom of religion.
3. UN peacekeeping operation is a potential instrument to restrain your illegal objective. 4. Bruh! What could have been settled with Abbaa Gadaas and other Shimagiles has now made its way to Security Council in NYC. Deal with it!
6. If you had read Art. 2(4) of the UN Charter, Use of Force is PROHIBITED in the context of both inter or intra-State violence.
5. The existing international legal order had a well established custom of military intervention to stop violence similar to yours. Ask your advisors about Serbia (1999) and Haiti (1994). Not to mention Iraq (2002–>Resolution 1441)
Abiy Ahmed is invoking international law’s principle of “non-intervention” as warning tool.He scantly cites art. 2(7) of UN charter. BUT: 1. The situation is likely to be assessed under art. 39-42 of the charter. 2. Intervention is inevitable (ifUN authorizes) 3. UN Peacekeeping
COURT UPDATE Jawar Mohammed and Bekele Gerba didn’t appear at Federal Court this morning for unknown reasons. @hrw @amnesty @UNHumanRights @AP @washingtonpost @TheEconomist @LaetitiaBader @FelixHorne @Oromo_Lawyers @oromoprotestsHQ
It is time for UN Security Council to refer Situation in Ethiopia to the ICC to investigate the commission of the crimes under its jurisdiction. The ongoing situation in Ethiopia definitely poses a threat to international peace and security! This is not propaganda!

It’s tragic that civilian deaths are normalized in Ethiopia. We don’t even have independent media either willing or allowed to report on these anymore Lack of competent leadership is what’s killing the country and the people. Reconciliation and Self-governance are the solution
Stop the epidemic of killings of civilians! Call for an all-inclusive national dialogue, and Set out a roadmap towards sustainable peace, democracy and development.
Ethiopia is at a critical moment. No mincing of words: we’re on a verge of a civil war. Only robust dialogue amongst all stakeholders could avert this. No way around it. Repression is not the solution. We are running out of time. Compromise is not a four letter word.

This is Abiyot Abba Bilisummaa! He was arrested yesterday in Finfinnee by the illegal regime of Abiy Ahmed without any court warrant or probable cause. He is a hardworking father of two who leads his life trying to make ends meet for his family.
The only pediatrician doctor in the entire region is now in prison on what seems is a politically motivated reason! What does this tell us about Abiy’s. Ethiopia? Arresting this doctor has a disastrous consequence for the population of the region he serves!
A TRIBUTE TO YOUNG AWOL- BAALEE ROOBEE The life of this Oromo young man was taken away yesterday by the security forces deployed by Abiy Ahmed
Dr. Fekede was arbitrarily arrested two weeks ago without any court warrant or probable cause. His arrest comes after Abiy Ahmed’s renewed policy to crackdown on critical Oromos who won’t buy into his dictatorship and his decision to indefinitely postpone national election.
Unlawful Death has become normal in Ethiopia. Democratic election, which should have been the source of political solution, is indefinitely postponed by Abiy Ahmed. On the other hand, the illegal regime of Abiy is deciding to arm people residing in the conflict region!
Twelve people die in renewed clashes in Ethiopia’s western region of Benishangul-Gumuz, the country’s human rights commission says trib.al/hYAVlXv
Who remembers the early days of EPRDF, when they intentionally kill or imprison opponents and when criticized by international community turn around and blame institutional weakness and ask for more money to change them. The more things change the more they remain the same.
“Disputes under democracy are never definitely solved;rather,they are temporarily accommodated & thus reformulated for next time. Well-structured democratic institutions allow conflicts to formulate, find expressions & be managed in a sustainable way, via institutional outlets...
