Ethiopia: Top human rights watchdog investigates Ethiopia and Botswana

November 27, 2013 (Survival International) – The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), the region’s top human rights body, has called for the forced relocation of thousands of tribal people in Ethiopia to be halted, and has raised concerns over the denial of rights of Botswana’s Bushmen.

The Commission urged Ethiopia to stop the forced resettlement of the Lower Omo Valley tribes to make way for vast plantations, while it investigates allegations of human rights violations.

Ethiopia Push to Lure Farm Investment Falters on Flood Plain

November 25, 2013 (Bloomberg BusinessWeek) — Gleaming Deere & Co. (DE:US) tractors and harvesters are sitting idle five years after Karuturi Global Ltd. (KARG) opened a farm in Ethiopia that was hailed as the poster child of the country’s plan to triple food exports by 2015.

Eighty percent of the Bangalore-based company’s land in the southwestern Gambella region is in a flood plain, meaning its 100,000-hectare (247,100-acre) concession is inundated by the Baro River for up to seven months of the year, according to Managing Director Ramakrishna Karuturi. The company was unaware of the extent of the flooding when it leased the land, he said.

“Karuturi, like many other large-scale investors, underestimated the complexity of opening land for large-scale commercial agriculture,” Philipp Baumgartner, a researcher at the Bonn, Germany-based Center for Development Research who wrote a doctoral thesis on agriculture in Gambella, said in a Nov. 20 response to e-mailed questions. “The land leased out wasn’t properly assessed by either of the contracting parties.”

The Oromoo Cultural Principles: First among Equals

  By Iddoosaa Ejjetaa*                                                         | November 24, 2013

Introduction

Culture is a manifestation of collective experience, achievements in the form of art, custom, social institution, belief system, and etc. To understand a culture is understanding a society. Culture may change as the needs for a society change or/and as a society goes through a process of cultural destruction caused by external or/and internal factors. The primary goal of colonialism is destroying identity by taking a direct attack on indigenous people’s cultural identities: social and cultural institutions, religious symbols, moral and aesthetics values and indigenous knowledge.

Extraordinary Ethiopia – ancient, booming but undemocratic

By Richard Dowden

November 22, 2013 (Rainbow Ethiopia)) — When you say to people in Britain: “I’ve just been in Ethiopia”, they give you a look which says: “Poor you. Was it too terrible to talk about?”

That is the trouble with the modern media. Faraway places of which we know little are only shown to us when something bad happens. In the case of Ethiopia, the 1984 famine and subsequent hungers have fixed its image in the global mind. It is as if the image of the collapsing Twin Towers in 2001 typified America. But of course we have other, more positive, images of America but none of Ethiopia. So I tell them: “Ethiopia? It’s great. It’s Booming!”

Racism and Hate Running Through the Streets: Ethiopian Migrants Victimized in Saudi Arabia

  by GRAHAM PEEBLES

November 23, 2013 (Counter Punch) — In the last 10 days persecution of Ethiopian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia has escalated. Men and women are forced from their homes by mobs of civilians and dragged through the streets of Riyadh and Jeddah. Distressing videos of Ethiopian men being mercilessly beaten, kicked and punched have circulated the Internet and triggered worldwide protests by members of the Ethiopian diaspora as well as outraged civilians in Ethiopia. Women report being raped, many repeatedly, by vigilantes and Saudi police. Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT), has received reports of fifty deaths and states that thousands living with or without visas have been detained awaiting repatriation. Imprisoned, many relay experiences of torture and violent beatings.

In repressive Ethiopia, new ‘Blue Party’ struggles to offer a choice

With 1,000 Ethiopian laborers being sent home daily from Saudi Arabia, the opposition party is channeling popular outrage

By Will Davison, Correspondent

Faisal Al Nasser/Reuters

November 21, 2013, ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (Christian Science Monitor) — Ethiopia is a definite success story in expert opinion about post-cold war Africa. The civil strife that wreaked havoc and made headlines in the 1980s has disappeared. Investments in roads, health, education, and water have improved the daily life of millions.

Yet Ethiopia’s ruling coalition seems intent on maintaining a tight grip on power until its project to transform Africa’s second-most populous nation into a middle-income country is complete.

That authoritarian control makes any opposition difficult – though of late a group called the Blue Party, made up of young Ethiopians who describe themselves as progressive, have attempted to move, if not shake, the nation’s politics in ways not seen here for a decade or more.

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።

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።

Ethiopian workers beaten, robbed in Saudi Arabia

November 19, 2013, ADDIS ABABA (BD Live) — When Abdallah Awele moved to Saudi Arabia from Ethiopia last year, he thought he would land a good job and earn enough money to send home to his family.

But instead, Mr Abdallah, 21, said he was beaten, robbed and jailed for living in the country illegally. “I wanted a good salary and a good life, that’s why I crossed the border,” he said.

“When I was in Saudi Arabia, I was successful, I was saving a lot of money and I had nice things. But I lost all of it. Now I am home and I won’t go back there.”

Mr Abdallah was one of at least 23,000 Ethiopians living illegally in Saudi Arabia, and one of a group of close to 400 flown home on Friday after being expelled.

Let no one Rob you of your Identity

By  Roba Pawelos*                                                                                | November 19, 2013

In Psychology and Sociology, Identity is a person’s conception and expression of their individuality or group affiliations (such as national identity and cultural identity). The concept is given a great deal of attention in social pyschology and is important in place identity.

In Ethiopia, the identity of one have to be told thousand times but ignored for the others, must be praised too much for one but have to be abused and humiliated for others, positive to talk about it for one and unspoken taboo for the others, the conept seems a difficult one to understand but not in reality. Generally, weather we like it or not human dignity, freedom, independence and the like must be build on the base of the recognition of his own or her own identity.

Disappearances of Oromo Nationals by The Ethiopian Government: November 2012 to November 2013

                                                            Qeerroo’s Annual Report

November 17, 2013

The current Ethiopian government has continued widespread mass arrests, unlawful killings, and disappearances of innocent civilians its citizens over the last 21 or so years. Among the communities highly affected by such repression and oppression of the regime, the Oromo people is probably rated as number 1. Oromos have been unable to live in their country in peace since they fell under the rule of the current minority Ethiopian regime. This report partially captures the list of Oromos who have been unlawfully arrested, killed, or disappeared over a period of one year from November 2012 to November 2013, compiled by the National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy (NYMFD) aka Qeerroo.

Ethiopian police crackdown on anti-Saudi Arabia protest following migrant worker attacks

Foreign workers wait before boarding police buses transferring them to an assembly centre prior to their deportation on November 14, 2013 in Riyadh (AFP, Fayez Nureldine)

November 15, 2013, ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (AP) –  Ethiopian police have used force to disperse hundreds of people protesting against targeted attacks on Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia.

Police units Friday blocked roads to prevent the protest at Saudi Arabia Embassy from growing. Some two dozen people were detained.

The police forced some journalists to delete photos. The government’s spokesman, Shimelis Kemal, wasn’t immediately available for comment.

One protester, Asfaw Michael, who was beaten, said he didn’t understand why Ethiopia wanted to shield Saudi Arabia from the protest.

Many foreign workers in Saudi Arabia are fleeing or are under arrest amid a crackdown on the kingdom’s 9 million migrant laborers. Close to 500 Ethiopians have been repatriated.

November 12, 2013, Addis Ababa (AFP) — Three Ethiopians have been killed in Saudi Arabia when violence broke out between police and illegal immigrants preparing to return home, Ethiopian officials said Tuesday.

Each year, large numbers of Ethiopians move to the Middle East looking for jobs, often as domestic workers. Saudi Arabia is among the preferred destinations.

“The act of killing innocent civilians is uncalled for, we condemn that,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Dina Mufti told reporters, saying he had been informed of the death of three Ethiopian citizens.

Ethiopia announced last week it would repatriate its citizens illegally living in Saudi Arabia after a seven-month amnesty period allowing immigrants to gain legal status expired.

Ethiopia: Journalist’s Plight Evokes Apartheid ‘Terrorism’ Law

   By Zakes Mda 

November 12, 2013 (All Africa) — The continued detention of Ethiopian journalist Eskinder Nega, who is serving an 18-year sentence as a convicted terrorist in Kaliti prison outside Addis Ababa, is emblematic of the systematic harassment and incarceration of independent journalists in that country.

Ethiopia: Absolute power corrupts absolutely

            By Berhane Assebe Alehudres                                                    | November 10, 2013

Berhane Assebe Alehudres

I believe absolute power corrupts absolutely because of the examples in history and our modern world. This can be seen in communist countries, Africa states and South America. All communist countries have been affected by corruption in one way or another. Famous examples include China, Russia, North Korea and Cuba. In Africa, corruption and absolute rule is wide spread in places such as: Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan, (…,). There was also corruption due to absolute power found in the renaissance/colonial times. Today throughout the world`s developing countries, there are many examples of absolute power corrupting absolutely.

Absolute power and corruption are very common and famous enough in Ethiopia. Today in Ethiopia TPLF killed thousands of Ethiopian, destroyed much of their peoples’ culture, damaged the economy, restricts freedom of speech, cracks down on any who oppose their rule in order to stay in power and persecuted people base on their race, religion and political opinion.

For Africa Media Leaders, Press Freedom Isn’t Top Concern

Mourners carry the body of Somali journalist Mohamed Mohamud who was killed after being shot six times by gunmen, Oct. 27, 2013

November 9, 2013, ADDIS ABABA (VOA) — African media leaders concluded a three-day conference in Ethiopia Friday, where press freedom was not on top of the conference agenda, even though many journalists on the continent face restrictions and repression.

Conference organizers said their core focus was on business development, technology innovation, and leadership and ethics. They believe discussions on the business side of media will automatically result in debates on press freedom.

Alison Bethel of the International Press Institute finds it worrisome that the African Media Leaders Forum did not prioritize the issue of press freedom.
