Abstract:

The paper explains how the neo-nafxanaya government of Abiy Ahmed has been trying to restore the Ethiopian (Amhara) settler colonial institutions by establishing military command posts and terrorizing and committing genocide on the Oromo people since 2018. The regime has mobilized the “federal” and regional military and security forces, the Eritrean and Amharatroops, and the paramilitary Amhara Fanno to fight with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLF-OLA), which is struggling to liberate the Oromo people from Ethiopian settler colonial domination. The paper also explores how the regime has organized underground militia and security structures, such as Gachana Sirna (defenders of the system) and Shanee, to destroy the Oromos it suspects as its enemies. Overall, the piece demonstrates that the Abiy government and its supporters have labeled Oromos who are culturally and politically conscious as “Shanee” to defame, ostracize and destroy them by committing heinous crimes against humanity by violating the U.N. Universal Declarations of Human Rights.
