If their right has been denied let them move from there and find nationality in other countries like EU so that persue their goals.

What is Meles’ final goal? He planned to confiscate the awards they have won, the money they have been granted, labelling them “Mussinaa seriwooch, or OLF deggaafiwoch”. This is the fate of any Oromo who has been doing something good for Ethiopia. These is the final reward these Oromo athletes haven been granted by imperialist Ethiopia for their best services at national and international levels.
