#SayNoToViolence

International Day of Non-Violence observed by United Nations

#SayNoToViolence & #StopKillingOromos Twitter Campaign scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2, 2021

On this International Day of Non-Violence observed by the United Nations, we would like to call attention to the Oromo people that are being killed in #Ethiopia & facing hardship and violence in countries they have fled to for safety. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw

We are still waiting for an independent investigation into the murder of beloved Oromo icon, singer, and activist Hachalu Hundessa killed in #Ethiopia. It has been over a year and a half since his death. Where is his justice?  #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw @amnesty 

More are dying due to unrest and instability in #Ethiopia at a higher rate than from COVID-19. OLLAA calls on the international community to take a clear stance against the human rights violations perpetrated by Abiy’s admin. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw @amnesty

The violence in #Ethiopia has exposed mothers and children to sexual violence perpetrated by the Ethiopian security forces, Amhara militia, and Liyu police. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw @amnesty @unicef @equalitynow @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights

The #Ethiopia|n government, has no qualms for publicly executing innocent Oromo children to continue fear-mongering the oppressed. Like Amanuel Wondimu Kebede, who was publicly executed in Western Oromia. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights

Oromo youths are forcefully taken to participate in a war they want no part in, in #Ethiopia and placed on frontlines to die. The Ethiopian gov. views Oromo lives as indisposable. They are not collateral damage. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights

Thousands of Oromos have fled  #Ethiopia for safety only to encounter violence, abuse, and death in various gulf countries. Many of them were smuggled under false promises of a better life. #SayNoToViolence #SaveOromoMigrants @un @UN_HRC @hrw @ymofarblx @KSAmofaEN @redcross

Reports of extrajudicial killings, mass arrests, illegal detentions, and violence against ethnic Oromo civilians, including medical professionals, were widespread. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos @un @hrw @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @amnesty @secblinken @un_pga @EthioHRC

The international community must strongly condemn the hateful rhetoric and incitement of violence by the Ethiopian government and its influential supporters with large platforms. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos #TigrayGenocide @un @hrw @UN_HRC @amnesty @un_pga @EthioHRC

The Ethiopian security forces are burning villages and farms under the pretense of searching for rebel soldiers. By doing this, they are creating man-made famine. #SayNoToViolence #StopKillingOromos #StopTigrayFamine @un @hrw @UN_HRC  @amnesty @secblinken @un_pga @EthioHRC

Oromo patients were dragged out of an ambulance and brutally stabbed to death in the Amhara region. How many other massacres like the one in Shewa Robit have occurred that we’ve not heard about? #SayNoToViolence @un @hrw @UN_HRC @amnesty @un_pga @redcross https://bit.ly/3l0pUV5

OLLAA calls on the international community to seek justice for and independently investigate the human rights violations against the Oromo, Tigrayan, Kemant, Benishangul, Afar, Wolaita, Sidama, Somali, Gambella, Agew, and other groups in #Ethiopia. #SayNoToViolence @un @hrw
