The PP-OPDO system is a predatory regime, an enemy of humanity, a genuine adversary, and a destroyer of the Oromo people. It has trained, armed, and deployed individuals devoid of conscience—people liberated from all morality—to eradicate the Oromo and bury them in their own land.

Victim: Obbo Bulchaa Raggaasaa, father of Jaal Ayyaantuu Bulchaa. He was a 70-year-old elder.

Summary of the Atrocity: Today, on December 5, 2025, in a mass execution, PP government forces killed five people, including the elder Bulchaa, in Maaruu village, Gullisoo district, West Welega zone, Western Oromia. This was a targeted attack on unarmed civilians.

The Massacre:
On this day, December 5, 2025, between approximately 5:00 AM and 11:00 AM local time, PP troops forcibly removed five individuals from neighboring households. They were taken to the #Suchii River and executed en masse at a single site.

The Victims:

1. Bulchaa Raggaasaa Reebuu, 70-year-old elder (Father of Jaal Ayyaantuu), from Maaruu village.
2. Mazgabuu Abshaalee Raggaasaa, 20-year-old youth (Son of Wasiila Ayyaantuu), from Maaruu village.
3. Fiqiruu Yandeessaa (Wasiila Ayyaantuu).
4. Hambaa Raggaasaa, a family head from Kuree village, Ayra district.
5. One additional individual whose name is not yet confirmed.

Background & Context:
Elder Bulchaa had traveled to Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) five months prior for reconciliation talks. He had returned to his home area under a promise of safety.

Today, we have received the horrific account that this respected elder—a man of wisdom and dignity—was taken from his home along with other families and slaughtered like an animal.

The Broader Reality in Oromia:
The overall situation for Oromos across all zones is critically dire and unbearable. The repeated pattern of exterminating entire families, particularly those of activists, has become a grim and recurring phenomenon.

A Call for Justice and Strength:
May the Creator grant eternal peace to those brutally murdered. May He grant patience and resilience to their grieving families and communities.
