Freedom, Sovereignty and Democracy Shall Prevail

A Call from the Oromo People’s Uprising Coordinating Council (OPUCC) and the National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy (NYMFD) aka QEERROO

The uprising, which is about to launch in Oromia, is a culmination of the long year Resistance Against Subjugation (Fincila Diddaa Gabrummaa (FDG)), which has been going on over the last long years. It is the highest form of popular movement to bring an end to the killings, campaign of imprisonment, kidnappings and disappearances, harsh economic and resource exploitation, nonstop eviction from ancestral land, and overall to stop all forms of subjugation and slavery the Oromo people are subjected to over the last several decades by the dictatorial Ethiopian regimes. The revolution is a just movement launched to bring an end to the humiliation of the Oromo people and other oppressed nations and nationalities in Ethiopia for the last 130 years; it deserves sympathy and support from all who have respect for human dignity and an end to tyranny in any form. The blood of innocent Oromos spilled so far, the continuous flow of tears caused by loss of loved ones by illegal killings, torture, arrests, abductions and disappearances, should come end.
