Despite the fact that all government-controlled media in Ethiopia are propaganda outlets for the TPLF-Woyane regime, some of the Afaan Oromoo TV programs related to culture, recreation, education, linguistics, and international news are loved by millions of Oromos and non-Oromos, who can understand the Afaan Oromoo language. These programs are now eliminated as of Semptember 12, 2008 and replaced by a local program known as STVO, completely prepared by unprofessional OPDO cadres and used by the regime for propaganda purpose. The Oromo people are now denied access to information and international news and are forced to listen and watch only the propaganda of the OPDO, which is a puppet Oromo organization completely controlled by Meles Zenawi and the TPLF.
