This does not say OLF is to liberate Oromiya. If Obbo Daud thinks he is for all Ethiopians why not he say it and change the name of the organization he leads. The name cost Oromos more and each day some one is killed in Oromiya or put into prison because of the name OLF. Obbo Daud Must make his organization stand very clear for Oromos specially for those in diaspora who became what they are today because of confused OLF stand on Ethiopian issue. “What will end famine and gross human rights violations in Ethiopia will be the replacement of the current regime by a government that does not discriminate among its citizens, a government that does not pursue discriminatory economic development policies, a government that is accountable to the people, a government that honors the rule of law and human rights.”

Solomon Sat, 05 Apr 2008 14:42:17 +0000 http://www.ethiopianreview.com/content/2212#comment-27170 The food insecurity problem in Oromia and Ethiopia at large is caused more by bad governabce and and looting by government officals at different levels than by natural factors, as the OLF has correctly stated. The whole issue of bad governance, gross human rights violation, intimidation, corruption and politics of fear, which are the order of the day in Oromia deserve utmost attention from all peace-loving people. I congratulate the OLF for bringing the facts to world's attention and at the same time, I urge them to make more efforts in addressing topical issues as pronptly as they have done with this particular case.

It's becoming rystal clear that the Ethiopian economy only grows in double digits in TPLF-ites and their cohorts heads and bellies, not in the real Ethiopia to improve the lives of the hardworking people. Meles has succeeded only to build economy of lies.

(not just oromos) all of us should congradulate Daawud Ibsa for caring about non-oromos too. he is a good leader than can bring equality to ethiopia. when the majority leads there will always be equality and that is why ethiopia has been in crisis for many years. Dawus Ibsa for President!!! Birtukan Mideksa for Vice president!!! then all our problems will be solved. unfortunately, OLF is not changing itself to Oromo Democratic Party and if it is claiming to liberate oromos we will always have a problem even if birtukan defeats meles because birtukan will never allow OLF to implement a referendum between my oromo father and amhara mother!! Dawud needs to tell us publicaly that it has stopped the centuries old family "separation front" in the name of "liberation front" then it should discuss with birtukan and compromise before uniting to remove Meles zenawi and TPLF. it is sad that TPLF is bringing all this suffering to ethiopians.
