After massacring tens of thousands, after torturing and imprisoning hundreds of thousands, after displacing hundreds from their ancestral land, after subjecting hundreds of thousands to exile, death and destruction in the deserts and in the seas of the world, it declared a state of emergency for 6 months and is now poised to extend it.
The TPLF and its henchmen are using the state of emergency to legitimize the blatant human rights violation and genocide that they have been committing over the last 25 years. The state of emergency is one of the straws they are hanging to in order to save their power from demise.
What we need to realize is that the TPLF fascists will do anything to stay in power. The state of emergency not being enough for them, they keep pulling tricks from their rotten rears. The one trick they are now using is to deploy mercenaries that they have created from among neighboring peoples with Oromia.
A case in point is the genocide that they are committing against the Oromo people using the Ogadeni Somali LIyu Police. As we know, the TPLF has been committing unparalleled crimes against the people of Ogaden and it sees them as its enemies. However, by using the people who live for the day, like the ‘president’ of the Somali region, it has managed to use the Somalis against the Oromo people. What these people have not realized is that, the TPLF by doing this achieves not only the goal of silencing the Oromo quest for freedom, but also the goal of silencing the quest of the Ogadeni Somalis for their God given human rights and freedom. Hence by making the two people kill each other, they achieve both goals.
These stupid and ignorant so called Liyu Police must be told that instead of fighting the peaceful people of Oromo with whom the people of Ogaden lived in peace for generations, they have to turn their guns against the TPLF that is massacring and torturing their own people.
The heroic people of Oromo have now chosen to die fighting than die kneeling for these bunch of idiots. Though the causalities that we hear every day are heart breaking and unnerving, Oromos in Harar, Borana, Gujii, Balee, and Arsi as the rest of the Oromo people have shown their unparalleled heroism like their forefathers beating a force that is armed to its teeth. Imagine what would have happened if Oromos had access to guns and weapons like the coward TPLF and its stooges. That is why they have lost sleep over the possibility of Oromos arming themselves for the last 25 years and still restlessly working on this to ensure Oromos are disarmed.
The need for paradigm shift – To allow the ongoing slaughter of our people in the name of peaceful struggle can result in a full fledged genocide and loss of the victories they have so far achieved

By Olaanaa Saboonaa This is a note to update the following article that was posted few months ago. This article is reposted as a reminder that we have to seriously work on organizing a civil defense force of our people if we want us to survive as a nation. The TPLF fascists have confirmed time … Continue reading
Proposal for path forward:
Our people on the border areas are being killed and displaced every day. All Oromos have to come to their rescue and beat the so called Liyu police and the Agazi forces.
By this time we all know that access to get arms from neighboring countries has been blocked. Hence, we need to diligently work on confiscating whatever is available from the enemy and its garrisons and depots to arm our people.
If there is a way, we need to coordinate the armed struggle with ONLF opening a much stronger front from the east to start by blowing up the Palace of the Somali region’s so called president who serves the interest of the Tigre generals. As we know this man is responsible for the death and destruction of hundreds and thousands of Ogadenis and now Oromos under the order of the TPLF generals.
Conduct a much stronger diplomatic and information campaign to let the Somalis know that they are committing a historic mistake by being part of the genocide committed against the Oromo people.
The rest of the Oromo people as they did for over a year will have to continue to fight and dismantle the institutions and the economic pillars of TPLF.
In doing so, the Oromo people have to be able to coordinate their struggle with the rest of the oppressed people of Ethiopia.
As they have come to our land to kill us and displace us, Oromos and other oppressed people of Ethiopia must also work to start fire in the back yard of the TPLF in Tigrai and its neighboring areas.
- We need to work with all the people around and in Tigrai to never give them peace.
- We need to work with the Oromo people of Raya and Azebo.
- Empower the Oromo people in Wolo and start the fight.
- Coordinate the all encompassing struggle with the people of Afar.
- Work with the Oppressed Amhara people in Gondar, Gojam and surrounding areas to uproot TPLF forever.
Oromo struggle has to be coordinated with the oppressed people of the South
We need to know that the TPLF’s next step is to instigate the fight against our people using the people of the South.
The struggle from the center in all its forms has to continue
Dismantling its economic infrastructure, spy agents and armed forces has to continue in a coordinated manner including at its heart in Finfinee.
Working to dismantle fascist TPLF’s spy agency and armed forces should be a task of priority
All means available should be used to teach members of the army and spy agencies that history will judge them by what they do now. They must be told that it is time turn their guns against the TPLF fascists that plots every second of its existence to divide and massacre the citizens of the country. They must be told that the minimum that is expected is to never turn their guns against their own people and the proper thing to do for them is to stand beside the people and get rid of the TPLF and its stooges to create peace for all.
The unity of the Oromo people proven with blood in their struggle for their God given rights has become a beacon of hope for all freedom loving people. Their struggle has served as a role model to wake up the rest of the oppressed people of Ethiopia. Their unparalleled heroism and sacrifice has brought a deadly enemy to the verge of collapse. But this enemy will never give up until its last breath. The remedy for this is to continue with the unity they have built and shown the whole world and push TPLF to its grave where it will never wake up.
Oromos in the Diaspora will have to continue to let the world know about what is taking place against our people. Blunt genocide is taking place before our eyes. There should be no rest until we stop and take these fascists to their graves.
The owners and the makers of history are mainly Oromos at home who are living the misery and paying sacrifices to protect the survival and dignity of our people. Nonetheless, the Diaspora can still play a great role as it did before, to enable our heroes at home.
The Diaspora has a historic role to let the world know about what is happening and help stop the financial and diplomatic support the TPLF is getting.
The Diaspora also can play a significant role in strengthening the unity of our people and their leaders.
As the TPLF and its stooges never sleep and lose a chance to stifle our voices, we need to continue to work and fight tirelessly to throw it to its final grave to build peace, prosperity, democracy, freedom and stability for all.
