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. ... read full story / add a comment

The following list of sectarian and other hate-driven incidents and attacks is from 1 through 30 November 2002. The criteria we use for inclusion is based on the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) criteria; if a person/organisation feels that the motivation for an attack against them was sectarian (or racist or homophobic), then it should be counted as such. We rely on a number of sources for our information, but this is by no means comprehensive. If you find incidents that have been left off the list please contact us. A full dossier of sectarian and other hate attacks from January 1999 until October 2002 is available on our website at www.serve.com/pfc. ... read full story / add a comment
