Demand#5 of the Oromo Students at Jimma University: "Stop Evicting Oromo Farmers and Grabbing Land"

Recently (March 2, 2015 to be exact), Oromo students at Jimma University sent an appeal letter detailing their demands of human rights to the Jimma University administration, to offices of the State of Oromia, to the people of Oromia all over the world, and to national and international human rights organizations.

Today, we feature DEMAND#5 from the Oromo students’ demands of human rights:

“5. We demand that selling of land by the name of development and investment by evicting Oromo farmers from their ancestral land be stopped. We also demand that appropriate compensation be given to thousands of Oromo farmers evicted from Finfinne area and other towns, and that their land be given, be resettled back on their land.”
