The Oromo Community Organization of Washington DC is hosting a massive Oromo peaceful protest organized by all Oromo Community Organizations in North America, which will be held on September 29, 2016 in Washington DC to condemn the authoritarian and repressive Ethiopian government.
As we all know, the Ethiopian government has intensified the use of force in an extremely violent situation to control political discontents in Oromia. Its military and security forces are brutally killing, detaining, and kidnapping innocent Oromo of all ages to deny the long overdue Oromo demands. The regime’s violence has now expanded to other regions including Amhara region. The recent Qilinto incident, believed to be a drama staged by Ethiopian government, was to deliberately attack prisoners of conscience; and it should be condemned with strongest terms.
Therefore, the Oromo Community Organization of Washington DC is asking all Oromo in Washington Metropolitan DC area to be part of this historic peaceful rally on 29 September 2016, which will be held in front of the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. State Department, the World Bank, and the White House. In order to facilitate the event, the OCO is also asking for volunteers to take part in various committees of the demonstration including transportation services.
