አቧራው ጬሷል። ግለቱ ጨምሯል። ሙቀቱ አይሏል። የሳይበሩ ጦርነት ተጋግሏል። በሁሉም ወገኖች ትርፍና ኪሳራው ገና አልተሰላም። ከመነሻው ትርፋማ መሆኑ የተረጋገጠለት ህዝባዊ ወያኔ ሀርነት ትግራይ ዘና ፡ ከወንበሩ ለጠጥ ብሎ በትዝብት ፈገግታ ሁለቱን ወገኖች ይመለከታል። ቢቻለው ካራ አቀብሎ የፌስ ቡኩ ጦርነት ደም ወደ ሚያፋስስ ዕልቂት ቢቀየርለት ምንኛ በመረጠ?!

በእርግጥ እያሰበበት ነው። የመረጃ ምንጮቼ ሹክ እንዳሉኝ ከሆነ የህወሀት ስሌት እስከ እልቂቱ የሚሻገር ነው። ሰሞንኛዋ ግርግርም አራት ኪሎ ቤተመንግስ ተቀምራ፡ ዋሽንግተን ዲሲ በህወሀት ኤምባሲ ተከሽና በእነ ጃዋር መሀመድ ታውጃ፡ ሺዎች በደመነፍስና በስሜታዊነት የተቀላቀሉት ስለመሆኑ ከበቂም በላይ መረጃው አለኝ።

ለዛሬ መረጃዎቹን ላካፍላችሁ። ማስረጃዎቹን እየጠበኩኝ ነው። የድምጽና የፎቶግራፍ ማስረጃዎቹ ከእጄ እንደገቡ ጀባ እንደምላችሁ ከወዲሁ ቃል እገባለሁ። በእርግጥ አንድ ላይ ላወጣቸው ነበር እቅዴ። ሆኖም የጬሰው አቧራን እየቃሙ ላሉት ወገኖች በተወሰነ ደረጃ ሰከን እንዲሉ፡ ሰማይ ምድሩን የበጠበጠው ንትርክ የኦሮሞ ህዝብን ብሶት ለመግለጽ ታስቦ  ሳይሆን በህወሀት መንደር ተዘጋጅቶ የቀረበ መርዛማ አጀንዳ መሆኑን በቶሎ እንዲያውቁት በሚል መረጃዎቹን ብቻ ላፈነዳቸው ፈለኩ። ሁለት ናቸው

Saudi Arabia: Labor Crackdown Violence (Human Rights Watch)

Ethiopian Workers Allege Attacks, Poor Detention Conditions

(Beirut) –  Ethiopian migrant workers have been the victims of physical assaults, some of them fatal, inSaudi Arabia following a government crackdown on foreign workers. Many workers seeking to return home are being held in makeshift detention centers without adequate food or shelter.

Human Rights Watch spoke to five Ethiopian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. Four Ethiopians in Riyadh told Human Rights Watch that the attacks began after November 4, 2013, when authorities resumed a campaign to arrest foreign workers who they claim are violating labor laws. Security forces have arrested or deported tens of thousands of workers. Saudi officials and state-controlled media have said that migrant workers have also been responsible for violence, including attacks on Saudi citizens, in the wake of the crackdown.

“Saudi authorities have spent months branding foreign workers as criminals in the media, and stirring up anti-migrant sentiment to justify the labor crackdown,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director. “Now the Saudi government needs to rein in Saudi citizens who are attacking foreign workers.”

Saudi authorities should immediately investigate assaults on Ethiopian and other migrant workers by security forces and Saudi citizens, and hold those responsible for violent crimes to account, Human Rights Watch said. Saudi and Ethiopian authorities should work to speedily repatriate undocumented foreign workers waiting in makeshift holding centers, if they have no fear of returning home, and ensure that they get adequate food, shelter, and medical care.

The most violent attacks occurred on the evening of November 9 in areas around the Manfouha neighborhood of southern Riyadh, where Ethiopian residents make up a majority of residents, according to local activists. Two Ethiopian migrant workers told Human Rights Watch that they saw groups of people they assumed to be Saudi citizens armed with sticks, swords, machetes, and firearms, attack foreign workers.
