OLF rebels arrested for "dam raid"

(Reuters) - Ethiopia said on Friday it arrested three Oromo Liberation Front rebels who beat up Chinese technicians in a raid on a dam construction site in the west.

"Unless there is ample evidence that the three persons apprehended as terrorists were attempting to carry out terrorist activities along the dam site, we cannot trust what the government is alleging," said Gebru Gebremariam, chief whip in parliament for United Ethiopian Democratic Forces (UEDF). "The government always carries out massive arrests of the Oromo people under the pretext of terrorism."

This kind of reaction is only natural when a person is under great intimidation. Keep coming up with what ever you (meles) think will save you in the futre. You and your words exactly a like (ugly creature).

Can you amara (UDJ) stand on your own with out calling Oromos to your cause? getover it there is no Oromo will support Burtkan or anthing like her.

We know that our cause worse struggle, but when one mention about who will help with our cuase, for ex. like amara refering to UDJ is undermining our struggle.

However, knowing who we are dealing with give us a better hope of getting to our khaayyo. Despite what you think and stay tuned for a world map remake (where there is no country called Ethiopia in it) beautiful map to see, isn't it?

We Oromos in MN are not only staying in our confirt but olso playing our role as we did when we were in Oromiya.

So take your UDJ and san booda carbe geeysi.

OLF nu baasa (leenca kiyya)

Obolesso, niilaaltaa akka akaamin Ijjolee kenyaa taa'annii.



Hey people get up, stand up like the the marvelous queen of Oromo "Ms Mideksa", to denounce this wild regime. Just do not be like the coward, who himself and all his families and even far relatives all living in a comfort in MN and trying to send our brothers and sisters to the butcher.
