Jointly Organized by the Oromo Studies Association (OSA), the Oromo Community Organization (OCO) of Washington D.C. area, and Oromo Youth Self-help Association (OYSA)
".... These are few of the recent examples of the rampant human right violations of the Ethiopian regime perpetrated on the Oromo and other oppressed nations and nationalities demanding their lawful rights. Overall, it is estimated that more than 20, 000 Oromo nationals languish in prison at any given moment over the last 20 or so years of the EPRDF rule.
To bring these abuses to the attention of the US public and decision makers, the Oromo Studies Association (OSA), the Oromo Community Organization (OCO) of Washington D.C. area, and the Oromo Youth Self-help Association have jointly organized a protest in Washington D.C. We call all Oromo nationals and Oromo friends living in and around Washington D.C. to participate in this peaceful demonstration.
Let’s get together, stand in unison and speak on behalf of those whose voices have been unjustly silenced. Protest Date: Friday, January 25, 2013 Protest Time: 8:30 AM– 12:00 noon Protest Place: US State Department, 2201 C Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20520 Contact: Oromo Community Organization, Washington D.C.: Tel. 202 234 1151 Oromo Youth Self-help Association, Washington D.C.: Tel. 202 705 6585 ....
