Stop communication blackout and Save people in west and south eastern Oromia from CVID-19
The Issue
A deadly disease Coronavirus is widely spreading accros the world. With very limitted capaciry to test and possible more cases in other parts of the country, the Ethiopian government divulged today 5 cases . Politically motivated , the Ethiopian government has deployed command post , blackout telephone, internet and other means of communications in Wollega , Borena and Guji regions of Oromia, which puts people in these areas at risk utmost. People in these area can't go to shops and market to buy food and sanitation stuff in fear of the military. Currently they don't have access to WHO and domestic information about the virus due to the blackout. By doing so, the government is saffocating these people to escalate volnerablity and we are seriously concerned. Despite number of demands, the government remained irresponsibe and denied to pull out the command post and reopen means of communications to enable peaple access to informatiom. Thus, we ask the World Health Organization to insist the Ethiopian government pull out the command post and reopen means of communication to minimze loss of lives and the spread of Coronavirus.
