    Parliamentary Silence and Collective Cowardice: Shame on Ethiopia’s Parliament and Caffee Oromia for Enabling Atrocity

    ByOT 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.

    The Amhara Elite Racist Worldview: Collective Unconscious and Historical Hegemony

    ByTuraa Jaarsoo Posted on2025-06-272025-06-27

    Excerpt This article examines the enduring racist worldview propagated by sections of the Amhara political elite in Ethiopia, with specific reference to a recent video conference led by Professor Getachew Begashaw. It explores how dehumanizing ethnic slurs, territorial revisionism, and historical denialism reflect a psychological phenomenon best understood through Carl Jung’s concept of the Collective…

    Amhara Fano's Expansionist Vein Disguised as PeaceA Comparative Reading of Responses to the U.S. Call for Negotiation

    ByOT 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.

    Clapping for Lies in Ethiopian Politics: A Reckoning for Ethiopia's Belly-Politicians

    ByOT 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

    ByOT 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.

    ByOT 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

    ByOT 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…

    ByAbbaa Gaatoo Posted on2025-04-292025-04-29

    Preview: A Revolutionary Spirit in Question Once the fearless voice of Oromo freedom, now sounding like a Prosperity Party (PP) loyalist? Jawar Mohammed’s latest interview on Kush Media Network (KMN) left many shocked — and some wondering: Has the revolutionary spirit faded, or is there a bigger game at play?

    The Systematic Dispossession of Oromia: Language Status Denied, Lands Mythologized and Engineered, Names Rewritten, and a Mountain Nearly Claimed

    ByOlii Boran (Sociologist) and Ed Chapman (Digital Forensics Researcher) Posted on2025-04-012025-03-31

     An Article by Invitation Introduction In the age of satellites, algorithms, and global awareness, one might assume that cultural denial has no place left to hide. And yet, Ethiopia—a multinational entity whose sociopolitical structure still bears the hallmarks of an unreconciled empire—continues to find creative ways to deny the Oromo people what is clearly, obviously,…

    A New Abyssinian Alliance in the Making and What it Means for Oromia

    ByOlii Boran Posted on2025-03-192025-03-19

    Excerpt: The crisis of Oromia can be summed up in a single, stark sentence: Oromia’s greatest hazard is its own wealth. The sheer abundance of its resources has drawn in competing forces, each vying for control. This relentless scramble has made the realization of Oromia’s self-determination—a cause championed for decades—an even more daunting challenge. Today,…

    ByStaff Editor Posted on2025-02-262025-04-15

    Public office is not a playground for personal arrogance, nor is it a stage for hurling insults at those with differing perspectives. It is, above all, a responsibility—a duty to conduct oneself with dignity, reason, and respect. Obbo Hailu Adunya, the spokesperson of the Oromia Regional Administration, seems to have missed this fundamental truth in…

    Urbanizing the People, the Land, and the Government: A Bold Statement by Shimelis Abdissa

    ByRoobaa Hawwaas Posted on2025-02-222025-04-15

    Introduction Shimelis Abdissa, the President of Oromia, has introduced a new term—possibly a novel entry into the Afan Oromo lexicon—magaalomsuu, derived from magaalaa, meaning town. The term magaalomsuu is intended to mean “to urbanize,” and it resonates deeply in the context of Oromia’s rural-urban divide with strong socio-political connotations. He further stated, “Waan sadii magaalomuu…

    Why Is No One Talking About the Dissolution of the Ethiopian Empire?

    ByYadessa Guma Posted on2025-02-202025-02-25

    The Elephant in the Room The Ethiopian Empire, as it stands today, is a product of the late 19th century “Scramble for Africa,” when European colonial powers carved up the continent among themselves. Unlike most African countries, Ethiopia managed to resist outright European colonization. However, its imperial formation under Emperor Menelik II followed a similar…

    The Unshakable Truth: Finfinnee is an Oromo City

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-02-182025-02-28

    Ignorance is our enemy. When we are devoid of facts and logic, all we have is raw emotion. Emotion alone won’t do it. Rewriting fake history, like the fabricated narrative of Barara, won’t change reality. No amount of rhetorical flourish can override the weight of facts. And the fact of the matter is this: Finfinnee…

    The Futility of Denial: How Historical Revisionism Undermines Inter-Ethnic Cohesion in Ethiopia

    ByElemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-02-172025-02-20

    Excerpt Historical revisionism is no mere academic exercise—it is a powerful political tool that shapes memory, identity, and power. In Ethiopia’s modern politics, the deliberate use of imperial-era place names like “Nazareth” instead of “Adama” signals a deeper resistance to Oromo identity restoration. This article explores how such symbolic acts, like Dr. Desalegn Chanie’s recent…
