    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.

    Amorelite: An Illuminating Word We Didn't Know We Needed

    By Malkkaa Beenyaa (MA, Social Psychologist) Posted on2025-05-102025-05-09

    An Essay by Invitation Excerpt The rise of the Amorelite — a corrupt, conscience-free elite class — is not just a sign of decay in Ethiopia and Oromia; it is the disease itself. This essay names and frames the unspoken social affliction eating away at power, ethics, and humanity. Read it. Name it. Confront it....

    Excerpt: When intellectualism aligns with power instead of truth, it risks becoming a refined tool of domination. This reflection challenges the legacy of Ethiopian academia and calls for a return to ethical, justice-driven scholarship. Introduction Throughout history, intellectuals have often served as society's conscience—interpreters of truth, critics of power, and illuminators of the human condition....

    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 Drawing from historical documents and translated accounts, it exposes how forced identity erasure was justified in the name of "national unity".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...

    Jawar Mohammed: From Oromo Icon to PP Sympathizer?

    By Abbaa 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? Read below the full reflection...

    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. They were not waiting to be "discovered"; they were living fully, imagining, governing, trading, and sustaining...

    “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...

    When Lawmakers Fan Dangerous Flames: The Case of Dr Sisay Mengiste

    By Olii Boran Posted on2025-04-182025-04-18

    Questions for Troubling Rhetoric Where does freedom of speech end, and the incitement of dangerous, ethnically charged propaganda begin? At what point does public discourse shift from a right to speak one’s mind into a reckless abuse of influence—especially when the speaker holds public office in a fragile, multi-ethnic society? These are not abstract questions....

    When Falsehoods Wear Fancy Fonts: The Absurdity of Manufactured Maps

    By Elemoo Qilxuu Posted on2025-04-172025-04-17

    There’s something truly ironic about attempts to rewrite history—how they often stumble on the very tools they try to wield. A case in point: a laughable “13th-century map of Abyssinia” now making the rounds. A single glance at its slick, pixel-perfect typography and digitally crisp outlines is enough to raise eyebrows. We are expected to...

    When Language Colonizes: The Amharic Illusion of Progress

    By Kumaa Daadhii Posted on2025-04-132025-04-13

    When Language Colonizes In the landscape of African colonization, one recurring justification for conquest and domination has been the civilizing mission—carried out not just through force, but through language. From the French mission civilisatrice to the British insistence on "English education," colonizers offered language as a "gift"—while using it as a tool of control. In...
