Oromo diaspora from across Europe will gather in the Place Jean Rey of Brussels to protest the ongoing and systemic degradation of human rights within Ethiopia . Oromos and other natinalities will then proceed to the European Commission Berlaymont Building. for one day,to draw public attention to the human rights situation in Ethiopia and urge the European Commission to condemn the Ethiopian longstanding disdain for human rights and disregard for the international covenants which it has signed and which are intended to safeguard these rights. To present ipetition of information regarding the abuses to key figures within the European Commission, European Council, European Parliament, and the African, Caribbean, Pacific Group of States. The ipetition will call upon the institutions to act in support of the Oromo people of Ethiopia and means of pressure the Ethiopian government to respect its human rights obligations. This protest has been sparked by the most recent catalogue of abuses in the district of Oromia more 400 dead and 1000 are displced. government. With no protection, 1000 have been forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in make shift camps without any meaningful aid from the Ethiopian government. This is occurring at the same time as Ethiopia is enduring a major drought and resource scarcity has become a tool of regime maintenance and covering the real face the government from out side world. we call upon the EU,US UN World Bank human rights groups to take measure against gross human right violation. we call Oromos and all opperssed nationalitie stand against Human Right violation.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam so fast because seeing all these names pile up makes the situation feel so much less isolated. It is wild to think about how all of you are reaching out from everywhere to demand that the European Commission finally looks at what is happening in Oromia instead of just ignoring the camps and the crisis.
