    The Policy of Lying: How Power Is Sustained by Fabrication

    By Elemoo Qilxuu (MA, Political Science) and Roobaa Hawaas (MA, Psychology) Posted on2026-02-062026-02-05

    Ethiopia has crossed a moral and political threshold. Lying is no longer an occasional deviation but a governing method. From the fabricated pretext of the Tigray war to the attempted rewriting of Eritrea’s role—publicly rebutted by Gedu Andargachew—the pattern is unmistakable.

This is not political spin; it is rule by fabrication.

    Parliament’s Deafening Silence—Again: An Update

    By OT Editorial Posted on2025-07-032025-07-03

    Coincidentally, today marked the 42nd Regular Session of the House of Representatives (HoR) of the Ethiopian Parliament—a moment that could have restored a fragment of public trust.

Not a follow-up. Not even a passing reference.

    What Is Humanity If Even the Faarseebulaas Mock the Truth?

    By Kumaa Daadhii Posted on2025-06-292025-06-29

    Empires and regimes fall. Tyrants vanish. And when the reckoning comes, Betelhem Tafese and the Faarseebulaas will face the truth they mocked. Will they eat back the contemptuous lies they vomit today against the truth-tellers, freedom fighters, and human rights activists? No regime built on deception, gaslighting, and blood can last — especially one that feeds starving people fairy tales and street-light shows.

    The Obbo Taye Danda'a Aredo interviews offer a rare, unfiltered look into the inner workings of Ethiopia’s federal government and the Oromia regional administration. From personal persecution to state-sanctioned cruelty, Obbo Taye’s revelations expose chilling truths about power, war, and control. This series examines five key themes drawn from his testimony—beginning with his harrowing prison experience. His voice is not just brave; it is a call to collective reckoning.
