About Egeree Oromiyaa – EOs Podcast Exploring Identity, Culture, and the Voices of a Displaced Generation Egeree Oromiyaa – EOs Podcast, founded in 2020, is a storytelling platform where we explore culture, identity, politics, literature, and the shared experiences of the past and present. We focus especially on the lives of first-generation refugees, particularly Oromo youth in Sweden and other Western countries. Through personal stories and thoughtful dialogue, we aim to give voice to the unheard and healing to the unseen. Our podcast amplifies the voices of those who have lived through the trauma of exile, navigating the harsh journey from home to Europe. We invite role models, professionals, and changemakers to share their paths—from persecution to perseverance—to inspire, educate, and empower. We also produce documentaries about significant historical and current events in Ethiopia, with special focus on Oromia, offering critical context and preserving narratives overlooked by mainstream media. EOs Podcast is part of a broader media effort, including the YouTube channel Miidiyaa Dhaddacha Oromo, also launched in 2020. This digital space was created to give voice to the voiceless, but has faced repeated suppression. Due to its role in exposing state-sponsored violence and human rights abuses in Ethiopia, the podcast’s YouTube and Facebook accounts were banned following repeated reports by Ethiopian lobbyists and their supporters. Banned Platforms Despite being active for over 13 years, the following media accounts were forcibly removed: YouTube Channels:Miidiyaa Dhaddacha Oromo (est. 2020)BB-Show (est. 2012)Facebook:Personal account of Chala Hailu Abate, created in 2010These bans reflect the high price of truth-telling in the face of repression. Still, the mission continues across new platforms and spaces. About the Founder Chala Hailu Abate, also known as Caalaa Hayiluu Abaataa, is the founder and host of Egeree Oromiyaa – EOs Podcast.

    Development Without Justice Is Not Development

    My thoughts on the displacement or eviction of Aabbuu Seeraa Oromo farmers in the name of a grand project called the Bishoftu International Airport building. Development Without Justice Is Not Development Why Evicted Oromo Farmers from #Aabbuu-Seeraa Must Be Compensated Fairly and Included in the Future https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CwSgomTiU/?mibextid=wwXIfr Large-scale development projects are often presented as symbols of national progress. Airports, highways, and industrial zones are hailed as engines of economic growth, modernity, and global integration. However, when such projects are implemented at the expense of indigenous farmers—without fair compensation, meaningful consultation, or rehabilitation—development ceases to be a shared national achievement and instead becomes a source of injustice and exclusion. In Ethiopia, Oromo farmers—particularly the Tuulamaa Oromo—have endured land dispossession in the name of “investment” and “development” for more than a century. Beginning with the Abyssinian expansion from the north into the south, vast numbers of Tuulamaa were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands. This process resulted not only in the loss of land and property, but also in mass killings, family disintegration, and the destruction of social and cultural systems. Today, this historical pattern continues. The Aabbuu-Seedaa, a sub-clan of the Tuulamaa, are once again being targeted for displacement under contemporary development schemes. What is unfolding is not an isolated incident, but a continuation of long-standing structural injustice. Across successive Ethiopian regimes, Tuulamaa communities have faced repeated eviction—first from their land, then from their identity, and now from their future. These policies are often justified through the language of capitalism, investment, and nation-building, echoing the state-building agenda initiated under Menelik II, which inflicted catastrophic violence on the Oromo people. Today, Oromo farmers living near expanding urban areas—especially around Finfinnee—and in strategic project zones continue to face eviction from their ancestral lands in the name of “public purpose.” These farmers are not opposed to development. Rather, they reject a model of development that destroys livelihoods, erases history, and condemns their children to landlessness, urban poverty, and social marginalization. This article argues that fair and adequate compensation is not optional. It is a legal, moral, and environmental obligation. Moreover, any large-scale development project that displaces farming communities must meet three non-negotiable requirements, grounded in national, regional, and international legal frameworks. I. The Right to Compensation Is Guaranteed Under Ethiopian Law The Ethiopian Constitution—particularly Article 40 (sub-articles 3–8)—explicitly safeguards the rights of peasants and pastoralists. While land is formally owned by the state, farmers possess constitutionally protected use-rights and livelihood rights. Key constitutional principles include: Farmers have the right to obtain land without payment and must be protected against arbitrary eviction. Send us a text Support the show
