Afar Human Rights Organization stands for freedom and justice of the oppressed and marginalized people of Ethiopia. The protests across Oromia region by peaceful students and public at large against land grab and eviction of Oromo farmers is being met by brutal crackdown of the EPRDF regime. The current killings are arrogant repetition of the brutal massacre of peaceful protestors in the region throughout May 2014 by the regime.
The people across Oromia have spoken clearly and said NO! No eviction of Oromo farmers. The people of Afar said No! No to the involuntary eviction from the banks of river awash-its life line. The people across Ethiopia are saying NO to repression. Tantalizing actions of EPRDF are being repealed and peacefully resisted by the people across the nation using principled and undeterred peaceful protests.
Afar Human Rights organization express its solidarity with our brothers and sisters of Oromo protestors in their struggle for protection of basic human rights. The quests of the protestors are within international laws and norms to demand basic human rights. AHRO demand an immediate end to the killing of peaceful Oromo protestors. AHRO urge the EPRDF regime to stop killing and massacring peaceful protestors and express our deepest condolences for victim families who are enduring persistent pain and sufferings for the lives lost by the barbaric actions of EPRDF.
In this defining time, AHRO call up on all Ethiopian people to stand in solidarity and join the struggle for democracy in Ethiopia in union with our Oromo brothers and Sisters. The struggle of Oromo is part of the struggle of Ethiopian people for genuine democracy and protection of Human Rights. Killing and torturing Oromo students and farmers will stop the desire for basic human and democratic rights rather will unite the people against our common oppressor.
AHRO call upon all political parties and civic organizations in Ethiopia to come together and reach an agreement where the future of our nation and the people envisions prevalence of democracy, protection of human rights, freedom and unity.
