A shocking act of child abduction has been executed by PP paramilitaries in Saggoo kebele, Jaardagaa Jaartee district, Horro Guduru Wollega. Armed units launched a raid into a residential compound, violently kidnapping a minor youth named Maaramaa Fayisaa, who is still a young student with no political involvement. Maaramaa was dragged to the central district police station, where he is currently being held in a high-security cell under the standard accusation of supporting the OLA resistance. Local elders have expressed profound horror over the targeting of young children, noting that federal ground forces routinely execute these lawless abductions to retaliate for their ongoing battlefield losses against the liberation army. Simultaneously, a catastrophic humanitarian crisis has been intentionally manufactured by regional PP officials in Booree town, Gujii Bahaa Zone. For consecutive years, the municipal administration has completely withheld all maintenance funds allocated for the town’s public clean water systems. Instead, local cadres have been directly embezzling the water utility fees collected from residents, redirecting the public capital into private real estate projects and regime political campaigns. As a direct consequence, thousands of families are completely denied access to clean drinking water, forcing mothers to trek immense distances to fetch contaminated water from open rivers. This has triggered a massive spike in acute waterborne illnesses among local children, while town officials continue to use armed units to suppress any public demonstrations demanding infrastructure accountability.
A highly exploitative financial campaign has targeted smallholders in the Walda Gammachuu kebele of Meettaa district, East Hararghe. Local PP cadres have introduced an arbitrary “road infrastructure fee,” utilizing firearm coercion to extract 300 Birr from every individual resident. Furthermore, the administration has placed a mandatory 500 Birr extortion fee on the families of all students who are registered to take the upcoming national secondary school examinations, threatening to immediately disqualify any candidate whose parents fail to deliver the cash. Smallholders who were unable to pay these compounding fees, including Maammad Muusaa, Jibiriil Mahaammuud, Shaayii Musaa, and Kaalif Maammad, were arbitrarily arrested and placed in military cells. Meanwhile, a brutal system of forced labor has been established in the Yaaddoo Bobbaasaa kebele of neighboring Ciroo district, West Hararghe. Paranoid over recent OLA tactical advancements, military commanders have imposed a mandatory night-time sentry duty on the entire civilian population. Every night, starting exactly at 8:00 PM, groups of local farmers are forced at gunpoint to stand guard around military encampments and transport corridors without any compensation or protective gear against the freezing climate. Additionally, the district has imposed a predatory quarterly tax of 6,000 Birr on all small marketplace kiosks and food stalls. This continuous economic plunder has forced dozens of small merchants to entirely close their businesses, accelerating economic devastation across West Hararghe.
In Najjoo town, West Wollega, regional security chiefs have established an intensive network of domestic espionage utilizing local turncoats to target Oromo nationalists. A mother of a family named Bojee Guddinaa was arbitrarily arrested and has been held inside the central police cells for over four consecutive months without trial. Investigations reveal that Ms Bojee was falsely accused of maintaining contact with the OLA by local cadres following a private domestic dispute with her spouse. The primary coordinators of these targeted surveillance sweeps and financial shakedowns within Najjoo town have been identified by residents as Taliilaa Tarrafaa, Hirphaa Habash, Ayyaanaa Cammir, Baaruu Leencaa, and Galiilaa Darasoo. These individuals are utilizing the local police apparatus to systematically seize financial assets from prominent Oromo families to fund private real estate acquisitions in Naqamtee and Finfinnee. To reinforce this climate of fear, these exact cadres arrested a local youth, Iyyaasuu Faqqadee, administering a severe beating that left him with permanent physical trauma. The sole justification for his torture was that Iyyaasuu was caught listening to the revolutionary music of the late Oromo national icon, Hacaaluu Hundessa.
A massive human wave conscription campaign has transformed the towns of Bofaa and Boolee in Boosat district, East Shewa, into hunting grounds for fascist press-gangs. Large detachments of federal troops and local cadres established heavily armed blockades around secondary schools. Soldiers intercepted young students who were returning home from their final academic classes, forcefully abducting them along with their school bags and learning materials. These student captives, alongside numerous frail elders pulled directly from their doorsteps, were crammed into military transport trucks and transferred directly to distant infantry training garrisons. This drastic increase in forced abductions directly follows recent public admissions made by Colonel Abiy Ahmed before his parliament, where he declared that the regime possesses endless manpower resources and would aggressively sustain its military campaigns across Oromia for years to come. Simultaneously, a malicious counter-insurgency operation has targeted merchants in the 01 kebele of Jalduu district, West Shewa. Local PP cadres utilized a group of armed defectors to execute the violent kidnapping of a prominent local merchant named Caalaa Gammadaa. Caalaa was placed in an isolation cell and subjected to severe torture to force him to turn over his commercial savings to the local administration. Local residents report that the regime is increasingly employing these armed turncoats, who have abandoned their historic oaths to the Oromo people, to act as specialized torture assets against agrarian communities.
A horrifying extrajudicial execution has devastated a family in Gaamoo Nagaroo kebele, Jimma Gannatii district, Horro Guduru Wollega. A detachment of fascist PP soldiers surrounded the home of Obbo Darajjee Soorii, a peaceful local farmer and father of a family. The soldiers unleashed an automatic weapons barrage directly into his private compound, killing Obbo Darajjee instantly. Following the assassination, the troops abducted his surviving brother, Obbo Fiqaaduu Soorii, dragging him away to a high-security military cell under the standard fabricated accusation of being an OLA intelligence asset. A parallel泄 atrocity of extreme cruelty has been documented in Machaaraa town, Daaroo Labuu district, West Hararghe. Government troops targeted two young men, Aliyyii Abdii and Abraahim Saadiq, executing them via multiple gunshot wounds under the accusation that they were military deserters. Following these killings, local militias raided a residential compound in Roqaa kebele to abduct a young youth named Toofiq Mohaammed. When his mother, Ms Aashaa Aliyyii, a mother of eight children, threw herself over her son to protect him from rifle butts, crying out, “do not slaughter my child,” the soldiers opened fire directly onto her body. Ms Aashaa was killed instantly, while her son was beaten into a state of critical unresponsiveness and dragged to the district police station, where he currently hovers between life and death.
A heinous public execution designed to maximize communal terror has been executed by regime forces in Buukkoo kebele, Laaloo Assaabii district, West Wollega. An outstanding Oromo youth named Maatiwoos Saambatoo Hararu, who was highly respected within his community for his peaceful character, was abducted from his family home by a unit of PP soldiers. The troops dragged him to the central marketplace during peak hours, and in full view of hundreds of assembling shoppers, executed him via an intense volley of automatic rifle fire. The cadres left his body on the street, explicitly warning the public that anyone seeking to remove the remains for burial would face an identical fate. Meanwhile, a severe military panic has gripped the occupational forces stationed in the Saarbee sector of Birinqaas kebele, Nuunnuu Qumbaa district, East Wollega. A large detachment of PP soldiers attempted to execute a sweeping press-gang operation to forcefully enlist local farmers who were actively cultivating their fields. Recognizing the imminent danger, the agrarian community organized a rapid civil retreat, fleeing en masse into the surrounding dense brush. Frustrated by the resistance, the soldiers opened an indiscriminate, heavy weapons barrage into the agricultural fields. While explicit civilian casualty figures are still being verified, the extensive gunfire has forced hundreds of agrarian families to abandon their ancestral lands, leaving them stranded in deep forests without access to food, clean water, or shelter.
