Oromo Sports Federation puts on a successful #OromoWeek
The 18th annual soccer tournament organized by Oromo Sports Federation in North America (OSFNA) held from Aug. 2-9 in Minnesota wrapped up last weekend after what has been described as the most successful event in years.
The general assembly (which is made up of two representatives from each team) has voted to hold the next two tournaments in Minnesota, according to OSFNA’s public relations officer, Milkesso Uka. “We want to build on the successes of this year’s tournament and put OSFNA on a formidable financial footing,” Uka told OPride. “[2016] marks the 20th anniversary of OSFNA and we wanted to make sure that we can put on a memorable tournament that reflects both its growth and potential.”
Minnesota’s Oromo United (OU) were crowned champions in front of a roaring home audience. Utta Wayyuu, also of Minnesota, the 2008 champions who have made several semi-final appearance since 2004, came up short against a formidable OU side after booting the defending champions, Madda Walabu of Seattle out of the game the day before.
The final three days of the tournament were filled with upsets and a lot of drama. The local favorites Dire Dawa and Burqitu of Denver made unceremonious early exits while Oromia 11 Stars, the 2011 champions, and Minnesota’s TTL only managed a group stage. Qeerransa of Portland and TTL Stars, the youngest of all division A teams, were the most improved; whereas OU Gold and Risaa, both of Minnesota, were the worst performances. Although OSFNA did not give out a coach of the year award, many fans and spectators noted Abdulfatah Wabe of TTL Stars was one of the most disciplined and improved coaches of the tournament.
Oromia of Australia’s addition to the 2014 OSFNA lineup made the tournament the first truly international sporting event (previous tournaments featured only North American teams), and brought a unique game and enthusiasm to the event. The club’s dedication to come all the way around the world and their discipline on the field earned them much appreciation from fans. Their final game against eventual champions OU was one of the most evenly contested matches of the week. If the Australians failed to go home with trophy, they made certain to go down fighting hard.
OSFNA watchers have credited the reforms undertaken by the organization for the renewed momentum and the improvements in the management of events. At the conclusion of last year’s games, the general assembly and then outgoing board elected a new president, a young player, who was joined on the board by equally younger peers. It was almost unprecedented in that most of the board members were new comers, but it signaled a promising turn for the federation.
“We wanted to see a change,” OSFNA president Dula Hassan told OPride reflecting on his goals for the year. “We knew Oromo soccer tournament was one of the events that bring all Oromos together regardless of religion or region. So we wanted to create a unifying environment where everyone can come together.”
The federation took a number of notable steps to improve the experiences of players and fans in this year’s tournament. For one, the team registration fee of $1000 was cut in half, awarding each team a $500 refund for showing a good sportsmanship. OSFNA also worked closely with team leaders to communicate the steps it was taking to improve the tournament experience. This year’s tournament boasted 19 clubs, compared to only 13 last year.
The 2014 tournament drew the kind of attendance not seen since 2008. But perhaps more importantly, it brought back a much-needed momentum that has been on the decline. That’s not all. Compared to previous tournaments, the 2014 games seemed better organized and introduced many new activities. As previously reported, a women’s soccer, Abebe Bikila memorial race, a halftime cultural performance by local youth during the opening and closing games and various sports competitions among fans were added for the first time this year.
In large part thanks to sponsorship from local businesses, OSFNA gave out almost $13,000 in prizes to this year’s winners, according to Hassan. Not only did they award division A and B winners, the top three teams also received higher bonuses than previous years. While previous champions received $1,000, this year’s winners took home $3,000. Second place winners Utta Wayyuu received $2000, while third place runner ups 10, 000 Lakes Stars were awarded $1000. Continuing its pledge of transparency and accountability, OSFNA is working on itemized financial report that would be shared with the general assembly and interested parties in coming weeks, according to Uka.
The change in leadership or perhaps the style of governance seems to have made a significant difference. First, beyond limited marketing to soccer clubs, there have been concerted efforts to improve outreach to the local community. For example, last December OSFNA held a public briefing at the Oromo Community of Minnesota to share its plans for this year’s events. There was also ongoing publicity on social media and through the group’s revamped website. (There’s actually an official letter from the president laying out his vision and theme for the tournament!) OSFNA’s newly redesigned website is colorful, inviting, informative and most of all user friendly.
Overall, from outreach to local police and elected officials in order to get the week to be officially proclaimed as “Oromo Week” to securing the field, OSFNA leaders appeared more proactive in working with community leaders, particularly the OCM and the OSFNA board of trustees. Furthermore, the presence of the first ever medical team on hand to attend to injuries underscores OSFNA’s commitment to community outreach. It’s indeed an important step forward in leveraging the human resources within the Oromo community in the diaspora by inviting professionals to volunteer at the games in their respective areas of expertise.
While the attendance of U.S. Senator Al Franken was a recognition of the contribution and growing influence of Oromos in Minnesota, the presence of a delegation from Oromia led by retired Abba Gadaa of Guji, Aaga Xanxano, who’s touring Oromo communities in the U.S., added more color to the event.
Asked about the challenges the board faced in organizing this year’s tournament, Hassan highlighted two points. Financially, the organization was strapped, and had to seek sponsorship from multiple sources in order to secure the soccer field at the cost of $30,000. Another major challenge OSFNA faced was securing major partnership agreements with other Oromo week event organizers. For example, discussions with local concert promoters failed to materialize after months of negotiations when the planners failed to agree on how to share profits by co-hosting the closing night party at venue. While it has always been controversial, OSFNA historically hosts the closing party, but, while not the first, disagreements among the organizers resulted in two separate concerts being held this year.
Founded in 1996, in recent years OSFNA has faced criticism for disorganized events and a glaring lack of capacity to mobilize local resources, including volunteers.
Despite these notable improvements, however, some of the past institutional dysfunctions remain. In other words, OSFNA’s young leaders have a unique opportunity to institute more changes before their term expires in 2015 to make the tournament even more orderly and colorful.
Five actions OSFNA can take to make the 2015 tournament even better:
- Market the event to the wider Minnesota community:
While the focus this year seems to be on the Oromo community, the tournament offers an unparalleled opportunity to teach others about Oromo people, and to introduce Oromo people to their neighbors. There’s a significant deficiency on this front. For instance, with a clear-eyed and strategic outreach, especially considering the attendance of a U.S. Senator and official recognitions by mayors of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the event should have generated significant mainstream media coverage. In addition to doing away with proposed suggestions to limit access by Oromo media outlets this year, OSFNA leaders should aggressively pursue local media to cover the Oromo week events.
- Make better use of social media:
Generally, OSFNA leaders should partner with Oromo media outlets to formulate strategies on how to increase publicity and also coverage of its events across various social media platforms. For example, OSFNA should have taken part in promoting or utilizing OPride’s annual social media campaign platform. (It is an open invitation for next year!) This simply means using OSFNA’s Facebook and Twitter pages to post updates throughout the week in order to get people excited about the games and to attract more attendance.
- Better halftime shows:
The Oromo week brings together soccer players, fans and Oromo artists from around the world. It is a unique opportunity to work with Oromo musicians to organize a live performance at the field at least during the opening and closing games. There is no doubt that this would be costly and will take time to put together. But it can be done with a little more creativity, collaboration and hard work. For starters, OSFNA doesn’t have to attempt to pull off this show alone. It can work with various Oromo promoters, community organizations and Oromo and non-Oromo local businesses to sponsor such performance. It could also raise the entrance fee for the opening and closing games. At the worst case scenario, OSFNA should have invited Oromo artists to perform the unofficial Oromo national anthem it has adopted this year.
- Add more vendors:
It seems as if OSFNA had fewer vendors than previous years. There’s only one music shop, one food option and one shop for custom-made items. OPride is not privy to the details about how OSFNA vets potential vendors. But theoretically, more vendors mean more money for the organization (which according to insiders suffers from a chronic funding shortage). OSFNA should court more Oromo and non-Oromo businesses to display ads around the stadium during the week. Among others things, OSFNA should also invite publishers of Oromo books and Oromo cultural cloth shop owners to participate.
Over all, if this year’s tournament is any indication, #OromoWeek2015 is definitely worth looking forward to.

When you for a reporting fellowship to learn about the health of newborns in Ethiopia, you expect things to be a little different from what you’re used to in the U.S. To be perfectly honest, a little worse. But Ethiopia actually surprised me, even before I took off.
I did my research, and it turns out that Ethiopia’s system is getting better — significantly better. It’s meeting international goals, winning awards from the United States and, more important, are living longer and fewer mothers are dying in childbirth.
This is great news. Maybe Ethiopia would be better than I expected. I got some in the arm, popped a few anti-malaria pills and hoped for the best.
It was worse. Now, to be fair, all those things I said before are true. More babies are living through childbirth. Infant mortality has decreased by 39 percent in the past 15 years. But one in every 17 Ethiopian children still dies before turning 1, and one in every 11 children dies before age 5. There’s a ways to go.
Once I arrived, it took me awhile to figure out what was actually happening with Ethiopia’s health care. I was more involved in recovering from the jet lag that woke me up at 1 a.m. every day and avoiding mosquitoes like the plague. I was honestly a little mosquito obsessive. I covered myself and each of my belongings with every repellent known to man: cream, spray, patches, bracelets, small mechanized devices. I needed all the help I could get — the little critters are hopelessly attracted to me.
Because I was having some trouble breaking out of my self-obsessed bubble, Ethiopian health care didn’t seem too bad at first. We heard from Save the Children about all the improvements the country had made. We visited a private maternity/abortion clinic whose “waiting room” was a bunch of plastic chairs set up under a tarp outside.
I talked to the doctor there. He said the last fatality at the clinic was more than a year ago. The facility seemed clean and well-organized, and the doctor voiced confidence in his clinic. The care seemed to be adequate.
It was the visit to Black Lion that put things into perspective.
I’d heard about the hospital before. The Ethiopian press reported a blackout in 2005 that left seven patients in intensive care dead; in 2013 there was a seven-hour outage. It didn’t sound good. Then there’s the name, conjuring a massive feral beast that chews people up limb by limb.
Ethiopians have a different perspective. For them, the hospital is pretty much the most important in the country. Whatever you come down with, wherever you come down with it, if doctors can’t treat your ailment where you are, they send you to Black Lion. There are fancy private clinics that cost more money, and some can provide better care. But for most Ethiopians, the Black Lion is as good as it gets.
I visited in the morning on a typical day. I was greeted by a broken front window, a hand-painted directory and crowds of people. Whole families were camped out under the trees outside the main building, and a thick stream of people were trying to move through the halls, some with bandages and crutches, others just trying to get by.
I was immediately aware of one problem: cleanliness. There are people whose job it is to keep the hospital clean. They do their job, but they’re no match for the people getting it dirty. What’s more, windows are open, doors are open. It’s very open-air. That’s great for a market, bad for a hospital. The Ministry of Health doesn’t collect statistics on hospital-acquired infections, but several isolated studies have been done and the number hovers around a 20 percent infection rate. In the U.S., the rate is 4 percent.
The first place I visited was the neonatal unit on the sixth floor of the eight-story building. With 40 patients and 40 beds, the place was full. Well, I thought it was full, but head nurse Berhena Mulat said they could usually treat many more. Three to a bed was capacity.
Mulat was the first person I met at Black Lion. She’d seen a lot of patients — and a lot of journalists, visiting to report on the state of Ethiopia’s health care. I asked her one of the questions we journalists ask when we want to know what’s wrong. “What are you missing?” I asked. “What do you need here to do your job?”
“You’re a journalist,” she said. It was true. Mulat had a pretty good idea what journalists do — and what they don’t do. They don’t hand out money and supplies to hospitals. “If you don’t help me, why do you ask me?”
Ouch.
Once I recovered from the punch in the gut, I realized what she was saying. Other journalists had been here before. They hung around, asked some questions and then left, never to be heard from — at least by her — again. And Black Lion stayed the same.
Being the tenacious journalist I am, I did convince her to answer my question — eventually. And so I became aware of Major Problem No. 2: a shortage of basic supplies. Here’s a shopping list:
Equipment to measure infant oxygen levels
Oxygen, or at least a steady supply of it
Baby scales
Thermometers
Generators for when the electricity goes out.
Infants who are not too small or who have a case of jaundice — that’s who Black Lion can help. But for anyone who requires surgery, Mulat says, “The outcome isn’t good.”
Downstairs in the pediatric unit, parents were pushed out on the sidewalk, in the garden, corralled behind metal bars, waiting. It’s hard to even squeeze into the hall to talk to people, but I managed. That’s where I met Zelem Abdissa. He was a little easier to spot, a full head above the crowd. He’s one of the main pediatric nurses.
Kids come to Black Lion from all over the country, he told me. Abdissa does his best to help them, but sometimes he can’t: “If they can’t afford, it’s difficult to help.”
One boy came with a collapsed lung. Abdissa says that’s just one of the problems Black Lion can’t fix.
And if Black Lion can’t help, there is no other option. The boy with the collapsed lung was referred abroad, but his family couldn’t afford the expense. After two years in the hospital, he died, alone.
A lot of patients have been let down by Black Lion, Abdissa sadly admitted. He went through some files and steered me to another example.
Alizar Haile Gessesse lives with his sister, his wife and his two children across the street from Black Lion. Literally across the street. His sister met me outside the hospital and walked me over. I met the whole family at his house. It was small, modest, but kind of lovely.
Seated, Gessesse looks tall, strong and very handsome. But when he gets up to move from one room to another or even one chair to another, his strength fails him. His legs just won’t cooperate. He has some muscle control but not enough. His condition requires him to rely on his family for everything, even going to the bathroom.
He met me with a pile of papers in his lap. He showed me all of them: whole files that documented all the blood, urine and tissue he volunteered with the hope that Black Lion could at least tell him what was wrong. In exchange, he received blood chemistry results, total protein counts and these papers — papers that even now, 10 years later, he still doesn’t fully understand. He has learned one thing about his condition, though: “This is more than our level, more than our capacity in Ethiopia to diagnose.” Black Lion has no CT Scan, no MRI.
Gessesse told me he has spent $15,000 on his treatment. He was once an electrician; when he first got sick, his parents were alive and they could help. A board of doctors told him to go abroad for treatment. That was 10 years ago. He still can’t afford the trip. He’s been across the street from Black Lion, his condition deteriorating, ever since.
After Black Lion, I did some traveling around the country. I saw some other health care facilities — fairly miserable hospitals where garden-variety bugs commingled with patients.
A little farther out in the country, I saw smaller clinics with one or two health care workers who were distributing birth control and teaching women about breast-feeding. Those were the successes. That was where Ethiopia was improving.
Oh, that was also the place with the highest rate of malaria infection, and of course I forgot my anti-mosquito medication. Sigh. Those little buggers penetrated my repellent fortress. Two bites right under my fancy anti-mosquito bracelet.
But I knew I was going home. Hopefully, I won’t get malaria, but even if I do, I know I won’t be treated in an Ethiopian hospital, which makes me a little happy and a little sad at the same time. As a journalist, if I can’t help, why do I even ask?

Ethiopia and Sudan set to launch joint military operation
By Tesfa-Alem Tekle
August 14, 2014 (ADDIS ABABA) – Ethiopia’s ministry of defence announced on Wednesday that it had reached an agreement with its Sudanese counterpart to establish a joint military force which would operate under the same command.

The military agreement was reached on Tuesday during the11th Ethiopia-Sudan joint defence ministerial meeting held in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia’s defence minister, Siraj Fegessa, told reporters that the joint force will be operational by the end of September.
Forces will be deployed on eight fronts along the two countries’ common border with the aim of ensuring border security, boosting economic cooperation and allowing the two countries to carry out joint development activities.
Sudanese defence minister Abdul-Rahim Mohamed Hussein said that the formation of the joint force would further reinforce the existing security cooperation between the two countries.
Lt. Gen. Emad Al Din Mustafa, the chairman for the Sudanese side on the expert committee, said that Tuesday’s agreement was based on a memorandum of understanding previously signed between the two neighbours.
“The most important outcome of Tuesday’s talks is the conclusion of an action plan for the Ethiopia-Sudan joint forces” he said.
Ethiopia and Sudan share a long and porous borderline, which stretches around 800 kilometres.
It’s hoped the military agreement will help both countries to safeguard their common borders and defend themselves from any external aggression or other cross-border attacks.
ATTACK ON NILE DAM
Ethiopians see the joint military agreement as a key defence strategy to avert any possible sabotage of a controversial dam project it is building on the Nile, some 40km from the Sudanese border.
Egypt fears the dam will eventually diminish its water share and insists its historical water rights must be maintained.
During president Mohammed Mursi’s leadership Egyptian politicians were caught live on TV in June proposing to sabotage the massive dam project, known as Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
Some politicians suggested taking hostile action, including a direct air strike and backing Ethiopian rebels to destroy the $ 4.6 billion power plant project.
Although Ethiopian officials say a direct attack from Egypt is unlikely, the country’s army remains on high alert.
Ethiopian rebels, Eritrea and Somalia’s Al-shabaab, which is suspected of supplying mercenaries on Egypt’s behalf, are all considered to be a potential threat to Ethiopia’s national security.
The military agreement between Sudan and Ethiopia is expected to guard against any potential attacks from Sudanese soil.
Leaked files published by Wikileaks in 2012 alleged that Sudan had agreed to allow Egypt to use an airbase in Kursi in the west of Sudan’s Darfur region to strike Ethiopia’s dam, which will be Africa’s largest hydro power facility upon completion.
Sudan has dismissed the allegations.

Oromo nationalism on the rise in Ethiopia (Aljazeera)
Missing Ethiopian runners: Athletes come from deeply troubled nation
By
Email the author | Follow on Twitter
July 28, 2014
Four Ethiopian runners who vanished Saturday from the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene, perhaps seeking asylum in the U.S., would have much to put behind them by leaving their home country.
Poverty, regional instability, human rights abuses and disease plague Ethiopia, which fought a crippling border war with Eritrea from 1998 to 2000, and more recently has sent troops to fight the jihadist group Al-Shabaab in neighboring Somalia.
Protesters spilled into streets from Portland to St. Paul Minnesota last spring in response to news accounts that 11 students were killed in clashes with Ethiopian police forces.
The purchasing power of the nation’s 96.6 million people stands at 69th globally, but per capita income has remained among the lowest in the world, according to the CIA’s World Fact Book.
The U.S. State Department estimates that more than 1 million people of Ethiopian origin live in the United States, with a great number of U.S. groups providing humanitarian support to Ethiopians.
“Ethiopia’s weak human rights record creates tension in our relationship, and we continue to push for press freedom, appropriate application of anti-terrorism legislation, a loosening of restrictions on civil society, greater tolerance for opposition views, and religious dialogue,” State Department diplomat Donald Y. Yamamoto, the acting assistant secretary with the Bureau of African Affairs, told a House subcommittee in June 2013.
During the Cold War, athletes from Communist nations such as the Soviet Union and East Germany sometimes used international competitions to defect to Western nations. The phenomenon has been picked up by young East Africans, although for generations, U.S. universities have given full scholarships to promising – and often world-class – long-distance runners from Africa.
The four Ethiopian runners who slipped out of Eugene, reported missing on Saturday, had already run their events, according to a story in Reuters. They were Amanuel Abebe Atibeha, 17,who ran the men’s 800 meters, and three 18-year-old women:Dureti Edao, (800 meters), Meaza Kebede (400 meter hurdles), Zeyituna Mohammed (800 meters).
East African distance runners – from Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti – dominate global performance in track and field, and road racing.
As of Saturday, East Africa’s women runners led the world in every track event from 3,000 meters to the 10,000 meters, including the 3,000-meter steeplechase. East African men topped the world charts in the 1,500 meters, mile, steeplechase and 5,000 meters.
The only non-African on the men’s list is Galen Rupp, the former University of Oregon standout and silver medalist at 10,000 meters in the London Olympic Games. Rupp leads the world at 2 miles and 10,000 meters.

Ethiopia needs to do better
That’s the message for Ethiopia
Houston Chronicle | July 28, 2014 | Updated: July 28, 2014
As they ready for two days of wheeling and dealing with a high-ranking Ethiopian delegation at a local hotel, Houston business and elected leaders today need to look beyond a foreign market opportunity and first ask hard questions about Ethiopia’s recent crackdown on nine journalists, as well as the country’s unsuccessful move this spring to make homosexuality a “non-pardonable” crime.
Ethiopia is the second largest jailer of journalists in Africa, behind its neighbor on the Horn, Eritrea. This month it upped the tally by formally indicting nine editors, freelancers and bloggers with trumped up charges of inciting violence and terrorism. The world’s preeminent advocacy organization for journalists and press freedom, the Committee to Protect Journalists, called the government’s action a move to “suppress political dissent and intimidate journalists.” This group of nine and other award-winning writers in Ethiopian prisons are young professionals using social media to level basic criticism at the government, according to published reports.
CPJ is not alone in its outrage. Secretary of State John Kerry recently urged the Ethiopian government to quit using anti-terrorism laws as a way to “curb the free exchange of ideas.”
Ethiopia received $580 million in U.S. foreign aid in 2012. No matter what good it does with that money – and the government has improved many facets of the infrastructure – Ethiopia’s reputation is one that denies civil liberties to its people and is questionable at best in any ranking on human rights. This is a self-proclaimed democratic government and it should be held to a higher standard than places like China and Saudi Arabia.
We agree with CPJ’s admonishment of the government of second-year Ethiopian prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn and president Mulatu Teshome, who leads the trade mission here before traveling to Washington for high-level meetings. We also echo Kerry’s call for the Ethiopian government to give the journalists a fair and open trial “free of political influence.” The compassionate move, of course, would be to release the journalists until they have their day in court.
Capitalism is a force that should encourage our partners to be better than they are today. That has to be part of the message that Teshome hears from Mayor Annise Parker and Greater Houston Partnership business leaders like summit co-sponsors Chevron, Marathon and others.
The Zone 9 journalists, as they are called in Ethiopia, need our support more than we need the sales opportunity.
