The following is an appeal letter from the Oromo Studies Association, the Oromo Community Association of Chicago, the Oromo Community Association of Ohio, the Oromo Community Association of Michigan, the Oromo Community Association of Kentucky, the Oromo Community of Minnesota, the Minnesota Oromo Elders Council, and the Oromo Community of South Dakota.

Subject: North American Oromo’s Appeal Letter about Oromo Refugees in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Dear Mr. Guterres,

We, the Oromo community associations in North America and the Oromo Studies Association, write this letter in relation to the situation of the Oromo refugees and asylum seekers from Ethiopia. We heard and observed with disbelief and a profound sense of grief the awful news coming from Saudi Arabia. The graphic images and videos of indiscriminate beatings of defenseless immigrant workers, ostensibly by Saudi Arabian law enforcement officials and vigilantes, clearly shocked and enraged us. Law enforcement officials have randomly rounded up, kept tens of thousands of the immigrants in concentration camp-type facilities, and deported many thousands more to Ethiopia without regard to individual cases and needs. While we have sympathy for all Ethiopians who have been subjected to untold suffering in Saudi Arabia, we like to call your attention to the unique case of Oromo immigrants who are lumped together with all Ethiopians and subject to arbitrary measures.

The Oromo people, the single largest nation in the Horn of Africa, constitute about 40 percent of the population of Ethiopia. The ruling Ethiopian regime, dominated by the former rebel group Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), came to power in 1991, following the collapse of the military dictatorship of Mengistu Hailemariam. The TPLF hails from the Tigray people of North Ethiopia that approximately constitutes about 6 percent of the Ethiopian population. The Oromo country, the largest and richest region in Ethiopia, is often considered the breadbasket and the economic backbones of Ethiopia. Therefore, in Ethiopia, despite their numeric superiority and richness of their land, the Oromo have always been treated as a minority group, perpetually subjected to political, economic, and cultural depredations and dispossession. Because of their preponderant number, the Tigrayan minority considers the Oromos an existential threat to its political hegemony. For this reason, the TPLF regime is hell-bent on weakening the human, economic, and intellectual capacity of the Oromo people. Political killings, abductions and disappearances, unlawful imprisonments and torture against the Oromo people have been widespread for over two decades. To escape from such gross human rights violations, many Oromo refugees have been forced to flee their homeland and are dispersed all over Africa and the world. Oromo Refugees are experiencing a multitude of human right violations including violent attacks, torture and rape, and falling prey to human traffickers and body organ harvesters. Notwithstanding the fact that the Ethiopian government is hunting them in refugee camps to kill them, or forcefully taking them back to Ethiopia by either pressuring host countries or bribing security officers.

Unfortunately, in several hosting countries, the local people see these refugees as job stealers and criminals, and are hostile to them. Out of thousands of refugees and immigrant workers, indeed, it is unavoidable to have a few trouble-makers. Reports obtained from refugees suggest strongly that the majority of individuals who are involved in illegal activities are, in fact, agents of the Ethiopia government and want to tarnish the image of the immigrants.

The Oromo Support Group (OSG), the Human Rights League of Horn of Africa (HRLHA), and the Human Rights Watch (HRW), have documented numerous cases of rapes, abduction, tortures and killings of UNHCR recognized Oromo refugees in the neighboring countries of Ethiopia. In this connection, the report of the Danish Refugee Council and Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (DRCRMMS) noted: “The [Ethiopian] regime had made alliances with neighboring countries. Djibouti, Somalia, Yemen, Kenya committed a crime on refugees and also immigrants. The refugees, even those who are living with [the protection of the UNHCR] mandate are not safe.”

For instance, Engineer Tasfahun Chamada, a UNHCR recognized political refugee, died in prison, in August 2013, after refoulement from Kenya. In light of this fact, we believe and have a concern that the same fate awaits some of refugees and asylum seekers indiscriminately deported, under the banal of the illegal immigrants, to Ethiopia.

Given this reality, the wholesale roundups and deportations of Oromo refugees and asylum seekers to Ethiopia, along with immigrant workers, will lead to their further victimization. We urge the UNHCR to work with and encourage the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to respect the basic human rights and refugee protections under the international law.

We believe that the Saudi Arabian government has right to promulgate and enforce suzerain laws within its territories. But the Saudi government should not enforce its laws in the manner that undermines international laws and norms. Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares, “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.”

Although we know that the majority of the refugees in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are migrant domestic workers looking for better opportunities, a sizable number of the Oromo are refugees and asylum seekers who fled political and religious persecutions in Ethiopia. We believe that grouping refugees together with the so-called immigrant workers and deporting in the indiscriminate manner violates the cardinal principle of international law, non-refoulement.

As the UNCHR makes status determination for refugees on behalf of the Kingdom, we, therefore, kindly request and urge your good office the followings:

convince the government of Saudi Arabia to reconsider the status of Oromo refugees and asylum seekers in the process of the haphazard roundups and deportations;

making proper screenings before the deportations of people who are rounded up randomly;

facilitate the resettlement of Oromo refugees and asylum seekers to a third country if Saudi Arabia no longer want to host them;

convince the government of Saudi Arabia to respect basic human rights and afford them refugee protections under the international and Saudi laws;

provide basic needs such as food, shelter, and medical attention to the refugee and asylum seekers.

Respectfully,

በባእድ ኣገራት የጥቃት ሰለባ ለሆኑት ስደተኞች ዋነኛው ተጠያቂ የኣገር መሪ ነኝ ባዩ የወያኔ ስርኣት ነው

ኣብዛኞቹ ኦሮሞ የሆኑ የተለያዩ ብሄር ብሄረሰብ ተወላጆች ባገራቸው ሰርተው ማደግ ተስኖኣቸው በያመቱ ወደ ጎርቤትና ሩቅ ሃገራት ይሰደዳሉ። ኣብዛኞቹ በህገ ወጥ መንገድ ድንበር ኣሳብረው ጎሮቤት ኣገራት ይገባሉ። ጎሮቤት ኣገራቱ ውስጥም የወያኔ መንግስት ተጽእኖ ኣላሰራ ሲላቸው ለደህንነታቸው ሰግተው ርቀው ለመሄድ ሲሉ የከፋ ኣደጋ ያጋጥማቸዋል። በዚህ ሁኔታ በሱዳን፣ ሶማሊያ፣ ሶማሊ ላንድ፣ ፑንት ላንድ፣ ጅቡቲ፣ ኬንያ፣ ደቡብ ሱዳን፣ የመን፣ ሳውዲ ኣረቢያ፣ ዱባይ፣ ባህሬን፣ ሊባኖስ፣ ቃታር፣ ግብጽ እና ደቡብ ኣፍሪካ በመሳሰሉት ኣገራት ውስጥ ተሰድደው የሚገኙ ከኦሮሞና ከሌሎችም ብሄር ብሄረሰብ የሆኑ ዜጎች ብዛት በመቶ ሺዎች የሚገመት ነው።

ከነዚህ ስደተኞች ገሚሶቹ በፖለቲካ ችግር ሳቢያ የሚወዷትን ኣገራቸውን ለቀው የወጡ ናቸው። የተቀሩትም ባገራቸው ሰርተው የመለወጥና ራሳቸውን ችለው ቤተሰቦቻቸውን የመደገፍ እድል ተነፍገው ለተሻለ የስራ እድል ርቀው የሄዱ ናቸው። ባገራቸው ነግደው፣ ኣርሰው፣ ኣርብተው ኣልያም ባላቸው ሞያ ኣገልግለው እንዳይለወጡ ስልጣን ላይ ያለው ስርኣት እንቅፋት ሆነባቸው። የወያኔ መንግስት ባገራቸው ከማናቸውም መንግስታዊ የፖለቲካ ጉዳዮች ነጻ ሆነው ሰርተው መሻሻል የሚፈልጉትን ዜጎች የግድ የፓርቲዬ ኣባል ካልሆናችሁ እያለ ያስፈራራቸዋል። ይህን የማይቀበሉትን በሰበብ ኣስባቡ ኣደናቅፎ የስራ እድል ይዘጋባቸዋል። ኣርሶ ኣደሮቹን የማዳበሪያና የምርጥ ዘር ዋጋ ያስወድድባቸዋል ኣልያም ከናካቴው ይከለክላቸዋል። ነጋዴዎቹን ውሃ ቀጠነ ብሎ በማስቸገር የንግድ ፈቃዳቸውን ከነጠቀ በሁዋላ ይህን ያህል ሺ ገንዘብ ካልከፈልክ ኣታገኝም ይላቸዋል። ወደ ንግዱ ኣለም ለመግባት ያላቸውን ሃብት ኣስይዘው ከባንክ ገንዘብ መበደር የሚፈልጉትን በቅድሚያ የፓርቲያችን ኣባልነት መታወቂያ ኣምጣ በማለት ያሰናክላቸዋል። እነዚህ እንቅፋቶች ዜጎች ባገራቸው ሰርተው ራሳቸውንም ሆነ ኣገራቸውን እንዳያሳድጉ በማደናቀፍ ልባቸው ስደት እንዲመኝ ገፋፉ። ከኢትዮጵያ እየወጡ ወደተለያዩ ኣገራት ስራ ፍለጋ የተሰደዱ ዜጎች ቁጥር ከማናቸውም የጎሮቤቶቻችን ኣገሮች ልቆ የሚገኝበት ምክንያትም በዚህ ኣይነቱ የመንግስት ተጽእኖ ሳቢያ ነው ቢባል ማጋነን ኣይሆንም።

እነዚህ ስራ ፍለጋ የሚንከራተቱ ዜጎች የኢትዮጵያ ዜጎች እስከተባሉ ድረስ በደረሱበት ሁሉ ደህንነታቸውን የመከታተል ሃላፊነት የወደቀው ኣገር መሪ ነኝ በሚለው የወያኔ መንግስት ጫንቃ ላይ ነው። የወያኔ ህወሃት መንግስት ግን በኣንጻሩ ስደተኞቹ በደረሱባቸው ኣገራት ለሰብኣዊ ፍጡር የማይገቡ የጭካኔ እርምጃዎች ሰለባ እንዲሆኑ በማድረጉ ሴራ ውስጥ በቀጥታም ባይሆን በተዘዋዋሪ ተሳታፊ መሆንን መረጠ። በተለያዩ ጊዜያት ዜጎች ለስራ ፍላጋ በተሰደዱባቸው ኣገራት ተገድለው ሬሳቸው ጎዳና ላይ ሲጣል፣ ደማቸው እንደ ውሻ ደም የትም ሲፈስ ወያኔ ይህ ለምን ሆነ ብሎ ሲጠይቅ ኣልተሰማም። ሰርተው ለመቀየር ያለሙ የኣገራችን ሴቶች ለግርድና ስራ ወደ ኣረብ ኣገራት ተሰድደው በጭካኔ ሲገደሉ፣ ሲደፈሩና ያፈሩትን ጥሪት ሲነጠቁ በተደጋጋሚ ተሰምቷል። ኣንዳንዶቹ ምሬት ጠንቶባቸው ከፎቅ ላይ ራሳቸውን ወርዉረው ነፍሳቸውን እንዳጠፉም ይታወቃል። ከኣንድ ኣመት ገደማ በፊት ኣለም ደቻሳ የተባለች የኦሮሞ ተወላጅ በቤይሩት ጎዳና ላይ በኣገሬው ሰዎች እንደ እባብ ስትቀጠቀጥ የሚያሳይ ቪድዮ በ ዮቲዩብ መለቀቁ ይታወሳል። ኣለም በወቅቱ እነዚያ ኣረመኔ የኣረብ ወጣቶች የሴትነት ክብሯን ደፍረው እርቃኗን ጎዳና ለጎዳና እየጎተቱ ሲጫወቱባት እዚያ ኣገር የሚገኘው የወያኔ ኤምባሲ እንዲደርስላት እያለቀሰች ስትማፀን በዚያው ቪድዮ ላይ ተስምታለች። ኤምባሲው ግን ኣልደረሰላትም። የሚገርመው ደግሞ ኣለም ደቻሳ ላይ እንዲህ ያለው ዘግናኝ በደል የደረሰው የወያኔ ኤምባሲ ካለበት ሁለት መቶ ሜትሮች ብቻ ርቆ በሚገኝ ስፍራ ላይ መሆኑ ነው። የወያኔ መንግስት በዚህ ኣንገብጋቢ ጉዳይ ላይ የኣገሪቷን መንግስት የጠየቀው ነገር ኣልተሰማም።

በቅርቡም እንደሚታወቀው ሳዉዲ ኣረቢያ ውስጥ በስራ ላይ ተሰማርተው ይኖሩ በነበሩ የኢትዮጵያ ዜጎች ላይ ኣስነዋሪ የጭካኔ እርምጃዎች ለሳምንታት ሳይቁዋረጡ እየተወሰዱ ናቸው። በዚህም እርምጃ ቢያንስ የሶስት ዜጎች ህይወት ጠፍቷል። የሳውዲ ፖሊሶች ከኣገሬው ወጣቶች ጋር በመሆን ዜግነታቸው ከኢትዮጵያ በሆነ ስድተኞች ላይ የተለየ ኣስነዋሪ የጭካኔ ድርጊት ሲፈጽሙ በተቀረጸው የቪድዮ ምስል ታይተዋል። ይህ ሁሉ ሲሆን እነዚህ የሚደበደቡ፣ የሚገደሉና የሚደፈሩ ዜጎች የትውልድ ኣገር መንግስት የሆነው ወያኔ ኣፉን ሞልቶ ድርጊቱን ሲያወግዝ ኣልተሰማም።

እንደ ኢንዶኔዢያና ፊሊፒንስ ያሉ መንግስታት ዜጎቻቸው ከሳውዲ በሃይል መፈናቀላቸውን ተቃውመው ወዲያውኑ የቅሬታ መግለጫ በማውጣት የሳውዲን መንግስት ኣወገዙ። በሳውዲ የሚኖሩትን የሃገራቸው ስደተኛ ዜጎች ደህንነት ለማስጠበቅ ባላቸው ኣቅም ሁሉ እርምጃ ወሰዱ። የወያኔ መንግስት ግን እንዲህ ያለውን መንግስታዊ ሃላፊነት መወጣት ቀርቶ እንዲያውም የሳውዲን መንግስት ጸረ ሰብኣዊ መብት እርምጃ ለመደገፍ እየተሞዳሞደ መሆኑን በራሱ ላይ መስከረ። በኣገሩ ዜጎች ላይ ሳውዲ ውስጥ እየደረሰ ላለውና ኣለምን እያሳዘነ ለሚገኘው ውርደት ስሜት ኣልነበረውም። ወያኔ ዘንድ ዋጋ የሚያወጣው ለኣገሩ ዜጎች ክብር መቆም ሳይሆን ለሳውዲ ኢንቨስተሮች መሬት ሸጦ ኣልያም በነጻ ሸንሽኖ እየሰጣቸው በኣጸፋው በሚወረወርለት ጥቅማ ጥቅም የንዋይ ጥማቱን ማርካት ብቻ ነው። ዜጎች ኣገራቸው ላይ ሰርተው እንዳያድጉ በሰበብ ኣስባቡ ገፍቶ በማስወጣት እነርሱ ለቀው የሄዱለትን መሬት ዛሬ ዜጎቹን እየገደሉ ላሉት የኣረብ ጥጋበኞች ይቸበችባል። ይህ የኣንድ ጸረ ህዝብ መንግስት ትልቁ መለያ ምልክት ነው።

እንደ ሱዳን፣ የመን፣ ጅቡቲ፣ ሶማሊ ላንድ፣ ፑንት ላንድ፣ ኬንያና በመሳሰሉት ሃገራት ውስጥ ከረጅም ጊዜ በፊት ጀምሮ ከኢትዮጵያ በሄዱ ዜጎች ላይ የሚደርሰው የሞትና እንግልት ኣደጋ ተነግሮ የሚያልቅ ኣይደለም። ይህ ሁሉ ሲሆን ታዲያ የወያኔ መንግስት ከነዚያ የባእድ መንግስታት ጋር ተባብሮ ስደተኞቹን ማስገደል፣ ማሳሰርና ወደ ሃገር ቤት መልሶ ማሰቃየት ካልሆነ በስተቀር ዜጎቼ ብሎ ደርሶላቸው ኣያውቅም።

በጥቅሉ ሲታይ በባእድ ኣገራት ውስጥ በኦሮሞና ሌሎችም ብሄር ተወላጅ ስራ ፈላጊ ስደተኞች ላይ እየደረሰ ላለው ሰቆቃ ዋነኛ ተጠያቂው ባእዳኑ መንግስታት ሳይሆኑ ራሱ የወያኔ መንግስት ነው። በበርካታ ምክንያቶች ተጠያቂ ይሆናል። በመጀመሪያ ደረጃ ስደተኞቹን ገፍቶ ከሃገር እንዲወጡ በማድረጉ ይጠየቃል። በሁለተኛ ደረጃ ስደተኞቹ በደረሱባቸው ኣገራት ሰብኣዊ መብታቸው ተከብሮ እንዲሰሩ በኤምባሲዎቹ ኣማካኝነት ክትትል ባለማድረጉ ተጠያቂ ይሆናል። ሶስተኛ ደግሞ ስደተኞቹ በሚኖሩባቸው ኣገራት ሰብኣዊ መብቶቻቸውን ሲገፈፉ ፈጥኖ ደርሶላቸው ተገቢውን እርምጃ ኣለመውሰዱ ተጠያቂ ያደርገዋል።

ከሁሉም በላይ ግን ስራ ፈላጊዎቹ ዜጎች በገዛ ኣገራቸው ላይ ሰርተው ራሳቸውን እንዲችሉ በማበረታታት ምትክ ተስፋ ቆርጠው ስደትን እንዲመርጡ መገፋፋቱ ትልቅ መንግስታዊ ጉድለት ነው። ዜጎቹ ኣገራቸውን ለቀው ኣንዳይሄዱ ለማድረግ ከፖለቲካ ተጽእኖ ነጻ የሆነ የስራ እድል ማመቻቸት መንግስታዊ ሃላፊነቱ ነበረ። ሁሉም ዜጎች በሚኖሩባቸው ክልሎች ከማናቸውም የፖለቲካ ኣመለካከቶች ነጻ የሆነ ሰርቶ የመሻሻል እድል ማግኘት መብታቸው ነበር። ወያኔ ያንን የዜግነት መብታቸውን ቀማ። ለምሳሌ የኦሮሞ ተወላጆች በክልላቸው ኦሮምያ ውስጥ ባለው የተፈጥሮ ሃብት ተጠቅመው ሰርተው መሻሻል ይችሉ ነበር። በእርሻ፣ በከብት ርቢ፣ በንግድ እንዲሁም በሲቪል ኣገልግሎቶች መንግስታዊና መንግስታዊ ባልሆኑ መዋቅሮች ውስጥ ያላንዳች የፖለቲካ ተጽእኖ ተሰማርተው ራሳቸውንም ሆነ ኣገራቸውን መጥቀም ይችሉ ነበር። የወያኔ መንግስት ግን እነዚህን መሰል የስራ እድሎች ነጥቆኣቸው ለስደት ህይወት ዳረጋቸው። በስመ እንቬስተርነት የራሱን ካድሬዎችና ሰላዮች መልምሎ በሚሊዮን የሚቆጠር ገንዘብ ኣሸክሞ ክልሎች ላይ በማሰማራት የስራ እድሉን ነጠቃቸው።

የዚህ ችግር መንስኤ ራሱ የወያኔ መንግስት ኣድሎኣዊ ኣሰራር እስከሆነ ድረስ የችግሩ መፍትሄም በራስ ኣገር ላይ ሰርቶ የመኖርን መብት የቀማውን ስርኣት ታግሎ የራስን መብት ማስከበር ብቻ ነው። የነዚህ ስራ ፈላጊ ስደተኞች ችግር ላይ ላዩን ሲታይ የኢኮኖሚ ችግር ይምሰል እንጂ መሰረቱ ግን ኣገር ቤት ላይ የሚደርሰው የፖለቲካ ጫና መሆኑ ታውቆ የፖለቲካ መፍትሄ ሊያገኝ ይገባል። ጎሮቤት ኣገራትና መካከለኛው ምስራቅ ውስጥ ስራ ፍለጋ ሲንከራተቱ የተገደሉ፣ የተደበደቡ፣ ለኣካል ጉድለት የተዳረጉ፣ የታሰሩና በሃይል ተይዘው ወደ ኣገራቸው የተመለሱ የኦሮሞና ሌሎች ብሄሮች ተወላጅ የሆኑ ዜጎች በሙሉ ራሳቸውን መጠየቅ ያለባቸው ጥያቄም ይሄው ነው። ኦሮምያ ላይ ሌላው ሰርቶ በኣጭር ጊዜ ውስጥ ሚሊዮነር ሆነ ሲባል እኔ ለምን ኣገሬ ላይ ሰርቼ ማደግ ተሳነኝ? ለምን ለስደት ህይወት ተጋልጬ በባእድ ኣገር ላይ ተዋረኩ? የሚሉትን ጥያቄዎች ራሳቸውን ጠይቀው ምላሹንም ማግኘት ይገባቸዋል። የጥያቄዎቹ ሁሉ ምላሽም ግልጽ ነው። ከለምለሟ ኣባት ኣገራቸው ላይ ኣፈናቅሎ ለስደት የዳረጋቸውና ለራሱ ዘርፎ እየከበረበት ያለው ራሱ የወያኔ መንግስት ነው። ይሄ ምንም ጥርጥር የለውም። ይህን ሁኔታ ለመቀየር ታግሎ የሃገር ባለቤትነት መብት ማረጋገጥም ብቼኛው መፍትሄ ይሆናል።

“Black Day for Human Rights”: Global Outrage as UN Elects China, Cuba, Russia, Saudi Arabia to Top R

By UN Watch (Bio and Archives)  Tuesday, November 12, 2013 
Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us

GENEVA,—Today the UN General Assembly elected egregious human rights abusers China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Cuba, and Vietnam to the UN Human Rights Council, dealing a severe blow to the credibility and efficacy of a body that was supposed to improve on its discredited predecessor. (See below for reactions from parliamentarians.)

This is a black day for human rights,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, a Geneva-based non-governmental human rights group.

“Today the UN sent a message that politics trumps human rights, and it let down millions of victims worldwide who look to the world body for protection.”

According to a comprehensive report by UN Watch, the new Council member states perpetrate gross and systematic human rights abuses, including massive violations of the freedoms of speech, press, religion, and assembly. They were also found 

to oppose UN resolutions speaking out for victims of human rights abuses in Syria, Iran, and North Korea.

Nevertheless, these states were elected today despite the appeal of a coalition of EU lawmakers and human rights groups organized by UN Watch. Signatories included European Parliament Vice-President Edward McMillan-Scott, Member of Canadian Parliament Irwin Cotler, and Secretary General of the Parliamentary Forum for Democracy Matyas Eörsi. (See their statements below.)

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE COUNCIL

Today’s election results not only cast a dark shadow on the future of the Human Rights Council but also recall its recent past. In 2006, the Council was created to replace its morally corrupt predecessor, the Commission on Human Rights, which was criticized by former Secretary General Kofi Annan for its politicization and “declining credibility.”

Neuer said: “Despite the much-vaunted 2006 reform – which scrapped the discredited human rights commission and created a new and supposedly improved council — today’s election of the world’s worst human rights abusers means that we are back to square one. Instead of reform, we have regression.”

Neuer expects the following negative impacts:

• The Council will continue to turn a blind eye to egregious abuses by violators like China, Cuba, Egypt, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe, which have never been addressed in any UN resolution.
• Mechanisms meant to help victims will be hijacked by politicization and selectivity.
• The core principles of individual human rights will be subverted by concepts that increase power for governments.

REACTIONS OF PARLIAMENTARIANS

Parliamentary leaders who signed UN Watch’s appeal to oppose several countries’ HRC bids issued the following statements in response to today’s election outcome:

Irwin Cotler, MP
Member of Canadian Parliament, Liberal Party Critic for Rights & Freedoms, International Justice
Former Justice Minister & Attorney General
“The election of seven of the world’s worst human rights violators to the United Nations Human Rights Council is an assault on the UNHCR’s mandate to ‘uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.’ Indeed, the election of states - all designated as “Not Free” by Freedom House in its 2013 ‘Freedom in the World’ Report -mocks the struggle for human rights, betrays its victims, and validates the on-going violations of these rights in the name of the UN. The time is long overdue to sound the alarm and restore the UNHRC to its founding principle and ideals.”

Matyas Eörsi
Secretary General of the Parliamentary Forum for Democracy, former MP, Hungary
“The credibility of the UN already suffered serious damage when its Human Rights Committee was chaired by tyrant Gaddafi’s Libya. Countries disobeying human rights at home cannot be expected to obey human rights in the international arena. When I campaign against these countries to participate in the work of the Human Rights Council, I am fighting for the credibility of the UN.”

Edward McMillan-Scott, MEP
European Parliament Vice-President for Human Rights & Democracy
“Allowing China to become a member of the UN Human Rights Council calls into question the Council’s credibility. China’s human rights record is well-documented. Numerous reports by the UN itself have highlighted degrading and inhumane treatment that is routine in China: forcible abortions, religious persecution, the oppression of minorities, etc. Former UN Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak stated that the use of torture in China is “widespread”, and any attempts to discuss individual cases with the Chinese regime - such as that of disappeared but imprisoned human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng - are met with defiance, such as through the EU-China Human Rights Dialogue or any other such procedure.”

Ob. Jawar Mohammed on the Ongoing Assaults on Immigrants in the Gulf States … “We Must Take Back Our Homeland to End the Oromo National Homelessness” Sadaasa/November 14, 2013 · Gadaa.com From Ob. Jawar Mohammed’s Facebook page …

“We could ask foreign powers and do-gooders to throw us blankets to survive the cold, and leftover food to get by. But, we will still be back to the same destitution the next day or the one after. The only and lasting solution to this humiliating national homelessness is to take back our homeland. “
- Ob. Jawar Mohammed on how to end the Oromo national homelessness (i.e. the global Oromo refugee crisis)

The savage mobocratic attack on our people in Saudi Arabia is the culmination of the horrific stories of abuses we have been hearing over the last several years. From Alem Dachasa’s heartwrenching death in Lebanon in 2012 to the weekly news of maids killed by their employers in almost all Gulf countries to the mass-scale attacks perpetrated by the Saudi police and mobs, we are observing a worsening of the situation for our people in the region.

There appears to be three factors at play leading to this escalation. First, particularly in the Saudi case, instead of taking responsibilities for the extravagant waste of resources and unproductive economic policies that have resulted in the growing rate of unemployment, the Saudi government and media have been spreading blames on migrants taking away jobs. Consequently, the Saudi public has come to associate their economic hardship with ‘invasion of foreigners’ as their media like to frame the issue. Second, due to oppressive regimes that rule through exclusivist and exploitative economic conditions, the number of our refugees crossing the Red Sea has skyrocketed. The UNCHR reports show that between 100,000-120,000 refugees enter Yemen every year. Most, if not all, of these refugees aim their final destination to be Saudi Arabia. Third, that part of the world is still stuck in medieval racist views. Even before the latest xenophobic campaigns, they have been known for being cruel towards African migrants, particularly. I have heard endless tales of horrific racist rants and physical attacks against maids and laborers by their employers, the police and ordinary folks on the street. In fact, I can attest from experience that even the ‘most enlightened’ of them: diplomats, businessmen, students and princes still have a shockingly Darwinian view of humanity. The racism in that part of the world cannot be denied or excused. Its ugly face and nasty brutality are out there in full display. The latest racist outburst is nothing but a public display of what they have been subjecting our brothers and sisters in seclusion in their houses.

I anticipate each of these three factors to get worse in the near future. The social and political upheaval in the region following the Arab Spring, and the expected downward spiral of the economy are likely to further fuel xenophobia as regimes will continue to rely on externalizing internal these problems to remain in power. Sadly, I cannot foresee lots of practical solutions. For instance, the humanitarian approach(advocacy and refugee service type) is unlikely to work because the Saudis just do not have room for civil societies. A person I know tried to set up a shelter for the battered maids, but he spent over a year trying to get some sort of permit to no avail. One official actually told him in plain language that they had no law for such a permit. He then decided to host some of the worst affected in house he rented. An employer of one of the battered women, the very person who brutalized her, found out the place after extracting confession by torturing her friend. He then brought the police, which raided the place, arrested the Good Samaritan, returned some of the women to their tormenting employers and deported the rest. Even during the latest crisis, an elderly person who has lived there for over 40 years and supposedly well known to the authorities, went to appeal to the government to stop the violence. Instead of heeding to his plea, he was beaten up by the officials, arrested and awaiting deportation (despite having all the legal papers).

The other alternative, and perhaps more effective way, of helping them would have been the diplomatic channel. After the beheading of an Indonesian woman few years back, Jakarta responded strongly by threatening to severe economic and political ties. The Saudis gave in to the pressure, releasing hundreds of Indonesians from detentions. During the recent attack on migrants, Indonesians are said to be the least affected. However, when we come to the Ethiopian government, we are observing a reaction that borders endorsing the Saudi policy of mass violence. The foreign ministry and its diplomats downplayed the severity by blaming on social media’s exaggeration; they even tried to justify the crackdown saying the targets are only illegal immigrants. Notwithstanding the fact that the attack did not make such differentiation, whether they went there legally or illegally, a government has a solemn duty to stand up and defend its citizens, particularly when they come under attack by foreigners. Then, why is the Ethiopian government cozying up to the Saudis instead of siding with the victims?

This could be attributed to multitude of factors. First, over last year, the relationship between the Ethiopian regime and the Saudi-based immigrants has deteriorated. Triggered by the protest over violations of religious freedom, the immigrant community stood firm against the regime – refusing to buy and disrupting the so-called Abbay Bond sell. Hence, it’s understandable that the regime has little love for them. In fact, the regime stands to benefit from destabilization of such resourceful and near-to-home Diaspora that is increasingly falling into the opposition’s side. This is what’s consular officers have been signaling to elders who went to speak with them. Second, we shall recall the report that the Ethiopian rulers have reached an agreement with the Saudi government to send 45,000 maids ‘legally.’ Hence, the displacement of the rebellious ‘illegals’ will make room for the new ones who – because they will be recruited, vetted monitored by the regime’s agencies while in Saudi – are less likely to stand against it.

Finally, the vast majority of these brutalized refugees are Oromos (it is estimated that over half a million Oromo refugees reside in the Gulf States). The severity of the refugee crisis the Oromo nation is facing — from North Africa to South Africa, Kenya and the Middle East — is indicative of the severity of the repression and exploitation going on in our country. The past colonizers reduced our people to servitude. Back then, our people at least remained on their land even though they were robbed of most of their production. Today, our people are dispossessed of even that plot of land as the occupiers are giving it to their own and selling it to foreigners. Millions are internally displaced and have become urban squatters. Hundreds of thousands flee every year to escape political persecution and save their family from starvation by risking certain death while crossing the Red Sea and the African deserts. Put simply, as a nation, we have become homeless. No amount of humanitarian outreach and lobbying foreign charity can solve this problem for us. We could ask foreign powers and do-gooders to throw us blankets to survive the cold, and leftover food to get by. But, we will still be back to the same destitution the next day or the one after. The only and lasting solution to this humiliating national homelessness is to take back our homeland. This fact must sink.

Ethiopian man shot dead by Saudi police

An Ethiopian man has been killed by Saudi police officers as Riyadh continues its crackdown on migrants.

According to a statement released by Saudi police spokesman Nasser al-Qahtani on Wednesday, the man was killed in southern Riyadh on Tuesday. 

The Saudi government launched a crackdown on “illegal” migrants including workers early this year. Riyadh offered amnesty to allow the workers to legalize their stay. 

Expatriates account for around nine million of Saudi Arabia’s population of 28 million. 

Meanwhile, Filipino workers deported from Saudi Arabia say they have been abused and treated “like animals” by Saudi authorities. 

Thirty Filipino workers, who returned to Manila on Monday, revealed details of their ordeal during their stay in Saudi Arabia.

“They treated us like animals,” said 46-year-old domestic helper Amor Roxas. 

Saudi police rounded up the workers in a crowded cell for four days before they were allowed to return home, Roxas stated. 

Yvonne Montefeo, another worker, said, “Our feet were chained.” 

According to Migrante International, a support group for overseas Filipino workers, the immigrants were among an estimated 6,700 Filipinos stranded in parts of Saudi Arabia for the lack of documents. 

The group warned that the Filipinos “are in danger of being violently dispersed, arrested and detained by Saudi authorities.”

ኢትዮጵያ፣ የቦምብ ፍንዳታ እና ማስጠንቀቂያው

ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ የሽብር ጥቃቶች ሊደርሱ ይችላሉ በሚል የጸጥታ ኃይሎች በተጠንቀቅ እንዲቆሙ በታዘዙበት በኣሁኑ ወቅት በቤኒሻንጉል ጉሙዝ ክልል በኣንድ የህዝብ ማመላለሻ ተሽከርካሪ ላይ በፈነዳ ቦምብ አራት ሰዎች መሞታቸው ተዘገበ።

ከሶስት ሳምንታት በፊት የኢትዮጵያ ብሔራዊ ቡድን ላዓለም ዋንጫ ማጣሪያ አዲስ ኣበባ ላይ ከናይጄሪያው ቡድን ጋር በሚጫወትበት ዕለት ጥቃት ለማድረስ ሲዘጋጁ ነበር የተባሉ ሁለት የሶማሊያ ኣጥፍቶ ጠፊዎች በራሳቸው ቦምብ መሞታቸው ይታወሳል።

ከዚሁ ጋር ተያይዞ ህብረተሰቡም ጥንቃቄ እንዲያደርግ መንግስት እያሳሰበ ሲሆን የጥንቃቄ ማስጠንቀቂያውን ተከትሎም በተለያዩ አካባቢዎች የጸጥታ ቁጥጥሩ መጠናከሩም ተሰምቷል።

የዛሬ ሶስት ሳምንታት ገደማ መሆኑ ነው የኢትዮጵያ የእግር ኩዋስ ብሔራዊ ቡድን ለዓለም ዋንጫ ማጣሪያ አዲስ ኣበባ ላይ ከናይጄሪያው ብ/ቡድን ጋር በሚጫወትበት ዕለት ጥቃት ለማድረስ ሲሞክሩ ነበር የተባሉ ሁለት የሶማሊያ ኣጥፍቶ ጠፊዎች የራሳቸው ቦምብ ፈንድቶባቸው ከቤታቸው ሳይወጡ መሞታቸውን የኢትዮጵያ ፖሊስ ኣስታውቆ ነበር። ይኽንኑ ተከትሎ የኢትዮጵያ የደህንነትና ጸጥታ ባለስልጣናት ኣልሸባብ በአዲስ ኣበባ እና በተለያዩ የኣገሪቱ አካባቢዎች ጥቃት ለማድረስ እየተዘጋጀ መሆኑን በመግለጽ የፖሊስ እና ጸጥታ ኃይሎች በተጠንቀቅ እንዲቆሙ ማዘዛቸውን ገልጿል።

ባለፈው ማክሰኞ ደግሞ በቤንሻንጉል ጉሙዝ ክልል ሰኞ ገበያ በተባለ ስፍራ በህዝብ ማማላለሻ ሚኒባስ ተሽከርካሪ ላይ የፈነዳ ቦምብ አራት ሰዎችን መግደሉ ተዘግቧል። የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት ከኣልሸባብ በተጨማሪም በኤርትራ መንግስት ይደገፋሉ የሚላቸውን ሌሎች በኣገር ውስጥ የሚንቀሳቀሱ ተቃዋሚዎችን ከሽብር ጥቃት ጋር ኣያይዞ ሲወነጅል መቆየቱም ኣይዘነጋም።

የፊታችን ህዳር 29 ቀን በጅጅጋ ከተማ ይከበራል ተብሎ ከሚጠበቀው ዓመታዊ የብ/ብ/ ቀን ጋር በተያያዘ ዓማጺው የኦጋዴን ነጻ ኣውጪ ግንባር ጥቃት ሊያደርስ ይችላል በሚል በጅጅጋ ከተማ እና በአካባቢው የጸጥታ ቁጥጥሩ እጅግ መጠናከሩ ሲታወቅ በጅጅጋ ጎዳናዎች ላይ በየ 50 ሜትሩ ሰዎች በፍተሻ እንደሚዋከቡና ካለፉት ጥቂት ቀናት ወዲህ ደግሞ በጅጅጋ ከተማ የቤት ለቤት ፍተሻም እየተካሄደ መሆኑ ተሰምቷል።

በተቀሩት የኣገሪቱ ኣካባቢዎችም ህዝቡ የጸጉረ ልውጥ ሰዎች እንቅስቃሴን እየተከታተለ ለመንግስት እንዲጠቁም እና በተለይ የሆቴሎች አልጋ ኣከራዮችና በየመንደሩ ያሉ ቤት ኣከራዮችም ከፍተኛ ጥንቃቄ እያደረጉ የተለየ ነገር ሲያጋጥም ወዲያውኑ ለመንግስት እንዲያሳውቁ መንግስት ኣሳስቧል።

ስለዚሁ ጉዳይ እንዲያብራሩልን የኢትዮጵያው የኮሞኒኬሺን ጉዳዮች ሚኒስትር ዲዔታ አቶ ሽመልስ ከማል ዘንድ ስልክ ደውለን ነበር። ፈቃደኛ ግን ኣልነበሩም። የኮሚኒኬሺን ጉዳዮች ሞኒስትሩ አቶ ሪድዋን ሁሴን ግን ለመንግስታዊው የኢትዮጵያ ቴሌቪዢን እንደገለጹት መንግስታቸው የሽብር ጥቃት መታቀዱን መረጃ ማግኘቱን ኣውስተው ህዝቡ ጥንቃቄ በማድረግ እና ለመንግስት ጥቆማ በማቅረብ እንዲተባበራቸው ጥሪ ኣድርጘል።ሆኖም ግን ከጥንቃቄ ያለፈ ህብረተሰቡ ተሸብሮ የዕለት ተለት እንቅስቃሴውን እንዲያቆም የሚያስገድድ ነገር ኣለመኖሩንም አቶ ርድዋን ኣስረድቷል።

በኣልሸባብ እና በኢትዮጵያ መንግስት መካከል ፍጥጫ መኖሩ ኣይካድም የሚሉት የፖለቲካ ተንታኙ አቶ ጀዋር መሃመድ የኣሁኑ የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት ማስጠንቀቂያና መግለጫ አዲስ ነገር የለውም ይላሉ። እንደ አቶ ጀዋር ይህ የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት ተቀናቃኞቹን ለማሰር እና የፖለቲካ ትርፍ ለመሸመት የሚጠቀምበት የተለመደ የፕሮፓጋንዳ ስልት ነው።

በዩኤስ አሜሪካ ኒውዮርክ ከተማ በኮሎምቢያ ዩኒቨርሲቲ የፒኤችዲ ጥናት በማድረግ ላይ የሚገኙት አቲ ጀዋር መሐመድ ከወዲሁ ማስተካከያ ካልተበጀለት የዚህ ኣይነቱ ኣካሄድ አደጋም ኣለው ባይ ናቸው። ምክኒያቱም አቶ ጀዋር እንደሚሉት ተጨባጭ ነገር ሳይኖር ጥቃት ሊፈጸም ነው እየተባለ ህዝቡ የተለመደ የመንግስት ፕሮፓጋንዳ ነው እያለ በተዘናጋበት ኣጋጣሚ እውነተኛው የሽብር ጥቃት በተቃጣ ጊዜ መንግስት ከጎኑ የሚቆምለት ህዝብ ያጣል። አደጋውም የከፋ ይሆናል።

ባሳለፍነው ወር የአልሸባብ ታጣቂዎች በኬኒያ ናይሮቢ በሚገኘው የዌስት ጌት የበያ ማዕከል ላይ በጣሉት ጥቃት 67 ንጹኃን ዜጎች መገደላቸው የሚታወስ ሲሆን እ ኣ ዘ ኣ በ 2010 በጎረቤት ኡጋንዳ የዓለም ዋንጫ ጫወታን ለመከታተል በታደሙ ዜጎች ላይ በደረሰ የቢምብ ፍንዳታም እንዲሁ 74 ያህል ሰዎች መሞታቸው ኣይዘነጋም።
