Tales from the Horn Kasech Rayaweyti

If there was ever a question you had about the Oromo existance in the "27 years" of the EPRDF, it will be covered in this episode. But ultimately Dr Tsegaye teaches us about the power struggles, the protest movements and the incoming take over of Abiy Ahmed. He provides a very fair analysis of the EPRDF and highlights how the anti-TPLF sentiments and "Woyane are the enemy" narratives were able to spread throughout the society. He discusses the issue of the OPDO through the eyes of the Oromo society. But most of all the amazing Dr explains why standing for humanity and actually utilising the in place constitution to its full potential, can save many many lives today, tomorrow and in the future.

Aiming for 30 to 40 minutes each episode, I wasn't able to stop the interview because the life of Dr Tsegaye R Ararssa reveals not only the hidden history of Oromia and the Ethiopian Empire, but also the landscape of the Oromo oppression over the centuries.  In part one we hear stories of the Gada initiation process and what shaped his experiences in law school and as a young federal prosecutor for the EPRDF government.  Part 2 to be aired later and we hear all about what it is that led to Tsegaye truly becoming a voice for all the voiceless and oppressed peoples of Ethiopia. As well as a shared discussion on the controversial political and media space of the labelled "27 Years".  #Ethiopia #Oromia #Tigray #Eritrea

Life in Gondar was not always a deadly experience for a Tegaru. So what changed? What went wrong?

From life in a small village bordering Axum to preparatory school in Mekelle then to a bachelors experience in Gondar and a Masters in the USA, Fthawi explains the shift from peace to hate.  But perhaps these are answers we can only truly understand when the people of Gondar and Amhara region start to explain.

As Taliile went through life as a proud Oromo girl growing up in Finfinnee (Addis Abeba) she faced many struggles which framed her to be one of the bravest social warriors I know. Life as an Oromo in the capital of Ethiopia was not easy. But Taliile shows us that humanity is all you need!   #Oromo #Ethiopia #AddisAbeba #Finfinnee #Tigray #AbiyAhmed

The ethnic minority, the Irob people in Northern Ethiopias Tigray region have suffered so much. Danny explains the experience of the 1998-2000 border war between Ethiopia and Eritrea and how the Irob people were devastated by death and destruction. And how the current conflict is again harming this historically significant and resilient community.
