FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ginbot 7 condemns the ongoing mass detention of Oromos by the Meles dictatorship

[pdf]

Meles Zenawi’s dictatorship in Ethiopia continues to use terrorism as a pretext to terrorize Ethiopians and silence political dissent. It is a familiar pattern that has emerged in how terrorism is being used by the Meles regime as an excuse to suppress freedom. A bomb goes of some where killing or injuring civilians and the regime says here is the proof. The regime discovers a cache of weapons and ammunition to furnish evidence to its claims.

The Meles regime, which is hated by the entire population, is effortlessly apprehending so called ‘terrorists’. This by itself is a good indication of how bogus the plots discovered by the security forces and the trumped up charges that are brought against innocent citizens.

The Meles dictatorship is known for forging documents, producing fake witnesses and conjuring up spectacular crimes, such as treason and genocide against any one, even peaceful human right activists. Seen in this context, the recent mass detention of Oromos under the pretext of foiling a terror plot is a complete farce. We believe that it is an attempt by the regime to gain the sympathy of the new U.S. president

In the absence of independent governmental institutions, and looking at the track record of the Meles dictatorship, it is incumbent upon us to reject any claim by the regime that is seeking to link the recent mass detention of Oromos with bogus terrorist plots.

Ginbot 7 condemns the attack on fellow Ethiopians of the Oromo ethnic group and calls upon all those who stand for justice take the same position.

We take this opportunity to remind Ethiopians on the need to stand united to bring an end to the atrocities of Melese’s regime that is destroying persons, families and communities through out Ethiopia.

  1. Thank you G7 for exposing this gangs. Thank you Ethiopian Review also to exposing this fake criminal gornemt. It sad to Woyane’s Bereket Simons website such as Ethiopiafirst to call innocent Oromos terrorist with out any proof. Hodams will perish, truth will win.

  3. Woyanne may have their ulterior motives for the mass arrest and murder of Oromos in Ethiopia but their dastardly actions will not stop the fight of Oromo people and the rest of Ethiopians to get rid of this cancer that is ruling Ethiopia. Woyanne should have learned from their own history, the more Dergh brutalized the people of Tigray the more the people of Tigray resisted during the struggle for their freedom but the short sighted Woyanne leaders don’t learn a lesson, in the absence of that the people of Ethiopia will teach Woyanne a lesson that will take Woyanne and their stooges to the trash bin of history. No amount of dastardly act can deter a determined people from asserting their right, it is only a matter of time.

  4. Ginbot 7,

    I admire your deep knowledge of TPLFITES tricks and dramas. I gues its halloween night in tplf utopia. This must be the case always when they terrorize peaceful citizens in own country and homes, then driving maltitudes to escape ghost regime of king zenawi.
    The actions of TPLF have tested the IQS of all Ethiopians while some hodams clap in such dangerous adventures of spilling bloods of millions, time would be in line for those who mocked and laughed at. Case in point, todays tlfs used to be exhibited every night on ETV, during Mengistu’s era. Look where Mengistu and his iron fist empire went!
    In TPLF mind of states, sun never down on them forever! wrong again! Case in point Who would have guest a year ago A black president for USA? In this changing world everything and anything is as 1 and 2. Therefore, woyanites would harvest, more of what they are planting today, which hates among the people of this miserable nation of ours.

  5. Such kinds of press releases shouldn’t be posted only on Ethiopian pro-democracy websites but also be sent to the UN specilized agencies such as the Human Rights Commission,International Court of Justice:Amnesty International, foreign ministries of the G8,EU,AU etc.

    The gross violation of the brutal regime should be exposed as much as possible.We should also follow up the situations of of all those our brothers and sisters who are under custody and react appropriatly!
