Ethiopian refugees protest "kidnapping" of 25 Oromos in Kenya
Dec 26, 2005 (NAIROBI) — Close to 1,000 Ethiopian refugees are camped at the offices of UN High Commission for Refugees in Westlands - Nairobi - protesting against the kidnapping of 25 of their members.
The refugees, all of Oromo origin, claim that the Ethiopian government has sent spies among their midst and is scheming to repatriate them back to Ethiopia.
But Ethiopian Ambassador Murad Musa blames the kidnapping on the Oromo Liberation Front militant group, some of whom are said to be operating in this country.
The refugees do not want to be associated with the group that opposes the Ethiopian government.
An Oromo elder, Geleta Aboye, told the enyan KTN TV "we have a community, there is the Oromo community in this country, in Nairobi and the government of Ethiopia has planted its spies from Oromo community."
Ambassador Musa said "I have sent my diplomat to verify this thing on what’s going on there. And this country as you know is a sovereign country, it has its own structures, security structures. It knows what’s going on here."
An embassy’s function is not kidnapping, embassy’s function is having a direct relationship with its community, Musa said.

Ayenew,I just don't understand how racizt hateful you and your likes are. You are so blinded by your idiot and narrow mind that you are unable to share the grief of fellow Oromos. At least for your own cause of struggling againt the TPLF evil regime, you never dare to comdemn its crime across border, when it is against Oromo. But don't forget that your cousins will face the same chance so long as they insist on opposing Woyane.TPLF's act reveals how much it is frustrated. Woyane is biting whatever it gets on its way like mad dogs. This is only the beginning of the end of TPLF's tyranny.Victory for Oppressed people!

Ayenew: I think you are one of the member of kidnappers. This is not the first time for woyane regime to kidnapped the oromo ppl.But you have to know some points. Without the stability of oromo people, there is no peace in our country. And in Oromia state, everybody hates Woyane regime. Go and ask the ppl of Oromo. We don't want TPLF. period. Go back to your stony and sandy region. Then, Ethiopia will be the powerful country in Africa.
