OLF Strongly Condemn Brutal Killings of its Leadership

OLF Statement on the Killing of Moibone Bekele, OLF Central Committee Member.

The brutal killing of an unarmed peaceful civilian has reached its saddest pinnacle. On October 12 2022, armed men shot Moibone Bekele in front of his home, Burayyu town, in the suburbs of the capital, Finfinnee. He was taken to a hospital but could not survive the bullet wound. He was martyred.

Moibone Bekele was a young and brilliant Oromo and a member of the OLF Central Committee who has sacrificed his whole life for the cause of the Oromo. He was jailed several times by the EPRDF regime, where he suffered bitterly in the notorious Me’ikelawi Prison for years. During the current government, he was again imprisoned for months and suffered immensely. His family members are regularly harassed and intimidated by government security forces.

We at the OLF are extremely saddened by the loss of such a vibrant young man. We send our deep-felt condolences to his family, comrades-in-struggle, and the Oromo at large.

At the same time, we assure everyone that sacrifices of any kind are not new to the OLF leaders, members, the Oromo people; and thus, nothing on our way could stop us from struggling to realize the objective of the Oromo cause. Moibone Bekele gracefully joined his comrades who sacrificed their lives for the just cause in the struggle. Respect, Love and memory for all those martyred for this cause.

We also strongly call upon the human right organization and other concerned bodies, national or international, for a neutral and independent investigation of the killings of Moibone Bekele, other peaceful Oromos, and from rest of the Ethiopian peoples who were pitilessly assassinated; whose number is now rising daily.

Aluta Continua!

Victory to the Masses!
