Conducting elections while major political opponents are in prison owing to their political view is murder to democracy. Financing @NEBEthiopia is standing in solidarity with the killing of democracy. @SecBlinken, do not support. #OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice Share on X

There is an estimate, 50,000+ political prisoners RIGHT NOW in Oromia, Ethiopia. Every day, the Ethiopian regime continues arresting, torturing, killing, raping and harrassing innocent civilians. #OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice @Amnesty @SecBlinken @EU_Council @Reuters Share on X

Oromos around the globe began an Oromo Yellow Movement in solidarity with political prisoners, hence the prison jumpsuits are yellow. On January 27, approximately 100 individuals were arrested for simply wearing yellow clothing in solidarity. #OromoProtests… Share on X

There is war happening in many parts of Oromia, and state terror has become commonplace throughout Ethiopia. Stop the war on Oromia, #OromoProtests. There is a crisis in Oromia, Ethiopia. #OromoProtestsCC: @SenBlinken @Amnesty @UN_Council @Reuters @AJEnglish @CNN Share on X

Did you know? The civil war waged by Abiy Ahmed (@AbiyAhmedAli) in November hasn't occurred in a vacuum? Abiy has been at long-standing war in Oromia. #OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice @Amnesty @Reuters @AP @TomGardner18 @ptr_yeung @hrw @EUCouncil Share on X

'This is an ideological war. Through brutal rule, Abiy Ahmed seeks to eliminate opposition, impose a unitary Ethiopianist vision, & strip Oromia & other nations/ nationalities of their rights to self-determination.' @oromoprotestsHQ#OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice… Share on X

Abuses have ramped up over the last 8 months, as @PMEthiopia brutally cracked down on dissent, arresting ALL major opposition, shutting down media, and indefinitely delaying elections past the constitutional mandate. End violations in Oromia, #OromoProtests. #StarvingForJustice Share on X

The #OromoProtests movement is rooted in non-violent protest which denounce the Ethiopian governments systemic oppression and deliberate marginalization of the Oromo & underrepresented nations & nationalities. #StarvingForJustice @Amnesty @AP @SecBlinken Share on X

@AbiyAhmedAli's political vision denies the Oromos and other groups their constitutional right to exist as autonomous nations. Abiy has become Ethiopia's first Nobel Peace Prize winner dictator. End the war in Oromia, #OromoProtests! #StarvingForJustice @Amnesty @SecBlinken Share on X

@AbiyAhmedAli idolizes perpetrators of historical injustice & violence. He spent $170 million renovating Menelik's Palace & glorifying his brutal legacy of genocide & colonization. #OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice @Reuters @AP @SecBlinken Share on X

Abiy stated on state-owned media, 'We've got to show them what war is. No matter who dies, What we start won't stop.' Abiy's military employs killings, brutal beatings, & arbitrary arrests to continue silencing Oromos & now Tegaru. #OromoProtests #StarvingForJustice Share on X

.@Jawar_Mohammed et al have not committed a crime. They face trumped-up charges. Tell the tyrant @AbiyAhmedAli to #FreeAllOromoPoliticalPrisoners. #NationalDialogueNow #OromoProtests @SecBlinken @Ilhan @RepGregoryMeeks @RepAdamSmith Share on X

The Ethiopian government continues to suppress and oppress the Oromo people by shutting down internet/telecom services and shooting live bullets at citizens who wish to exercise their rights. The people demand a #NationalDialogueNow. #OromoProtests @AP_Africa @Reuters Share on X

A generation of strong-willed citizens are ready to give up their lives for a better country for the generations to come. Oromos refuse to have our children inherit the intergenerational trauma. It stops here. We demand a #NationalDialogueNow. #OromoProtests @AP_Africa @Reuters Share on X

Abiy started his war on the #Oromo people by attempting to “eliminate” nonviolent, unarmed Oromo opposition leaders, activists, journalists, artists, & civilians. @AbiyAhmedAli & co have now continued that war in Tigray. We demand a #NationalDialogueNow! #OromoProtests Share on X
