The Ethiopian Muslims have been carrying a peaceful protest for the last 18 months because of the government’s interference in their religious affairs to the extent of assigning spiritual leaders without their consent and impose doctrine. Its own constitutions prohibits government interference in religious matters but this regime violates its own constitution and interferes on all religious affairs including the right to worship, the right to protest and demonstration. The regime also introduced the controversial an anti-terror law a bid to silence and suppress the population than to stop terrorism.
As such no stone remained unturned by the regime to create rift among and distrust between Ethiopian Christians and Muslims and provoke violence but to no avail. Its security agents burned down churches and tried to put blamed on Muslims; it burned down Mosques and tried to put blames on Christians. The heinous crime of the regime is well known to Ethiopian people in particular and the international community in general.
On its press release issued by the United States Of America Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) states that “We are deeply concerned that the Ethiopia’s government is seeking to silence peaceful religious freedom proponents by detaining and trying them in secret under the trump-up terrorism charges” noted Ms. Katrina Lantos Swett, Chairwoman of the USCIRF. Just 4 days ago, on August 3, 2013, the regime’s Federal Police shot and killed over 18 Muslims including a child and a spiritual leader. Hundreds with gunshot were dispatched to different localities, and God knows how much of those wounded will survive.
The regime commits and continues to commit barbaric and savage crime on its own citizens to stay in power and tries to put blames on others. As revealed by Wiki leaks, Mrs. HUDDLESTON on her cable message to state department on 2006/10/06 stated that
“Series of explosions were reported in Addis Ababa on September 16 killing three individuals. The government of Ethiopia announced that the bombs went off while being assembled, and that the three dead were terrorists for the outlawed Oromo Liberation Front with links to the Oromo National Congress. An embassy source, as well as clandestine reporting, suggests that the bombing may have in fact been the work of the government of Ethiopia security forces”.
Knowing the nature and behavior of the tyrant regime in Addis Ababa, we are strongly disturbed by this fabricated terror alert and we would like to remind the international community at large and those Embassies in Ethiopia in particular, that issuance of a terror alert by the Foreign Ministry of the regime is nothing but prefabrication to terrorize and mass murder Ethiopian Muslims on the day they end the fasting of the holy Ramadan Eid al fitr.
