Prior to colonization of Oromia, the present day Addis Ababa had an Oromo name – Finfinne.The name attests the abundance of hot springs (“hora” in Oromiffa) at the heart of the city, where cattle flourished. The area was solely inhabited by Oromo clans of Gulale, Eekka, Galan, Abbichu and was divided into 12 counties or districts: Each county was being administered by the local clan chiefs: like Tufa Muna and Dula Harra’and others. , Jima Jatani, Guto Wasarbi , Jima Tikse t, Abeebe Tufa, Waree Golole, Tufa Araddo and Mojo Boxora.During the late 18th and early 19th Century, the neighbouring Amhara community were wedging incessant predatory raids and looting expeditions against these people. Some of these barbaric raids were documented by Major W. C. Harris a British diplomatic mission in his book “The Highlands of Aethiopia (1844)”. In one of his vivid description he wrote”…rolling on like the mighty waves of the ocean, down poured the Amhara host among the rich glades and rural hamlets, at the heels of the flying inhabitants—tramping under foot the fields of the ripening corn, and sweeping before them the vast herds of cattle which grazed untended in every direction. When far beyond the range of vision, their destructive progress was still marked by the red flames that burst forth in turn from the thatched roofs of each village… they poured impetuously down the steep side of the mountain, and swept across the level …the troops, animated by the presence of the monarch, now performed their bloody work with a sharp and unsparing knife—firing village after village until the air was dark with their smoke mingled with the dust raised by the impetuous rush of man and horse.”“The unfortunate inhabitants, taken by surprise, had barely time but to abandon their property, and fly [flee] for their lives.The spear of the warrior searched every bush for the hunted foe. Women and girls were torn from their hiding to be hurried into helpless captivity Old men and young were indiscriminately slain and mutilated among the fields and groves; flocks and herds were driven off in triumph, and house after house was sacked and consigned to the flamesSuch acts continued albeit at differing degrees by all the successive leaders of that country against the indigenous people that fell under their barbaric rule. Haile Melekot, Menilik, and then Haile Sellassie all perpetrated these similar inhuman deeds against Oromo people in Finfine.The remaining part of Oromia came under Abyssinian colonial subjugation through similar barbaric acts of pillaging and butchery. Millions of Oromos were killed, brutally mutilated or sold as slaves during the wars of conquest. Oromo land was apportioned among royal family, the church and the military personnel and the Oromos were forced to serve them as serfs on their own land. At the height of Haileselassie regime, the royal family and the nobility owned over 50% of Oromo land and 33% belonged to the Ethiopian Orthodox church.After the 1960s, Finfinne went through changes of migration that brought about the population explosion from 40,000 in 1900, to over 3 million at the end of the century. Today Finfinne (Addis Ababa) is a headquarters of many international organizations like African Unity (AU) and ECA; and different agencies like UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, FAO, ILF, ICO and ITU . It also hosts some 70 embassies and consular representatives. It is the main administrative, industrial and trade centre, In addition, the city is the centre of the nation’s service and finance sectors.Nevertheless, the city expanded through forced displacement and eviction of indigenous Oromo farmers without compensation. Most were resettled in remote areas infested with Malaria and other infectious diseases. Deforestation, air pollution and particularly of water from poor waste disposal system and disease and destruction of the cultural and religious relics of Oromo people are the reward these indigenous people in Finfine got from the growth of the City.The indigenous Oromo people attach a special significance to Finfinne, it is the heart land of Oromia where most of cultural sites for the major Gada gathering from all over Oromia take place: Oda Nabe,In due recognition all these, the constitutional grants special rights to the people of Oromia, but the current repressive EPRDF regime more so aggravated life of the indigenous people through systematic decimation and uprooting of the indigenous from its place of abode in Finfine.The EPRDF and FinfinneAfter the fall of the Military regime in May 1991, a new constitution that was based on the respect of the rights of nations and nationalities to self-determination, and regional autonomy and decentralisation based on linguistic and territorial settlement was drafted. Above all the special right of the Oromo people and Oromia over Finfinne was ascertained and its boundaries delimited.However in 2000, the EPRDF passed unconstitutional resolution to move the capital city of Oromia from Addis Ababa to Adama. The resolution was unanimously opposed by the Oromo people from all corners of Oromia and all walks of life.Current developments and consequencesFollowing this move, a peaceful demonstration was organised by the Macca and Tullam self help Association. The association declared openly the move as illegal and unconstitutional, because it opposes the federal constitution which recognizes Finfinne as the Capital city of Oromia.The brutality of the police that day, characterized the genetic code of EPRDF government against the indigenous peoples. Peaceful demonstrators were rounded up at different outposts of the city and beaten up severely by government security forces. Many, including elderly and women demonstrators were detained and humiliated. Consequent to this, five hundred University students were rounded up by police and were jailed in Kolfe- in police training camp. They were physically and psychologically tortured and 360 Oromo students were expelled from the University without any explanation.The protest against suspension of the university students and the change of the capital city was followed by widespread unrest all over Oromia mainly in the Universities and high schools for more than two months. Untold property and life were lost in the process. Most schools in Oromia were closed and were converted in to detention centres. Thousands of students and teachers even parents were put under arrest. Students were killed in towns like Ambo, Ginchi and Tukur Inchinni, Gimbi, Nakemte, Bushoftu and Maqi. Several hundreds were kidnapped and their where about still unknown.To further aggravate the situation of Oromo people in the Empire the only self-help association which was established in all respect of the constitution and laws of the country, the Macca and Tullama Association was banned, its leaders imprisoned and all its belongings were confiscated by the Government Police. The Macha and Tulama Association (MTA) is a civic organization established to promote socio-economic development in Oromia. It is not even a political organisation poised for election, but yet did not escape the heavy and harsh hand of EPRDF police.To further add insult to the injury a religious organisations of Oromo’s –The Waqeffannaa Association (Monotheist religion similar mainly to Christianity and Islam) was banned and closed. This is also completely unconstitutional and illegal in that the state and religions are separate according to the constitution.As I am reporting this gross human right violation I have just received a report that some of the University students who escaped expulsion were barred from graduation after completion of their studies by force of Meles Zenawi. This is just naked apartheid.Conclusions and recommendationsSuccessive Ethiopian governments have attempted to completely eradicate the existence and the identity of the Oromo people and other southern nations and nationalities. Particularly indigenous Oromo’s living in the surroundings of Finfinne has suffered the most and was made landless consequently forced for resettlement in hostile environments. Gross abuses of human rights are common place on Oromo’s in and around Finfine for they are the natural owners of the country from the time immemorial. The brutal activity of the rulers who all come from the north have aggravated and reached a level where human right abuses are a daily ordeal of the Oromo community in general. If these inhuman activities of the Government of Ethiopia are not averted in time, it could lead to a kind of genocide seen in parts of Africa like Darfur or Rwanda. Genocide of similar nature has already taken place in western parts of Ethiopia against the people of Gambella and Anuak as witnessed by the world community.I request the world community to stand in unison against such repressive regimes and uphold the right of the indigenous people who in most the case are defenseless and have little means to protect their right to exist because of indomitable greediness prevalent in some settler communities

She began to stand out in races organised at her school, and she quickly expanded her focus to a national level.In 1989, she participated in the World Cross Country Championships in Stavanger (Norway), where she finished 23rd. A few years later, in the 1992 edition held in Amberes, she won the silver medal, becoming the first African woman to win a medal in these championships.In 1991, she participated in the Tokyo World Championship, her first major competition, where she finished eighth in the 10,000 metres. The following year, she earned her crowning at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games when she won the gold medal in the 10,000 metres, becoming the first Sub-Saharan African woman to win an Olympic gold medal.A knee injury kept her away from competition until 1995, when she was proclaimed the cross country world champion in Durham, England.In 2000, she participated in the Sydney Olympic Games, where she earned the god medal while achieving her best personal time and setting a new Olympic record of 30:17:49. The following year, she was the winner of the London Marathon, and then won her first world title in 10,000 metres at the Edmonton World Championship, what was practically the only achievement remaining for her to win.At the age of 32, without anyone believing in her, she dared to participate in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, where she won a well-deserved bronze medal.Derartu Tulu is considered to be the pioneer of the current domination of female African runners, especially Ethiopian. She is one of the best long distance runners in history, and she was also the first Sub-Saharan African athlete to achieve major results on an international level.A member of the Oromo ethnic group, Derartu Tulu grew up tending cattle in the Arsi highlands of Ethiopia. She did not realize that she was an unusually fast runner until she was 16 years old.𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮In the 10,000m final at the 1992 Olympic Games, Elana Meyer of South Africa pulled away from the field after 6,100m and only Tulu was able to keep pace with her. Meyer tried to force Tulu to pass her, but Tulu refused. Finally, just before the start of the last lap, Tulu darted into the lead and went on to win by 30 metres. She waited for Meyer at the finish line, and then Tulu, the first black African woman to earn an Olympic medal, and Meyer, a white South African, set off hand in hand for a victory lap that symbolized hope for a new Africa.Two Ethiopians on the podium, twice Tulu returned to the Olympic in 1996, but finished a disappointing fourth. However, her running career was far from over. At the 2000 Sydney Games, Tulu again entered the 10,000m. Regaining her form of eight years earlier, she took the lead at the bell signalling the final lap and sprinted ahead to a clear victory over teammate Gete Wami. Tulu became the first woman to win two gold medals in Olympic distance races. At the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, she won the bronze medal in the 10,000m (gold medallist was China’s Huina Xing, silver medallist, Derartu’s compatriot Ejegayehu Dibaba).

The E.thiopians went to war with dangerous a.nimals and insects such as bees, wasps, lions, or cheetahs trained to capture the soldiers of the e.nemy camp, which enabled them to win all the wars of colonization against them and to be the only country in the world to have never been colonized. At the battle of Adwa Ethiopian warriors skilled in sword fighting called Shotel destroyed the invading Italian soldiers in hand to hand combat. The Battle of Adwa was the climactic battle of the First Italo-Ethiopian War. The Ethiopian forces defeated the Italian invading force on Sunday 1 March 1896, near the town of Adwa. The decisive victory thwarted the campaign of the Kingdom of Italy to expand its colonial empire in the Horn of Africa. The Ethiopians surrounded the Italians for two weeks and, upon Empress Tayitu’s advice, cut off the fort’s water supply. The Italian commander agreed to surrender if they would be allowed to leave with their firearms. Menelik agreed that they could leave the garrison unharmed.

Continue reading The history of Finfinne (Addis Ababa) in a way reflects the way the Oromo people were conquered, robbed off their land and properties, reduced to serfs and slaves, and kept under inhuman subjugation. Prior to colonization of Oromia, the present day Addis Ababa had an Oromo name – Finfinne.The name attests the abundance of hot springs (“hora” in Oromiffa) at the heart of the city, where cattle flourished. The area was solely inhabited by Oromo clans of Gulale, Eekka, Galan, Abbichu and was divided into 12 counties or districts: Each county was being administered by the local clan chiefs: like Tufa Muna and Dula Harra’and others. , Jima Jatani, Guto Wasarbi , Jima Tikse t, Abeebe Tufa, Waree Golole, Tufa Araddo and Mojo Boxora.During the late 18th and early 19th Century, the neighbouring Amhara community were wedging incessant predatory raids and looting expeditions against these people. Some of these barbaric raids were documented by Major W. C. Harris a British diplomatic mission in his book “The Highlands of Aethiopia (1844)”. In one of his vivid description he wrote”…rolling on like the mighty waves of the ocean, down poured the Amhara host among the rich glades and rural hamlets, at the heels of the flying inhabitants—tramping under foot the fields of the ripening corn, and sweeping before them the vast herds of cattle which grazed untended in every direction. When far beyond the range of vision, their destructive progress was still marked by the red flames that burst forth in turn from the thatched roofs of each village… they poured impetuously down the steep side of the mountain, and swept across the level …the troops, animated by the presence of the monarch, now performed their bloody work with a sharp and unsparing knife—firing village after village until the air was dark with their smoke mingled with the dust raised by the impetuous rush of man and horse.”“The unfortunate inhabitants, taken by surprise, had barely time but to abandon their property, and fly [flee] for their lives.The spear of the warrior searched every bush for the hunted foe. Women and girls were torn from their hiding to be hurried into helpless captivity Old men and young were indiscriminately slain and mutilated among the fields and groves; flocks and herds were driven off in triumph, and house after house was sacked and consigned to the flamesSuch acts continued albeit at differing degrees by all the successive leaders of that country against the indigenous people that fell under their barbaric rule. Haile Melekot, Menilik, and then Haile Sellassie all perpetrated these similar inhuman deeds against Oromo people in Finfine.The remaining part of Oromia came under Abyssinian colonial subjugation through similar barbaric acts of pillaging and butchery. Millions of Oromos were killed, brutally mutilated or sold as slaves during the wars of conquest. Oromo land was apportioned among royal family, the church and the military personnel and the Oromos were forced to serve them as serfs on their own land. At the height of Haileselassie regime, the royal family and the nobility owned over 50% of Oromo land and 33% belonged to the Ethiopian Orthodox church.After the 1960s, Finfinne went through changes of migration that brought about the population explosion from 40,000 in 1900, to over 3 million at the end of the century. Today Finfinne (Addis Ababa) is a headquarters of many international organizations like African Unity (AU) and ECA; and different agencies like UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, FAO, ILF, ICO and ITU . It also hosts some 70 embassies and consular representatives. It is the main administrative, industrial and trade centre, In addition, the city is the centre of the nation’s service and finance sectors.Nevertheless, the city expanded through forced displacement and eviction of indigenous Oromo farmers without compensation. Most were resettled in remote areas infested with Malaria and other infectious diseases. Deforestation, air pollution and particularly of water from poor waste disposal system and disease and destruction of the cultural and religious relics of Oromo people are the reward these indigenous people in Finfine got from the growth of the City.The indigenous Oromo people attach a special significance to Finfinne, it is the heart land of Oromia where most of cultural sites for the major Gada gathering from all over Oromia take place: Oda Nabe,In due recognition all these, the constitutional grants special rights to the people of Oromia, but the current repressive EPRDF regime more so aggravated life of the indigenous people through systematic decimation and uprooting of the indigenous from its place of abode in Finfine.The EPRDF and FinfinneAfter the fall of the Military regime in May 1991, a new constitution that was based on the respect of the rights of nations and nationalities to self-determination, and regional autonomy and decentralisation based on linguistic and territorial settlement was drafted. Above all the special right of the Oromo people and Oromia over Finfinne was ascertained and its boundaries delimited.However in 2000, the EPRDF passed unconstitutional resolution to move the capital city of Oromia from Addis Ababa to Adama. The resolution was unanimously opposed by the Oromo people from all corners of Oromia and all walks of life.Current developments and consequencesFollowing this move, a peaceful demonstration was organised by the Macca and Tullam self help Association. The association declared openly the move as illegal and unconstitutional, because it opposes the federal constitution which recognizes Finfinne as the Capital city of Oromia.The brutality of the police that day, characterized the genetic code of EPRDF government against the indigenous peoples. Peaceful demonstrators were rounded up at different outposts of the city and beaten up severely by government security forces. Many, including elderly and women demonstrators were detained and humiliated. Consequent to this, five hundred University students were rounded up by police and were jailed in Kolfe- in police training camp. They were physically and psychologically tortured and 360 Oromo students were expelled from the University without any explanation.The protest against suspension of the university students and the change of the capital city was followed by widespread unrest all over Oromia mainly in the Universities and high schools for more than two months. Untold property and life were lost in the process. Most schools in Oromia were closed and were converted in to detention centres. Thousands of students and teachers even parents were put under arrest. Students were killed in towns like Ambo, Ginchi and Tukur Inchinni, Gimbi, Nakemte, Bushoftu and Maqi. Several hundreds were kidnapped and their where about still unknown.To further aggravate the situation of Oromo people in the Empire the only self-help association which was established in all respect of the constitution and laws of the country, the Macca and Tullama Association was banned, its leaders imprisoned and all its belongings were confiscated by the Government Police. The Macha and Tulama Association (MTA) is a civic organization established to promote socio-economic development in Oromia. It is not even a political organisation poised for election, but yet did not escape the heavy and harsh hand of EPRDF police.To further add insult to the injury a religious organisations of Oromo’s –The Waqeffannaa Association (Monotheist religion similar mainly to Christianity and Islam) was banned and closed.
