Homecoming of a Pioneer: The Return of Oromia’s First President
By Daandii Oromia
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — In a moment laden with history and emotion, the first President of the Oromia Regional State, Honorable Mr. Hassan Ali, has returned to his homeland, ending nearly three decades of exile. His arrival marks more than a personal journey; it represents a symbolic closing of a long chapter and a deliberate gesture of reconciliation by the current Oromia leadership.
The official welcome, extended by the sitting President of Oromia, Mr. Shimelis Abdisa, was framed not just in political terms, but in the language of profound respect and historical acknowledgment. “It is with the utmost respect that I welcome Mr. Hassan Ali home with his family after nearly three decades,” President Abdisa stated, setting a tone of deference to a foundational figure of the region’s modern autonomy.
The Architect Returns
Mr. Hassan Ali’s presidency in the 1990s came during a formative and volatile period, following the adoption of Ethiopia’s ethnic federalist constitution. He and his contemporaries were tasked with the monumental challenge of building the nascent Oromia Regional State from the ground up—establishing its institutions, defining its administrative contours, and navigating the complex politics of a post-Derg Ethiopia.
In his remarks, President Abdisa explicitly honored this legacy. “They are the pioneers who laid the foundation for the Oromia Regional State to reach this level,” he said. This recognition serves as a formal validation of the struggles and efforts of the region’s early architects, whose work has often been overshadowed by subsequent political turmoil and exile.
“To See the Government He Established”
Perhaps the most poignant element of President Abdisa’s welcome was his focus on the personal significance of this return for Mr. Hassan Ali. “I want to congratulate him today not only on his safe return home with his families; for being able to see the government he established,” Abdisa noted.
For a leader who departed in the early days of the institution he helped create, this return offers a tangible, living assessment of that foundational work. It is an opportunity to witness the evolution of the state structure he pioneered, now led by a new generation. President Abdisa emphasized the resilience of that foundation: “He not only endures all pressures but also strengthen and expand to serve the people he fought for at the home level.”
A Commitment to Broader Reconciliation
Beyond the personal welcome, the current President used the occasion to make a significant policy-oriented declaration, signaling a potential shift toward greater inclusivity. “On behalf of myself and the Oromia Regional Government, I would like to thank them for their roles at all levels and for their services,” he said, offering official gratitude.
He then extended an olive branch that resonated far beyond the single homecoming: “I would like to take this opportunity to confirm that the Oromia Regional State Government is committed to bringing the children of the people who have been away for various reasons back home according to our ancient traditions.”
This statement frames reconciliation not merely as a political process, but as a cultural and social one, rooted in Oromo traditions of conflict resolution and homecoming (Gumaa and Araara). It proposes a pathway for the return of other exiled figures and diaspora communities, suggesting a future where Oromia’s governance is informed by a wider, more diverse set of its native sons and daughters.
A Symbol for the Future
The return of President Hassan Ali, facilitated by the sitting administration, is a powerful symbol. It bridges historical divides, acknowledges foundational contributions, and tests the waters for broader national dialogue. While the long-term political implications remain to be seen, the event itself has been successfully cast as an act of statesmanship and historical unity.
As Mr. Hassan Ali reacquaints himself with a homeland transformed, his presence invites reflection on Oromia’s journey—from the struggle for self-administration to the complex realities of exercising it. His homecoming, wrapped in official honor and traditional promise, may well be remembered as a pivotal moment in the region’s ongoing story of governance, identity, and reconciliation.
Solidarity Beyond Borders: Oromo Community’s Call for Unity
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Melbourne’s Oromo Community Stands in Solidarity with Jewish Australians After Bondi Attack
MELBOURNE, VIC – 19 December 2025 – The Oromo Community in Melbourne has issued a powerful statement of solidarity and support for the Australian Jewish community following the horrific antisemitic terror attack on peaceful Chanukah celebrations in Bondi.
The statement expresses the community’s profound grief and unwavering support for the victims, their families, and all those impacted by the tragedy. “Our deepest condolences, sympathy, and love are with the bereaved families, the injured victims, the courageous first responders, and all members of the Jewish and wider Bondi community impacted by this tragedy,” the statement reads.
In a show of national unity, the Oromo community announced it has joined over 200 civil society organisations across Australia in signing a collective statement against hate, representing millions of Australians.
A Call for Unity and Safety
The community’s Chairperson, Mr. Alemayehu Kube, emphasized the shared values of peace and safety. “Love is what fortifies a community, while violence and hatred only destroy,” said Mr. Kube. “There is no place for hatred and violence in any form. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Jewish community, who have an absolute right to feel safe and be safe in our shared country.”
The statement explicitly frames the attack as an assault on the nation’s core principles, calling it “an affront to the tolerance and inclusion that define our national character.” It asserts that the right to safety is universal and “cannot depend on identity, origin, cultural background, age, or gender.”
A Commitment to Action and Reflection
Beyond words of support, the Oromo community has committed to tangible action, stating it is “committed to deep reflection and meaningful action” in the face of such evil. The statement highlights the long-term trauma of such events, especially for children and families, and calls for a collective national response.
“In this difficult moment, we call on all Australians to come together as one united people,” the statement urges. “Our strength has always resided in our diversity—in people of all faiths and cultures, from over 236 backgrounds, standing side by side in empathy and mutual respect.”
The message concludes with a hopeful vision, advocating for a response of compassion over fear and unity over division. “May we support one another, honour those who have been impacted, and continue building an Australia where every person feels safe, valued, and supported—in both body and mind.”
The full statement from the Oromo Community in Melbourne is available for review.

Police in Oromia Region Confirm Brutal Murder of Bank Employee in Beke Town
Beke, North Shewa Zone – The Oromia Regional Police have confirmed the occurrence of a horrific murder in Beke town, North Shewa Zone, on December 16, 2021.
The victim has been identified as Adanech Kumssa, an employee at the Allaltu branch of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and a resident of Sendafa Beke.
Details of the Incident
- The Relationship: Police sources indicate that the victim and the prime suspect, Mr. Tsegaye Asalifo, were involved in a romantic relationship.
- The Dispute: The crime was reportedly triggered by an argument that erupted between the two while they were dining at a hotel on the evening of the incident. Adanech left the hotel in anger, after which the suspect is alleged to have followed her.
- The Murder: The suspect is accused of forcing Adanech into his car, driving her to a location known as “Gomata,” and murdering her there with a knife.
A Disturbing Discovery
In a particularly distressing development, Commander Negatu Alemu, Head of the Sendafa Beke Police Investigation Department, revealed to the BBC that after committing the crime, the suspect abandoned the body. By the time it was discovered, Adanech’s remains had been scavenged by wild animals.
The Police Investigation
Authorities have ascertained that the suspect abandoned the car used in the crime and the murder weapon in Allaltu town. Police have recovered the vehicle, inside which bloodstains were found, along with the knife, which is being treated as key evidence. The police have stated that an active manhunt is underway to locate and apprehend the suspect.
Final Arrangements
Following the completion of necessary forensic examinations at St. Paul’s Hospital, the victim’s remains were released to her family, who have since conducted funeral rites.
Tensions Rise: Somali State’s Annexation of Oromo Land
OMN, Cinaaqsan, East Hararge– The Somali Regional State has reportedly annexed territory in Cinaaqsan district and established a new district named Daarimuu, escalating longstanding tensions in the border area between Oromia and Somali regions.
Local residents and historical freedom fighters from the area have accused the regional government of launching targeted measures against Oromo communities who opposed the land demarcation process.
Community and Veterans’ Testimonies
Residents and former liberation fighters who previously collaborated with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) claim the Somali Regional State is systematically seizing land at the expense of the Oromo people.
Mr. Xahaa Abdallaa, a local resident and former participant in the area’s liberation struggle, stated that land seizures began earlier and are still ongoing.
Mr. Ibroo Huseen, another former resistance participant, expressed deep concern over the ongoing encroachment on Oromo land. He emphasized that territory once entirely inhabited by Oromo people during the struggle is now under the Somali Regional administration.
Accusations Against the Federal Government
Veteran fighters have pointed fingers at the federal government, alleging it is behind the current campaign against Oromo land. They warned that if the annexation of Oromia’s territory continues unchecked, the region risks being fragmented and absorbed by neighboring zones.
The elders also asserted that the federal government has failed to provide meaningful security or protection for the Oromo people.
Call to Action
In response, the community and former fighters have urged the Oromo public to remain vigilant, organized, and prepared to defend their boundaries against what they describe as a coordinated border assault.

Oromo Communities Under Siege: A 20-Year Conflict Overview
HNN: The Price of Conflict – A Chronicle of Suffering in Chinaksen, Makanniisa Oromo, and Tulluu
Part One: Two Decades of Unrelenting Aggression
For over 20 years, the Oromo communities residing in the lands of Chinaksen, Makanniisa Oromo, and Tulluu have endured relentless attacks. These assaults have been carried out by forces of the Somali Regional State and armed factions of the Somali ethnic group. Living in a state of perpetual siege, these communities have never known a moment free from the threat of violence.
Women and children, in particular, are trapped in an endless cycle of terror and displacement. The joint military operations—codenamed A.L.A—conducted by the Liyu Police of the Somali Region and supported by these armed groups from 2004 to the present have had a singular, brutal objective: to exterminate, dispossess, and erase.
The strategy is systematic: **kill** those who resist, **forcibly displace** the survivors from their ancestral lands, and **loot or destroy** all their property. The victims of this war of aggression are countless. They include Oromo children, women, peaceful civilians, and even Oromia regional militia and police officers, with casualties estimated in the thousands.
The following list names just a fraction of the Oromo individuals killed by Somali attackers. It is not exhaustive and primarily documents victims from 2020 onward. A forthcoming analysis will provide detailed statistics on the total casualties (2020-2025), the scale of property destruction, and the systematic looting that has accompanied this campaign of forced displacement.

Akkasitti, korommiin Michillee fi Gadaa Oromoo hanbaa osoo wal hin dhiifatin, boolla takkatti galtaniiru. 😭
