The Sinister Dirty Game of the PP Regime with Moyale
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-08-052025-08-04

The Moyale annexation saga is no accident — it is the latest chapter in the OPDO/PP regime’s betrayal of Oromia. While the Somali parliament claims Oromo land, Abiy Ahmed and Shimelis Abdissa remain shamefully silent. From orchestrated ethnic tension to psychological fear-mongering, the regime is using Moyale as a pawn not only to manage narratives but also to cling to power ahead of the 2026 elections. But the Oromo people are no longer fooled. The betrayal is exposed. And Oromia is no longer silent.

What the Oromo Dialogue Online Tells Us About Missed Opportunities, Unity, and the Fight for Identity
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-07-202025-07-20

The Oromo Dialogue held online yesterday [Saturday, 19 July] exposed deep cracks in strategy and unity, highlighting how obvious solutions—like backing the OLA—were sidelined. As Oromo identity erasure intensifies under the current regime, the Oromo Discussion must mark a turning point, not just a reflection. Will words become action before history closes the window?

Parliament’s Deafening Silence—Again: An Update
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-07-032025-07-03

Coincidentally, today marked the 42nd Regular Session of the House of Representatives (HoR) of the Ethiopian Parliament—a moment that could have restored a fragment of public trust. The Prime Minister himself was in attendance, taking the floor for what was billed as a Q&A with representatives. And still, not a single mention of Obbo Taye Danda’a Aredo. Not a question. Not a follow-up. Not even a passing reference.

Parliamentary Silence and Collective Cowardice: Shame on Ethiopia’s Parliament and Caffee Oromia for Enabling Atrocity
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-07-022025-07-02

Obbo Taye Danda’a’s explosive revelations of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, and state-orchestrated atrocities demanded immediate action. Yet the loudest response was parliamentary silence. Neither Caffee Oromia nor the Federal Parliament uttered a word. In a functioning democracy, such truths would bring down governments. In Ethiopia today, complicity is worn like a uniform. This silence is not caution—it is betrayal.

What Is Humanity If Even the Faarseebulaas Mock the Truth?
By Kumaa Daadhii Posted on2025-06-292025-06-29

Empires and regimes fall. Tyrants vanish. And when the reckoning comes, Betelhem Tafese and the Faarseebulaas will face the truth they mocked. Will they eat back the contemptuous lies they vomit today against the truth-tellers, freedom fighters, and human rights activists? No regime built on deception, gaslighting, and blood can last — especially one that feeds starving people fairy tales and street-light shows.

Daniel Kibret’s Delusional Word Games for Unitarismሕብረ ብሔራዊ as Orwellian Camouflage of a Unitary Ethiopia
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-162025-06-16

Daniel Kibret, the Prosperity Party’s unofficial wordsmith and controversial advisor, is once again at the center of a linguistic smokescreen. His latest catchphrase, ሕብረ ብሔራዊ—translated as Multi-National or Co-National—is a rhetorical tool designed to mask the regime’s assault on Multinational Federalism. With a history of inflammatory speech and ideological spin, Daniel Kibret’s language games now signal a dangerous return to unitarism.

Sleepwalking into the Tyranny of GeographyHow Political Delusion and Imperial Nostalgia Are Unmaking a Fragile Federation
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-132025-06-12

Ethiopia is sleepwalking into a terminal fracture. The death of Multinational Federalism isn't just a political misstep—it is the undoing of a hard-won peace among diverse nations. This is not alarmism. It is a wake-up call to citizens and politicians alike: the state is being reshaped by unchecked delusion, and the red line is rapidly disappearing. If we don’t stop now, we may not stop at all.

Jimma University Owes the Public an ApologyA Rebuttal to the Mischaracterization of Multinational Federalism in Ethiopia
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-092025-06-07
1 Comment

This rebuttal challenges the grossly biased and inflammatory article authored by Mr. Girma A. Demeke of Jimma University, which is scheduled for publication in the Journal of African and Asian Studies (JAAL), Volume 14, Issue 2. Masquerading as scholarly analysis, the article deploys ideologically loaded language such as "ethnic politics" and "scourge" to delegitimize Ethiopia’s constitutional Multinational Federalism. It presents a dangerous, neo-colonial narrative that pathologizes the legitimate political aspirations of oppressed nations, nationalities, and peoples. This response calls upon Jimma University to issue a public apology for enabling the dissemination of such divisive and academically indefensible content through its faculty.

The Death of Federalism by AgendaEthiopia's Drift Toward Imperial Revivalism
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-062025-06-05

Federalism in Ethiopia is under existential threat. What was once a constitutional promise of self-rule and cultural dignity is now being dismantled under the guise of reform. The regime’s recent agenda, advanced through a highly questionable commission, signals a retreat to imperial centralism. This is not just a political maneuver—it is a fundamental negation of the federalism millions fought for and continue to defend.

Hacaaluu Hundeessa: A Loss That Shook the Soul of a Nation
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-06-012025-05-30

Hacaaluu Hundeessa was not merely a musician. He was a living embodiment of Oromo hope and pride. Through his songs, he articulated the unspoken grief of generations, gave rhythm to the resistance, and sang dignity into identity. His artistry was more than melody—it was a medium of healing and awakening. We see now that his voice became part of the Oromo self, internalized by millions. His music didn’t just narrate life; it narrated their life.

The Habesha Axis and the Horn's Tipping PointThe Case for Empowering the Oromo for Regional Stability
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-292025-05-29
1 Comment

The emerging Habesha Axis—an uneasy alignment of Amhara, Tigray, and Eritrean elites—reveals a deeper truth: historic rivals will unite to suppress Oromo political empowerment. Despite decades of hostility, these actors find common cause in opposing self-determination for Oromia. This convergence is not about unity, but about preserving an old imperial center. Naming it for what it is, the article argues that it is crucial to understanding why Ethiopia’s future hinges on justice for the Oromo and Oromia.

Amhara Fano's Expansionist Vein Disguised as PeaceA Comparative Reading of Responses to the U.S. Call for Negotiation
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-282025-05-27

Amhara Fano’s response to the U.S. call for negotiation reveals an expansionist agenda cloaked in grievance. Their demand to “return” disputed regions like Wolkait and Raya signals territorial revisionism. In contrast, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) emphasizes accountability and genuine dialogue. As journalist Sajid Nadeem noted in his May 24 podcast, Fano’s maximalist tone risks undermining peace. Negotiation must be rooted in inclusivity—not in reclaiming imperial boundaries through the language of justice.

A Cry for Justice: Save Oromo Refugees Trapped in Saudi Detention
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-252025-05-25

Oromo refugees in Saudi Arabia are enduring appalling conditions—crammed in overcrowded cells, denied proper food, medicine, and justice. Most are victims of human trafficking, not criminals. Some now face execution on fabricated charges, while the Ethiopian embassy remains shamefully silent. The world must act before more lives are lost.
