Restricted Travel in Oromia Region The U.S. Embassy is monitoring recent social media reports of planned protests and demonstrations in the Oromia region this coming weekend of August 6-7, 2016. The disseminated messages call for protests at all district and zonal level capitals across Oromia. The U.S. Embassy is restricting all personal travel by U.S. Chief of Mission employees in Oromia through August 7, 2016. The U.S. Embassy anticipates that communications such as cellphone and internet could be disabled. Travelers should anticipate traffic restrictions on main roads outside of major cities in Oromia due to road closures and gatherings, and an increased presence of federal police. The U.S. Embassy advises all U.S. Citizens traveling within the region to review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; avoid large gatherings and demonstrations and monitor local news stations for updates. We also advise everyone to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security and follow instructions of local authorities. In the Oromia region, numerous protests have materialized with little to no prior knowledge. Regardless of where U.S. Citizens are traveling to, everyone should increase their level of situational awareness, continuously assess their surroundings, and evaluate their personal level of safety and avoid demonstrations or large gatherings. http://ethiopia.usembassy.gov/messages/emergency-and-security-messages-for-u/security-message-for-u.s.-citizens-restricted-travel-in-oromia-region-august-05-2016

I think there are other demos this weekend. This might be nationwide, or at least in Amhara and Oromo regions. TPLF sewed the seeds of Ethiopia's destruction. They kept it alive in order to milk it as long as they can. No wonder they insisted on article 39. p.s. Amhara are armed unlike Oromo civilians. And unlike in the past, Amhara are finally defining themselves more of Amhara than Ethiopian. I think they are sensing the fall of Ethiopia will not see them return to power. p.s.s I don't see Hassan Sheikh doing that.

Tens of thousands of protesters call for a regime change in Ethiopia http://www.hiiraan.com/news4/2016/Aug/116775/tens_of_thousands_of_protesters_call_for_a_regime_change_in_ethiopia.aspx

Let the sh!t hit the roof.

Secure freedom? I can't believe you actually posted that.

ETHIOPIA: RIOTS IN GONDER CLAIM CASUALTIES July 16, 2016 At least 10 people have been killed in Gonder northern Ethiopia in clashes as locals with security forces. The government blames Eritrea for the unrest but residents cite disputes over land and ethnicity. http://www.wardheernews.com/ethiopia-riots-in-gonder-claim-casualties/ Tigray has annexed or tried to annex large green areas from Amhara Region. TLPF has created conflicts among nations by swapping territories from one region to another.

I don't see Ethiopia being reformed.

Indeed, that's why they have the secession article. In any case, it's scary. We, Somalis, have massacred each other, despite the animosity and the hate, we still identify with each other. Ethiopians on the other hand speak of each other in just hostile manner that one fears genocidal war, something that will affect the entire Horn.

Soon enough, they sew the seeds of Ethiopia's destruction.

Even the opposition parties have backed Erdogan. Some of the Western Media are basically salivating to see off Erdogan.

It seems the coup is failing.

There have been coups before, they will be fine.

Can democracy really work for Somalis? Meesha filin,

It seems Woyanes have also agitated Amharas as well. http://hornaffairs.com/en/2016/07/14/backgrounder-unrest-gondar-city/

IGAD, Ethiopia and Damjadiid tried but failed in bullying this ugaas.

Ciid wanaagsan,

@Holac said: This is not the right time to be debating trivial matters such as gender equality. This will only help the takfiiri shayadiins. Let us rid the country off these terrorists before we debate gender equality. Trivial?
