Heroic Oromo Students in Robe/ Bale Zone Set Wayyane Flag on Fire
(OLF news 10 July,2008) - Several Wayyane-invented "Ethiopian flags"
were distributed to the Oromo students of Robe Teachers' College against
their will on July, 2008, a day which was supposed to be the students'
graduation ceremony.
Our sources in Robe town, Bale zone, reported that the angry Oromo
students of the college collected all the distributed flags to one place
in the campus and set them on fire in public. It is also reported that
the students were singing inspirational songs, about the liberation of
Oromia, after burning the flags.
The Wayyane-Ethiopian government authorities, being completely rejected
by the Oromo people and the entire peoples of Ethiopia, are notoriously
known of transforming public ceremonies into political events, where
they send their media reporters and shamelessly show the distorted
events on a "national TV" screen (which is under their control) in an
attempt to mislead the general public into believing that they have the
support of the Oromo people.
Consequently the Wayyane authorities deliberately made the day of
graduation of the students of Robe Teachers' College coincide with their
own so called "flag celebration day" and distributed the
Wayyane-sponsored "Ethiopian flags" to the students against their desire
which led to the heroic, conscious, and angry Oromo students burn the
flags and humiliate the local authorities, our sources added.
Meanwhile, our sources in Western Arsi zone, Gedeb Asasa district,
reported that the Oromo people of the district rejected Wayyane
officials' request to celebrate their "flag celebration day".
Consequently a stand-off is reported to have occurred between local
Wayyane authorities who are used to blaming one another for being
rejected by the Oromo people all over Oromia.
