Brutal Repression of the Oromo People by the Ethiopian Government & stop the massacre of Oromo people and suppression of human rights in Ethiopia

We, members of the Oromo communities in Diaspora, create this petition to bring to your attention the atrocities perpetrated on the Oromo people in Ethiopia. At this moment, the Oromo people are under siege; schools are closed, normal economic activities are disrupted and the farmers are confined to their homes, which are violated and searched by government agents without legal warrants. Over the last four weeks, over 86 students, teachers and farmers were killed by armed government forces. Mass arrest are going on daily and the government is terrorizing citizens. We are appealing for urgent intervention of by the U.N. and the global community.
