In less than two weeks after UNESCO inscribed the Oromo Gadaa, the regime in Ethiopia arrested Dr. Teferi Nugussie, a key scholar who is behind the required works for the registration. This arrest is tantamount to a silent declaration of war to wipe out the Oromo intellectuals and known figures. The arrest of Dr. Nugussie is also a challenge to the UNESCO administration and dignity. Two weeks ago, another Oromo prominent figure, Dr. Merera Gudidna, was arrested for fulfilling the invitation of European Parliament. It has to be remembered also that, Mr. Bekele Gerba, still languishing in the TPLF prison, was arrested for meeting with Amnesty International workers.
It is time for the world to wake up and work against the looming human genocide and tragedy in that country. How many more should die or disappear to call it genocide?
