Press Release

Background on Abyssinian Colonialism Establishment and their Nature

Heinously masterminded intentional assimilationist ideology of Abyssinian Amhara/Tigray's supremacy and their deliberate politico-economic policy executions that are geared to produce appalling and systematic sate-sponsored deliberate crimes including subjugation, slavery and depersonalization of native Africans predates the beginning of the 20^th century. They dehumanize and continue to do so the nations under their colonial yoke-such as Oromo, Sidama, Ogaden Somali, Afar, Benshagul and Gumuz, Hadiya, Kambata, Wolayita, Shinasha, Gedeo, Hammer, Gambellas, and the rest all. Their immoral and barbaric acts are one of the most appalling 21st century human tragedies unfolding in front of the global communities.

Ultra poverty and human misery that is purely orchestrated by the Abyssinian successive rulers' policies of subjugation incorporated with relentless gross human rights violations; the Empire remain at the bottom in world's development parameters. Almost all United Nations Development Indicators since its inception place the empire on its bottom line for the period of over five decades.

Since their brutal king Minelik' supported by the Western modern weapons occupied and crushed the identity of the original African nations who had their ways of governance and indigenous systems in late 1880s to bring the Abyssinian Empire to the today's geo-political shape; all nations have lost their politico-economic sovereignty and cultural identity. The said successive regimes commit genocides of various forms for the period of over a century including cultural and religious genocides and others tragic brutalities.

The slavery and subjugation under which our aforementioned nations at the moment are, has no moral superiority or political correctness. It also does not have intellectual formidability and spiritual admissibility under whatsoever definitions. Their brutal and barbaric acts need to be condemned with their entirety unconditionally all over the glob. All nations under Abyssinian colonial yoke need to be de-colonized as a matter of urgency to restore their identity, independence and essence of egalitarian governance and ways of lives in line with the evolving science and technology.

Therefore, we in the Meeting of Strategic Understating between Liberation Fronts and Organizations that are Struggling against Abyssinian Colonialism,

1. Strongly condemn the immoral and inhuman acts of successive Abyssinian rulers and urge them to unconditionally stop committing crimes against humanity and cultural genocides against colonized nations such as Oromo, Ogaden Somali, Sidama, Afar, Gumuz, and other subjugated nations!

2. Call upon all colonized nation to stand hand in hand to support the eradication of the Abyssinian colonial policies from their respective lands with the colonial masters once and for all!

3. Urge all colonized nations intellectuals to stop and think their positions in this respect; and unconditionally decide where to stand and to make clear whether to support the emancipation of their respective peoples from the century old slavery or decide to remain submissive to inherit their children eternal subjugation and sense of inferiority that results in permanent identity crisis!

4. All the lands of colonized nations by Abyssinia are the most productive, fertile and rich in natural resources. Yet, these all resources are either made to entirely serve the purpose of the colonial masters while the true beneficiaries are left to languish under ultra poverty. Therefore, we emphatically condemn Abyssinia's deliberate policies of underdevelopment that are masterminded by them and urge the colonizers to leave the lands of the colonized nations unconditionally!

5. Categorically reject and condemn any forms of alliances between the agents of the colonizers such as AFD and Ginbot 7 under the pretext of democratizing Ethiopia- to restore the hegemony of Amhara's barbaric rules!

6. Strongly condemn underground conspiracies of Abyssinian colonial regime with the few traitors of colonized nations that are targeting to abort and sabotage the struggle of the nations under their colony for decolonization!

11. Request the symbol of international community, the UN to urge Meles Zenawi's regime to fully withdraw his troops that is committing crimes against humanity and various forms of genocides in Somalia by disregarding the December 2006's UN resolution '1725' that unequivocally forbids Ethiopia from entering into Somalia under what so-ever definitions; to saw poisonous seeds and further endless volatility in the region. Strongly advise the UN to support the establishment of viable Somalia government that serves the interests of its citizens!

Unequivocally ask his regime to unconditionally stop such meaningless war and loss of lives of colonized nations sons and daughters!

13. Emphatically condemn Meles Zenawi's underground security forces that operate in the neighboring countries such as Kenya, Sudan, Djibouti and Somalia with intent of assassinating, expatriating and or causing disappearances of the very peoples who have fled his brutal regime; and unequivocally ask him to stop such state sponsored terrorism. Also ask international freedom loving communities, to condemn such brutality against peoples who flee Abyssinian Meles's regime. Also again condemn the silence of the governments of the said countries and emphasize that they will be held responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Oromos, Sidamas and Ogaden Somali citizens who have been the victims of such heinous acts of Meles's regime in their own countries where they sought protection!

14. Urge the donors and sponsors of Meles's regime that commits crimes against humanity -to stop hundreds of millions of aid package money that flows through his brutally murderous political apparatus to purely serve the political purposes.

Highly appreciate the stance of the Human Rights Watch (HRW), Amnesty International (AI) and other humanitarian organizations and their report on crimes against humanity and genocides taking place in most part of Abyssinia Empire with particular emphasis on people of Ogaden on June 12, 2008; and further urge them to continue to investigate the genocides that are taking place in other parts of the Meles's democracy decorated criminal regime.

17. Advise our down-trodden colonized nations of the empire who are serving colonial purposes of 'divide-and-rule' tactics to refrain from engaging in any forms of conflicts between two or three colonized nations. Utterly regretting for the innocent lives being lost in such unnecessary conflicts; we once again urge Oromos, Sidamas, Ogaden Somali, Afar, Gedeo, Gumuz, Isa, Burji and others who are unknowingly serving this heinous purposes to reject the tactics of Meles's regime that rejoices by the death and misery of our nations sons and daughters, mothers and fathers!
