ADDUNYAA CUBBUUT DHUGAA MOOHE

ADDUNYAA CUBBUUT DHUGAA MOOHE

"Ni dhageeysaa ka'i hin callisin harmee
Hin rafinii ka'i maa callifta mee!"

Jedhee ilmi booye imimmaan harcaasee
Inni way hubatee akka diinni ajjeese
Haadha biraa gatuun ilma dirret dhiisee
Fira-dhablee gootee kophaa isa hambise.
Tan isaa fakkeenyaa hunda wahin ibsee
Takka takkaan himuuf hin fixu barreeysee.

Guddaa bira tartee daa'iman hanqannee
Silaa tan gurguddaa waan heerrega hin qabnee
Hedduu roorrifaman takkaa addan cinnee
Fala wallaalleeti namuu afaan qabanne.

Imimmaan harcaase namuu,garaa dadhabatee
Firummaaf mitii namummaaf laalatee
Gochaa suukanneessaa oftuultoonni raawwate
Warri addunyaa ofiin yaamtu,harka isii marattee
Kan silaa dhimmamus afaan cuqqaallate.

Matootiin shira xaxxooni ifiif wal gurmeeysee
Mataa walit qabuun hariiroo diriirsee
Fakkaattoota isaanii if jala hiriirsee
Kan mirga ifiif falmu uggura irra keeysee
Waanuma if taheef guddina hanqise.

Kanneen guddinaan haalaan qaroome,
Maqumasaa qofaan gaditti laalamee
Akka hin guddanne itti kiyyeeffamee
Mataa gad-qabuun cubbuun daboolame.

Tan silaa guddittii, tan yaamnuun ardii nagayaa
Jattee calliftee laalte, "an maaltu naan gayaa"
Sa yoo hundi callise kamtu waliif nayaa?
Cabbutti harka kannuun fala namaaf tayaa?

Addunyaa cubbuut dhugaa moohee
Walirratti gatee eenyuut waliif nahee
Dhugaan awwaalamtee shirri dirree bahee
If tahanii jiraachuun shororkeessaa tahe.

Yaa cunqurfamtoota Yaa warra addunyaa
Yaa kan itti hadheessan jiruu fi jireenya
Obsumaan abdannee Rabbii keenya
Abad fuulduraaf injifannoon teenya!!!

~~MOOSINNI NI DABRA!~~



Abdii hin kutatin teessee hin hifatin
Hiraarteen cinqatin ustee hin rakkatin
Ifiin if eergartee Nama hin komatin!

Osoo human qabduu odoo yeroon jirtuu
Kan ariitee qabdu osoo fiiydee baatuu
Moosinni ni dabraa Umriin hin dhaabbattuu
Yeroon takka deemnaan namaaf hin deebituu
Sirumaa hallettuu Keessatti waan waartuu
Si harkaa baanaan lammadan-dhalattuu
Tana yoon saammatin eenyu kan komattuu?

Danta-dhabaan hifattee Calliftee dhiiftee
Qaama qucaacsitee Sammuu adoolsitee
Harka marattee Miila ulfeeysitee
Garaa addeeysitee Mataan yoo maratte,
Eenyu kan komattu  gaafa yeroon kutte?

Jahan fayyaa si harka jirtii
Sumaan ajajamtii
Ka’ii tattaafadhu malli kan abbaatii
Abbbuma qabattii
Kan sirra siif yaadu hin jiru namuutii
Dammaqii sossoo’i hin taphatin fitti.

Gaafa yeroon kuttee waa hundi raawwatte
Hoggaa waa martinuu bakka qaqqabatte
Yeroo dubbiin hundi sitti gara galte;
Gaafa san atis kunoo sheenaa duutee
Silaan akkas ta’een quba if ciniinte.

Kan hiraanni shuummoo yeroon irra kaayyataa
Okkotee beelaa abbat jala shidataa
Yooniif tattaafatte tan yaadde argattaa
If dagattee muuynaan hirriibni siin kuta.

Gaafa gadaa ifii yeroo saammatanii
Jiruufi jireenyi yoo tattaafatanii
Kana tahuu baannaan humaatuun taranii
Ifii Daddabanii Rabbin sakkabanii
Dunquqquu jalatti ciisteen muusahinii
Hirriibarraa ka’i abjuun sin sobinii!

Xiinxalii hubadhuu ifiin if gaafadhuu
Bal’isii yaadii sirritti qoradhuu
Dhugaa fitti himii hifannoo lagadhuu
Dhaamsa kanas hujirra oolfadhu!

Yaabo mee dhagayi hin didin namanaa
Himan-diddeen booddeen isii sheenaa
Gowwoomanii hafuun abbumaaf salphinaa
Kunoo sitti gabaa gorsi kiyya kanaa.
Kunoo sitti gabaa gorsi kiyya kanaa.

#OromoProtests


At the Ambo Massacre, Oromos were targeted on the the basis of their ethnicity by Tigrigna-speaking security forces who don't speak the victims' language, Afan Oromo. 

Students from Ambo University and 11 high schools from the area were peacefully protesting the master plan designed to commit a systematic ethnic-cleansing against an estimated 8-10 million Oromo people from several Oromia's cities and rural districts over 10 years.  




 So far, many of the victims of the brutality have not been identified by name, age and gender, but most of them are high school and university students.  Endale Desalegn (pictured above), a 9th grade student; and Tasfayee Gashe, also a 9th grade student from Liban Macha High School in Ambo, were among the confirmed 30 students and residents gunned down by heavily armed Ethiopia's TPLF soldiers.  An eyewitness in the Afan Oromo audio above describes a horrific scene of how families carrying corpses were made to abandon corpses and flee under heavy fire.   


To save themselves from further atrocities and to prevent the convoys from crossing over to Wallaga and carrying out similar atrocities, Qeerro reported that residents of Ambo and its surrounding fell big trees and blocked main roads going west at 16 different places. 


The Tigrean Peoples Liberation Front government soldiers doing the killings were seen heavily armed not with AK-47, but with high-tech foreign weapons never seen in the area before. While they were taking Oromo lives by many dozens,  the soldiers were seen wearing bulletproof vests to spare their own lives even when they knew people were unarmed.

The protest against the ethnic-cleansing master plan, the Addis Ababa Master Plan, is spreading from universities, to high schools, elementary schools and to rural areas involving a diverse cross section of the Oromo public. 

Despite the non-violent and unarmed nature of the protest all over Oromia, the Ethiopian government has  responded to Oromo questions with heavy violence, which has been its tradition for the last 24 years of  TPLF tyranny.

In a related news, the TPLF soldiers fired on students of Madda Walabu University and residents of Robe town in Bale, southern Oromia.  Widespread violent crackdown and arrests were reported at Adama University, Dire Dawa University and many high schools in the area. 

Frustrated by the tragic news of massacre coming out of Oromia, Oromos in the diaspora tried to tip international media such as CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera, BBC and CBS to cover the events, but the media have so far turned deaf ears to the plight of the Oromo people just like many of the countries they are based in have done. 

Many on social media expressed disappointment that such a major breaking/developing news is denied international attention. Even one killing by a government who is not a US ally is sure to make it to mainstream American media, but in the case of the Oromo, the gruesome killings of tens of people on the basis of ethnicity are swept under the rug because Ethiopia is considered a US ally in the Horn. 

Advocates for  Human Dignity, a human rights non-profit based in the United States, issued a press release and condemned the widespread crackdown against peaceful protesters in Oromia, saying: 
    
It is with deep concern that Advocates for Human Dignity learned of the appalling and atrocious acts of human rights violations by the Ethiopian go-vernment against peaceful public protesters and innocent university and high school students in Oromia region. In different districts of the region including Ambo, Bale, Adama, Dire Dawa, Gimbi and Dembi Dollo, where students and the public went out on the street to claim their constitutional right, the government responded with bullets and beatings and dozens are reported dead.... AHD expresses its concern that the government of Ethiopia continue to diminish its own citizens by extra-judicial killings and dispossession of indigenous people from their heritages. We strongly condemn the widespread and systematic violations of human rights - See more at

The Oromo protests across Oromia state is a developing story and the number of people killed, injured, arrested and disappeared will emerge gradually. The most concerning issue is the fact that the violence against Oromo are not receiving attention commensurate with the amount of violence suffered everyday under Ethiopia's regime.

DUBBADHU FINFINNEE



Dubbadhu Finfinnee maaliif nu calliftaa?
Ati tan eenyuuti sodaa maaliif ustaa?
Dubbadhu har’aa yeroon ati dubbattuu
Baaqaa fi callaa kan adda nuuf baaftu
Sagalee olfuudhi callisuun hin taatuu.

Gafarsaaf Qabbannaa,Aqaaqiif Gullallee
Kolfeef Kotobee,Birbirsaaf Boolee
Warri habashootaa sirratti wal-lolee
Dubbadhu yaa Shaggar callisuun hin mallee.

Yaa lafa seenaa haadhoo too yaa tiruu
Diinni maalumaaf sitti wal jijjiiruu?
Hanga yoom obsita,maaf callifte garuu?

Yaa lafa seenaa tan Maccaa –Tuulamaa
Handhuura Oromoo Booranaa Bareentumaa
Habashoonni maaliif lafa tantee saamaa?
Dhiiroo dubbadhu mee yeroon tantee ammaa.

“Ani tan Oromooti!” jedhii mee dubbadhu
Gootoota kee jaboo kalee san yaadadhu
Lammiin-tee si yaamtii mee jalaa owwaadhu
Amma booda gahee mataa ol qabadhu.

Warri kaabaa garayyuun si marsee
Adda si kitifee lammii-tee facaasee
Jarri naasuun qabne bar sitti roorrisee
Garuu maa callifte? Akkamiin dandeessee?

Nafxanyaan kaleessa waan meeqa si gootee
Odaa yaa’aa Gullallee;siidatti geeddartee
Seexaana gurraacha lafakeerra goote
Eegaa gaaf-sanillee hacuuccaaf calliftee
Har’a hoo maal tahuuf afaan kee qabattee?

Isaantu sit-dhufee ati ittin dheeynee
Koottaa jettees bar waa hin waammannee
Si keessat quufanii warri galatan hin beeyne,
Duuba maaf si miidhu,dubbadhu Finfinnee.

Jaarraa tokkoon dura alagoonni hin turree
Jarri ergasumaa si keessat wal guuree
Addaan si mogolee bakka meeqatti ciree
Maqaa kiristinnaan kan duraa jijjiiree
Akka fedhasaanii fuudhuun waliif hire.

Jarattiin of-qolli way sittti hambisanii
Maqaa kee dhiisanii ofiin moggaasanii
Afaan kee dhooysanii dursan kan isaanii
Tan ofii mul’isuun Aadaa-tee ukkaamsanii
Si dhabamsiisuu-dha jarri kan hedanii
Mormii mee falmadhu laaftuttin laalinii.
Dubbadhu Finfinnee nu jalaa hin didinii.


Dubbadhu akkas jedhii sabni si dhagayaa,
“An tan Oromooti,ilmaan Oromiyaa
Gabrummaan kaleessaa asirrat naaf gaya”
Akkas jedhii kunoo mirga keef falmadhu!
Si dhabamsiisuufii, Finfinnee dubbadhu!

Biyyaaf biyyoo isaa tan Oromoo bira tartee alagallee quubsitu irratti abbaa biyyummaa dhabee lubbuu isaa baasuuf erga baqachuu eegalee baroota dheeraa lakkoofsisee jira.Biyyoota ollaa garaa garaa keessattis lubbuun baqatee kolu galtummaan jireenya wabii hin qabne jiraachaa jira. Yeroo garaa garaatti biyyoota akka Kenya,Somaaliyaa,Suudan,Jibuutii fi tan biraa keessattis rakkoo deddeebi'uun irra gayaa jirtuun dararamaa,ajjeefamaa fi hidhamaa jiru.Biyya isaa irraa lubbuun biyyaa bahee biyya ambaattis kan lubbuun isaa mootummaa biyya itti baqateen qisaas tate lakkoofsa hin qabu.

Ergaramni baqattoota Oromoo irratti gahaa jiru kun kan yeroo takkaa fi lamaa osoo hin taane,irra deddeebi'uun kan godhamaa jiru.Qaamni isaaniif dhimmamus hanga arraatti waa hin argamne.Dhaabbiileen dhimma Baqattootaaf falmina jedhanis furmaanni isaan kennan tokko hin jiru.Yeroo gochaan suukanneessaan baqattoota irra gahu harka maratanii taa'uu malee isaanii dhimmamu hin agarre. Baqattoonnis carraa biraa waan hin qabneef jiruu qarree afaanii tan wabii hin qabnetti harka ifii kannatanii jiraachuu itti fufan.
