Statement
of Opposition to the Decision to Transfer Oromia's Capital from
Finfinnee to Adama Issued by the Board of Macha and Tulama Development
Association
EPRDF erroneously assumes that Oromos do not believe that force can solve political
problems and that perfidy or robbery cannot be the basis of a permanent
solution. Unfortunately for Wayane, Oromos do not tolerate further
dispossession of their resources and any attempt to continue disenfranchising
the Oromo people shall only result in irreconcilable confrontation
among neighboring peoples. The clique indirectly promoting the current
invasion of Oromo territory shall be entirely responsible for the
tragedies that may follow such massive confrontation. (Macha
and Tulama Development Association, July 2000)

Sensless
War, Sure It Was ( By Tilahun Nebo)
Senseless war so it seemed from a superficial look and common sense,
but in the TPLF domain it was not senseless at all. It was all about
politics and survival. It was a mechanism of feeding fake hubris
of "nationalism" to the empire lovers in order to get their support
and blind them. Full

Action Group (OAG) protests Ethiopian dictator's visit to Harvard
University
It is outrageous for a prestigious institute such as yours [Harvard],
to provide a stage to a tyrant that imprisons, tortures, and kills
its own people. Your
action undermines the pain and senseless death of thousands of innocent
people, and it is indeed tantamount to endorsing Mr. Zenawi's heinous
crimes. (OAG letter to Harvard,
