Medical Aid & Supplies for Oromos in Ethiopia
Donation protected
"In recent days, the Ethiopian government has escalated human rights abuses to unconscionable levels. These abuses are particularly targeted at Ethiopia’s largest ethno-national group, Oromos. Oromos have a long history of systemic marginalization, abuse, violent killings, discrimination, and imprisonment in Ethiopia. All documented by human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
On Monday, June 29, 2020, renowned Oromo artist-activist Hachalu Hundessa was gunned down in the capital city of Addis Ababa. This assassination comes just days after his interview on Oromia Media Network (OMN) aired in which he expressed concerns about the government’s human rights abuses stemming from the command posts as well as critiques about the historical legacy of Menelik II.
In less than 24 hours following Hachalu’s assassination, on Tuesday, June 30, 2020, the government arrested and unlawfully detained OMN journalists, prominent opposition leaders and human rights activists such as Bekele Gerba, Jawar Mohammed, and dozens of other individuals. This sparked an eruption of youth -led protests all over the country where security forces fired live bullets at unarmed protestors killing over 300 and wounding thousands. The government also arbitrarily detained over 7,000 Oromo protestors, activists, and their families as well as a number of U.S. citizens."
All donated proceeds will go to providing medical equipment and services to protestors being violently attacked by the government and their army.
