Those of you in Ottawa, Canada should not miss this event Harmaa fi Harka Muraa Aanolee & Calanqoo Remembrance Day Type: Commemorative Ceremony Date: October 11, 2014 Time: 3:00 – 8:00 pm Location: Heron Community Centre, 1480 Heron Road, Ottawa, On Key Note Speaker: Professor Abbaas Haaji Details: It’s a solemn duty of every Oromo to commemorate Harmaa fi Harka Muraa Aanolee, Calii Calanqoo and other massacres to ensure that the sufferings of our people and their memories are never lost. We must ensure that the memories of those innocent men, women and children massacred at the hands of the Abyssinians are never forgotten. We call upon all Diasporas Oromo Communities to memorialize or commemorate these events, each year, in order to pay tribute to the courage of the Oromo people in that time of gravest peril. It reminds us of the sheer scale of the genocide, in which more than half of the Oromo population was massacred at the hands of the Abyssinians during the most heinous chapter in Oromo history - colonization. As well, we must teach the current and generations yet unborn so that they will never forget the brutality, cruelty, savagery and inhumanness of Menilik and his successors.
