As the extremely brutal ruling minority junta of Ethiopia continue with its policy of using disproportionate force against the peaceable Muslims of the nation who are simply demanding freedom of worship;
The gruesome picture of the murdered 7 year old boy, Kiya.
Once
again, the federal police brutally shot dead a young boy named Kiya, 7,
on Friday 4 January 2013 in the eastern city of Harrer during a
demonstration and refused to release the body unless the family fork out
3,000 Birr.
The boy’s destitute single mother who was also shot
several times is currently fighting for her life, doctors in the city’s
main hospital said.
The little boy was denied the right to be
buried even after the grieving community of Harrer, in anguish and
perplexity, raised the money at 3pm on Friday.
The much feared
federal police boss Workeneh Gebeyhu is known for ordering the killing
of kids who join anti government rallies in order to demoralize and
terrorize parents and neighboring families, an evil tactic used by the
TPLF for the past 21 years.
“Isn’t this the epitome of barbaric
cruelty laid bare? They killed the baby boy to take away our self
esteem, to immerse as in sorrow. But PM Hailemariam Desalegn and Workneh
Gebeyhu got it all wrong. We will never surrender.” A Muslim protester
told reporters on the scene.
Furthermore, another reliable but as
yet uncorroborated source told the Horn Times from the historic city of
Harrer that a Christian man was killed and several others wounded by
sniper fired from nearby roof tops but TPLF cadres tried to incite
violence between Christians and Muslims by disseminating a false rumor
that the man was killed by Muslim terrorists.
“Ours was just a
peaceful march not insurgency. We were not subverting Ethiopia. There
are no terrorists in our land except Tigre People Liberation Front
members and supporters.” An elderly Muslim man said.
In related
news the Ethiopian National Transition Council strongly condemned the
killing of the 7 year old boy and called on authorities to bring the
murderers to book with no delay.
Sending its deepest condolences
to the family of the deceased, whom it described as martyr, in strongly
worded statement, the transitional council urged opposition parties and
civic organizations to push for the creation of an independent body to
investigate the inhuman and barbaric act of the ruling junta.
