WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY HAVE SIGNED THIS PETITION, BUT WE ARE RE-CIRCULATING THE ISSUE AS SITUATION IS WORSENING FROM TIME TO TIME. PLEASE STAND BY THE SIDE OF THESE HERO STUDENTS AND JOURNALISTS THAT FLED THE OPRESSION OF THE MELES ZENEWI'S REGIME AND TRAPPED BY THIER OWN "LEADERS" 

The increased opression of the Meles Zenewi regime forced millions of Oromos to get disbursed all over the world. At this time there are thousands of Oromo refugees all over the world including Eritrea, Kenya, sudan, Somali, Tanzania, South Africa and all over the other parts of the world.

At this time there are Oromo students and journalists residing in Eritrea fleeing the Opressive regime of Meles Zenewi of Ethiopia. These students and journalists are kept as capatives in Asmara due to misunderstanding that was created between them and the "leaders" of OLF. Misunderstandings could be solved through discussions but the "leaders" of OLF are not understanding and they are trying to opress ideas and hinderded the students and journalists from pursing their idea towards thier goal. So we oromos around the world request the government of Eritrea to get involved and bring a solution to this issue and we also request all nations and nationalities to help us in signing this petition so that the president of Eritrea will be able to consider the condition of our HERO students and jounalists and help them stand and work for the goal they belive in, that is the freedom and liberation of Oromo nation from the Killing, harassment, detention, torture and opression of the  Meles Zenewi regime.


IDEAS AND THAUGHTS OF EACH PERSON HAS TO BE RESPECTED!!!
TO: PRESIDENT ISAYAS AFEWORKI,  President of State of Eritrea

Your Excellency,

We, Oromo nationals who are residing in different part of the world, convey our heartfelt greeting to you and the people of
Eritrea. Before we enter to the issue, we would like to express our deep appreciation and respect to Eritrean people in general and Eritrean martyrs in particular who have paid maximum scarifies so that Eritrea joined the family of free nations. Our honor to Eritrea martyrs who have paid unparalleled sacrifices self reliantly is virtually endless. As Eritrean liberation is the part of universal emancipation of humanity in general, we had been supporting it during the bitter liberation struggle and we still supporting the Eritrean government and people struggle against any sort of direct or injustice against all evil power of the world. At the same time we would like to express our deep gratitude to Eritrean people in general and Eritrean government in particular for generosity toward our liberation struggle. We are so optimist that the longstanding and cozy friendship between people of Oromo and Eritrean would grow more too strategic partnership for influencing the whole region into sustainable peace, development and stability.

Your Excellency!

In this petition we would like to bring attention about the following Oromo nationals currently staying in
Asmara Eritrea. These are


Damaka Nagasa Kube
Dassu Dula Gashe
Lemlem Fanta Garoma
Mohamed Ahimed Adem
Geresu Tufa Gulama

Those Oromo nationals whose name mentioned above had been contributing a lot to the on going Oromo national struggle while most of them working as journalist at home. Some of them were active in Oromo student movement against in justice inflicted by TPLF led Ethiopian government which finally forced them to leave their home land. As you might have information these Oromo nationals have come to your country to contribute their part to Oromo national cause with OLF. They had been working with OLF and ORA (Oromo Relief
Associations) and contributed their part. In the mean time, however, misunderstandings have been occurred with OLF leadership and they couldn’t continue. We have come to know that also they have difficulties to leave Eritrea and join their compatriots. Oromo nationals residing in different part of the world and at home are very concerned about this issue as it so sensitive and potentially bad on longstanding mutual understanding of the two people. It would create confusion and skepticism which could be so harmful for the future relationship of the two peoples. Thus, we have been trying to consult with OLF leadership on different occasion including chairman of OLF Mr.Dawud Ibsa .Nevertheless, they have been expressing that they don’t have any influence on this matter except your government. That’s why we have decided to send this petition to your good office. Hence would like to ask you courteously to reconsider the situation and let them free.


Long Live Oromo
Eritrea Friendship!
