Jawar Mohammed Biography: the Interesting Profile of an Influential Man Jawar Mohammed Biography: The Interesting Profile of an Influential Man Jawar Mohammed is the energetic, dynamic and controversial political face of the majority of young Ethiopian Oromo’s, who now have been given the green light to freely participate in the country’s changing political scene. It is evident that he now has a wide reaching network that spans across continents, namely, the Americas, Europe, and obviously Africa. Jawar has perfected the art of disseminating his views to reach his massive audience base through the expert use of the many media outlets, some of which he runs. His OMN (Oromia Media Network) was a constant source of information for those hoping to hear and watch the news from a TV broadcast that was not associated with the government. Furthermore, Jawar’s handling of Facebook with a following of no less than 1.2 million people, as well as, his skillful use of various other social media tools has helped firmly place him as an important and influential leader in today's ever changing Ethiopian political landscape. Jawar Mohammed: Childhood Jawar Mohammed was born in Dumuga (Dhummugaa), a small and quiet rural town located on the border of Hararghe and Arsi within the Oromia region of Ethiopia. His parents were considered to be one of the first in the area to have an inter-religious marriage. Some estimates claim that Dumuga, is largely an Islamic town, with over 90% of the population adhering to the Muslim faith. His father being a Muslim opted to marry a Christian woman, thereby; the young couple destroyed one of the age old social norms and customs in Dumuga. This situation placed Jawar in a unique position at a young age to learn a great deal about society’s effect on family through either negative or positive social affairs. Nevertheless, theirs was a peaceful marriage with both families reportedly doing their best to make one another feel accepted. Jawar has time and time again stated that this vital aspect of his upbringing has played a crucial role in the shaping of his beliefs towards religious tolerance. In Dumuga, Jawar’s childhood can be characterized as average for the young boys of the area. Young children are expected to spend as much time as they can with their elders, for the specific purpose of gaining knowledge and wisdom. Jawar, therefore, learned about history, law, and politics from his grandparents and their acquaintances. One insightful lesson he derived from these interactions were the comparisons that he made of his father’s and grandfather’s generations. He believes that elders of his grandfather’s generation were more prone to be open and free in their communication with the young, as opposed to his father’s more conservative generation. Yet in still, Jawar claims to have great “admiration and respect” for the people which made up the 60’s and 70’s generation. He believes them to have been progressive, selfless, and dedicated. When the time came, he enrolled and attended the town’s elementary school but was told to leave and stop his education before completing his studies. This could be seen as providential, because it enabled him to continue his studies in institutions of greater and greater quality. The larger city of Assela was Jawar’s next move, and there he attended a Catholic school for about a year. Constantly in motion, Jawar Mohammed, once again left the Catholic school and enrolled at Cilaalo Secondary School, which he completed in a year’s time. Consequently, Adama or Nazareth, Ethiopia’s second largest city and the capital of the Oromia Region, was our young traveler’s new home. Here in this bustling city, Jawar took the High School National Exam, a nerve-racking experience for most Ethiopian students. Jawar Mohammed's Education In 2003, with exemplary results from his life as a young student, Jawar Mohammed, as fortune would have it, got accepted to a college in the affluent country of Singapore. Here at the United World College of South East Asia, Jawar began to show his inclination for developing his knowledge for all matters pertinent to his Oromo heritage. He began by studying Afaan Oromoo, the language of the Oromo’s, among his other course work for the college. The two years Jawar spent in Singapore would see him mingle with students from over sixty countries around the world along with over a hundred languages being spoken. With his small town upbringing, being thrown into a world full of new cultural and linguistic aspects caused young Jawar to experience the culture shock of his life. But barriers are made to be broken and Jawar took it to the next level by learning to assimilate into the new environment he was in. In accordance with this assimilation, he began to take his school work more seriously, and along with it came an opportunity of a lifetime. Programs offered by the college, afforded him the chance to travel to various countries throughout North America, Asia, and Europe for the purpose of learning from historical sites, gaining experience from volunteering, and organizing conferences that serve the youth. This life changing experience for Jawar helped him get a better understanding of the world’s multi cultural nature and to see how his own country’s oft times troublesome situation is far from unique. Once again on the move, Jawar in 2005, upon completing his studies in the Asian country of Singapore moved to California in the United States. He furthered his education in the renowned institute of higher learning called Stanford University located in the heart of Northern California’s vibrant “Silicon Valley”, the hotbed of modern tech, which comprises of companies such as Google, Yahoo!, and Hewlett-Packard. Perhaps his new home was the perfect match for the dynamic Jawar. It could be inferred that his close proximity to the world’s home of tech, led to his expertise in the use of social media and such platforms of communication. By 2009, Jawar encountered two blessings, one in the form of a marriage to the love of his life, Arfaase Gemeda, and the other an undergraduate degree in Political Science. Upon completing his studies in Stanford University, he left for the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., and did an internship there. The ever active, Jawar, went on to conduct his own independent research, till it was time to return to his education for his graduate studies. He chose to study in another internationally respected institute of higher learning; Columbia University. Located in Upper Manhattan, New York City, the school is a private Ivy League research university, very suitable for the aspiring researcher and writer. He went on to leave Columbia Unversity's Graduate School in 2012, claiming that his studies helped give him the philosophical and theoretical understanding to the beliefs and experiences he had already held. Jawar as a Young Activist Looking to promote his views and beliefs on Ethiopian and in particular Oromo politics, Jawar began by going on an offensive against the OLF or Oromo Liberation Front, through articles discussing their failure. The OLF was and is the premiere Oromo opposition group that fought against the Derg communist regime and more recently they have been vehemently attacking the EPRDF or Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, the current government in Ethiopia and their one-time allies. Through articles such as “Failure to Deliver: The Journey of the Oromo Liberation Front in the Last Two Decades”, Jawar was clearly able to express his views on the Oromo’s political situation. Jawar Mohammed presented himself as an activist at a time when there was an obvious vacuum in leadership, with the OLF disintegrating and Oromo’s at large becoming disillusioned. But here was a young activist who was obviously well educated and had a knack for piecing his ideas in a way that the mass public could easily comprehend. The fading elder members of the OLF were unable to reverse the organizational and ideological crumbling of their group, leaving the door wide open for a new voice. But attacking the OLF and the EPRDF through articles were not to be his only methods of promoting his campaign for the fresh revival of Oromo opposition politics. Jawar as a Youth Organizer The International Oromo Youth Association, was founded by Jawar Mohammed in response to the lack of a coherent and organized Oromo youth group operating within the often polarized Diaspora. With his earlier experiences in the field of organizing conferences and summits around the globe, he approached the Oromo youth with a naïve enthusiasm for a quick solution to the myriad of problems facing their society. One of which, was to stay away from the internal politics of the Oromo society, and remain nonpartisan. Despite this, the youthful energy emanating from both founder and members, enabled the group to grow, and within two years they had successfully completed several projects. But to grow further, and to affect meaningful change, Jawar knew that he could no longer remain on the sidelines when it came to expressing his ideas on political issues dealing with the overall Oromo issue. Along with this realization, he also went through a period of self doubt and crisis of confidence, in which, he began to question the adequacy of his knowledge pertaining to all things Oromo. The next two years of Jawar’s life can be characterized as a period of self discovery and learning while keeping free from politics and the youth group. He attended the prestigious Oxford University in England for a semester, the school is a collegiate research center known for being the oldest university in the English-speaking world.

  • Ethiopia Elections 2021: Journalist Safety Kit
    Ethiopia elections 2021: Journalist safety kit Ethiopia is scheduled to hold general elections later this year amid heightened tensions across the country. Military conflict broke out in the Tigray region in November 2020, and is ongoing; over the past year, several other regions have witnessed significant levels of violence and fatalities as a result of protests and inter-ethnic clashes, according to media reports. Voters line up to cast their votes in Ethiopia's general election on May 24, 2015, in Addis Ababa, the capital. Ethiopians will vote in general elections later in 2021. (AP/Mulugeata Ayene) At least seven journalists were behind bars in Ethiopia as of December 1, 2020, according to CPJ research, and authorities are clamping down on critical media outlets, as documented by CPJ and media reports. The statutory regulator, the Ethiopia Media Authority, withdrew the credentials of New York Times correspondent Simon Marks in March and later expelled him from the country, alleging unbalanced coverage. The regulator has sent warnings to media outlets and agencies, including The Associated Press, for their reporting on the Tigray conflict, according to media reports. Journalists and media workers covering the elections anywhere in Ethiopia should be aware of a number of risks, including--but not limited to--communication blackouts; getting caught up in violent protests, inter-ethnic clashes, and/or military operations; physical harassment and 1 intimidation; online trolling and bullying; and government restrictions on movement, including curfews. CPJ Emergencies has compiled this safety kit for journalists covering the elections. The kit contains information for editors, reporters, and photojournalists on how to prepare for the general election cycle, and how to mitigate physical and digital risk.

The evolving conflict has already sparked atrocities, spurred refugee flows, and strained relations among countries in the region. The reported role of neighboring Eritrea in the hostilities heightens the risk of a wider conflict. After being hailed for his reforms and efforts to pursue peace at home and in the region, Abiy has faced growing criticism from some observers who express concern about democratic backsliding. By some accounts, the conflict in Tigray could undermine his standing and legacy.2 Some of Abiy’s early supporters have since become critics, accusing him of seeking to consolidate power, and some observers suggest his government has become increasingly intolerant of dissent and heavy-handed in its responses to law and order challenges.3 Abiy and his backers argue their actions are necessary to preserve order and avert further conflict.

    Oromo Legacy Leadership PRESS RELEASE Oromoand Legacy Advocacy Leadership Association & Advocacy Association CONTACT US: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 07/23/2021 Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wants More Action to be Taken with African Allies FALLS CHURCH, VA (7/23/2021) – On July 20, 2021, U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made the following statement regarding the nomination of assistant secretary for African Affairs, the Honorable Mary Catherine Phee: “The Biden Administration has stated that “Africa is a priority,” but it’s unclear where Africa fits in that priority list.” He continues, “First, I am troubled by the conflict and humanitarian situation in Tigray. However, I am concerned that the U.S. is so focused on the Tigray crisis that it is ignoring the significant challenges to peace and democracy we face across Ethiopia. This is a complex challenge, I get that. I look forward to hearing how we navigate Ethiopia’s challenges and the other crises across the Horn of Africa which is becoming more and more of a focus and a crisis.” Mr. Risch is clear in his understanding that this is not strictly an Ethiopian issue, but a regional and global issue. The “complexity” includes the imprisonment of political opponents, such as Jawar Mohammed. “Jawar, a founder of the United States-based Oromia Media Network, was an ally of Abiy and played a key role in coordinating the protests that catapulted him to power, before becoming a public critic of his administration.” Mohammed and others were imprisoned following the violence that erupted throughout Ethipia after the murder of singer-songwriter Hachalu Hundessa on June 29, 2020.

  • Ethiopia 2020 Human Rights Report
    ETHIOPIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ethiopia is a federal republic. The Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front, a coalition of four ethnically based parties, controlled the government until December 2019 when the coalition dissolved and was replaced by the Prosperity Party. In the 2015 general elections, the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front and affiliated parties won all 547 seats in the House of Peoples’ Representatives (parliament) to remain in power for a fifth consecutive five-year term. In 2018 former prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn announced his resignation to accelerate political reforms in response to demands from the country’s increasingly restive youth. Parliament then selected Abiy Ahmed Ali as prime minister to lead these reforms. Prime Minister Abiy leads the Prosperity Party. National and regional police forces are responsible for law enforcement and maintenance of order, with the Ethiopian National Defense Force sometimes providing internal security support. The Ethiopian Federal Police report to the Ministry of Peace. The Ethiopian National Defense Force reports to the Ministry of National Defense. The regional governments (equivalent to a U.S. state) control regional security forces, which are independent from the federal government. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of all security forces committed some abuses. Abiy’s assumption of office was followed by positive changes in the human rights climate. The government decriminalized political movements that in the past were accused of treason, invited opposition leaders to return and resume political activities, allowed peaceful rallies and demonstrations, enabled the formation and unfettered operation of political parties and media outlets, and carried out legislative reform of repressive laws.
