A Qebena Imam refers to Gurage as a herd

Post by Dama » 06 Oct 2025, 18:14

Dehumanization, genocide and displacement go hand-in-hand together. Qebena is an impoverished and mostly illiterate 20-25,000 who settled on West Gurage having been driven out from Arsi by northward migration of Oromo. Their language is related to Hadiya.
64% of the Qebena Special Weteda population is Gurage on which Qebena imposed its language without a right to their own Gurage language. And, Gurage's ate not allowed to serve in the administration of the Qebena Special Wereda. They have demanded the Ethiopian Parliament to join Gurage in a referendum more than a decade ago but ignored so far.
The Qebena terrorism/rebellion against Gurage is believed to have been initiated and supported by Abiy Ahmed tyrannical gov.
Ato Whorus, you have the power to stop this genocide against Gurage.
