When Dirre Dhawa Becomes a Claim — And Truth Becomes a Weapon
By Elemoo Qilxuu (MA, Political Science) Posted on2025-11-042025-11-04
A recent viral clip shows a young Somali man boldly claiming Dirre Dhawa as Somali land — a moment that might seem laughable if it didn’t reflect a deeper anxiety and the politics of manufactured bravado. His claim coincides with PM Abiy Ahmed’s sudden “truth-telling” about Dirre Dhawa’s constitutional limbo — a convenient revelation used to frame Ethiopia’s port hunger and revive irredentist narratives disguised as historical correction.

Why Abiy Ahmed and the Ethiopian Federal Regime Still Reluctant to Declare Amhara Fano a Terrorist Organization?
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-10-242025-10-24
Why has Abiy Ahmed’s regime never declared Amhara Fano a terrorist organization while branding the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) without sufficient evidence? This is not hypocrisy—it is moral perversion. Amhara Fano’s massacres across Oromia are met with silence, exposing a regime that outsources genocide by proxy and hides behind the camouflage of selective justice and political convenience.

The Noonnoo Massacre: A Shame That Stains Oromia and Ethiopia Alike
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-10-202025-10-21
1 Comment
The Noonnoo massacre has once again exposed the moral decay within Oromia’s political leadership and Ethiopia’s federal establishment. When 27 innocent lives — mostly children and the elderly — are slaughtered, yet no voice of outrage rises from those sworn to defend the people, silence becomes complicity. The tragedy is not just the massacre itself, but the cancerous indifference of leaders who have traded conscience for comfort and turned Oromia’s pain into background noise.

A Reactor in a Tinderbox: Why Ethiopia’s Nuclear Ambition Demands Global Scrutiny
By Biqila Bariso (PhD, Physics; MSc, Cognitive Sci.) Posted on2025-09-282025-09-28

Ethiopia’s push for nuclear power station is less about energy need than regime vanity, pursued by a leader who weaponize conflict, neglect citizens, and disregard safety. With a record of atrocities, proxy wars, and environmental neglect, entrusting such a volatile state with nuclear materials risks catastrophe not just for Ethiopia, but for the entire region.

The Happy Tears of One, the Anguished Tears of Thousands
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-09-092025-09-09
Ethiopia today elevates the happy tears of an autocratic ruler above the anguished tears of thousands. As Oromia bleeds from years of massacres, displacement, and proxy wars, state media buries the truth — while in grotesque contrast, the ruler’s tears of joy receive wall-to-wall coverage. History warns us: ignored anguish always erupts into tragedy. The world must act now, before Oromia’s tears ignite into an irreversible fire.

A Time Bomb Buried in Oromia and Somali RegionThe Dangerous Games of Ethiopia's Prosperity Party Regime
By OT Editorial Posted on2025-08-272025-08-27
The Prosperity Party regime of Ethiopia is playing a reckless game, redrawing boundaries and fuelling discord between Oromo and Somali peoples. History teaches us that injustice planted today never stays buried—it grows into resistance. Only the wisdom of brotherly nations, a united diaspora, and responsible foreign actors can defuse this potential time bomb before it explodes.

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.

10 Compelling Reasons Shimelis Abdissa Is Not Effectively Governing Oromia
By Editorial Team Posted on2025-07-302025-07-29
1 Comment
Shimelis Abdissa, nominally President of Oromia, has become emblematic of absentee leadership and quiet complicity in the face of tragedy, dispossession, and systemic betrayal. From his silence during national mourning to his role in dismantling Oromia’s autonomy and impoverishing its people, Shimelis serves not the Oromo nation but the pro unitary Ethiopia Prosperity Party (PP) regime. While we could come up with scores of reasons, for brevity and to get this to print, we chose 10 items that speak volumes.

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.

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...
