A press release given by the Oromo Federal Congress (OFCO) regarding the recent killings on citizens.
For the past three years, the wars and conflicts that have been going on in different parts of Oromia and Ethiopia as a whole have caused the death, suffering and displacement of innocent people. Since June 11, 2014, in Oromia region west welega zone Gimbi district Tole kebele hundreds of innocent people have been killed. Many of the dead are women and Persistence Evidence shows that they are true. When the government accuses the Oromo Liberation Army of this mass killing, the armed group will also kill the government armed forces.
The horrific killings committed by the armed forces outside the government that have disturbed the public’s conscience at different times have been recorded on video and posted on social media. However, there is no action to control these heinous acts, to catch the perpetrators or to bring them to justice. For example, in the first week of December 2014 in Men As the gist was under here The brutal killing of OLF Shene members in Amhara region, Dawa Chafa Woreda, where the security forces of Menelik committed by removing people from cars that they claimed to be OLF members was recorded on video and presented by Ethiopian Human Rights Commission but no legal action taken is yet known.
As the OFCO leaders, we believe that there is no political gain or victory that can be gained by shedding the blood of innocent people. We condemn any kind of attacks on innocent people. We strongly believe that people from other ethnic groups living in Oromia should get protection and full insurance for their life and property just like any other resident of the region. In this step, Oromia National region And the federal government should be able to do it without discharging their responsibilities.
As OFC has repeatedly called for independent investigation of killings in different parts of the country and the perpetrators to be brought to justice, all the forces involved in the massacre of innocent people should be investigated and made public, and the perpetrators should be brought to justice. We express our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives and were hurt by the attack. Condolences to his family and friends. We urge immediate measures to be taken to stabilize and stabilize the survivors of the attack.
We understand that the war that is going on in the country is either directly or indirectly due to the attacks and killings of innocent people. Therefore, we urge the forces that have entered the war due to political differences to narrow their differences and negotiate to solve their problems peacefully.
