Do the Oromo have a voice in Ethiopia? - The Stream - Al Jazeera
The program was not well organized at all. It might be b.c it's daily brodcasted and the journalists don't get enough time to be well prepared on the issues. Any ways, both opposing ideas were not sufficiently presented (and ofcourse also represented). They should have invited 1) the old OLF founders who have compromised 2) at least one non-Oromo opposition polititian and 3) some one who is pro-Gov't's stand.
Yesterday the program at #AjStream on #Ethiopia #Oromo was insincere & flawed.
I have watched that ajream show it made me sick on my stomach it is naive political strategy to deny a naked truth politics is not all about lie it is a science u may deny something as a politician to normalize things but not a lie like this
1/The host asked Mohammed Ademo to tell her "honestly" if OLF is responsible for any crime. Of course, he denied it.
But if she was intersted, she could have raised specific cases like Bedeno massacre that I sent them hours in advance.
2/The host didn't correct or debate Jawar Mohammed when he claimed there are tens of thousands political prisoners and of which 9/10th are Oromos.
But they had my note on their hands that quotes the US report claiming a maximum of four hundred political prisoners.
3/They let the OLF official claim "we denounce violence". But they were aware that a UN report found OLF involved in a terror plot.
4/I told them Oromo make-up about 34% of the population, but they stick to the 40% (sometimes they said half the population).
I can continue but it is a waste of time. Al-Jazeera is either utterly incompetent or more likely it has an agenda that flaws its reports on Ethiopia.
What was the point of having three guests with identical opinion?
