OPDO "On The Ropes"

OPDO, a surrogate party that was initially organized using MIA's and prisoners of war (POW) contrary to all international laws and norms and later imposed on the Oromoo people as their representative, is having a tough time defending its record of the past decade. At every WAFIDO rally, OPDO members and supporters are booed and severely criticized for ignoring the Oromoo people's cries and agony. They are reminded of their inaction and insensitiveness when:
1. Our natural forests were willfully burnt down.
2. Oromo Students were singled out for expulsion from Finfinnee University.
3. Machaa Tulamaa Organization was dissolved after 40 years of operation.
4. Oromia's capital city was forcefully moved from Finfinnee to Adamaa. Students protesting that decision were beaten up by a powerful anti-demonstration force and thrown into jail.

These are but a few of the long list of questions and criticisms posed to OPDO when they claim to represent the interests of the Oromoo people.

With the recent attention and positive reaction WAFIDO has received it is feared that the ruling party, EPRDF might resort to violence to intimidate people from attending WAFIDO sponsored meetings and events.
