A young man's death, at the hands of Prosperity Party (PP) forces, has ignited tensions and led to an outcry in the Horro Guduru Wallaga zone of Oromia, as reported by local sources. On July 24, 2025, news surfaced from the district of Abbaay Coomman in the Horro Guduru Wallaga regarding the alleged extra-judicial killing of a young man, Raaji Tashomaa, by PP forces. The reported incident took place in the Qorkee village on July 20, 2025. Tashomaa's body was discovered two days later on July 22, 2025, leading locals to demand justice for his untimely demise. As reported by local sources, Tashomaa was last seen heading towards Qorkee's rural areas from the town of Fincaa'aa with his family and belongings. He was reportedly intercepted by PP forces, who allegedly accused him of affiliating with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA). Eyewitnesses allege that Tashomaa was subjected to physical abuse, his possessions were confiscated, and he was ultimately shot dead. Tashomaa's death has sparked widespread outrage among the local community, with accusations leveled against the PP forces for committing human rights abuses. The incident has reportedly fostered an environment of fear and resentment towards the PP forces, with locals demanding accountability for Tashomaa's death. The Prosperity Party faces widespread criticism for its alleged excessive force against the Oromo population and intimidation tactics. While the party maintains that its actions are in the interest of national security, critics argue that these actions often infringe upon human rights and intensify ethnic tensions. In this context, Tashomaa's death signifies the ongoing struggle between the Oromo people and the central government. His death has not only incited outcry among the local community but also underscored the broader issues of human rights abuses and political repression facing the Oromo people. The Oromo community, one of the largest national groups in the Ethiopian empire, continues to demand recognition of their rights and an end to what they perceive as systematic oppression by the central government. Tashomaa's death is viewed as another painful reminder of the cost of this struggle.The incident in the Horro Guduru Wallaga underscores the tense situation in the region. As the Oromo community continues to demand justice and accountability, it remains to be seen how the central government will respond to these allegations of human rights abuses. Tashomaa's death, while tragic, has brought renewed attention to the issues facing the Oromo community, and it is hoped that it will lead to meaningful dialogue and change.
