Ambo: Cruelty in Plain Sight — Violence, Impunity, and the Political Crisis in Oromia
By Yadessa Guma (PhD, Anthropology) Posted on2026-04-162026-04-16
In Ambo, a shocking act of violence against young adults exposes more than individual cruelty—it reveals a growing pattern of impunity and normalized abuse across Oromia. What appears as a single incident reflects a deeper crisis, where violence is increasingly visible, accountability is absent, and fear is woven into daily life.

To Shimelis Abdissa and Caffee Oromia: History Will Judge You for a Shameful Failure of Duty
By OT Editorial Posted on2026-03-172026-03-17
A disturbing video circulating on social media—showing an elderly man brutally beaten during a militia interrogation—captures, in a single frame, the depth of Oromia’s moral collapse since 2018.

Medemer will not be remembered by its promises but by its consequences. Branded as a "doctrine" of unity, Medemer instead presided over spectacle development confined to the capital, permanent war governance, economic unraveling, normalized brutality, and systematic evictions of central Oromia. The glitter of street lights masked structural collapse, while fear became an instrument of rule. History is likely to record Medemer not as "addition", but as "subtraction"—of lives, trust, justice, and peoples' unrealized potential.

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.
