let us hope he will be found safe and sound. he is an exceptional oromo singer who contributed much to oromo culture and political struggle. he has practically paid a lot for oromo struggle not only through his voice unlike singers like Qamar who is back in Ethiopia claiming the system change at this exact moment of imprisonment and disappearance of oromo people for a bit of cash. [ shame on you Ali birra, Qamar, shantam]
