your favorite xabashi Song

[D.O.C]

We love our master's music ain't we? Sidaasaa larabaa nooooh!

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Xabashi Music is oke but there are some folklore dances and some good tunes with the xabashi music by the way let people like these Music , the xabashis love Somali tunes to. We should not inject politics into it because we wont agree on that but we can maybe agree on Music

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Look how they mixed the Somali song with a habashi song

 

 

[OdaySomali]

Xaaji Xunjuf they do that quite intentionally. Most of these Xabashi-Somali songs SOLers here are posting and advertising are produced, created and aired by Ethiopian state television as part of their attempt to Ethiopian-ize Somali [Ethiopians] and diffuse the Somali culture.

 

This is truly a disgusting, trashy, filthy, repulsive and self-destructive thread. I just don't think we should be doing the handy-work of and furthering the Ethiopian regime's cause and inadvertently conducting cultural warfare on our own people... just think about it and bear that in mind.

[OdaySomali]

Wyre and others who have postedn in this thread, these songs are created, produced and aired by the Ethiopian State television as part of thier overall agenda of warfare, including cultureal warfare, and disposession towards the Somalis in the Somali region of Ethiopia, would you be confortable explaining to our brothers and sisters who are fighting for their survival that you enjoy listening to and soaking up Xabashi music?

Ethiopian soldiers commit of war crimes in Somalia

 

Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Ethiopian troops in Somalia of killing civilians and committing atrocities, including slitting people's throats, gouging out eyes and gang-raping women.

 

In a new report, the human rights group, which is based in London, detailed chilling witness accounts of indiscriminate killings in Somalia and called on the international community to stop the bloodshed.

 

The rights group said it had scores of reports of killings by Ethiopian troops.

In one case, "a young child's throat was slit by Ethiopian soldiers in front of the child's mother," the report says.

 

"The people of Somalia are being killed, raped, tortured. Looting is widespread and entire neighborhoods are being destroyed," Michelle Kagari, the Amnesty deputy director for Africa , said in a statement from Nairobi that accompanied the report.

 

Haboon, a 56 year old woman, said her neighbor's 17-year-old daughter had been raped by Ethiopian troops. The girl's brothers tried to defend their sister, but the soldiers beat them and gouged their eyes out with a bayonet

, Haboon was quoted as telling Amnesty.

Oday Somali i am not sure if thats the intention of the TPLF ,the TPLF in their grand conference in 1994 made sure that Ethiopia is going to be a country of ethnic states. Their entire objective was to limit the Amhara linguistic and cultural hegemony over the rest of Ethiopia. So mixing song to Habeshisize Somalis is think out of order because it will contradict what the current Admin in the Menelik Palace is all about. Oday Somali i am more worried about the oromo expansion taking over more than 5 districts which belonged to Somali galbeed currently administrated by the oromo kilil. I do agree that the Somali culture and songs and folklore dances must be upheld. But that sort of mixing is i think very innocent. i find it very funny mixing to be honest the song Keene gar daran, most of the Lyrics are in Amharic but she says adiga aniga midkee, than she continues in Amharic and the dude says qaboojisey mise kululeyse lol

Ethiopia: Army Commits Executions, Torture, and Rape in Somali Region

 

 

Ethiopia's army has subjected civilians to executions, torture, and rape in eastern Ethiopia's Somali Region, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released toda

y

. The widespread violence, part of

a vicious counterinsurgency campaign that amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity, has contributed to a looming humanitarian crisis,

threatening the survival of thousands of ethnic Somali nomads

.

 

The 130-page report "Collective Punishment: War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in the Somali Regional State," documents a dramatic rise in unchecked violence against civilians

since June 2007, when the Ethiopian army launched a counterinsurgency campaign against rebels who attacked a Chinese-run oil installation. The Human Rights Watch report provides the first in-depth look at

the patterns of abuse in a conflict that remains virtually unknown because of severe restrictions imposed by the Ethiopian government.

 

"The Ethiopian army's answer to the rebels has been to viciously attack civilians in the Somali region," said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "These widespread and systematic atrocities amount to crimes against humanity. Yet Ethiopia’s major donors, Washington, London and Brussels, seem to be maintaining a conspiracy of silence around the crimes."

The violence happened Friday on the road linking Mogadishu to the agriculturally rich town of Afgooye, residents said.

 

Omar said he and others fled to the nearby forest as the Ethiopian forces began shooting everywhere.

 

Some of the dead were recovered from the forest on the side of the road, indicating some passengers tried to escape the shooting, she said.

Ethiopia: ‘Special Police’ Execute 10

 

 

An Ethiopian government-backed paramilitary force summarily executed 10 men during a March 2012 operation in Ethiopia’s eastern Somali region.

Detailed information on the killings and other abuses by the force known as the “Liyu police” only came to light after a Human Rights Watch fact-finding mission to neighboring Somaliland in April.

 

On March 16 a Liyu police member fatally shot a resident of Raqda village, in the Gashaamo district of Somali region, who was trying to protect a fellow villager. During this operation the Liyu police force summarily executed at least 10 men who were in their custody, killed at least 9 residents in ensuing gunfights, abducted at least 24 men, and looted dozens of shops and houses.

“The Liyu police abuses in Somali region show the urgent need for the Ethiopian government to rein in this lawless force.” said Leslie Lefkow, deputy Africa director at Human Rights Watch.

 

The Ethiopian government’s response to reports of abuses in the Somali region has been to severely restrict or control access for journalists, aid organizations, human rights groups, and other independent monitors.

Ethiopia’s regional and federal government should urgently facilitate access for independent investigations of the events by independent media and human rights investigators, including the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial and summary executions.

 

“For years the Ethiopian government has jailed and deported journalists for reporting on the Somali region,” Lefkow said. “Donor countries should call on Ethiopia to allow access to the media and rights groups so abuses can’t be hidden away.”

Abuse and terror in the Somali region - Human Rights Watch

 

The war-torn Somali region in Ethiopia is a land scarred by terror.

 

An ongoing struggle for autonomy is being fought between the outlawed Ogden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and the Ethiopian military but it is not just ONLF members who are being brutalised.

 

An undercover investigation by the Bureau and the BBC’s Newsnight provides new evidence of ongoing brutal human rights abuses by Ethiopian government forces.

 

Today the area is a no-go zone for foreigners, the media and aid agencies. Instead, it is kept under strict Ethiopian government control, making it difficult to assess what is going on.

 

But in Dadaab, the largest refugee camp in the world in northern Kenya, there are thousands, who have fled from the Ogden region, claiming to have been subjected to horrific abuses by Ethiopian government troops.

 

Torture victims

A grandmother in her 50s, told us that she was one of more than 100 civilians seized from her village in the Ogden by government forces in 2009. Some of the villagers were killed, including her son, and others were taken to jail.

 

She says ‘I was raped’ by ‘a queue’ of soldiers. ‘They raped me in a room, one of them was standing on my mouth, and one tied my hand, they were taking turns, I fainted during this.’

 

Another victim described how she was eight months pregnant when government forces arrested her, then raped and beat her until she lost her baby.

I think that wyre didn't open this thread for discussion. Teeda kale, Mafiicna inaad dadka oo dhan iskumid kadhigtid, not all Habesha ( Ethiopians) are the same.

 

Btw, Negative generalizations waa wax doqonnima ah

"Abbaas" that is all nice and dandy but that does not negate the fact that most of these Somali-Xabashi songs and music videos (in which Ethiopian artists cover Somali songs, traditional dances and mix up Somali with Amharic), as I have said before, are produced, funded, created and aired by Ethiopian state television. That is not an argument, it is not an opinion, it is a simple fact. The Ethiopian artists you see in some of the videos wearing traditional Somali clothing, singing in Somali and doing traditional Somali dances did not occur by acciden, per chance or 'because they felt like it'... it is very intentional.

 

Then the question which arises is: for that reason or purpose are these songs created? The purposes are: the attempted assimilation of Somalis into Ethiopian culture, to diffuse the differences between Somali and Ethiopian cultures and lastly to shape and influence Somalis' predisposition to Ethiopian-ism by seeking to alter their very identity... their culture. This is part of a well orchastrated campaign to force Somalis into 'mainstream' Ethiopia throught the use of many tools including a military & law enforcement element, a political (local-government) element, an economic element... and as in this case social/cultural element through the use of state propaganda.

 

So I don't see how your meek "not alla Habesha are the same" comment offers any insight.
