There are several records that the government repeatedly denied such unwarranted killings, where Human rights groups confirmed those killings to be perpetrated by the government security forces. The massacre of Abba Gadaa leaders of Fantalle District of East Showa Zone on 1 December 2021 was a typical example. The acts of government security forces in uniform, in the second week of June 2022, in Gambela Regional State against innocent Oromo civilians; and horrific videos in Oromiya Special Zone of Amhara Region (believed to be in December 2021) are other evidence.

In addition, the Ethiopian State has long history of using settlers as part of its security structure, arming them to control the local population and insurgency. It has created unnecessary contradiction between indigenous people and settlers and has caused loss of lives for years.

At this point in time, the blockage of means of communication in large parts of Wollaga and West Showa makes it difficult to confirm the ongoing sufferings of citizens of Oromia.

The regime aggressively uses its media monopoly to manipulate people’s feelings for political purposes, which is detrimental to peace and stability and might lead to further bloodshed. The dangers of imminent disasters, suffering and human deaths resulting from the governments and its allies’ military approach in Oromiya and elsewhere are highly gruesome to the Horn of Africa.

A neutral body could only objectively vindicate the clear picture of what is going on in this region .
