look I did send my troops to Somaila

Somalia's Islamic Courts have today said that large number of Ethiopian troops entered Somalia.
In a press conference held in Mogadishu, the Islamic Courts Security Council head Sheik Yusuf Indho-adde reiterated that unverified number of Ethiopian troops came in Somalia.
Indho-adde said it's an aggression of Ethiopia that is accustomed to coming in and out of Somalia when it desires.
"We are not going to invade a neighboring country. We are asking the world to keep a breast of Ethiopia's illegal movement in Somalia", said Indho-adde, inciting the UN and Arab League to try to halt Ethiopia's intervention in Somalia.
Union of Islamic Courts took over the last port town of Kismayu, where demonstrations against them took place.
The Islamists are reported to fire shots after the demonstration turned out violent.
Demonstrators set tires a blaze chanting anti-Islamist slogans.
At least two persons are reported killed in the riot.
Islamists' security council head mentioned about 50-100 Ethiopian armored vehicles had entered Somalia from Gedo region, southern Somalia, where Somalia borders Ethiopia, adding the Ethiopian troops went straight to Baidoa, the temporary base for Somalia's virtually shaky government to shield interim president Abdulahi Yusuf's government.
Reliable sources in Bardalle district of Bay region told Shabelle radio in Mogadishu that about 50 Ethiopian battlewagons had arrived in Baidoa.
The Islamic Courts first assistant chairperson Abdirahman Jinikow vowed the Islamists would fight Ethiopia if it did not renounce entering Somalia.

Statement by Brigadier General Hailu Gonfa and Colonel Gemechu Ayana
Until a few days ago, we were officers in the Ethiopian army sworn to protect the country’s laws and diverse people from any threats. To our deepest dismay, we have come to the conclusion that the greatest threat to Ethiopia and the people emanates not from elsewhere but from the regime on power. Over the last years, the armed forces have been systematically reduced to protecting the narrow interest of a small clique determined to cling to power at all costs. Under the circumstances the choices confronting us are: Either to remain with the same oppressive machinery or wait and see hoping against hope that things would improve on their own or through a miracle. We have waited too long; we cannot wait any longer.
Despite the calls by opposition groups to peacefully deal with the dire situation, EPRDF is showing no inclination whatsoever to address the country’s mounting social, economic and political problems. Instead, it is intensifying repression. Even though this repressive machinery did not spare any people in the country, the magnitude and scale of repression, harassment and intimidation committed against Oromo people has no comparison. Moreover, it is considering new military adventures in the region that would not serve the legitimate interests of all affected --and could plunge the region into chaos .
Throughout the years we served this regime, we were hoping things would improve over time and expected the regime would also resolve political conflicts peacefully and truly democratize the country where political power emanates from the will of the people not from force. Now we have found this to be an empty promise. We are particularly elated that the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD) has offered a hope not only to eliminate the specter of more mayhem but also chart a better future through a process of dialogue involving all stakeholders in the search for comprehensive solutions.
We regret that the regime has flagrantly, and without serious consideration, rejected this offer of goodwill and continued on its path of destruction. We cannot therefore continue to defend a minority and overwhelmingly rejected regime, sadly, that is committing untold atrocities against our own people.
It is time for us to take side in the fight between tyranny and liberty. Accordingly, we have dissociated ourselves from TPLF/EPRDF and joined the liberation struggle of our people gripped by the claws of tyranny. We have therefore joined the Oromo Liberation Front that is a member of the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD) to realize the age-old dream of all peoples for freedom and democracy.
To the Ethiopian Armed Forces
The incumbent regime has been fooling us all by falsely extolling its commitment to freedom, democracy and speedy economic development. This commitment has been put to test over the last 15 years. The tyrannical behavior of the regime demonstrates that this pledge runs skin deep and does not show any sign of change, which makes all our efforts and sacrifices in vain. We believe as long as the regime continues to defy the will of the people, our problems would multiply. That is why it has to be compelled to desist from its destructive path or be removed. We therefore call on you to follow our example and join the just and popular struggle.
To the international community
The minority Ethiopian regime does not have the capacity or the legitimacy to continue to rule the country. The regime, whose dismal 15 year tenure is more than enough to gauge its goodwill, needs to be pressed rather than appeased to submit to the call for dialogue. We strongly urge you to reconsider your support for it as it does not any more serve our common strategic interests.

70 Diplomats defected

Partial List of defected Diplomats and Support Staff MembersThese diplomats and staff members from various Ethiopian Embassies and Consular Offices left their job over the last three months. Some of these diplomats were dismissed from their posts accused of being members and/or supporters of opposition forces. Some others were ordered to report to the Head Office against a background of security reports collected on them by TPLF agents at the Embassies. All of them are awaiting charges of “genocide, desertion…” and other fictitious crimes. The total number of diplomats who left the regime after the May 2005 election is more than twice than the number in this list, which is believed to constitute nearly 75 % of the diplomatic staff.

school in Ethiopa

Host: 150.167.26.103Saturday September 09, 2006 20:10:25Mike[B]Melkias Adhanom, here is the Ethiopian higher education and still with no Ethiopian faculty and that is a shame. But that is what you get from Weyane. Weyane could claim 23 university but what you have is campuses with no faculty and students. Can you imagine a country that open her first university 60 years ago is still waiting for 800 professors from Nigeria to teach this year. Ask the Ethiopians and they can tell you the Ethiopian colleges and university are just “empty” campuses. Talk about elementary schools. Have you asked how many elementary schools in Ethiopia are now closed due to lack of teachers? Do not forget it the Swedish who built all Ethiopian rural schools also. Ask the Oromo and ask the Amhara for the number of elementary schools that have been closed. Then again, you cannot help; you can only be Wedi Mai Telamit on the flesh or at best one of Eritrean Hasus. Trust me, Ethiopia as we know it has gone to 30 years back in every thing-economically and educationally

Six Ethiopian soldiers arrive in Eritrea

Six Ethiopian soldiers arrive in Eritrea
Asmara, 7 September 2006 - Six Ethiopian soldiers who arrived here opposing the racist policy of the TPLF regime disclosed that at a time when resistance is gaining momentum within the Army, the regime is resorting to increased atrocities by imprisoning members of different ethnic groups.They noted that many Ethiopian soldiers are defecting to different opposition organizations and fleeing to neighboring countries opposing the brutal and harsh measures the TPLF regime is taking against members of the Army.The soldiers who arrived in Eritrea are Neguse Araya Tsadik and Gebreal Abraha Sebhat, both Tigrayans, Mohammed Adem Abdu from the Somali ethnic group, Tedros Zeleke Kasahun and Siyum Tesfayu Freisa, both of them Oromos, and Samsom Alemayehu who came from Birsheleko Training Camp.

Ethiopia: We stopped rebel hit squad/09/08/06

Ethiopia said it has arrested nine members of a rebel hit squad that was planning to assassinate government leaders, state media reported on Friday.
The suspects were working for the rebel Oromo Liberation Front, which has been fighting for greater autonomy in southern Ethiopia, the National Intelligence and Security Service said.
The Oromo make up a third of Ethiopia's 75-million people, and have been the centre of dissent against the ruling Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front.
Merera Gudina, head of the Oromo National Congress, said he was sceptical of the government's claims. On Monday, he said the Ethiopian government had detained without charge more than 250 members of the Oromo ethnic group. The latest arrests came Thursday.
"The problem is that no one has been brought into court yet, so the public has not been able to see them with their own eyes," Merera said.
"If we can't see them defending themselves in a court of law, how can we know what the truth is?"
In early August, an Ethiopian army officer of Oromo descent, Brigadier General Kemal Geltu, defected to traditional enemy Eritrea with more than 100 Ethiopian troops under his command. He said he was unhappy with the Ethiopian government's treatment of the Oromo.

Wayane house of cards is coming down,

[A]Deki Halal Meriet, the Weyane house of cards is coming tumbling down. In addition to the 100 or so Weyane diplomats who jumped the sinking Weyane ship, more defection of diplomats continues. Repot has it, “Dr Biruk Hailu, minister plenipotentiary, from Ethiopian embassy in Paris &Ato Gizachew Bizuayehu, counselor, have deserted the Meles regime by joining the other 59 or more defected diplomats within the last three months alone. More diplomats are believed to be determined to detach themselves from the rouge, racist Tigrean regime of Fascist Meles & his cohorts”. Also “the wife of the good-for-nothing so-called Ambassador of Ethiopia to Germany zombie Kassahun Ayele is busy finishing up her asylum case after consultation with her husband during his brief stay in USA this summer”. Also, “there is unconfirmed rumor circulating in DC concerning the wife of Nebiyou Dagne who applied for asylum here in USA. Nebiyou Dagne is a political counselor who is insidiously "working" for the opposition

The Oromo sing a joyful songby Chris Roberts, Minnesota Public RadioAugust 31, 2006
The Oromo sing a joyful song (feature audio)
Read original story on Minnesota Public Radio
After fleeing Ethiopia to escape persecution, more Oromo people have landed in Minnesota than any other place in the world. The music they've brought with them pulsates with joy.
St. Paul, Minn. — At a large Oromo wedding on the east side of St. Paul, singer Mohammed Sheka, playing his pre-programmed electronic keyboard, has dozens of revelers right where he wants them. They're hopping in unison to one of his songs, which they all seem to know.Oromo Lutherans gather every Sunday at Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. They sing their own unique brand of Lutheran hymns. (MPR Photo/Chris Roberts)
Sheka's life is typical for many Oromo refugees. Back in Oromia, he was a popular performer with several CDs. Then, the Ethiopian government clamped down.
"I was in prison for two years in Ethiopia, because my first CD and the second -- all of my CDs -- they have a song for freedom," says Sheka.
Like many who hope Oromia will become a country in its own right, Sheka fled to Nairobi and then to Minneapolis. He now works nine hours a day doing deliveries. He sings on the side, and is recording another CD to sell back home. Ask him to describe the Oromo sound and he'll say there are many.
"Oromo people, we have 14 states. We have the same thing, about 14 cultural musics, a different kind of music and a different kind of rhythm," says Sheka.
And Sheka says he's comfortable in every style.
One distinctive brand of Oromo music can be heard every Sunday morning at Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
The entire congregation is on its feet as a minister, her eyes closed and hands in the air, passionately preaches salvation.
The keyboard player begins an Oromo Lutheran hymn, and the sanctuary takes on the air of a revival. The music is bouncy and jubilant, the melodies soar. Nearly everyone is singing and swaying.
All this lively worship makes the traditional Scandinavian Lutheran service seem even more staid and subdued. Yet, Scandinavians can take some credit for Oromo faith. Eight percent of the Oromo are Lutherans because of the influence of Scandinavian missionaries.
Allison Adrian is a budding ethnomusicologist at the Univesity of Minnesota. Adrian says the joyfulness in Oromo Lutheran music contradicts the tragic situation the Oromo find themselves in.
"We have people here worshipping whose families -- they're separated. They might not know where some of their family is in Oromia," says Adrian. "But yet, they're just so absolutely happy to be free here, to be free to use their own language, to be free to have cultural events, to be free to be Oromo here in the Twin Cities, and I think that really comes through in their music."
Traditionally, Oromo music incorporates a variety of instruments. There's the krar, which is in the lute family, a one-string fiddle called the masenqo and frame drums which are played with the hands. But there are so few skilled players in America and Canada that Oromo musicians, like their Somali counterparts, are opting for the electronic keyboard.
While the instrumentation has gotten a technological makeover, Allison Adrian says the music still expresses a yearning for home.
"A lot of themes in their music have to do with feelings about their homeland, nostalgia about Oromia, wanting to go back but not being able to," says Adrian. "I feel like that kind of unifies Oromo music across styles and genres."
Adrian says Oromo Lutherans aren't necessarily evangelical Christians, but they are trying to set an example.
"Some of them feel as if they're here to show a lot of Americans their faith."
Adrian says upon arriving in the U.S., many of the Oromo expected to find a devoutly Christian nation. When they saw that wasn't the case, Adrian says some decided it was their calling to make Americans understand how lucky they are to speak their own language, live in relative safety and express their own faith.

Ethiopia: More State Police and Militia defections
Aug 31, 2006 Ogaden Online and Radio Xoriyo reporter in Ogaden confirms the defection of more police officers from the so-called local state administration. The latest one to defect is one Mr. Abdullahi Abdi Sahal who used to be a high-ranking member of local police force.It is reported that the reason given for this defection is that the former police officer could not tolerate the injustices and extra judicial killings being perpetrated by the Tigrey led militia forces throughout Ogaden. There was another man who defected with Mr. Abdullahi whose name has not been released yet.In related news, it is reported five more militia members have defected to ONLF in the town of DHuure. Local sources indicate that the mass defections of both police and militia forces are necessitated by a bubbling mutiny within the Ethiopian forces deployed in Ogaden.Ogaden Online News

Post details: Two OLF rebels are jailed for 52 years over arms

Two OLF rebels are jailed for 52 years over arms
By Adow Jubat
Two Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) members have been sentenced to 52 years in prison by a Moyale court.
The rebels were found guilty of being in possession of two AK-47 rifles, 139 rounds of ammunition and two hand grenades.
They were arrested on August 23 at Kate sub-location in Moyale Central division in the ongoing Kenya-Ethiopia joint military operation to contain the rebel movement.
One rebel, Nura Denga Jarso, was found with a AK47 rifle, two grenades and 113 rounds of ammunition.
He confessed before Senior Resident Magistrate, Mr James Nduna, that he was recruited into OLF in May last year, with the promise of a Sh5,000 monthly salary.
In mitigation, Jarso said he had joined the rebel group since he had no source of income to provide for his family.
But the magistrate sentenced him to 31 years for the four counts he had been charged with.
His co-accused, Kalicha Molu, was convicted of three counts: being in possession of a rifle, 26 rounds of ammunition, and being in the country illegally.
The magistrate handed him an 11-year sentence.
The suspects were convicted on their own guilty pleas.
The prosecutor, Inspector Mohammed Noor, earlier told the court that the offences threatened security, and called for severe punishment for the rebels.
But Molu and Jarso pleaded for leniency, saying they were married with children in Ethiopia and were the sole bread winners.
Delivering his judgement, the magistrate concurred with the prosecution that the offences were serious, and required a deterrent sentence.

It should be recalled that some people aired their opinions regarding the tour of Minase W/Giorgis in the Americas and Europe. I am sure you all also heard his interview with ETV about the meetings they had with "Oromo Nationals" in the Americas and Europe. Moreover, the press release emphasized that Oromo nationals and elites agreed to work with the PDO organization for alleged "Misomaa or development". One of those elites being a "Garachoo" by name Dr Mohammed Bedasso who is nominated to be the president of Adama University in two weeks. I met this bastard this summer in minnesota at a community picnic where he challenged a group of youth for selling a fund-raising poster that had the pictures of Oromo Martrys. I also heard that he was one of the founding members of OPLF before he joined OPDO this year. It is a timely call that we reveal his true identity to the Oromo nation. I heard his resume reads "Professor for ten years in American University" while in reality he was only assistant researcher at the University of Minnesota.
