This Week in Oromo History (Week of September 3rd) - Remembering Elemoo Qilxuu:

The Oromo guerrilla activities in Charchar mountains created a great deal of fear among the naftanya and junta circles in the early days of September 1974. The government deployed a special force in the area where the guerrillas were operating and carried out mass genocide on an innocent civilian population. The guerrilla leader, Hassen Ibrahim, popularly known by his name De Geurre - Elemo Qilixxu - was martyred on September 5, 1974. He and his comrades died for the self-determination of Oromia, which still motivates millions of Oromo. READ more Oromo history at the Oromo Chronology @ Gadaa.com.
