This article is a continuation of the the first and the second parts of Gada theory and practices which I privously posted on different websites.

1.8). The institutional structure of Gada System and its Composition

The complet composition of Gada institution is called Gooroo. This is called Gooroo Boraana in the Oromo-Borana. Gooroo is a name of a geographical location where Borana Gada institution is based and is located in Areeroo district of the Borana region in southern Ethiopia. This is where the headquarters of the Gada institutional components (Gada Arboora/adula, Medhicha, and Garba) are located. Gooroo Borana means the holistic Gada institution for both place and institutional composition of complete one gada term. Holistic Borana institution (Gooroo Borana) encompasses many different institutions such as Gadaa Arboora, Medhicha, Garba, five political lines (gogeessas), including one Gada spokesperson (Abbaa Bokkuu) and non-political institutions such as five branches of spiritual institutions (Laduu Qaalluu Shaneenii). It is the total of these interconnected institutions, their balanced integrations and separations that create together one Borana Gada term (see Fig. 5) known as Gooroo Borana. Every Gada has such established institutional formulation and rotate turn by turn among five gogeessas, every eight years (see Fig.5).

Fig. 5. The Institutional, Political, Spiritual, Defence and Power Structure of one Gada term and its Balancing System of Borana Gada System

The three institutional pillars of the Gada system continuously maintain each other through the principle of checks and balances. The Garba institution represents the interest of the remaining four political lines during an eight year Gada term of office. They share and represent the most diverse interests of different gogeessas. One of the advantages of this power sharing mechanism between the ruling political group and opposition gogeessas are: 1) members of the next gogeessa known  as raabaa Gada or nominees  which come to power for the next eight years will get enough leadership experiences. 2) the three different institutional pillars play an important role in checking and balancing the amount of power that could be used by the ruling gogeesa.3) they increase competition for the improvement of skills, fairness and wisdom. 4) The culture of power sharing among all five gogeessas helps to ensure the restoration of true unity, representation, transparency, creditability and solidarity which creates a social harmony. 5) Limiting the power duration with non-repeatable term of office t prevents the emergence of dictatorships and opens the access to power for the coming younger generations of the society.

1.9). The Complex System of Gada Institutional Power Balance (Sharing)

Power within Gada structure can only be acquired by passing through different social roles at different times as it is calculated and regulated within age-set and Gada laws. The access to formal political office or power is based on individual skill not on the kinship system.

According to Gada system, any position cannot or should not be inherited, except Qaallu (spiritual or religion position). Political power is separated from moiety and clan relations (kinship system), and the religious, social or economical status of the person. Power corruption is systematically avoided through the collective and triangular system of checks and balances.

The five kinship free political lines (gogeessas) rotate every eight years while the three-integrated institutional pillars of the Gada system are institutionally fixed and constant throughout (see Fig.6) but the central leaders (Yaa’a Gada Sadeenii) come in and go out in every Gada term.  It is among the five gogeessas that power, in Gada system, is peacefully transferred through the principle of a rotating presidency every eight years. We must be careful and remind ourselves here that in every Gada term, each gogeessa takes over the power as a ruling party for eight years period, acting as leading figure, but there is a power sharing and balancing system among the ruling gogeessa and other remaining four gogeessas. Various political, administrative and collective responsibilities are associated with the three constant institutions (Gada Arboora, Medhicha and Garba) in which the five gogeessas transfer power and leave office when their term is over. The system operates through the principle of political and power rotation. It means that Gada system is not necessary age-grading system. However, it is definitely political, judicial and system which is not only based on the person’s age. In Gada system conflict is avoided by limiting power duration, avoiding power monopolization, balancing institutional power occupation, differentiating or separating institutional roles, putting collective accountability on political and institutional leaders of Gada. The system by itself involves a system of avoiding the cause of conflicts through norms and institutional formulation. Gada approach is based on a system of promoting an institutional problem solving through various systems of cooperation between different institutions within a single Gada institution.

This accommodating and cross-cutting system between the  five political lines (gogeessa shaneenii) provide a mechanism of limiting  the complex power structure by rotating power among these five gogeessas  through the three constant institutional pillars of Gada system. The following figure illustrates the complete forty (8×5 =40) years Gada political and power rotation and its complex system.

Fig. 6. The forty years of complex structural rotation of the three institutional pillars of Yaa’a Gada Sadeenii), googeessa shaneenii and their political, administrational, power sharing and limitation system

The relation between the institution of Gada Arboora (A) and Medhicha (M) on one side and of Garba (G) on the other side stand for “the principle of balanced opposition” (Legesse 2000:198). Therefore, (A, M) and G can be characterized as in opposition to each other. (A, M), and G are always engaged in competition acting as opposition, they may rebuke each other but they do not ‘rebel’ or ‘revolt’ in any way. Rather they challenge their opponent using the power of reasoning because culturally Oromo strongly believe in wisdom.  For this reason, Garbas are considered as the wisest people in the Yaa’a Gada sadeenii or Gooroo Borana (in the Oromo-Borana region)

The competition between the leaders of ruling political line (gogeessa) known as Gada Arboora and Medhicha, and the composition of the official opposition institution (Garba institution) are intensive but peaceful. They compete to best inst knowledge of Gada principles in the representation of poor and the weakest part of the society. Except for the debates over knowledge, they all stand for common ideology (see Fig. 7). More precisely, the competitions between these institutional angles are only to exercise opposite views, important aspects of democracy, rule of laws, but not to take over power from the ruling gogeessa. Thus, the role of the Garba institution, in opposition to the Gada Arboora and Medhicha institutions in every Gada term, can be understood as part of a system of check and balance of power. Asmarom Legesse has clearly described this as follows:  “A multi-headed or polycephalous organization is an integral part of many democratic societies, modern, as well as ancient, Western and non-Western. In such democratic societies, authority is split or differentiated and it is exercised by separate institutions that stand vis-à-vis each other in relations of mutual regulation. What makes these systems “democratic” is not merely the nature of the powers assigned to each institution and the constraints imposed on each type of leader but, most importantly, the manner that power is acquired and exercised by one institution in relation to other institutions” (Legesse 2000: 249-250).

1.10). Institutional and Ideological Foundations of Gada System, and its Power Rotation

In order to understand how Gada system is established, formulated and functions, we need to understand how the concept of, power, political ideology, tradition, culture, beliefs and political institution approaches are constructed, how  power hierarchy and duration are constructed, integrated, distributed and balanced within the main classical Gada institution.

Institutions are always established as a response to certain social needs. Law and order framework of Gada by itself rely on the principle of political, economic and social stability. Its ontological view springs from Oromo culture, tradition, belief systems and history in order to solve problems, avoid chaotic or violence and killing each other circumstances(Sahlu 2002:134-136).  However, Gada institution can be also considered as the outcome of Oromo cultural process and Oromo Qaalluu institution. Qaalluu institution can be viewed as one of the causes for the emergence and continuity of Gada system.

Institutions emerge out of people’s historical process, culture and belief system. Institutions once established, reinforce the societal norms and the ecological conditions that led to their establishment. With the same analogy that western institutions are based on western culture, ideology and moral values and aim at maintaining economy and power.

Gada system took it root and emerged from: 1) Oromo culture (development of ideas), 2) Oromo tradition (historical practice), and 3) belief system (moral and ethical principles). The system mainly aims at maintaining peace, stability and continuity.

The ideological foundation of Gada system is based on the principle of: 1) security and identity, 2) unity, 3) equality and 4) egalitarianism. According to Gada idology, all Oromos have the duty to protect those 4 principles, regardless of any political differens among the five gogeessas and different clan moieties.

Fig. 7. Gada institutional, ideological foundation, the five political lines (gogeessa) and power rotation in every eight years

The image of equality and egalitarianism among Oromo is essentially an image of political and administrational power, fair resources and economic distribution, majority participation and minority group rights or equality, but not gender equality. Except gender egalitarianism, there are all forms of egalitarianism in Gada system.  There is economic egalitarianism that every male members of the Borana society are equal in terms of economic and power. There are no class differences in Borana people. There is political egalitarianism because every male members of the society are equal standing in terms of political office regardless of their clan (kinship) and political belief. Borana legal egalitarianism principles consider every members of the society as equal under law. Borana moral egalitarianism also involves that ‘each person is of equal moral worth’, and as a democratic egalitarianism system, in Gada, each and every male person has an equal voice in public affairs. However, as an egalitarian society both men and women supposed or ought to be equal in all types of egalitarianism. Fairness for both men and women supposed to be for both sexes. This dimension is missing from Oromo democracy.

1.11). The Unique Characteristic of Gada System

The unique characteristic of Gada system is:

First, its political, administration and power timetable represent the order by which power is equally distributed, balanced, cheeked and respectively transferd from gogeessa to gogeessa in every eight years period. In addition to this system, the ethos of equality and egalitarianism among Oromo endorse to restore unity which in turn strengthens the social process of security and identity involved in the sequence of power transfer and coordinates a kinship free system within the three centralized Gada pillars. While the five political lines (gogeessas) are politically separated from each other, but they are institutionally, administrationally and ideologically integrated.

Second, non-repeatable political and administrational power cycle or rotates among five gogeessas to defend a single and unified common ideology, culture, beliefs and collective values (see fig. 7).  The ruling gogeessa and the other remaining four different gogeessas directly or indirectly work together. Even though, the four gogeessas are directly or theoretically out of one Gada term, but practically or indirect way they are sharing office and power with the ruling political line (gogeessa). To this end, institutional and political power transfers from one gogeessa to the next gogeessa every eighth year of Gada term peacefully. Some documents including the lists of the names of Abbaa Gadas show that this power transition system of Gada goes back to 14^th and 15^th centuries, may probably be before that (see appendix 3 table). The question is not in today’s context, but in the ancient time when people, in many parties the world,  were not advanced in performing a peaceful power transformation, how the Oromo realized the importance of peaceful means of political and administrational power transformation in the absence of  such ideas and mechanisms in many parts of the world?

Third, the unique feature of  Gada institution is that its dual organization (Sabboo and Goona) of their social structures that work as a source of identity and stability by creating a sense of family belonging across the clans and families of Borana society. This creates ever-lasting mutual right-obligations.

Fourth, the most important feature is its triangular structure of political and administration system, which is firmly, anchored on the basic unit of its one senior Arboora, one lateral senior Medhicha and one collectively junior opposition institution Garba which make Gada system cephalous headed  institution. The three institutional components work together to form uniquely social intricate and intertwined various political and administration systems designed to fit the various individual or groups’ interests, needs and values in the society.

Fifth, the uniqueness and complexity of Gada is that no matter which political line (gogeessa) is on  power, its common ideology (security and identity, equality, unity and egalitarianism) combined with the above three fundamental institutional approaches (the dual social organizational system, the three institutional pillars as a single governance system, and its pentagonal political lines system) together has left no room for power monopolization either by individuals or by one group of the society. These non-kinships based integrating institutions helped Borana to avoid the problem of tyrants or dictators in Oromo society.

Sixth, another fascinating character of Gada system is that in every fourth year of every Gada term, Borana build up a formal power check and leadership criticism assembly meeting to check the Gada leadership ability, or in case of power misuses by Gada leaders who are appointed on executive level. During this midterm meeting, criticism and complains of the Gada leadership including well expertise (konfii) are all possible on midterm assembly meeting.  On the political level, the assembly “meetings for postural coordination  allows the principles or norms, that regulate the inter-clan use of recourse(water and pasture) to be correctly applied, and they have the Gumii Gaayoo itself as a point of political-judicial reference which is in case of dispute or recrimination(Bassi 2005:255). The process might be characterized by severe criticism, blames or by expression of strong disapproval against the Gada leaders for one Gada term. However, the aims of the assembly are: 1) not to revolt against the authority of Gada office, but to rebuke the leaders in case of ‘frailty’ in that Gada term’s leadership or authority. 2) To resolve many other conflicting issues such as social, political, and resources concerns as well as if there is also a ‘frailty’ or moral weakness produced by the Gada leaders.

The ultimate standard ideal expectations of leadership perfection and the desire to be free from feud are embodied in Oromo culture.  The concept of how certain people solve their leadership problems created by ‘frailty’ as the ‘conflict between the ideals of leadership and the weakness of the leader’ has described by anthropologist Gulckman. ”In certain types of society, when subordinates turn against a leader thus, they may only turn against him personally, without necessarily revolting against the authority of the office he occupies (Gluckman 1956:28).

According to Aristotle’s distinction of rebuke, rebellion and revolution, the rebukers do not attack the system itself or the political authority. Instead, they aim to turn the leaders out of that office and replace by another preferred one. Gluckman asserted that the ideals of office required that the leader should be impartial and judge or act without bias, that he be wise in applying the general rules of law justly to the particular circumstances of dispute.  If he failed to act by the ideals of his office, he lost in general repute. In Borana case, such rebuking the leaderships through the power of reasoning take place in two ways:  the first rebuking system  goes throughout eight years Gada term by the mechanism of check and balance system between  the official opposition institution (Garba) and  the two ruling institutions (Gada Arboora and Medhicha)(see fig.4).

Looking at the imperfection side, checking, finding the fault or error of Gada Arboora and Medhicha institutions’ leaders and challenging them is the main task of the Garba institution leaders. This aspect of rebuking mechanism follows every day leaderships’ activities challenging and pressing the Gada leaders to work in a fair way under the Borana custom and Gada laws. It is a constant rebuke system in opposition to the ruling political line (gogeessa) and the Gada leaders through institutional approach. Another rebuking mechanism, in Gada system, also takes place in the form of midterm check and balance through assembly meeting which is always held in every fourth year of one Gada term.

Seventh, the unique characteristic of Gada system is that there is no chance of second, third or more terms for a single leader to be in office. This is one of the characteristic that makes the Oromo democracy unique from some of the western democracy in which there is no second term in office limitation, and in many case, there is no a mechanism of check and balance system once the political leaders are elected. In this way, Gada system implicates that how  conflict prevention system through institutional approach can be possible by integrating, distributing, balancing, cheeking and limiting different needs, interests such as power, psychological, resources, values of human and non-human being in a single accommodative institution.

Eighth, and last one is that Gada political process employs both participatory and representative democracy systems. It involves representative democracy on the cabinet level through its triple institutional pillars or Yaa’a Gada Sadeenii (Gada Arboora, Medhicha and Garba), and both representative and participatory democracy such as Gumii Gaayoo assembly (Borana general assembly). This makes Gada democracy system a holistic democratic system.

Ninth, Gada system of conflict prevention and resolution. Gada system of conflict prevention and resolution operates neither through the institution of ‘feud’ nor through a single person. The institutionalized and multi-head leadership Gada political system makes its conflict prevention and resolution system  completely different from both traditional societies  and modern  world’s problem solving system in which Gada conflict resolution operates in ‘ordered anarchy’ system. In constract to its political system, Gada conflict resolution mechanism is highly hierarchal involving nine steps and its process is unique or different from other traditional and modern system of conflict resolution.

Gada System of Conflict Prevention and Resolution will follows this article as a second prespective of Gada Theory and practices.

(HCH24, Google Translate from French) — According to preliminary reports from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 6 Oromo civilians were killed and 20 officers of the federal forces have died following clashes between Ethiopian security forces and Oromo civilians.

In Ethiopia, the media reported that at least 20 soldiers died without specifying the numbers of civilians from the Oromo ethnic group killed following clashes occurred during the destruction of Lafto district headquarters of the Oromo ethnic group located in the Southwest Addis Ababa.

Residents of the neighborhood Lafto trying to defend their makeshift dwellings are responding to the police who used firearms and tear gas. The population used to defend machetes and stones against the police. The clash occurred when the Municipality of Addis Ababa ordered the destruction of a neighborhood of the Oromo ethnic group without warning and without giving consideration to the poor dispossessed of their shelters fortunes by force.

One could see on the roads of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, cars soldiers heading to Lafto and across local residents decided to resist are always on hand to defend their neighborhood. Women and children Lafto go cry in front of the Church of St. Mary Church Addis Ababa the same day, Wednesday, June 29, 2016.

The situation is tense in Addis Ababa and human rights activists fear that the revolt spread throughout the city.

UN investigation has said Eritrea leaders should be tried for crimes against humanity, including rape and enslaving hundreds of thousands of people

GENEVA, July 1 (Reuters) – Eritrea may escape censure by the U.N. Security Council over its human rights record after the U.N. Human Rights Council passed a watered-down resolution against the African state on Friday.

A U.N. investigation set up by the Human Rights Council said last month that Eritrea’s leaders should be tried for crimes against humanity, including torture, rape, murder and enslaving hundreds of thousands of people.

The investigators, who published a 484-page report a year ago detailing the crimes and the country’s use of a “vast security network”, recommended that the situation in the country to be referred to the International Criminal Court.

But the resolution on Eritrea passed by the Human Rights Council on Friday merely requested that the U.N. General Assembly in New York submit the investigators’ work to “relevant organs of the UN for consideration and urgent action”.

An earlier draft had said the General Assembly should involve the Security Council to hold wrong-doers accountable via the “appropriate international and/or regional criminal justice mechanism”.

The council did “strongly encourage” the African Union to mount an investigation and bring suspects to justice, but its treatment of Eritrea is more conciliatory than its actions against North Korea, subject of an earlier U.N. investigation.

The text of the Eritrea resolution, which was initiated by Somalia and Djibouti, was watered down after several countries – among them the United States and China – objected to the tough language.

At a drafting meeting earlier in the week, U.S. diplomat Eric Richardson said the Eritrea report did not have “the same level of sophistication and precision” as the report on North Korea and the United States could not support the language of the text without revisions.

Eritrea has rejected all the allegations in the U.N. investigators’ report. Ghebreab Yemane, an adviser to President Isaias Afwerki, told the council the resolution was unfair, unjust and a deliberate U.S. and European attempt to “ratchet up harassment of Eritrea.”

“Its grave consequences will not be limited to Eritrea but will engulf the entire region,” he said. “This resolution will be used and abused to fan the flames of war.”

Eritrea and its neighbour Ethiopia have both accused the other of sparking a border clash on June 12.

Yemane blamed Ethiopia for “some of the worst human rights abuses and massacres of its people”, saying it was ironic that Ethiopia could use the council to lobby for the adoption of the resolution against Eritrea. (Reporting by Tom Miles, editing by Larry King)

Jerusalem (AFP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to make his first trip as premier to Africa, seeking new trade partners and marking the 40th anniversary of a hostage rescue in which his brother died.

He is the first sitting Israeli prime minister to travel to Africa since Yitzhak Rabin visited Casablanca in 1994.

While no official itinerary has been announced, Netanyahu is expected to visit Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda.

Israel’s cabinet approved a proposal on June 25 to open offices of Israel’s Agency for International Development in the four countries.

Netanyahu told the cabinet that his visit “is part of a major effort on our part to return to Africa in a big way”.

“This is important for Israeli companies and for the state of Israel. It is also important for the countries of Africa,” he said.

The trip comes at a time when Israel is launching a $13 million aid package to strengthen economic ties and cooperation with African countries, said Netanyahu’s office.

Israel would also provide African states with training in “domestic security” and health, it said.

“Israel’s comparative advantage in these fields has created great interest in African countries seeking training from Israel,” it said. “The African continent constitutes vast potential for Israel in very many areas.”

Netanyahu has publicly accepted an invitation from Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.

He said he wants to make the trip close to the anniversary of the July 4, 1976 Israeli hostage rescue in Uganda, in which his brother died.

‘Great personal consequence’

Israel’s dealings with Africa currently constitutes only two percent of its foreign trade, leaving plenty of room for growth.

Demand is rising for its defence expertise and products.

But it also sees African countries as potential allies, particularly at the United Nations and other international bodies, where it is regularly condemned over its occupation of the West Bank and blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Some African countries are keen to obtain Israeli agricultural and water technology, which the country has been promoting, say officials.

Netanyahu’s trip follows years of efforts to improve ties.

The Arab-Israeli conflict drove a wedge between African countries and the Jewish state in the 1960s.

Following wars between Israel and its neighbors in 1967 and 1973, North African nations led by Egypt put pressure on sub-Saharan African states to cut ties with Israel, which many did.

Relations were not helped by Israel’s friendship with the apartheid regime in South Africa before it fell in 1994.

Beyond diplomacy and trade, the trip will have deep personal meaning for Netanyahu.

His brother Yonatan was killed in July 1976 as he led a commando raid in Entebbe, Uganda, to free passengers aboard an Air France plane hijacked by two Palestinians and two Germans.

About 100 Israeli and Jewish hostages were freed in the raid but 20 Ugandan soldiers and seven hijackers were killed, along with several Ugandan civilians.

Yonatan Netanyahu was the lone casualty among the Israeli assault team.

Netanyahu has called the rescue operation “a very dramatic national experience” and “for me, obviously, one of great personal consequence.” AFP

UN member states ought to keep close watch on Ethiopia’s activities as it has a reputation of abusing any of its regional and international positions as an extension of its foreign and security policy interests by raising issues motivated by narrow, exclusive national interests and prejudices.

By Sophia Tesfamariam,

(Tesfa News) — Given the Ethiopian regime’s propensity for exaggerations, fabrications and outright lies, one cannot rely on its self-serving statements of bravado and self-aggrandizement when seeking the truth. Once again, the deceptive minority regime shamelessly toots its own horn on a bid to hoodwink the suffering people of Ethiopia and other gullible parties, by telling tall tales about its “win” at the Security Council. African states have been elected to as non-permanent members of the UN Security Council since the UN’s inception, but none has misrepresented the standard procedure at the UN as the regime ruling Ethiopia has done today.

Ethiopia’s election to the position is in no way a reflection of the minority regime’s “diplomacy”, and no doubt its patrons helped get it elected. The truth is that it ran uncontested as both Kenya and Seychelles withdrew their candidacy paving the way for Ethiopia. It is also not surprising that Ethiopia would garner so many votes, as all candidates that run uncontested tend to do so. Angola, who Ethiopia will be replacing, received 190 votes to earn its seat on the Council. While Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands competed for the two seats allocated for the Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG), Ethiopia was the sole candidate for the Africa seat.

Ethiopia’s election to the Security Council comes amidst the turmoil and chaos in the country. The Oromo Protests that began in November 2015 are threatening to engulf the whole country and the minority regime has resorted once again to using brute force to squelch the uprisings. The regime also launched another attack on Eritrea on 12 June 2016 and the border remains tense. It should be recalled that the last time Ethiopia was elected to the Council in 1989-90, similar conditions prevailed in Ethiopia, under the brutal Derg regime. It was overthrown in 1990.

Ethiopia’s assumption of a non-permanent member’s seat in the UN Security Council in January 2017 to serve a two-year term has been widely questioned for these and other reasons:

How can Ethiopia that has occupied sovereign Eritrean territories for over 14 years, in violation of international law and the over two dozen UN Security Council resolutions on the Eritrea – Ethiopia border issue, and is in violation of the African Union and UN Charters and the Algiers Agreements sit in judgement of other member states?

How can Ethiopia that is at war with its own people as evidenced by the genocides committed in the Gambela, Ogaden and Oromia regions of Ethiopia, and whose internal peace, stability and security is threatened by the uprisings across the country serve the interests of international peace and security?

How can Ethiopia that has pursued violence and war to achieve its domestic and international objectives in violation of the UN Charter which calls for the non-use of force; respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of states; and the peaceful settlement of disputes, fulfill its mandate as a non-permanent member of the Council?

The Security Council is one of the six main organs established under the UN Charter. It is composed of 15 members—five permanent and 10 non-permanent. The five permanent Security Council members are: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The General Assembly elects 10 non-permanent members for a two-year term. The 10 non-permanent seats are distributed on a regional basis. The African Group, Latin American and Caribbean Group, and the Western European and Others Group.

Ethiopia has served twice on the UNSC, in 1967-68 and 1989-90. That is no record to boast about as there have many other African states that have served two terms on the Council. Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mali, Mauritius, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe have all served two terms each. But there are also countries in Africa that have served more than two terms on the Security Council. Algeria, Gabon, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Zambia have served 3 times, while Egypt and Nigeria have served 5 times.

Regional analysts warn that the regime in Ethiopia is likely to use its position on the Security Council to raise issues motivated by narrow, exclusive national interests and prejudices. It will not assist the Council in focusing on both existing and emerging threats to collective security. They fear Ethiopia’s presence on the Security Council will undermine the credibility, integrity and efficacy of the Council as the effective and legitimate kernel of global security governance, by reducing it to an extension of its, and that of its patrons, foreign and security policy interests. Member States ought to keep close scrutiny of the regime’s activities, lest it undermine the UN system further.

‪#‎OromoProtests‬-“This is the best speech I have listened to by Artist Kadir Martu thus far. He also shared his inspiring personal life story by saying, “I was in battle with life to stay alive, raising myself as a kid all alone on the streets as a 12 year old because I lost most of my family members to this brutal governing. I was more than determined to win this battle to survive and despite all odds I did! I made it by becoming an artist. I won the battle not only for myself but most importantly for the youth.To show them that they too can win battles if they worked hard for it!”
He urged the youth to take actions by all means necessary to support the youth back home, by organizing themselves and utilizing their skills. He urged them to capitalize on the privileges and accessibility they have living in freedom country. He urged them to try their best to learn about their cultural identity and Afaan Oromo. To communicate with other Oromos, and to learn about their roots as a generatin born or raised in America. Most importantly, he challenged them to tell the story of the oppressed and why countless migrants continue to lose their lives at sea. Where their fleshes are eaten alive by sea life, fleeing from the Ethiopian government. Indeed a timely message for qubee generation!
Thanks Kadir!” Demitu Argo

HRLHA’s  Appeal  and Request for immediate Action

Appeal to:

H.E. Mr. Mogens Lykketoft
The President of the 70^th Session of the United Nations General Assembly

UN Headquarters, 405 East 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10017
Tel: +1-212-963-1234

Dear Mr President Lykketoft,

First of all, using this opportunity, let me Introduce to you the Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA)

“The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) was originally founded in Ethiopia in 1996      by the name “Human Rights League (HRL)”,  it was silenced at the outset by the Country’s authoritarian regime. It was then re-launched from the Diaspora in 2007 by exiled founders and members of the HRL.  It was then re-named the Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA), and registered as a non – profit and non – political organization in Ontario, Canada on the 14th of June 2007.

HRLHA aims to defend fundamental human rights,  including freedoms of thought, expression and assembly or organization. It also works to raise the awareness of individuals regarding their own basic human rights and those of others. It insists on the observances of international and regional treaties, protocols, covenants, instruments, agreements, etc. on human rights as well as due processes of related laws. It promotes the growth and development of free and vigorous civil societies”.

Dear President Lykketoft,

The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa wants to express its deep concern about what it regards as the wrong decision made by the members of UN General Assembly- headed by you- in electing Ethiopia on June 28, 2016 for the position of   a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council (UNSC)

The government of Ethiopia makes a lot of noise about the flourishing of democracy in that country. The reality on the ground shows that the undemocratic behavior of the government  has been overshadowed by the apparently “democratic” and anti-terrorism façade that the government has demonstrated for the past twenty-five years. During those years, thousands of citizens were killed, kidnapped, or imprisoned by this government because they simply tried to exercise their fundamental rights to free speech and expression, freedom of association and religion. University students, journalists, human rights activists, opposition political party members and their supporters, and farmers have been the major victims in Ethiopia.

Contrary to  the EPRDF/TPLF’s promises when it seized power in 1991 and the constitution of the country, the current Ethiopian government is  one of the most vicious human rights violators in the world.

In the recent crackdowns in Oromia Regional State, which started in November 2015 and still continue, more than 550 peaceful protestors from age 7 to 80 have been cold- bloodedly dealt with. Over 30,000 were arrested and many thousands have been  abducted, forcefully disappeared and tens of thousands forced to flee their country of birth because of persecution.

• Using their natural economic resources  (Massive Land grabs),
•  Their rights of participation in decision making about their political, and cultural affairs (Self -Determination),
• Civic engagement, democratic participation, and due process, freedom of expression,  freedom of assembly,
• Federal Police brutality was common and widespread in Oromia over many years and
• Employment opportunities (Educated Oromos are excluded from getting jobs  in Federal Government offices

The main reasons for the peaceful protests in Oromia Regional State  are social exclusion or  marginalization; the Oromo  people have been  systematically  blocked by the TPLF/EPRDF government from:

Mr. President Lykketoft,

There are credible  reports from independent human rights organizations and government agencies that show that brutal killings, torture, and disappearances  are taking place in  Oromia:

1. HRW, “Such a Brutal Crackdown”, Killings and Arrests in Response to Ethiopia’s Oromo Protests,
2. AFP, Fear stalks Ethiopia’s Oromia region after brutal crackdown,
3. European Parliament resolution on the situation in Ethiopia (2016/2520(RSP)) ,
4. AI, Ethiopia: End use of counter-terrorism law to persecute dissenters and opposition members
5. UN experts urge Ethiopia to halt violent crackdown on Oromia protesters, ensure accountability for abuses
6. HRLHA, Breaking the Silence: the Hard Truth about  the Oromo Nation Uprising in Ethiopia
7. For more reference, separate info on current #Oromo protests and the background is attached

The people of the other Regional States in Ethiopia- such as Gambela Region in the South, Ogaden Region in the East- have also been victims of human rights violations in Ethiopia.

Mr. President,

A government that kills, abducts, tortures  and disappears its citizens is  in no way fit to help maintain international peace and security at the global level as stipulated  in UN Security council objectives

Therefore the HRLHA appeals to you:

1. To strike the Government of Ethiopia from the electives list
2. To investigate the human rights violations in Ethiopia
3. To investigate the cause of the recent border clash between Ethiopia and Eritrea in which several troops were killed in one day.
