The Conference for Peace and Stability in the Horn of Africa that was held last Sunday, December 9, in London consisted in the first effort of coordination among Eritrea, various representatives of the Somali Nation, and delegates from various liberation movements of Abyssinia’s ******is and Oromos, the two largest nations among the subjugated peoples of tyrannical, racist Abyssinia. At the present level, the effort represented mainly the Diaspora, i.e. organizations set up by various Somalis, ******is, Oromos and Eritreans who live in Europe and other parts of the world. It is expected that this coordination effort will signal an even larger attempt among the mainstream political forces of all the numerous tyrannized nations - components of the anti-fascist forces in the Horn of Africa region. Eritrea is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural state that aspires to progress and development; however, its existence has been repeatedly threatened by the aggressive and totalitarian elites of the Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians around tyrant Zenawi and the fake opposition party Kinijit that consists entirely of survived friends, colleagues, relatives, and ministers of the cruel Communist tyrant Mengistu. Somalia is by now partly occupied by Zenawi’s Abyssinian clannish thugs who comically impersonate a supposedly national army. Other parts of Somalia have been stricken by strife and division orchestrated by the racist, anti-Somali Abyssinians. ******is are Somalis, who have been peremptorily attributed by the departing (in the late 40s and early 50s) British colonials to the murderous, barbaric and cannibalistic pseudo-king of the Amhara Abyssinians, Haile Selassie. Oromos are the largest nation of Abyssinia, fallaciously re-baptized ‘Ethiopia’, who have been progressively subjugated in the 2nd half of the 19th century, and massacred even since by the racist Amhara and Tigray elites whose acts and policies, tactics and strategies reveal their atrocious attempt to perpetrate an appalling genocide against all the other Horn of Africa nations. Meadna news is a well documented and very informative website; we will reproduce here a report about the Conference that was first published in the worthwhile portal. We only hope that the effort is taken by all the Eritrean, Somali, ******i, and Oromo leaderships as an example to repeat at a larger, nationwide scale, including representatives of the equally tyrannized Sidamas, Afars, Shekachos, Kaffas, Kambatas, Anuak, Agaws, and Wolayitas of ‘Ethiopia’. Horn African Diaspora unites for Peace and Stability of the Region. Meadna News, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 http://meadna.com/business%20page/medna%20news%20pages/hornafricaunited.html A Conference for Peace and Stability in the Horn of Africa was held in London on Sunday December 9th 2007, bringing communities from ******, Somalia, Eritrea and Oromo together. The conference, first of its kind, was jointly organised by the Oromo Youth Organisation, ****** Youth Organisation, Eritrean Youth Organisation and Somalia Youth Congress to address problems in the Horn of Africa region, including killing of civilians, destruction of livelihoods, war crimes, rape and sexual assaults, arrests and detentions, occupation, forced expulsion and violation of international rulings that are being committed by the Ethiopian regime. Followed by the official opening of the conference, representatives of Oromo Youth Organisation, Eritrean Youth Organisation, ****** Youth Organisation and Somalia Youth Congress gave presentations on the state of affairs of their countries and people in historical context respectively. The Oromo representative, stating the present time as “historic moment”, expressed their delight to have the opportunity to “voice our voice for those voiceless majority Oromos in Ethiopia”. The presentation focused on gross violation of human right in Ethiopia, including the extrajudicial killing, disappearances of hundreds of thousands Oromos, mass detention and economic crimes directed at all Ethiopian ethic groups denying them to engage in any significant economic activities. The presentation described the plight of Oromo farmers who are “facing unprecedented scale of eviction from their farming land which time in memorial belongs to their ancestors”. The presentation also highlighted the role of the powerful nations that have got the Ethiopian regime as their ally to their war on terror “are in reality supporting a terrorist government”. The presentation further added “whether it is a matter of coincidence or intentionally, the US government is supporting the most brutal, undemocratic, corrupt and uncivilized political power in Ethiopia”. Describing the Ethiopian regime as the “the most notorious threat to East Africa”, the presentation stated “the TPLF went into war with Eritrea in 1998 to 2000, which ended up with the loss of 70,000 lives and displacement of 700,000 people. In the involvement of Ethiopian government into internal affair of Somalia, the direct targets of the TPLF are Oromos who took refugee in Somalia.” This was followed by Eritrean presentation, which focused on “historic moment”, expressed their delight to have the opportunity to “voice our voice for those voiceless majority Oromos in Ethiopia.” The presentation focused on gross violation of human right in Ethiopia including the extrajudicial killing, disappearances of hundreds of thousands Oromos, mass detention and economic crimes directed at all Ethiopian ethic groups denying them to engage in any significant economic activities.

In the involvement of Ethiopian government into internal affair of Somalia, the direct targets of the TPLF are Oromos who took refugee in Somalia”. This was followed by Eritrean presentation, which focused on the current problem, the refusal of the Ethiopian regime to abide by the international final and binding ruling and historical context of the role of the US in the region and particular its policy on Eritrea and Ethiopia which has been the same for over half a century. The presentation also highlighted the human suffering including the mass deportation of Eritreans from Ethiopia and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. The ****** presentation was also presented in historical context and the main focus of topics were the plight of the ****** Somali people, natural resources, the root causes of the ****** trouble and human right violation. The presentation was backed by very distressing images and videos of specific cases of killing of civilians, rape and sexual assaults, arrests and detentions and torture. The evidences were very distressing and caused the presenter and most of the attendants of the conference to burst into tears and weeping. The presentation also highlighted the role of the western nations in supporting and assisting the Ethiopian regime through billions of dollars, which is directly allowing Meles Zenawi “butcher more Ethiopians, ****** Somalis, also allow him to invade neighbor countries Eritrea and Somalia”. The presentation ended appealing to the international community to intervene in the plight of ****** Somalis. Finally, the representative of the Somalia Youth Congress presented equally distressing picture of the Situation in Somalia. The presentation highlighted the death of over 6000 civilians, 7000 wounded people and displacement of 1.5 million Somalians, which was caused by the Ethiopian invasion and occupation of Somalia. The presentation also looked at the role of the US, “the Bush administration instead of supporting the IUC for getting rid of the war lords immediately branded the IUC hardliners and made those who have been killing and robbing the Somalian people his allies as well as supporting the Ethiopian occupation”. Pointing out the agenda of the Ethiopian regime, which is to stop Somalia from uniting and reconstitute their country, the presentation stated “the majority of Somalians do not support the Somalian transition government; it is not an independent government but one that is controlled and guided by the regime in Addis”. The presentation similarly ended with a call on the international community to listen to the screaming of the Somalian people for help. After giving the attendant of the conference the opportunity for discussion, the six-hour long event was concluded with agreement to stage a peaceful demonstration in January 2008 and invited all the people of the Horn of Africa and friends of the region to join them in their appeal to the international community for peace.
