Oromo political prisoners in the Ethiopian Empire !

Oromo political leaders, Obbo Bekele Gerba and Obbo Olbana Lelisa, were thrown into prison by the TPLF regime, which has militarily occupied Oromiyaa since 1991.who were recently sentenced  to lengthy prison term, are now transferred from Kality to the malaria infested Ziway prison. Zway already hosts some 3000 Oromo political prisoners. It is to be recalled that the renown Oromo singer Usmayyo Mussa fell sick while at this prison and passed away few months after being released


Two of the estimated 20,000 Oromo nationalist political prisoners in the Ethiopian empire, Obbo Bekele Gerba was the deputy Chairman of the opposition Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement (OFDM), and Obbo Olbana Lelisa a leader in the Oromo People’s Congress party (OPC) at the time of their arrestsFor the last 21 years Oromo political leaders and activists were killed ,disappeared , imprisoned and fled the country. All were and are accused by the Late   Meles  Zenawi’s regime of either supporting or being member of the OLF . Especially since 2004 -2011 in which the Oromo opposition political parties namely the Oromo federalist Democratic movement (OFDM) and the Oromo peoples congress ( OPC) won considerable seats in the parliament the imprisonment and torturing of the Oromo political leaders and activists are tripled. None of those imprisoned and suffered in the brutal hands of the Late    Meles Zenawi’s federal police and security agents were/ and are nothing to do with the OLF. They were /are members or leaders of the above mentioned legally formed political parties.These opposition parties fight the regime neck to neck exposed the authoritarian regime of Meles Zenawi. These genuine Oromo parties exposed the regime’s gross human right violations to the world community and drew the attention of the international human right organisations to follow and report the regime’s anti-peace and democracy. They are reporting the Meles Zenawi’s regime is responsible for the killings and imprisonment of dissents. As far as the name OLF exists and those opposition political parties and the Oromo people continue there resistance the wayane regime do not stop persecuting the Oromo nationals. So, to bring to the end the wayane persecution, all Oromo nationals must join and support the Mari biyyaa movement. Marii biyyaa is the only solution to bring our nations dream into reality. The dream of Mirga ofin of bulchu, the dream of aangoo siyaasa biyyatti harkatti galfachu. Political power is the determining factor for bilisummaa Oromo.
