The Irresponsible act of the Army of the Prosperity Party in Oromiya is Tantamount to Crime against Humanity

 The Irresponsible act of the Army of the Prosperity Party in Oromiya is Tantamount to Crime against Humanity

The Prosperity Party’s Military called the National Defense Force of Ethiopia (ENDF), continued its inhuman and criminal acts against innocent civilians in different parts of Oromia. This time around, it has scaled up the use of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV) or drones in targeting civilians irresponsibly and callously.

On January 21, 2024, in North Showa Zone, Degam District, Qindo Agamsaa kebele, this irresponsible army killed five civilians and injured two individuals. The deceased innocent civilians are: 1) Mr. Fiqiru Hordofa, 2) Mr. Shawa Shifarrawu, 3) Mr. Fiqadu Dadi, 4) Mr. Seyume Gada 5) Mr. Shifaraw (second name to be identified). The injured ones are named 1) Mr. Lami Gadaa and 2) Mrs. Dinqe Tarfa. In the same Zone, in a place called Yayya Haro, the houses of innocent civilians named: 1) Tarfa Tufa, 2) Darajje Mamo, 3) Zawude Ashine, 4) Shifarew Ashine, 5) Addisu Asaminew, 6) Fiqadu Teshome were burnt to ashes.

Likewise, on January 21, 2024, in the South-West Shewa Zone, Qarsa Malima District, Gibbiso Kebele, a vast Drone attack of three rounds using poison gas was conducted against civilian settlements where several lives were lost and the belongingness of civilians destroyed.

On January 22, 2024, in Southern Oromia, East Guji Zone, Adoola Rede District, Abbullo and Qararoo kebeles, many rounds of drone strikes killed several noncombatants civilians and demolished several houses. In these kebeles, too, the use of poison bombs has caused incalculable damage to the lives and property of innocent civilians.

Lastly, we would like to emphasize that Prosperity Party’s so-called National Defense Force of Ethiopia has shown its barbarism and recklessness several times in different parts of the country. We have tried to inform the peace-loving and human rights organizations occasionally. The world community has the responsibility to be a voice for the innocent, especially for those civilians who have become a target of the rogue regime’s military actions. Above all, the use of poison bombs against civilian settlements and groups is a crime against humanity. Several UN and international conventions have banned the use of poison bombs, let alone against civilians but against any combatant group.

We thus call up all peace-loving and human rights organizations and the UN to denounce this barbarism. We call upon the responsible organ of the UN to investigate the type and extent of the poison gas used in Oromiya in general and those places mentioned above in particular.

We also call upon the Oromo people to scale up their resistance against the rogue regime that has staged a barbaric act of using a poison bomb against their fellow kin in Oromiya. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

Victory to the Masses!

HRW World Report 2024 exposes Ethiopia’s humanitarian despair, global inaction

 

 In its most recent World Report 2024, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has thoroughly exposed the extensive wartime atrocities and humanitarian crises that have plagued Ethiopia, overshadowing the Horn of Africa for the duration of 2023.

The report, which examines human rights practices in over one hundred countries, draws attention to the inadequate international aid afforded to the region, which continues to grapple with longstanding historical grievances and a pervasive culture of impunity for severe criminal acts.

The HRW contends that the peace agreement signed in northern Ethiopia in November 2022 has not led to significant international actions to ensure accountability and an end to human rights abuses.

The organization has noted that Ethiopia’s international partners, such as Western countries and the European Union, are resuming normal relations with the Ethiopian federal government. This is occurring despite ongoing reports of crimes against humanity and other serious abuses.

The report further emphasizes the extensive displacement crisis throughout the Horn of Africa, which has been intensified by ongoing conflicts and climatic events.

In Ethiopia, the conflict has compelled in excess of 1.2 million individuals to flee to adjacent countries, thereby intensifying the pre-existing substantial refugee populations from South Sudan, Eritrea, and various other nations that have found refuge within Ethiopian territory.

In the face of pressing humanitarian needs, the region’s calls for assistance have received profoundly inadequate funding, according to the rights group.

In Ethiopia, intentional measures taken by the conflicting factions have exacerbated the humanitarian situation. Accusations have been leveled against Eritrean forces for obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid to populations within Tigray that fall under their jurisdiction.

The report additionally underscores the regressions in advancing accountability within Ethiopia. The cessation of United Nations oversight concerning the human rights conditions by the European Union, notwithstanding a critical evaluation from the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia, coupled with the African Union’s cessation of its independent investigation, has elicited apprehensions.

The HRW underscores that the Ethiopian government’s opposition to international examination has resulted in a focus on instituting an internal transitional justice mechanism. “However, this approach is regarded with suspicion by victims of abuse who harbor mistrust towards the nation’s institutions,” reads the report.

Mausi Segun, the Africa director at HRW, has highlighted that Ethiopia and Sudan serve as distressing instances where government forces and armed factions contravene international law with minimal repercussions. Segun advocates for enhanced international and regional measures to protect civilians and cease the persistent violations and impunity that endanger civilian lives.

Nevertheless, the report emphasizes that the Security Council, concerned nations, and regional entities, especially the African Union and its human rights organ, ought to give precedence to accountability within any political settlement of the conflicts.

Comment

Abiy Ahmed regime must stop killing innocent Oromo civilians .

 

Over 5300 killings of Oromo civilians have now been recorded by OSG since Abiy Ahmed began his campaign at the end of 2018 to wipe out the Qeerroo movement and then the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) and its support base.

The neglect of news from Oromia Region and the near impossibility of obtaining information from the areas where most of the killings have occurred is borne out by the scanty coverage of Oromia in the report from the UN International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia (pp.6-11).

The majority of killings, over 3200, occurred during 2022 and 2023. Over 1300 were in the four Wallega zones in western Oromia and more than 1300 in the central zones of Showa.

Fano and other forces are responsible for most of the 700 killed in Oromia Special Zone, in the last three years, and nearly all of the 900 killed in Horo Guduru and East Wallega in the last two years, in acts of ethnic cleansing.

Militia forces have also played a role in the killings and ethnic cleansing in East Showa but most of the lethal violence in North and West Showa, which has claimed over 1300 Oromo civilian lives in the last two years, and the majority of the 1000 or more killings in Qellem and West Wallega since early 2020 have been perpetrated by government forces; operating out of Command Posts in the case of Qellem and West Wallega zones.

ENDF, and recently Fano, have particularly targeted young Oromo men, especially those at school or university, because of their potentially becoming members or supporters of OLA.

Killings in North and West Showa and in the four Wallega zones are also described in this report.

The utter desolation of areas under Command Post rule is evidenced by the catastrophic effect of this year’s malaria epidemic , where a combination of violence, severe malnutrition, economic collapse and record numbers of IDPs have left the population so vulnerable that thousands have died, without government help or acknowledgement.

The Ministry of Health has misled the international community and prevented the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs from describing the extent of the disaster.

While Oromo and other peoples need peace, government and Fano forces are fomenting inter-ethnic violence, which has alerted UN experts to the heightened risk of genocide .
