    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-272025-05-26

    You were not born to be bowed. You were born to rise. In politics, society, and your own mind—never let anyone write your story in your silence. Assert your rights boldly, for the dignity of your people and the clarity of your truth.

    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.

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-242025-05-24

    The Indigenous Oromo remain deeply impoverished despite living on some of the most fertile land in Ethiopia. This article unpacks how systemic exclusion, political betrayal, and false narratives like “Baale Giize” continue to marginalize the Indigenous Oromo while others prosper at their expense.

    When Public Funds Become Private Fortunes: Why Misusing Public Money Must Be a High Crime

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-202025-05-19

    While millions of Ethiopians suffer without basic services, the regime's ruling elite continue to exploit public funds as if they were private fortunes. Lavish lifestyles, overseas treatments, fleets of gas-guzzling SUVs — all financed at the people's expense. This article exposes the mechanisms of corruption, proposes a framework for restitution, and issues a warning: there will be no sunset clause for the theft of public funds.

    How Ethiopia's Regime Is Squandering Billions It Cannot Afford to Cling to PowerCyber Trolls—The Regime’s Costly Propaganda Warfare

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-182025-05-18

    Excerpt: Ethiopia is now well known for squandering billions on trivial projects while the citizens in millions are hurting. The regime pays cyber trolls more than doctors — perhaps at a ten-to-one ratio — builds palaces while hospitals collapse, and fights dissent harder than it fights poverty. This is an empire betrayed from within. Ethiopia...

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-172025-05-17

    Ethiopia’s parliament has become a theatre of false applause, where belly-politicians betray their people by clapping for lies in Ethiopian politics.

    An Open Letter to the Caffee Oromia: Fulfill Your Sacred Mandate

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-152025-04-29

    An Open Letter to the Caffee Oromia: This is a plea wrapped in pain and principle. As the Oromo people endure loss, disillusionment, and unanswered sacrifices, the silence of their elected house grows louder. This letter calls on Caffee Oromia to rise — not just as an institution, but as a conscience.

    A Coward's Policy in Oromia: The Maize Ban That Threatens Food Security

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-152025-05-13

    When maize becomes a threat and feeding your people a crime, governance has failed not only in courage—but in conscience. The senseless maize ban just imposed across Oromia’s Rift Valley belt is yet another tragic episode of hapless leadership—one that shuns dialogue in favor of desperate, random firefighting, even if it means starving its own population in the months ahead.

    Haile Selassie’s Chilling Assimilation Blueprint of 1933 for the Oromo: When ‘Unity’ Meant Erasure

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-072025-05-07

    Excerpt This article unveils the Chilling Assimilation Blueprint of 1933 for the Oromo people, a calculatedly policy framework of Haile Selassie's regime. Drawing from historical documents and translated accounts, it exposes how forced identity erasure was justified in the name of "national unity". Far from being a relic of the past, the blueprint reveals patterns...

    Legal Path to Further Oromo Dispossession? The Oromo People Must Reject the Draft Property Ownership Proclamation

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-05-022025-05-02
    2 Comments

    Excerpt: A dangerous new draft law in Ethiopia threatens to legalize a deeper level of Oromo dispossession by allowing foreign nationals to own immovable property—including ancestral lands in Oromia. More than just an economic shift, this proposed legislation risks permanently severing the Oromo people from their land, culture, and identity. What’s at stake is not...

    Prefer listening? Play the audio of full article. The Tranquil Indigenous People Before colonization and forced annexation, indigenous peoples thrived across the globe — civilizations, cultures, and ways of life intricately woven with their environments over thousands of years.

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-04-232025-04-23

    “That is what prosperity looks like,” boasts a Prosperity Party (PP) regime loyalist in his Facebook repost, proudly sharing a photo announcing a $7.8 billion agreement between Ethiopian Airlines and the African Development Bank to build Africa’s largest airport in Abuu Seeraa, near Bishoftu town in Oromia. A gleaming model aircraft in the hands of...

    The Politics of Easter Charity: Propaganda Dressed as Pity

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-04-192025-04-19

    The sickening propaganda machine of the Prosperity Party (PP) regime has reached a new low—one that defeats description, but not scrutiny. This Easter weekend, one of the holiest in the Ethiopian calendar, the Mayor of Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) and the Prime Minister himself embarked on a public relations roadshow. The show? Distributing cooking oil—and yes,...

    When Even Death Commands No Dignity: Ethiopia's Moral Decay

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-04-192025-04-29

    There are moments that sear themselves into the soul—not because of their scale, but because of the depth of their inhumanity. Ethiopia never ceases to amaze—but with inhumanity. We've witnessed people burned alive, skinned while breathing, severed heads paraded on spikes.   And now, as if in a grim sequel to past shock treatments, we...

    April the 15th This day stands etched in the Oromo conscience as a day of solemn remembrance and unwavering pride.

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-04-102025-04-10

    A year has passed since we lost one of Oromia’s brightest sons, Jaal Battee Urgeessaa—an icon of peaceful resistance, a visionary political leader, and a man whose gentle strength made him both beloved and formidable. His assassination on this day, on the Ramadan festive day last year, was not only a devastating loss to his...
