According to the report below, many youth are being arrested in Debre Zeit in the supposed name of the "assasination" as guessed by the families of the arrested. One wife said her husband was arrested and that none of them know why.
The report indicates that the youth are mostly those who are recognized as good members of the society but happen to be outspoken and influential in their communities. The people have said that the arrest targeted mostly non Oromo speakers. Some youth also confessed that the officials there have notions that non-Oromo speakers in Debre Zeit (which is majority non- Oromo) are new comer settlers. And that they act as obstacles to these youth in terms of self development and find various means to discourage them said one youth.
Some of the arrested were brought to court a week after they were arrested contrary to the law that says the accused must be brought to court within 48 hours. Their families are also not allowed to follow up on the court proceedings and it is a strictly closed non transparent proceeding which points to the fact that the justice system has not altered much with this "change".
This is funny because Debre zeit is where my grand father settled after abandoning everything and coming from north Shewa, he bought land in the kasanchis area in Addis Ababa. Stayed there for a bit them moved to Debre zeit. For these people to say that the Amharas and other non-Oromos are new comers to the area where they themselves are sparse is ridiculous. I know that place as I know Addis. How long are we to go like this? How is it that settlers are calling others settlers? Where were you before the 16th century?? There are monasteries built in these areas dating to the 4th - 7th century. On what ground are such claims made? How to argue with people who fail at basic reasoning?

During the era of At'se Yohannes, who forcefully converting 50,000 Muslims, and killed 30,000 basically exterminating more than 50% of Muslim Highlanders a the time, worst than Hitler. Until Sudanese Mahdists armies beheaded Yohannes and put him on a stick, saving Muslim Habeshas of Tigray, Gonder, and Welo/Bete Amhara. With the backward monarchy, which make "ethiopia" an infamous famine country.

**The video shown is a press conference given on current issues from the army.
The general:
"The people welcomed the army but there are bodies who dont want the army there they are the ones creating issues"(talking about the Gonder issue)
"There are those who asked why general Assaminew was killed. These people are not in their right mind."
"There are those who defame the army both nationally and internationally."
When Arbegna were fighting the Italians faithfully and bravely while others were Banda traitors leading the italians to the Arbegnas.
For all the good the army does one tiny mistake is exaggerated.**
Here is my question.
- It was the farmers who complained the army was attacking them was it not?? It was the farmers and people live on television who complained that Sur construction was transporting weapons used to attack them and that they wanted the army out of the city live on television on a public meeting. Or are they bad farmers and people because they oppose you???
