URJII - the Independently-Owned Oromo Newspaper - Goes Online

Gadaa.com • September 1, 2010

Correction (Updated 9/3/2010): URJII was incorrectly referred to as the "first" privately-owned Oromo newspaper. It has been brought to our attention that Bariisaa, which was established in 1976, was the "first" privately-owned Oromo newspaper; Bariisaa was later confiscated by the Dergue regime to become the mouthpiece of the government. - Editor, Gadaa.com


The following is a press release from the URJII Publication Team. URJII was an independently-owned Oromo biweekly newspaper operating out of Finfinne (Addis Ababa) and was established in March 1994. Four years later in February 1998, URJII was shut down by Ethiopian authorities, and its editors and staff were subjected to imprisonments, harassment and forced exile.

---------------------------

After years of forced silence, URJII is back into publication. Unfortunately, it is not in the form that most of its readers knew it to be. It is online. We understand the limitations that this form of publication would have, especially given the literally non-existent access to the Internet back home; which is due to not economic reasons, but because of the monopoly of Internet Service Provider (ISP) by the ruling EPRDF/TPLF party. Equally unfortunate is that we, the producers of URJII, are not geographically in the same place where we used to be. Except for our intended virtual presence wherever our readers, fans and friends would be, we are not within our people. Physically, we are in the Diaspora. But, we are not that far from it; as our giant world has been reduced to a small global village, thanks to the information technology. Read More »»»

By Prof. Asafa Jalata
