news report
 Wednesday December 18, 2002 16:21 by Abiyu P'ak'alo - Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) Occupied Oromiya
 The Ethiopian regime, led by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), is committing acts of genocide against the Oromo people to forcibly suppress their demand for self-determination. The Oromo people in Ethiopia currently number over 30 million. Before Ethiopia colonized them, the Oromo people had their own Gada State—an indigenous African polity. In the Gada government, the Oromo people elected their leaders for an eight-year term of office. The Oromo people's distinct cultural, social, and linguistic identity has survived multifaceted continuous oppression by successive Ethiopian regimes for the last 105 years. The current Ethiopian regime has resorted to grave violations of human rights to suppress the Oromo people's demand for national self-determination. Billions of bilateral and multilateral aid provided by world powers and international finance institutions has been used by the regime to build and maintain institutions of violence against the Oromo people.The Ethiopian political elite, aided and abetted by its international supporters, has perpetuated its domination over the much larger Oromo people by maintaining different forms of autocratic regimes. Ethiopia has always remained an autocratic state without any democratic tradition. The Oromo people have never been admitted into Ethiopian political process to change their dependent position. Despite billions of dollars pouring into Ethiopia, the basic and fundamental rights of the Oromo people to be free from abject poverty and constant hunger is not at all respected. According to the Country Watch organization report 2000, Ethiopia is ranking 104th out of the 108 country ranking in Human Development Index. The most crucial disaster the Oromo people are facing today is the deadly disease, AIDS. According to the Oromo Support Group (OSG), an independent human rights group established in the UK by human rights activists interested in following violations of Oromo human rights, over 2,592 extra-judicial killings and 838 "disappearances" of civilians were reported from 1992-1999. Most of these are suspected of supporting the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), an Oromo political resistance organization. The Ethiopian regime is engaged in systematic destruction of Oromo social fabric and vital natural resources. The Oromo people have the right of self-determination that is recognized as a basic human right by Articles 1 (1) of the two Covenants of International Bill of Human Rights. Article 1(1) provides that, "All peoples have the right of self-determination. The Oromo people's right to freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development is just and legitimate, because the people's social, cultural, political, national sovereignty and other distinct identities have been violated by a foreign aggressor in a war of conquest. The OLF holds that the Oromo people's demand for self-determination is not an internal affair of the Ethiopian state. The Oromo people do not consider themselves ethnic Ethiopians. The Oromo people who are asserting their right of self-determination demand total emancipation—decolonization—to freely decide whether to associate or integrate with another state, or whether to declare national independence. Successive Ethiopian regimes have used force to suppress the Oromo people's legitimate demand to exercise their right of self-determination. The action of the regimes contravenes the UN Charter that bans the use of force by member states in international dispute, including dispute regarding the claim of self-determination by dependent peoples. Moreover, there is an international duty imposed on states to refrain from giving military or economic assistance to powers forcibly denying self-determination to dependent peoples. The right of self-determination is an exceptionally significant human right, because it is the synthesis of individual human rights. Enjoyment of individual rights presupposes the realization of self-determination. While the right of the Oromo people is violated, individual Oromos cannot be really free to exercise their basic rights and freedoms. Denial of the right of self-determination has become the root-cause of violations of rights of individual members of the Oromo society. International human rights groups who observe and report violations of human rights of Oromo individuals have to realize the evident linkage between forcible denial of the collective right of the Oromo people and the pervasive violations of human rights of individual Oromos. The Ethiopian political elite seek a democratic process that allows them to compete for control of the political power of the country. The elite uses the Oromo people as not having any inherent right of determining their own political destiny. They want to impose on the Oromo people the view that practically equates the right of self-determination with democratization of Ethiopia. The attitude of the international community that ignores the plight of the Oromo people is inconsistent with the principle declared by UN Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, Austria, in June 1993 that says all human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and inter-related. The UN Human Rights Commissioner has recently called upon the international community to ensure equality of treatment in the protection of civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights. Peaceful resolution of the Oromo people’s demand for self-determination cannot be achieved as long as Ethiopia remains under an iron fist of its autocratic rulers. We hope a democratic political force may emerge from Ethiopian political elite to be willing to enter into a genuine dialogue with the OLF and other Oromo political forces without imposing as a precondition acceptance of Ethiopia's sovereignty over the Oromo people. Vigilant involvement by human rights activists is required to save the Oromo people from genocide. The Oromo people are subjected to acts of genocide for demanding their right of self-determination that is their collective human right. The principle that all categories of human rights are indivisible elements of human security and development must be respected and promoted for the Oromo people. Specifically, the following is solicited: Support and advocate a special investigation of the pattern of grave violations of human rights aimed at destruction of the Oromo people; |

Ray, you are so stupid, and by reading what you post I have come to the conclusion that you are fascist, since you pretend indy-users to follow YOUR rules, like a dictator, and you don't care about the story they post and the tragedies that they report. As far as I can think, you might also work for the intelligence.
Thank you so much for remembering the forgotten Oromos. Keep exposing the destructive and genocidal acts of the Ethiopian regime against the Oromo mass. Thank you again for being loud voice for the voiceless and oppressed Oromo mass.
I'm tempted to argue that you obviously don't, but maybe its all a cunning ploy...
(btw, I don't even delete copied articles, let alone round up the posters into concentration camps and kill them, so I think 'fascist' is just a teensy bit extreme)
Dear Ray,
the article above was posted by people who wanted to highlight an awful situation, where human rights are almost unknown, where people die daily, and their deaths are unreported.
the victims of such massacres deserve more than
the comment you posted:
"Please - if theres an article somewhere you think should be published on here, write a summary and post a link. Indymedia is for original news."
While you play the funny game "I'm the ruler of the Indymedia", the news above are not a joke.
Your comment sounds fascist because the article reports a human tragedy and all that you can type are words which aim at critisizing the way they posted the article, ignoring completely the human aspect.
This is a behaviour that I consider fascist.
To be honest I also called you fascist to have a reply from you.
For me the news is original.
I cannot spend time looking for hundreds of websites on the internet to get a piece of decent news, and this is why I read the Indymedia website.
I praise the person who posted that article, the ogoni people are never news, Indymedia, which is us, should be honoured to have such news in the newswire.
Dear Ray I would advice you to have a look at the other indymedia, the italian one in particular, they are doing agreat job there.
They post news from the mainstream media as well as other media, no one has ever critisized postings like you do, and that is a media that for what they publish has been under a huge pressure.
Your comment was:
"Please - if theres an article somewhere you think should be published on here, write a summary and post a link. Indymedia is for original news."
The ogoni people deserve more then such comments.
In my previous posting Icalled the oromo people Ogoni, I'm sorry and I apologise.
The whole Ethiopian people are suffering since the inception of the so called government.
Why you gays are always underline the oromo suffering only? It is rediculus you never learn forever. The Oromo Elits are victmizing the oromo people by separating the problem of the Oromos from the rest of Ethiopian brothers and sisters. Stop that! And stand up for all.
Why you are sayin the Oromo, the Oromo again and again?
There is aan Oromo Language, no the so called Ormo people. The oromo peole intentions is to strugle with thier Ethiopian brothers and siters. Pleas leave them with thier ethiopianes please dont mix also politics and religion and expose to the world as a terreris part of ethnic group. I hope learn as this century.
One of the driving forces behind the the narrow and short-sighted tactic of the OLF is the Eritean influence. The failed "Eritreanism"
The "Eritrean Dream" remained a dream and they want to use any means necessary to satisfy their fantacy. Currently, they are fully engaged in using the Oromo card. The Oromo people are
well aware of their rights and isues but the means of struggle will never separate them fromthe other opressed Ethiopians. The riggid Oromo elit should come to its senses and liberate itself from the desperate Eritrean regim and the
destructive manipulation of the Oromo People's plight.

And there's no reason why a link with a short summary can't direct you to read that article. Does the extra mouse click tire your poor wrist? What about the fact that you're degrading the indymedia experience for everyone else? Are you more important than me or Ray? There's a simple compromise here: write a summary with link.
--While you play the funny game "I'm the ruler of the Indymedia", the news above are not a joke.
Actually, he's just another user of indymedia *requesting* and *asking* that you try and co-operate with him and other users. I second his request for posting a summary and a link. Here are the reasons why this is a good idea:
1. Indymedia.ie has limited disk space. A link takes up a lot less space than an entire reproduction of an article.
2. A summary and a link helps people who (as YOU point out) have little time to read, decide whether or not the topic is something they're interested in: so you'd be doing people like you a favour if you wrote a summary.
3. Linking to the original article provides a credit to the site that originally put it up and presents it in context. It makes it easier to judge the article by providing more background information. Not linking to the original source robs the original author and publisher of credit.
4. Cut and paste frequently introduces errors. After several rounds of cut-and-paste a subtly but importantly mangled form of an article can be spread around the net: pretty annoying for the person that originally wrote it.
--Your comment sounds fascist because the article reports a human tragedy and all that you can type are words which aim at critisizing the way they posted the article, ignoring completely the human aspect.
This is a behaviour that I consider fascist.
Well, that's your own personal definition and it doesn't match up with most other peoples, so don't be surprised if you're not taken very seriously.
--To be honest I also called you fascist to have a reply from you.
There's usually no problem in getting a response from Ray! In fact his response is what has provoked your complaint. So you're not being honest. You're lying. If you want to discuss an issue then discuss the issue.

Black african American sceintific researcher, BoydGraves, has found that the Aids virus, was developed from the 1930's onwards, and manufactured as a biological warfare germ in US laboratories. He has submitted his findings, evidence including a flowchart to the UN, on the grounds that Aids is a manmade virus manufactured by the US in conjunction with white supremists, a virus that has the sole purpose of wiping out the poor, the lowest socioeconomic classes, africans, blacks, most of the poor of the third world, and the gay population. Aids specifically targets these vunerable populations. vunerable through poverty, poor hygiene and non existant health care practises. In the third world and africa, the Aids virus was given with routine Smallpox and Hep B vaccines, which is why so many africans are infected. With poor hygiene standards, few resources such as clean needles for routine vaccines and injections, is it any wonder the third world is suffering from an Aids epidemic. As early as 1981, the western world was alerted to the threat of Aids, and needle sharing for vaccines, blood transfusions and blood tests was discouraged. Whilst in the third world and Africa, vaccinations were still given with shared needles for whole villages and communities up untill recently and in some very poor countries vaccinations are still given using the same needle for whole communities. Africans need to unite to fight this manmade epidemic, and unite to protect themselves from greedy, selfish corporates and multinationals who are seeking to exploit the natural resources of Africa, but first in order to do this they must enslave and wipe out the black race forever. 'kill off the natives, and go there for vacations' Africans need to stand together against these evil men, not fight amongst each other for scraps off Mr Bossman's table. Africans need to know their enemy, it certainly isn't another equally oppressed african tribe.
It is understood that decolonization and self-determination within the context of the decolonization process applies to indigenous peoples and colonoized peoples. How do the Oromo present their argument to challenges that the Oromo are not indigenous to the territories that they currently claim as their homeland? Migrant majorities are not entitled to self determination within new territories. The maximum they can aspire for is democracy within the new territory that they have made their home.
These are serious and contentious issues that the Oromo people wuill be faced with.
Dear Brian Harper:
Don't you think endeginous depends on how you define the time period people lived there? Oromos have been in those places for more than 1000 years, and at least 600 years in some of the areas. And mind you it was not Amhara's land!!!! So Oromos of course are endeginous to their home land!! stop this bulls**t politics!
I would like to give you a simple advice; please use your brain not your muscle.
First of all, the person who posted the news is clearly a person who doesn't publish often.
When there are new people on the Indymedia, we should all be happy.
Happy because it means that the community is growing, I think people should be encouraged to publish, and unfortunately this is not happening on the irish Indymedia.
When the italian Indymedia was attacked after Genoa, they held a demo whose slogan was "be your media", meaning you can be a journalist too, we're here to publish your news.
The fact that Indymedia has a limited disk space, for me is less important that the news that are published.
On the mainstream press journalists are obliged to follow strict rules, they cannot write more than a certain number of columns etc.
If these rules apply to the irish Indymedia too, well, I don't see the reason why it should be existing.
Moreover there are already alternative papers in Ireland, and the their readers are surely more than the ones who read the news on this website.
The reason why the Indymedia exists is because it's different from papers, and it's open to anyone who wants to publish.
If the disk space is so limited, why isn't it clearly stated somewhere?
And also, if it is really so limited why isn't there a sort of form where only few people can register and publish news?
This would be the only way to ensure that the news that is published is limited, and it's published following strict rules.
Since these things don’t exist and are not even mentioned on this webside, I must come to the conclusion that the policy of the Indymedia has other purposes, and that the requests that Ray continuously makes are HIS OWN, and don't represent the rules that really apply to this website.
A link does certainly help for the reasons you listed above, and I personally do agree with that, but it is not stated anywhere on this website that it's compulsory, or at least advisable to refer to links.
The sort of rules that you have listed are well known only to frequent publishers, but on the Indymedia there are people who publish once a week, once a month, or even once a year, and they’re not too familiar with the website and with the false rules Ray wants everybody to follow, (since Ray continuously posts critics as if he wants to dictate his personal rules, as a dictator) and as I said before, in fact they are not mentioned anywhere on this website, and therefore all the points you make are only personal opinions or advices, that everyone is free to follow or not to follow.
The people who publish only once in a while are important to this website as much as you, me, Ray and the very small number of people who can publish every day.
Because unfortunately, not everyone can access the internet, every day, and I also think that the majority of the activists in Ireland do not access this website very often.
I am criticizing Ray because the comments he posts do not encourage people to publish, maybe this is not one of his worst comments, so I’d like you to have a look at the comments that Ray posted on the article below:
http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=20980&start=140
Here not only couldn’t Ray care less for the people of East Timor, but he questioned the very possibility for foreign people to publish on the irish website!!.
Isn’t this comment absurd if not racist??
He meant that people from other countries can only publish on their indymedia, but we all know that not all countries have it.
What if in a country ruled by a murderous regime, where there’s no alternative press, a rebel managed to access the internet and published some precious news on the irish website?
Can they do it?
Or maybe they have to do it on an indymedia website in their continent?
Where is it written?
I invite you again to have a look at the other indymedia websites.
For example on the Italian indymedia, many people from foreign countries not only publish news, but they also do it in foreign languages, and very rarely people criticize them for doing it, and honestly I have never seen this happen, rightly someone sometimes asks for a translation.
I refer to the italian one because it sees to be well ahead of the others
But I’m sure that this happens on other websites too, on the indymedia uk for example, do they have people like Ray?
Why can’t the irish indymedia be the same?
Do you think that this website is only for a small circle of people who have their own private indymedia?
If so, there are chat lines, yahoo groups which I think are more suitable for that use.
Ray always criticizes people, for absurd reasons that as I showed have no justification, since no rules are broken not doing what he asks people to do.
In doing so, I think , he doesn’t encourage readers to read the news and to get involved in our struggles, which I think are some of the main reasons of the existance of this website
And it’s not a case that many people here criticize Ray for his behaviour.
I’m not special, who seems to be pecial and above every one here is you, who patrol this website like web policemen.
You’re building a wall to surround your own private community and isolate it from the others.
I am trying to tear it down.
Promotion of Voluntary Union Among Peoples
The root-cause of political conflict in Ethiopia is the state's forcible denial of the right of oppressed peoples to self-determination. The OLF is committed to the fundamental democratic principle that the Oromo and other peoples, being tyrannized by the TPLF regime, are endowed with the right to decide their own political status and destiny.
To achieve stability and development in the region, national oppression and domination by the TPLF must be brought to an end. To realize this objective and solve the political conflict peacefully, the political will of concerned parties—and ultimately that of respective peoples in Ethiopia and that of the international community—is essential. The policy of evasion of the real issues must cease.
The current struggle of the Oromo people has its root in its opposition to political domination, economic exploitation, and cultural suppression by successive Abyssinian regimes. The fundamental objective of the Oromo liberation struggle, led by the OLF, is to exercise the Oromo people's inalienable right to national self-determination. Its goal is to terminate a century of oppression and exploitation and to form, where possible, a political union with other peoples based on equality, respect for mutual interests, and the principle of voluntary association. If the Oromo people cannot forge a voluntary union with others based on equality, respect for individual and collective rights, and promotion of mutual interest, then the people shall exercise their inalienable right to form their own independent state to promote peace and prosperity.
The struggle of the Oromo people is to regain their dignity, freedom, and human rights. It is not directed against any people but against the system of oppression. The protracted armed resistance under the leadership of the OLF is an act of self-defense. It is a continuation of the resistance undertaken by the Oromo people against successive Ethiopian governments, including the current regime, that have forcibly denied their right of self-determination. The subjugated peoples’ armed resistance targets the government’s coercive machinery, not innocent civilians.
The OLF recognizes, respects, and fosters the rights of minorities in Oromia. It is committed to their inalienable right to develop their own culture, administer their own affairs, and enjoy all other internationally recognized rights.
The empire state of Ethiopia was created by a strategy of divide and conquer and is currently maintained by divide and rule. This trend must be reversed. The OLF believes in the importance of solidarity and cooperation among peoples in Ethiopia. It also believes that the realization of all parties concerned of the common objectives of liberation of the subjugated peoples, led by their genuine representatives, is essential for eventually fostering fraternity among peoples. Peaceful coexistence is sine qua non for all inhabitants of the Horn of Africa.
-First of all, the person who posted the news is clearly a person who doesn't publish often.
This may be clear to you but I don't see any evidence for that. For all I know it's one of the many trolls that infest indymedia trying to fill up the diskspace and force other stories off down the newswire (which is a point I forgot to make).
-The fact that Indymedia has a limited disk space, for me is less important that the news that are published.
There won't be any publishing going on if the disks get full. So under that argument you ought to care whether or not people post link-n-summary or reproductions of entire articles. Furthermore, you're suggesting that a link-n-summary is a denial of publishing to the contributor. How, exactly is that so?
-On the mainstream press journalists are obliged to follow strict rules, they cannot write more than a certain number of columns etc.
If these rules apply to the irish Indymedia too, well, I don't see the reason why it should be existing.
The only strict rules followed by indymedia are stated clearly on the site. Apart from that you can do what you want. However if you do whatever you want you can DESTROY the site. I can easily write a perl script to flood the site with a repeated message. If I feel this is important then who are you or Ray to tell me what I can or cannot do? The point is that we need to cooperate with each other to make this work. I've pointed out why/how full-reproduction of an article which can be linked and summarized can help to make indymedia.ie NOT work. The contributor has been asked not to do what s/he is doing because it is creating a problem for everyone.
-The reason why the Indymedia exists is because it's different from papers, and it's open to anyone who wants to publish.
How does posting a link and summary constitute a denial of being able to publish?
-If the disk space is so limited, why isn't it clearly stated somewhere?
Indymedia.ie relies upon the intelligence and social conscience of its contributors.
-And also, if it is really so limited why isn't there a sort of form where only few people can register and publish news?
It hasn't got there yet, but it will if the pattern of publishing all texts which are already available on the web continues. Do you really want to push indymedia.ie to the point where such a limitation HAS to be imposed? Is that what you want?
-Since these things don’t exist and are not even mentioned on this webside, I must come to the conclusion that the policy of the Indymedia has other purposes, and that the requests that Ray continuously makes are HIS OWN, and don't represent the rules that really apply to this website.
Yes, Ray's comments are HIS OWN and furthermore my requests and comments are MY own. You are being asked by people that SHARE the site with you to change your behaviour. You are being appealed to on the basis of logic and reason. No one is coercing you to do anything. We CANT under Open Publishing. What we can do is point out to YOU how you are helping to destroy the very priveleges that you claim.
-A link does certainly help for the reasons you listed above, and I personally do agree with that, but it is not stated anywhere on this website that it's compulsory, or at least advisable to refer to links.
No, it's not compulsory. It's a REQUEST.
-The sort of rules that you have listed are well known only to frequent publishers, but on the Indymedia there are people who publish once a week, once a month, or even once a year, and they’re not too familiar with the website
I agree that this is something that should be suggested on the "Publish" form. Getting people to think about what their post is supposed to achieve and the different methods of making it would be a good idea. Sometimes though people only read comments made to their published article.
-therefore all the points you make are only personal opinions or advices, that everyone is free to follow or not to follow.
Yes, completely. You can destroy indymedia.ie if you like. No-one can stop you.
-The people who publish only once in a while are important to this website as much as you, me, Ray and the very small number of people who can publish every day.
Yes, they are VERY important, but their voices won't be heard and their articles won't be read if they're submerged in a flood of reproduced articles. It'll just be a huge pile of confusing unreadable stuff cut out of websites and emails from somewhere else and posted here. Any of those people that you are "defending" won't have their original reports, eyewitness accounts and testimony seen because I'll have cut and pasted 70 articles from Socialist Worker that *I* think are neato. Any who are YOU to tell me that whatever catches my fancy can't go on the newswire?
-And it’s not a case that many people here criticize Ray for his behaviour.
Who cares. Ray is just another user of the site asking that people behave in a more SOCIAL and COOPERATIVE manner.
-I’m not special, who seems to be pecial and above every one here is you, who patrol this website like web policemen.
Oh, but you ARE special. Every user of indymedia has the potential to enhance or degrade indymedia. If you behave in particular ways you will make the site better or worse. It's like a swimming pool. I'm requesting people not to piss in it.
-You’re building a wall to surround your own private community and isolate it from the others.
I am trying to tear it down.
No, it's a site for publishing NEWS. Hopefully ORIGINAL and LOCAL news. Stories that have NEVER BEEN WRITTEN before and ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE. This can coexist with interesting links and summaries to articles. It can not, for the reasons I have given, coexist with the mass REPRODUCTION of articles and emails available elsewhere.
No one is making you do anything. You are free to fuck it up as much as you like.
Good luck.
Still you guys crying the same old cry, the same Amahra colonization tune, which has been over since the Military gov., over 30 years and the young generation doesn't even know it existed.
The collapse of assumed key position in the TPLF governemnt brought you back to the same tear, Amahra colonisation. ah ha...
I think your leaders are far away from the reality. Whatever guides your actions the impact have some consquences.
You are willing to streach the cost far ugly and compromise with EPLF, primary enemy of the Ethiopian people. It is really sad how low you can go to gain your personal gain? It really amzes me such irrational decisions such that if ignoring the Ethiopian people, you are indirectly affecting the Oromo people. The effect of the war impacted all Ethiopians life economically.
Married to the Ethiopian enemy, whatever you may calls it is directly an enemy of the Ethiopian people. I wondered how you are blinded analysing this fact that considering your 30 years experience didn't tought you a thing understand such elementary fact ?
The fact is that there is no difference between the Ethiopian people, South, north east, and west. The economical unstability is a primary cause for such life disparity.
If you seen Mengestu's brutal government you can appreciate the present system and I think we need to learn to resolve issues peacefully than killing each other.
Even look how the Eritearians are doing now. Are they better off Ethiopia? If more than half of the population is under starvation how do you consider their system relative to the past.
If you consider Eritearians are on a bad shape, your's might be even worse because the complexity and the composition of tribes listed under the name Oromo is very broad and you can imagine the rest and certainly you know it.
At the moment what is urgent and burning in your mind is to take power on any cost.
That is the usual in Africa.
