Hello people, when are we going to stop all this lies BS and stand together for the better of Ethiopia? Come on people... It's fine we have our views & beliefs but we need to help each other by limiting the lies & uniting ourselves... Think about it, Ethiopians are way better off today than ever before.

Save your hard core tribes in your heart & be true to yourself & your people...

Hey all from Minneapolis!

I Love Ethiopia.

What a BS! You can say whatever you want but blatant lie like this is not going to take you anywhere. The country is working hard to establish schools of all types colleges, universities are emerging in every corner of the country and it is shameful to hear you saying discrimination based on ethnicity. People, wake up be realistic! You can hate the current government but you can not blame it with this kind of naked lie and unfounded report. Please be true to yourself and your constituency. You are not helping the Oromo people at all.

The situation in our country is getting bad by the evil design of the TPLF. Every one of us, who recently visited Ethiopia can attest to what is going on. It is san very sad to see apartheid system slowly but surely getting root. We must stop this , and Oromos are not alone in this struggle. TPLF is making generational mistakes. I encourage Tigre Ethiopians open their eyes and stop this maddnes.

Dogs and liers, don't try to give false information about our Oromo brothers in Ethiopia. Why you want to devide people? Let me tell you this, you people of diaspora, neither you don't improve your lives and help your people nor you leave Ethiopians in peace. You all are some lunatics who don't love peace and cooperation. You all are thieves and liers. First get united in yourselves wherever you are before you start talking about other people. You are no better than the WOYANE government! you criticize the WOYANE for being thief and yet you are thieves. No better than our government! Shame on you! You all are disgrace to your own people and to the ancient proud Ethiopians!

Don't lie because you are living in U.S.A Ok/ anyway, you might be one of those called themselves as Latinos not as Ethiopian too funy / you better help your poor family.

Nobody will believe such low level BS. The Oromos can learn in their own language in today's Ethiopia and they can go to any University. The Oromos flourished in every sector in the country. They have new Colleges and Universities in their region.

I don't understand that Ethiopia's enemies are determined to bring her down everyday. The problem is that anyone can post a comment as a real news. The responsibility falls on Nazert.com - that they should be putting forward news from reliable sources. By the way, I am not advocating sensor-ship. The reporter, Roseanne Pereira, Minnesota Public Radio, has been misinformed. I will personally write to her to visit Ethiopia. Please STOP distorting the truth.

The problem is latin.How can they can join the univesrsity if they learn in latin.It's embaressing for the Oromos to prefer Ltin than Amharic Fedel. They should use the amharic fedel in oromegna.It's just put gas on the burning fire.It contributes a lot for the division.What real amazes me they don't even ask the people.Few of them made this descion and the poor people has to accept it. I have a frien who was born and raised in Jimma, She went their for her Mom's funeral and she had to take care of their estate.The application has to be written in oromigna(latin)and then traslate in Amarigna.People shoid be asked what language they want to use.Sad case!

The only way available to fight injustice is by acting and working together. Unity of our people beyond and above narrow ethnic back grounds is the only way forward to achieve democratic rights, freedom and equality for all nations/nationalities/tribes.
Injustice that happens to the Oromo people is the same with the injustice that the rest of our people face. Trying to pointing out, contrary to other ethnic groups Oromos live under an apartheid system, is good for the ear of a foreigner who wants a story to tell, but not for all Ethiopians. Just pointing out exclusively the Oromos, is an indirect way of saying the age old story told by most Oromo elites, that Oromos are not part and parcel of the Ethiopian nation, and should secede from Ethiopia.
Nobody denies that Ethiopia is ruled by tribal dictatorial regime. But the victims are not only the Oromo people. So, why not climb the bandwagon of democratic struggle and face the dictator in unison with all Ethiopians who are suffering under this regime? Why not declare explicitly that the Oromo movement is a movement for democratic rights of Oromos and all Ethiopians, and not a secessionist movement? Why continue to work and demand for secession and carry on armed struggle when armed groups in today’s world have become anathema and a red rug that drives the west in to fury.
Any democratic Ethiopian will support the struggle for the democratic rights of the Oromo people and all the underdogs in Ethiopia. Unfortunately the Oromo elites have alienated most Ethiopians with their unachievable, unpractical and outdated secessionist agenda. They have lost the support of other Ethiopians and have become a stumbling block in the struggle for democracy, freedom and equality.
We are waiting for the day when the Oromo elites understand the mistake of secession and armed struggle and declare that they are ready for peaceful struggle together with all Ethiopians, for the democratic right of the Oromo people and all Ethiopians. On that day all peace loving Ethiopians will stand by their side.
Long live united, democratic and prosperous Ethiopia!
Equality for all nations/nationalities/tribes!

ethiopia[vistor],

In the first place there no something like Amharic fedel,...it is the Ge'ez one. And for your information oromifa can't be written ,with full meaning, using the Ge'ez fedel. Because there are cases where you have to double the letters to convey the right message by forming the so called 'jabaa', 'laafaa', 'dheeraa' and 'gabaabaa' words. Moreover there are many other cases like this one that makes latin an ideal character for oromiffaa. But if you still insist that we have to use the Ge'ez, I think this is against out right,....don't you think? Your case about your friend in Jima can't justify your claim,...rather you have to clearly say and force that everyone in ethiopia has to speak and write only in Amharic,...which can't happen again by any means.

wish you all the best!
The oromo!

Nazret.com,
you should be ashamed to put this story on your site. What are you going to do next? Are you going to post what an Eritrean off the streets of DC has to say about Ethiopia??? Please have credible/professional news-story from a known source.
Thats all I got to say.....

Most of the Oromos who live in Minnesota are murderers. Way back in 1991-1993 EC they killed more than 50,000 un armed Innocent Amhara ethnic group farmers and their families in a barbaric and savage manner. 1/ They burn them alive in their mud house. 2/They cut their neck, hands and legs. 3/ They take out their eyes while they are alive and tie them with rops and throw them from cliffs,big gorege. All this is well documented. After they committed this crime, most of them run away to kenya,somalia,Sudan,Yemen and Djiboui for sefty. This is how they end up in USA, Minnesota. There is one thing very clear, many oromo people are abused by the ruling party in Ethiopia, nobody can deny this facts. But, most of the people in USA,Minnesota are criminals who commited the bigest crime that one can imagine. They are a bunch of hate groups hiding with their crimes but to cover their crime they use the name of oromo people and crying for justic. The United States of America Government must have to investigate the oromo criminals track records co-operating with Ethiopian Embassy and other Ethiopian oppositition groups, I say this, because there are many informations out there about Oromo Individuals who are criminals and wanted at large. Justic`s will Prevail ! Criminals can use the word "Justic`s"

ethiopia,

"The problem is latin.How can they can join the univesrsity if they learn in latin.It's embaressing for the Oromos to prefer Ltin than Amharic Fedel. They should use the amharic fedel in oromegna".

You are very funny! From which world are you? The whole world use Latin and never lagged behind the Amharic-user Ethiopians in every sense. You don't tell 30 million people to do this to do that... you just can't coz nobody will notice your existence Have you conducted 'statistical analysis' that Oromo students who have been educated in their own language 'latin' are lazy at their study than other Ethiopians?. Other wise you are just another little-minded nuisance. Shame on you!

I agree with the Oromos. I think students should be thought in Oromo language since Oromos are two-thirds of the population of Ethiopia. Otherwise, I think that they are being marginalized.

Whatever problem the Oromos are facing id due to undemocratic Government in Ethiopia and all other ethnic groups Ogadenis, Annuaks , Amharas etc are also suffering from the same injustice and the solution is to unite and fight to build a free and democratic Ethiopia.

The Oromo shall cross all forms of hurdles to achieve its freedom from the long-standing repressions and marginalizations designed and being implemented by the successive Habesha backward and ignorant rulers. Our inevitable freedom would solve all these problems. It is just a matter of time, not a matter of yes or no. Oromia shall be liberated by the sacred bloods of her sons and daughters. Time will show us this is happening and the 16 century history will repeat itself infront of our own eyes.

Ethiopia,

I totally agree with you. OLF and few stupid decided about the fate of the Oromos including the language, kilil and other issues. Look in US or elsewhere. To have a common language is the very fundamental foundation to any country to function as statehood. Most Africans are communicated with foreign languages came beyond the sea and ocean. Just by looking them, you can say the language is not from them. But who cares whom the language belongs. The important thing is its use value. We ride cars, Use TV, planes and many other imported products. Do we care who produces them? no. We care about the use value.

Amharic as the only language the majority of the Ethiopian people is using for many years, belongs to all Ethiopians. Naturally We Ethiopians look the same. That means we all can proudly say Amharic is our language and belongs to each of us let say unlike to English, as our outlook is not to an English. Amharic uses the only Alphabet Africa (black) people have. Oromigna has used Geez Alphabets for many years. Yet the OLF and their ally have chosen Latin, which is belongs beyond the sea. Because of their hate towards others, they are destroying Oromigna writing it with many vowels and the same times consuming lots of spaces to write. If you know the Amharic letters, there is no chance to write Amharic with spelling errors. The language is so developed making you able to write it in short words without making spelling errors.
As long as the country doesn’t get one common language to communicate all over the country, the situation will not solve. As we know at least about half of the Ethiopian population (82 mil) speaks Amharic, this is and will be the only official language to Ethiopia. English will remains our language to communicate the outside world.

The more than 52 ethnic groups in the south and others in Gambella, Besh-Gumus, and other part of Ethiopia have made the best decision regarding the language, Using Amharic as an official language. But the oromos are not proud being black let alone being Ethiopias when they chose Latin from amharic which is the only African language uses own Alphabet.

Remember, The decision is not made by the ordinary Oromos, but by OLF and few motivated by hate and holding gun to implement it. The people are victims of this atrocity, too.

Z-Mike i am tired of you!
You are just supporting The Tigray people liberation front regime. Don't you have any feelings for your own Ethiopian people?
I you would you would agree with this article.
Because this is the true, The only people who can success in Ethiopia right now is the ethnic group Tigre. That's just how it is and will continue as long as the Tigray dominated regime and undemocratic regime will stay in power.

Of course, no Gold, silver or precious stone are awaited as gifts from the hands of the fellow colonizers, but harsh and inhuman treatments.

Oromia shall be liberated by our bloods

Hay walkup layers this days no one believe you, to be onset with you don't west your time but if you have spare time go do volunteer work I am sour there are a lot of hospital around you need v.people.

Hey!! Hey!! MPR
It is good to have big population of Oromo’s in Twin Cities!! Hooray!!!
But what is going on there? Are you guys planning some kind of catastrophe to the wonderful Oromo people living in Oromia state of Ethiopia or what?
That is not going to happen at any time. The evil mind Esayas and his devil advocate OLF, Ogaden NLF, and CUD LF will never prevail and prosper in or around Mother Ethiopia.
Stop talking nonsense. Of a good will, people in Ethiopia are progressing in all aspects of life. Think of what kind help or aid you will bring to them. They do not need garbage chatter!!!

ViVa EPRDF

These IDIOTS from Minnesota are so clue-less, they are not even good liers, i'll be amazed if any one beleave their made up story.


Go to hell!

It is just rubbish.

What a shame! How low can the Diaspora Ethiopian politics go?
Folks, these lies are not only blatant and shameful but they seem to grow overtime. We all know that our Oromo brothers and sisters in Ethiopia are the country's back bone, in all venues.

Telling lies after lies to confuse the already confused naive white Americans to gain some political sympathy from them is dangerous. This is the kind of propaganda that the desperate OLF has chosen these days after miserably failing on the war front.

By the way the main reason that OLF and its Minnesota sympathizers have failed in the of the war front is because it does not have the support of the Oromos in Ethiopia.

When does the lies stop and a healthy political discourse begin? Is there any hope out there? Shame.

"Birhanemeskel Abebe says there are two separate education systems in Ethiopia. People of ethnicities favored by the government go to better schools and onto college, leading to good jobs and leadership positions. If you're Oromo, he says, it's difficult to get beyond the 10th grade and the government regularly expels Oromo students from universities."

Now to tell this kind of lie with a straight face is beyond politics, it is pure psychological lunacy.
God help, Ethiopia.

i think nazret.com is turning woyane no coverage of the cud arrival and most of its commentors are pro woyane

Do you remember. reading the nonsense out of Minnesota news paper.

Here is what is going on in Minnesota. As every one of you knows, Minnesota is a home of ethnic Ethiopian Oromos and a propaganda head quarter for notorious terrorist OLF in north America.
OLF has been trying and steel trying to lobby at Capitol Hill, however, never had been successful in opening a single senator's door from the republican nor democrats. That is because, due to OLF's past and present terrorism history and their secessions stance, with out a historical backing, in order to justify OLF's demand for cessation and it's brutal history of murdering any body any one with questions let alone opposing.

Comming back to this very article, OLF has been and is being watched by the US government, simply because OLF is regarded as a terrorist organization, given OLF's history of working and operating with a world wide known terrorist organizations, such as Hamas,Hazballa etc.
All this conspicuous Minnesota garbage article, which does not make sense and no merit is meant to give OLF some sort of legitimacy and an introductory value in their localities, in hopes, some nationally recognized media out let might grab and run with it, so that it could become a nationally highlighted news.
My Ethiopian brothers and sisters, please be ware of the venomous, OLF, Shabia, ONLF, and the traditional enemies of Ethiopia, as well as CUD who is working together with LF's and Shabia, including Egypt.

Oromo ppl made the wrong choice for switching Amharic to latin.They should blame there leaders who are ignorants and power yetemashew.They where given the chance and costing the meskin ppl who elected them.Oromo PLL you need to clean this ppl who are draggind them behind with latin shit.Latin is hard to understand if the your languge is not based on that. kemayakut seytan yemiyakut yeshalal.Good luck!

[Stop using Omo as a nick name. It is being used by someone.]

what kinda bullshit about"suppressed oromo in ethiopia".lol.oromos are ethiopians,there's no anything bout an"oromia nation,oromo people",a.s.o.-oromos are ethiopians,that's the reality-before the bygone century(exactly the 16th century),there was no oromo in the area.they came after the end of the muslim-christian wars "ahmed granye t'ornet" from southern parts of the african horn to enter ethiopia as nomads(MAYBE THROUGH KENYA OR SOUTHERN SOMALIA;SOME SOURCES SPEAK ALSO ABOUT MADAGASKAR).oromo sources mention an area named "berigemma" as their land of origin(exactly geographical location unknown)their main entrance to nowadays ethiopian territory were "bale";SO MOST OROMOS SETTLED DOWN IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL ETHIOPIA:olf's separatist secessionist phantasmagory about "OROMIA" is totally out of space-forget about 'em and other enemees of mother ethiopia-they have not the slicest chance and will be driven out of this world-god bless ethiopia!!!!!

Ethiopia guy

why the hell do you think that the oromo people want to use this backward letter? jimma is in oromia so, it has to be in oromo. If you miss the characters you guys stole from greeks, you should ship you stupid ass to amhara regional state.

You can hate the EPRDF government all you want, but please do not lie. The reason is simple. It is going to come back and haunt you. You may think your lies will hurt the government. It probably will in the short term, but the effect will be limited to those Diaspora elements who may not have any contact in Ethiopia and therefore unable to verify that your lies are what they truly are. Lies churned out by a desperate rebel organization that is being marginalized by the people it claims it is struggling to liberate. The Oromo people know the desperation of the OLF and are gradually rejecting it and embracing the EPRDF government or other Oromo based political groups operating in the country.

Job well done, until the freedom ring for our nation. We have to fight side by side. I am with you, eventhought, there are alot of them paid to make noise in western free media, dont mind them. They are loud because that is what they supposed to do to make their daily bread. What a shme game they are playing. Freedon has its own time, until then we have to push. we will fight in each corner. Down with TPLF victory to Ethiopian people. The Oromia nation will make sure that, the tyrant system not needed for all nations and nationalities.

I read some comments above, the best for all oromos and amharas is get united as before, get rid of the bloody butcher, woyane the enemy of all including the whole continent.
The woyanes should be the first, primary target. Then the other folk groups can work out a modern democratic political system live together and develope the country. Neither the oromos amharas or other groups can survive alone. They all are surrounded by enemies. Oromos and others can live in peace and enjoy life.

Thank you.

you guys why you jump our fellow ETIOPIANS DO YOU THINK this article comes from oromos?no it is not do not you know this article comes from this idiot ROSEANNE PERERIA she wrote this lie to add an other problem in our country so do not insult our brothers about this article.

I live in Minnesota, here is the truth all 15.000 or 10.000 people they are not oromo they just came for oromo case any ways 90% of them they just came for dreaming better life they dont have been or they dont have any problem with Ethiopian governement I know them well.

The truth heart. I find it interesting and convinced that it is true. When i look back the system of TPLF creat is an Apartide system AND THE OROMO STUDENT LIMITED IN COLLEGE AND HIGHT SCHOOLS. FIRST be true youself before you come hear make lie in puplic. When you have more than 50% the Ethiopian population an oromo and the collge compas may be 10 % oromo student, if it is not apartide, then we have to call it some thing else. Is there any body tellig me this is not true... People this is a modern world and does not take long to find this date...

With these kind of mentaliy and use of foul language. I become pesimist about the future of my Country.

I know this is a lie, but TPLF always has the intention to do so. One evidence is the "Harvard" equivalen school established at Mekele a few years ago.
But, I want to tell nazret.com that the comments above are posted by one or two people with different alias names and it is clear for us. Don't post my comments as usual.

[Abe, we monitor the comments. At times, some people do what you mentioned and we delete messages when we find out. If you suspect any abuse please contact us via our feedback form with links and we will check into it. ]

Woayne stooges , please stop appeasing the bandits!! In order to have peace we need democratically electected governmt free of neftgna and Woyane looters. Any the so called governmt which rules by a barel of a gun(we all consider Meles and his gangs as foreingners) is short lived and eventually will demise!!

I do not understand Ethiopians, if you really want a peace in that county; you need to admit what have been done and them still doing it on the Oromos Students, Educators, Farmers and so on. So my fake brother and sisters “ Amharas” , if you need a peace in that land, you really have to cooperate with the abused, mistreated, killed nation’s of that country. Instead when someone tells the truth about what is really going on that land, you respond is criticism, telling that he/she is lying, and all other things. This is a recommendation/ warning, you need a peace work for peace, not for so called “proud Ethiopia”, because the days won’t be too far for you to crave for a peace and equality. You need to listen, this is give and take. We are willing to forgive you for what you have done in the past, but guess what you are stilling living in the past, no wonder you celebrated millennium 7 years later from the rest of the world.

If you want to know about the truth go to Tigray region and see the only education system that is in effect for students up to 12th grade while the rest of the regions are forced to learn up to 10th grade. Second the special schools opend in the Tigray region for the children of wayyane officials. No more facts are needed than these!

Are you still in hangover Bonaa?
Wake up, do you listen what you said for God-sake. Who is living in the past? who is yelling out loud as if what King Menelik said was yesterday? who got his/her time mixed-up so that found him/herself living in such inferiority complex. Go back read your comment ...no wonder ... Do you know that Israelis and others follow our calendar to mark their religion holidays? I guess not, you don't have free space in your mind b/c you're full of hate and BS. Get up from the couch and go to school, probably then you might understand what is wrong and right.
God bless Ethiopia!

Why latin? No wonder they are hurt!Wake up Oromos think critically and be united with ethiopia.It's not like back in the days when amhara devide us all.Give up latin and join the rest of ethiopia.success will come from competition. Do not follow shabias'style they are still loosers with their independance.Unity

"aya jibo satamehagn bilagn"alech midaqua!

what a big lie?

first of all It is you OLF members,when you were part of this government,before you are kicked out ,that you decided to your people on behalf of them that to get special education in Latin.then off course,they are still getting their school run by Latin.that is also different from other regions education system where they are learning by their own letters"Geez".however the big lie is about what you say oromos are not getting to superior schools/universties of the country,go and see addis ababa university and others in every region where oromos are persuing their school with other ethiopians.last but not list lie of descremination on the basis of ethnicity,oromo students complete their high school on 10th grade.But that is for all ethiopians.so why you need special treatment for oromos alone?what a bunch of liers!!and hate mongers.

peace in the new millanium!

Hit hornets’ nest?

It is difficult to understand why the Nafxanyaa elites and their bed fellows, big and small, cry and die from migraine head ache whenever they hear or read the word oromo. Even before a single wayyane supporter reacts the Nafxanyaas are the first to deny the crime against Oromos in Oromia today and to attack the victim! Although Oromos should not expect solidarity from them Nafxanyaas are exposing themselves to the world when they accuse legitimate Oromo victims of Abbysinian barbarism of lying, seeking oromo succession, using latin alphabet etc. although the victim is merely exposing the crime being inflicted upon his people.
That is why Oromos NEVER trust the Nafxanyaa elite and rather prefer the current wayyannee to rule Oromia for the next hundred years than see the return of Nafxanyaas to rule them, if they can not rule themselves.
Why? Wayyaanes at least allowed Oromos to use their language and develope their culture, which were nearly eliminated by Nafxanyaas for over 100 years, Oromia is now at least partially delimitated on the ground (of course except Wallo and many other areas bordering oromia) and our universally recognized right to self-determination is at least written on the paper by the constitution. Nafxanyaas want to reverse all this, and if they can, deny existence of any thing like Oromo but Ethiopia. Oromos never said Ethiopia doesn’t exist. They said they, Oromos, do exist too, certainly on their land Oromia and want to determine their destiny. The mere mention of the term ‚oromo’ constitues separatism for Nafxagnaas! If your case is why the Oromos single out their problems the answer is they have to speak about their problems first because they are targeted as oromos and others are entitled to do the same if they have the same problems. We express(ed) our unequivocal solidarity with all oppressed peoples in that empire and elsewhere when they’re selectively mistreated. Note that 30000-40000 oromos including hundreds of students expelled from universities and members of MTA self help association are laguishing in Wayyannee jails for many years to this date. Oromos are being fed to hyenas!
I hope that Nafxanyaa fascists denial of existence of oromo and violation of their universal human rights by successive Abbysinian regimes helps us speed-up, not hinder!, the ‚seccession’ process and brings the day of their nightmare closer when they have to live with reality.

Thank you.

What makes the Oromos peoples problem so special or diffrent than the rest of Ethiopian people? Please wake up the oromo people knows what they need to struglle for with the rest of their brothers and sisters to make ONE strong nation called Ethiopia.So you olf senpetizers you will be Loosers at the end and for those who are the leader of olf you be will hunted for your crime and broght to justice you know who you are long live One strong Ethiopia

Tplf(tigre), olf(oromo), Cud(amhara,gurage) so what? where is the unity of ethiopia? can we wait from other planets? unity without equality is slavery. I am not personaliy happy with any political organizetion right now b/c they do not repesent the majority of the population of ethiopia.adestane ethiopia mewelade yalechalu mahane nachew(they are unable to give brith the new democratic ethiopia). all political parties are mules.

oromowosh manew tenat atatnu yalashu?merote besha newe serashuh, tenatun man yatnw tadia???????? I love you all. Happy Millenium.

it is not too late to wake up and proclaim peace for the people of the horn. Oromo, amhara, Tigray,......they are all people of different backgrounds and cultures. that is why they are beating each other so bitterly. You cann't keep them together for ever by gun. One day things will be blow up and they will be free like Eriteria. that will be the day when we all start counting history and love will cherish among people of the horn.

I think Ethiopia should be divided. Tigray should unite with Eritrea. Oromos should have their own land. Amharas should have their land. Everyone will live in peace. Oops, the oromos are determined Amharas from the face of the earth. So we don't need any division between Ethiopians. Opps my bad.

Talk is cheap. How long we can tolerate these out right lie? Telling the truth does not mean pro current government. These repetitive lies need to be countered with the truth. Before airing NPR never attempted to validate the allegation The first step should be to call NPR’s at 1-800-228-7123 and Our dissatisfaction on the baseless piece

The Eritrean is moving in the right direction slowly and confidently until he gets his ultimate goal-the destruction of Ethiopia and building the greater Tigray.Yes the rest of us can keep barking whereas Naziawi Meles is busy on his homework-dismembering Ethiopia.

once again you Abashas ( bustards ) have proven your true nature of simplemindedness, arrogance, ignorance, brutality and backwardness you guys will never learn how to act like civilized from the others, never
what has been seen in the Ethiopian Empire for the past century is still continuing to be seen until today under the TPLF regime. life has never been the same for the oppressors (Abasha) and the oppressed (non Abashas). it's a fact, there has always been harsh discrimination against non Abashas spatially against Oromo. when the Amahara and Tigrian elites were educated in the finest schools in and out of the Ethiopian Empire the Oromo student were being expelled or denied education at all. history never forgets the days when Oromo students were forced to change their name and religion to look like the oppressors so that they can get a basic education. what we are seeing now days is the same kind of unforgiving crimes are being committed against the Oromo students and people but in a very systematic and manipulative way. while students in Tigray continued with their free education in their newly built, fully facilitated schools with their full uniform until they finish 12th grade; the Oromo students if they are lucky enough are only permitted to get free education until only 10th grade in a class room that's fully jam-
packed, with a roof that's about to fall on their head and in a school that's extremely under facilitated. let me tell you ignorant Abashas something, in Oromia Oromo students get those educations under those extreme conditions if they are some of the luck once, there are thousands whom have been barred from school, imprisoned for no reason or even shot dead in their class rooms.
but do you know what the funniest and sweetest part of all this is? even though you Abashas try so hard to discourage Oromo students they still outshine you damp asses by far LoL... Oromo’s are the smartest, have the majority educated elites and are honorably the most elegant people in that Empire.
say somethin’ now
last but not least, our only answer to all the Oromo dilemma is Bilisummaa, arguing with you empty headed, backward Abashas is pointless.
BILISUMMAA

Please people do not be fooled by some Woyane impostors who by using different nicks try to divide the Oromo and Amhara. I did not find anything wrong in all the interviews. It is true that it is only in Tigrai that a high school is upto to 12th grade. In all other regions its only up to 10th grade. The best universities and colleges are by and large in Tigrai. All the military high officials are from Tigrai. Almost all the high ranking key officials are from Tigrai. Oromos are at least 40% of the population, while only 10% of the Federal employees are Oromos. The discrepancy is staggering. The interview only mentions about what the TPLF government did, however, some want to turn it as a struggle between Amharas and Oromos. Do not be fooled people. Do not play into their hands.

the mighty uniters are the amhars.Their languages,thier culture their everything
is the in eveyone heart. common do not go around the bush.Ameharic does not belong to the Amharas any more it belongs to every
body.There is no other language that is
going to unite us. WE would be like Nigeria
or any other african countries if we were to loose this language. The oromos in minessot
minesota are criminals to the people of ethiopia

Well here is the thing, might be it is true that the Oromos are and have been in a harsh environment to grow in all directions. Recently, you guy know what happened in Jena Louisiana. What happen there was not right however, some whites were not even trying to understand the ugly fact. Please try to understand one another with out judging each other. Lets do what's right! A new millinen, a new vision!
Peace to all!

When something posted about Southen part Everybody mostly Abashas are against it. But when it is about north almost all Abashas are sopporters, sympathazaries and tearing.

I don`t know when you stop this partiality.While you are promoting Division how could you what you cry for "unity".

Some of you seems writing from mental clinc. because still they are talking about using of Latin alphabet which was adapted in 1974.The isssue of oromo language has already finaliazed and NEVER EVER be negotiated or Discussed.

Happy New Year to all!

I always regret wasting my time on ethnic issue, as I am thoroughly belive that ethinic issues belong to the past Millennium.

Anyways,

It is a myth to believe that Oromos are the majority in Ethiopia. There are no Oromos, Amharas, Tigrinos or Somalis, Afaris, and, and, and. There are Ethiopians who speak Orominga, Amharic, Tigringa, Somali or Afari.

Whether we like it or not, Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia. Any individual who doesn't want to accept this fact, doesn't belong to Ethiopia.

The majority of White Caucasian Americans have of German ancestry. In the beginning of the American nation building process, German emigrants had wanted to instill German, as the official language of The USA. But English has succeeded through in being the language of all Americans. Even during the current wave of Hispanic emigration, or China, globally playing a key role, in neither case, could Spanish or Chinese are capable of challenging the dominance of English as an official language. Every body accept this very fact, and period!

Using the geez letter is not an alternative choice, but rather a privilege, a one-time opportunity. Those who are arguing that the Latin writing system is advantageous for Oromigna are lairs and pathetic deceivers. The groups preferred Latin Alphabets to Geez, first of all out of hatred to Amharas and Tigrayans, and secondly because they thought they might get international acceptance. They never thought of the fact that they already have sold themselves and betrayed cowardly their brothers and sisters. Losing your Ethiopianess begins by avoiding everything that God has given you to strengthen your unity and individual dignity: Language, culture, and most of all, faith, are part of the very important big dilemma that each of us have to follow if we want to know where we are heading to. Many Eritreans who are originally part of that precious Ethiopianess have shown by choosing some kind of a messed up 'Dahlak' identity. You can see that in your next door Eritrean. Many Ethiopian Oromos, like Ethiopian Eritreans, are having a romantic dream of creating a 'separate from the rest' Identity under the influence of Scandinavia. Is it by coincidence that we see most Oromos in Sweden or Norway, and in Minnesota where the majority of settlers are Scandinavian origin?

Those who identify themselves to their fantasy world of Oromia, are either ignorants or they already are in hell. Most Oromonigna speakers who emigrated from East and central Africa to the Holly Land of Ethiopia are grateful that their spiritual brothers and sisters have liberated them from the diabolic world of pagans. They are thankful to God. That's why there is no difference between the Ethiopian Amharas, Ethiopian Tigrayans and Ethiopian Oromos. When the Amharas in Gondar were on the verge of extermination due to syphilis that Portuguese had brought with them in the past, it's the Oromo blood who rescued those Amharas because God allowed them to intermingle continuously. So, the Amharas should be thankful for that. In general, biologically or culturally speaking, the majority of peoples in Ethiopia is not Oromo, Amhara or Tigre -- it's a mixture of all. The majority is simply Ethiopian.

On the other hand, in these last days, we need to pay attention to one important factor, namely the spiritual factor. The whole phenomnon of Ethiopiness is first of all a spiritual Identity.

The current wave of challenges that Ethiopian Eritreans, Ethiopian Oromos, or even Ethiopian Amharas and Tigrayans is prepared by God himself. All the unnecessary man-made rules and burdens, complications and intricacies have been rendered by God so that we could find the right path for ourselves.
It is for each one of us, Ethiopians: To be faithful to our Ethiopianness of the Holy Covenant. That is the only way to overcome such spiritual dilemma that presently engulfed the whole spectrum of our socio-political life.

So, whether we call ourselves Oromo, Amhara, Tigre, Afari, Somali etc, whether we call ourselves Orthodox, Catholoc, Protestant or Moslem, to be faithful to the Ethiopianness of the Holy Covenant is the only way to overcome such spiritual dilemma.

For God's sake, read about or speak to Oromos before you say anything; anything -- human rights reports, popular histories about Ethiopia. A lot has happened that has disenfranchised many, many Oromo in the past 150 years. Deal with it. Some of these comments unbelievably ignorant -- but not all of them; thank you freebird your thoughtfulness, your unwillingness to devolve this conversation to name-calling, and for making that analogy. With people like that, there can be hope yet.

There is an old expression about lie and liars, “lying spirit is always in the mouth of all his prophets” and it’s always expected that way. I feel so sorry for the young journalist Roseanne Pereira who did not do her homework to confirm the assertion of the allegation. As a journalist particularly as a “National Public Radio” journalist she was suppose to do a meticulous investigation before she just go a head and publish a blatant lie with out confirming the accusation from a reliable sources. Those of you who are called Oromo in the Diaspora the days of making a lie to grasp a news media attention are gone. Come up with a different strategy if that can help. But I don’t think so.
We are in the time of making history; when you are lying from the twine cities in the comfort of your homes, here we are fighting the war against poverty, disease and backwardness to changing the course of history. What else can I say except shame on you. It’s sad that, you were crying out lowed for some one who doesn’t even care about your cause except make a living by reporting your lies and deception. Those of you so called the voice of Oromos in the twin cities of Minnesota, please wake up and live through the realities of life. We are not an oblivious of the facts. As a matter of fact, this is the first time in the history of that country, where Oromos have ever enjoyed the freedom of self-governing, economic, social and hierarchical advantages.

When some cry like a wolf cry; we are marching toward the new millennium with pried and dignity.

How many percent of Oromo population are litrate?Beside that how many percent know the so called latin or Gatin language?Only those who created this language get jobs not not the poor oromos.It is the same thing as Woyanias are doing.Beside that is there any ethiopian who get a chance to work in or
oromo region than the so called latin or jatin speaker?I do not see any differen the so called Latin speaker and Woyane who are full of shites in ther mind.

ONE,

I am not supporting anyone. What I am saying is that don't lie to hurt Ethiopian economic & democratic prograss while you/your likes are crying lound from the WEST. Let Ethiopians live in PEACE as Ethiopians under one nation. Tigray people might of helped to bring the progress in Ethiopia but the working in progress is done by all Ethiopians. Keep your hate to one tribe aisde & be open minded to all Ethiopians. I am sure we'll know the Oromos have more freedom under the current gon't than most Ethiopian PAST gov't!

Ethiopians will no long be fooled by liars who are not even part of the good progress...

take care.

To this day i didn't know how much i was hated by habeshas for being an oromo.what we did to you to deserve this?In our past we didn't refuse to accept good goverance,in which you failed us the oromos.we didn't refuse to accept democratic election,in which you failed us.we didn't refused to democratic institutions in which you failed to establish it.So why you hate as so much when we started to stand and speak for our selves?you did nothing for us in last hundred years.No democratic election,no good government........The history of the country is filled with violence hunger and war.you guys you never believe in discussion to solve problems,you rather use guns.Look at Haile selasse,he rtefused to talk to Jabaha at the time.If he was talk to them shabia will never born.Look at mengistu,he refused to talk to shabia and then they fought it and they librated themseleves.Look at weyane,refused to talk to olf.oromia is going to fight and librate himself.But before all this happen they might discuss and find some solution.But it is habeshas mentality ,believing in fighting in which at the en d seems to lose it.Before you judge oromoos you just ask one of your friends returnee from the country.what is going on in side oromia.If you see it you will change your mind.It is really getting tough in side oromia.It doesn't seem the old country we know.

I am dismayed to see all this people writing nonsense without tacking hard facts. TPLF is destorying our country and our people. It seems all those who wrote on this site lost track of the issue. It is a fact evey one in Ethiopia should take seriously. TPLF is being lead by genocide and apertheid idealogy. That is what it called the CUD and charged them with. The ethnic regions are similar to the Bantustan in South Africa. Could anyone of good sense comment on this? I am sorry for many mindless guys over here. If this is the generation Ethiopia has in place, the future really is very dark and we are at dead end. Those who claim WE are Ethiopians should think better. I am American, and I don't intend to go back or send my kids to this unfortunate country. Sorry, guys I will not read Ethiopian news any more, and call myself Amhara --- with all this clueless and headless people.

The comments can tell me a lot of things, we been through a lot of discrimination and brutal killings, God willing it will end. we are not worried about liking and disliking all we need is social respct and diginity as human being. I am not against any ethnicities in Ethiopia but I am against evil things do ne to us and the regimes that were practing and harboring inhuman treatments. Some People say united Ethiopia, we Oromos are not against that notion either; we are looking for very democratic and integrated federalism but not the fake one. We have been suffering too long we need to make our decision now. We have been serving Ethiopia for too long while we were teated as second class citizens. We didn't deny to be Ethiopians but the history of Ethiopian denied us; there is no ethinicity called oromo in Ethiopian History until the derg regime. We were reffered by the name which we don't know even the meaning(Galla); the name doesn't mean any thing to us but it shows how Ethiopian regimes and dominant ethnicity used to treat and abuse Oromos.The struggle has gotten us our natural name thanks to God. We will also get Freedom, democracy, and justice very soon; it is easy for God.I have one thing to say to all Ethiopans the hatred and abuse is not going to help anyone. I think we should treat each other very respectfully and huamnely. We should learn from the past which is destroying and leaving us in hatred and poverty. It is okay we can be either live together through democratic federalization or be good neighbors. I don't believe in abusing anyone, the wrongs can't make right. I can always speak up for my right and for my people's right that doesn't mean to suppress the right of others. I do believe that we are all born free and equal but I would certainly say that there is no rule of law in Ethiopia. All the past regimes were tribal, feudalist,brutal dictators, and absolute monasrchies ; the recent regime is the worst.The worst thing about Ethiopia is all ignorant and some how educated leaders are the same or worse than the other. Can such leaders bring Ethiopia to unity, freedom, and democracy? of course not. Should Oromos suffer under such regimes for ever? of course not. Do all who gave comments watched Ethiopian regimes independently of or they are showing their being from Tigray? I would say just show their being from that ethnicity. Guys freedom is not indivisible. If there is freedom in Ethiopia everyone would have enjoyed it.
