Oromo community in SA appeals to President Ramaphosa to intervene in Ethiopian violenceShare this article: Share Tweet Share Share Share Email ShareCAPE TOWN - The Oromo Community of South Africa has accused Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of "political cleansing" of the Oromo people and urged South African President and African Union (AU) chairman Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene. “What we fear is that the government is instigating this kind of war between community to community,” Abdurahman said. The TV stations, Oromo Media Network (OMN), Asrat, and Dimtsi Weyane, are linked to the three ethnic groups - the Oromos, Amharas, and the Tigrayans. Abdurahman said he did not believe the TV stations were inciting tensions, adding that OMN in particular, had a multicultural narrative. He claimed that Abiy wanted to create a homogeneous culture in the country and was clamping down on these TV stations because of the multicultural narrative.
