God have Mercy Waking up to the news of the execution of Bate Urgessa, a charismatic leader, was something I never imagined. Bate Urgessa was arrested a few weeks ago during an interview with a French journalist.
While the journalist was released sooner due to international outcry and pressure, Bate remained behind bars and released recently. Tragically, he was executed last night. Accountability is hard to come by in Ethiopia.
@henokgabisa I'm shaken so sad my condolences to our Oromo brothers
@henokgabisa It goes to show how peaceful political participation is shut down by @AbiyAhmedAli . I am mad and saddened by this and I hope his family get through this tough times.
@henokgabisa Very sad news. May he rest in peace!
