Who would forget how Woyane terrorized those mourners and protesters whose loved ones were murdered by ISIS in Libya?

Selam, my suggestion is you start a blog, where you meticulously list all the crimes committed in 25 years. With names, dates, victim interviews (if possible) etc. It can be used as reference to scholars & historians but even possibly in a court of law, if they happen to be arrested & indicted.

There are ample documents showing that Woyane security forces murdered about 5000 Ethiopians in subsequent uprisings until 2013:

 According to informed sources, local and regional officials of the security services committed more than 20 extrajudicial killings in 1994. In at least one case thought to be politically motivated, in August government security officers assassinated the deputy mayor of Gode. According to credible reports, in July EPRDF soldiers fired at five unarmed young men in Debre Zeit, killing two and wounding two others. At year's end, the Government had not begun a public investigation of either of these incidents or punished those responsible.(U.S. Department of State Country Report on Human Rights Practices 1994 – Ethiopia, 30 January 1995)

 Between February- March, 2000, the government killed at least one and arrested more than 300 Oromo students who were protesting against government’s failure to extinguish forest fire which consumed Ethiopia’s less than 3% tropical rainforest mostly located in the Oromia region. (Human Rights Watch Vol. 15, No. 2 (A) – January 2003 )
 In December 2000, close to 200 Addis Ababa University Oromo students, who protested against the use of derogatory words to humiliate the Oromo students over university campuses by TPLF agents, were arrested and beaten to death by the government security forces.( Human rights Watch Vol. 15, No. 2 (A) – January 2003)

 In 2001, the government security forces killed more than16 Addis Ababa University and high school students who were protesting for greater academic freedom in the country. During this protest more than 250 students were wounded by live bullets while more than 2,500 were detained including country’s leading human rights advocates.

 In 2002, Oromo students protest against systematic educational and economic discrimination against the Oromo people were met with government security and military brutality resulting in a number of death and detentions.

 The security forces committed many unlawful killings, including some alleged political killings during the year. The number of unlawful killings during the year was estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,500. There continued to be numerous unconfirmed reports of unlawful killings by government security forces from Oromiya and the Somali regions. (US Country report 2002)

 In 2003, Amnesty International estimated that the Ethiopian government has imprisoned and held incommunicado several thousand people accused of links with the OLF without charge. Amnesty has also noted numerous reports of extra-judicial killings of civilians by the police and the army in the Oromo region.( Amnesty International Report 2003 – Ethiopia,28 May 2003)

 In 2004 protest by Addis Ababa University Oromo students resulted in the detention, torture and summary dismissal of more than 350 University students. Other similar public protests all over Oromia region were brutally repressed leading to a number of death, detention and dismissal of students and teachers from schools. The government also detained top leaders of a local Oromo self-help community organizations including Mecha-Tulema Association (MTA) , and banned the Organization. The government further responded by tightening control and monitoring the daily life of the people by establishing administrative units of control at lowest community and household levels. In the same year, more than 700 Oromo high school students who fled to neighboring Kenya were handed over to the Ethiopian government security forces by the Kenyan authorities. The whereabouts of those returned to Ethiopia remained unknown. Although a number of cases of death were reported by human rights organizations; the details of these killings, torture, disappearances and other ill-treatments of Oromo students, teachers, community leaders and civilian population largely remain uninvestigated against the Oromos, in Tepi and other towns in Oromia and Ogaden regions of the country. No investigations were carried out into these massacres, and the perpetrators remain at large (OSG report)

 After notifying government officials, MTA organized a peaceful demonstration on January 4, where approximately 10,000 Oromo residents of Addis Ababa and its environs gathered at Meskel Square in the city center to urge the federal Government to reverse its decision to transfer the capital of Oromiya from Addis Ababa to Adama (formerly known as Nazret). Police reportedly beat and arrested demonstrators including elders, youth, and women. The Government claimed that the MTA did not have the required permit to conduct the rally. All demonstrators were released and no action was taken against the police(USA report 2004)

 The year 2005 was another watershed in Ethiopia’s human rights and political history. The government held its first ever contested national election including opposition parties on May 15, 2005. The processes leading up to the election were largely credited as transparent and participatory by international election observers until the outcome was reversed and marred with fraud and violence of the ruling party against the opposition parties and the civilian population. The democratic process was terminated on the evening of the Election Day. Soon after the government realized that it had lost the election to the opposition parties in the capital and other part of the country, the Prime Minister declared a state of emergency suspending citizen’s fundamental human rights. He took control of the police forces, the military and the national security forces, and declared his party the winner of the election. What followed the Election Day was a national nightmare. In two public protests in June and November 2005, more than 193 civilians were killed by heavily armed security forces, more than 700 wounded, and 30,000 people including leaders of the opposition.

 In February 2009, police shot and killed one student, wounded another in the chest and arrested two more during protests at Gedo Secondary School in West Shoa zone, Oromia. (US Department of State, 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - Ethiopia (Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, 11 March 2010)

 In January 2010, Oromia police shot two unarmed students, one fatally, during a disturbance at Ardayta College; one policeman was found guilty of murder and imprisoned(US Department of State, 2010 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - Ethiopia (Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, 8 April 2011); and “Ethiopia: College riot claims life,” The Reporter, 10 January 2010.)

 On 27 April 2013, at least four people were killed and eight others wounded by security forces during demonstrations in Asasa town, Oromia region. The conflict erupted after security forces, attempted to detain Sheik Su'udi Aman, directly following a sermon in which he criticized government policy.Kifu

We Weyane treated Amhara and Oromo political prisoners with respect and honor, we even gave them new laptops and free WiFi access inside the prisons to take online university courses, after which we sent them on a Weyane-paid scholarship to top American universities to get their PhD and doctorate degrees. We Weyane aren't so bad. This is my Weyane brother Awash said in 2012. 8) 8)

But, we Weyane aren't so bad, are we? At least we're not gonna lock your people up in metal shipping containers or underground cells. You can also worship what ever religion you want to worship. And, when you come out of prison, you can still have your mental faculties intact to pursue higher education in Ivy league college in the U.S. Best of all, you will have your culture and customs respected and preserved for generations to come.

You’ve mastered Woyane’s ratatouille psyche.
