    You should be ashamed of yourselves for illegally using this name, when you have nothing to do with the name. You know hundreds of Oromo paid a heavy price for this cause. Why did you want to take credit for something that you did not do ? credit should go where it’s due. I just wanted to cry when I saw the letter form the founder of Seif. If you are sincere, why not give yourself a name and do whatever you want to do ? why snatch a name that someone build with sweat and blood ? build your own name do’t steal. Or may be you have another agenda ?

    I hope Israel Sabboqaa heard me right.
    Sir, we thank you for the contributions you have made to the Oromo people struggle. However I have serious question to pose.
    1. Before you have fled from Ethiopia, who did you sell that “press enterprise” to? Clearly state it and say out loud, no hiding behind curtail and distorting story, otherwise, can be proved with evidence for public to view it?
    2 When”seif Nebelbal” has been owned bye new owner, the (Amhara) , who are those Oromo journalists were running this very news paper, do you know the Oromo child or children were running “seif nebelbal” to that last minute? Aren’t the one accused of the genocide by Meles and his Hench men?
    3. Having flee Oromia for the Last 11 years, and have done nothing since then , now what prompt you to accuse innocent Oromo journalist/ nationalist who came after you and only here abroad for two year now and still energetic to do his part for the Oromo struggle and continue the path?. Did you know Eyob Bayyssa? Incase, you need to look up what he has done and the scarified he has made. I appreciate the integrity of Urjii journalists, they have not slept for 11 years and did not sold their press enterprise to foes and continue to do their part no matter what, they have good integrity, but you, after 11 years of hibernation, now all of sudden wake up or that Amhara “press owner is now have died”???
    4. Last not least, I think you have no moral ground as far as I am concerned when you sold the very journal to foes of the Oromo national struggle and now turn around 360 degree to own the sold ” press enterprise”?? I think this time, as far as I am concerned, it seems money drive than cause drive, would be nice for you to be refraining from defaming innocent Oromo child and prompt another sinister division among Oromo in another corner of press media. Please stop such madness and work out what you can do together Or Leave him alone, let he can do what he can and you too do your part what you can

    Guys it’s just not fair, you cannot expect Israel to shut up when the compny he found is taken over by force. Hostile takeover that is ! This is like killing him ( Jiraatti ajjeesuu ! ) Itegrity, integrity again integrity ! Oromos should not allow this kind illigal act to happen.

    Seife Nebelbal is one of a handful free Medias once flourished and then banned in the short life span of the Ethiopian free press. Seife Nebelbal is remembered always for its willpower to be the voice for the voiceless in the totalitarian Ethiopian regime in spite of every possible hardship upon the journalists. It was not only the publishers and the journalists who were prosecuted, but we the readers of Seife Nebelbal, too, were at a time harassed by the brutal security forces of the regime for no other reason than just reading this tiny but powerful tabloid.
    It was through such torment and prosecution that the journalists of Seife Nebelbal were pursuing dissemination of balanced information to the Oromo people. At the point when the harassment of the Ethiopian government became unbearable, the journalists were forced to flee their beloved country and families. The sacrifice paid by those journalists will be remembered forever by history.
    However, it is extremely disappointing that some people are making their own business under the camouflage of Seife Nebelbal and on the name of its honored journalists. It is not only disgusting but also a shameful crime to make business out of the priceless sacrifices by the heroic Oromo journalists behind the renowned news paper Seife Nebelbal.

    Such an act reminds me the dirty game Woyane has been playing on the Oromo people. Everybody remembers how Woyane established shadow organizations every time it plans to do away with the genuine organizations engaged in many societal activities.
    Seife Nebelbal, a news paper owned by the legally registered Israel Soboka Press and Publishing Enterprise (ISPPE), was born on the historical juncture when the Oromo people suffered from lack of balanced information and when audacity to provide such unbiased information to the public would result in harsh punishment. The news paper and the publishing enterprise were registered under the Ethiopian Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Trade. Seife Nebelbal® is a registered trade mark; and the sole owner of the brand is ISPPE.
    Oromo is the largest ethnic group in the Horn. But unfortunately, we are not blessed with many media channels corresponding to that size our population. The good news is we know very well the few Medias we have had. We know the trustworthy Oromo Medias channeling reliable and balanced information to our people. We know who writes those news papers and who are working diligently on those amazing Oromo websites. We know all those journalists serving courageously their people. I know journalists of Seife Nebelbal and the other Oromo Medias.

    As I heard the news of the ”transformation” of the Seife Nebelbal news paper into seife nebelbal radio, I called Israel Soboka, the editor-in –chief and his co workers. Neither he nor his co-workers have any idea about the so-called seife Nebelbal radio. We found out that somebody is running his hidden agenda under the smokescreen of our heroic journalists. Israel and his co-workers were equally stunned by this act of day light robbery. What Israel and his colleagues know and what they assured me is that they are on the final preparation to resume the online edition of Seife Nebelbal News Magazine and Seife Nebelbal Radio pretty soon.

    Are we Oromo specially the Diaspora think in rational mind and speak the truth? When do we stop believing in person like cult than his deeds? When do we stop standing by philosophy of “river hood” , “village hood “than Oromummaa and one nation, under God undivided.
    I don’t get it why some people are so nervous and furious about this young guy who did his part when we bunch of Diaspora Oromo have shut our mouth and have done nothing to be voice for voiceless , have been silent and lack of professional journalists for the last many years.
    As the matter of fact, speaking of patent, can be claimed back to the original siefe Nebelbal founder when Israel Sabboqqa invited to as journalist, later in the process of transaction he claimed owner ship. I am not happy to put every thing for public to create havoc among Oromo, where the Diasporas Oromo are already disfranchised by unabated breed of factions to this minute. It’s just like adding salt on already necrotic wound.
    When a person cannot think in rational mind and bases their reason on personal ego, they are blind for every thing, and they are blind to see the big picture. They only see and fit to individual’s ego or interest that fit their ranting per se,
    Therefore, I am very much appalled and disgusted by some of the “Oromo’s” who accusing this innocent for no reason, when “seifa nebelbal owner” is no longer the owner when he actually sold the owner ship to Abyssinians in cash. Where is his moral integrity in here, you tell me about that who huffing and buffing about issue with out no clue.
    As the matter of fact, I am not a village or river boy, I despised those who flow with it, I disgusted those who stand for it, I am an Oromo son, I stand for my people, my people that includes eyob and Israel, however, when some one try to do something for his nation, we accustomed of automatically come up with counter productive. I have no any acquaintance of eyob but encouraged by his courage job
    I see moral ground on his part,

  11. me and you said,

    February 3, 2012 @ 2:20 pm

    I see moral ground on his part, imagine I my self been in Diaspora for decade but have done nothing close to what he has done, this guy, who is just new and fresh immigrant, who is not even settled for his life yet but still has good heart for his people, he should not vilified for good cause he stand. He did not even wait for his comfort time, he did not waste his time and counting of years in Diaspora, he took on himself and started to do discharge his duty to the best of his knowledge to serve his nation, Oromo. Utterly and defaming his good deed as some one is trying to make money out of this, is thoroughly a nonsense to say least.
    I do not see any crime of this poor journalist , other than serving his nation, I do not see any crime when he can not do it by himself , he called on fellow Oromo for help, tell me what is the crime he committed.

    Something is apparent, you my fellow Oromo, we are at lowest of low point, if anything that is equivalent of Armenian people, now nation less, country less, we the Oromo people are too in line for that, we are the people born to destroy each other than destroy our enemy. This can only stop when people think rationally than thinking in cult ideology.
    Dear Israel sabboqaa and Eyyoob,Baayyisaa, you two knew very well the inside of “seife nebelbal” than any of us who commenting here, if you two can talk and share ideas and ways to be voice for voiceless, I will call upon your high consciousness than little feuds, hence, it’s so incumbents on both of you to find common solution than opening between us another venue of division which we are already divided and victimized by it, this time, we can not afford for another round of sinister division, therefore, time and again, I call upon your high consciousness and moral authority to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks

    Eyob or ( me and you ) first, please stop bashing Diaspora Oromo. second please make this right. Build your own name, this is so unOromo. It’s hostile overtake. You are doing a good job, just make it your own brand. Don’t steal! build your own brand with your sweat! I peronally will supprot you 100%–please just be you.

    Naannoo, you got it wrong, I am not Eyob, speculation is not work, this is not wall street, this is me and you, purely my opinion, and i am entitled to it and solely responsible for it. I been around in diaspora long enough and I know the diaspora more than you telling me, if anything is coming good out of diaspora, you tell me, hope you speak the truth. Please respect at least that I am not him, but it’s me, I respect your opinion, so be it if we disagree either on diaspora or “seife Nebelbal”

    The extent to which some Oromo’s go to silence each other is just unbelievable. Israel hang in there man- at the end of the day the truth shall prevail. Ignore all these noise – we know it’s gonna fade in few weeks.

    Naannoo,
    You said it right ! thank you. We are all happy with what Eyob is doing, but he needs to play the card safe. We all fled our fatherland because of persecution. We can not continue to repress the rights of individuals even in exile. Just because we are in Diaspora doesn’t mean we are not governed by rule of law. We need to learn how to deal with each other as OROMO. Understanding the basic rights of human being is media 101. Eyob seems a very talented guy, he can easily build his own brand. Why on earth would he tarnish his name by stealing a legally registered name? The founder of Seifenebelbal, Israel Soboqa fled his beloved country because he could not operate in the country, he was imprisoned, tortured and threatened to death. Now how does he feel if a fellow Oromo just take over the name he has built for years ? Yes we are in Diaspora, does that wash away our Oromoness ? does that make us anarchistic ? Eyob said Seifenebelbal is registered in Ethiopia not in America, if he comes to America and snatch the name from a persecuted guy, how is he different from Wayyaanee ? Both Eyob and Woyane victimized Israel.

    Let me repeat what Naanno already said. Mr Eyob or ( me and you ) we know that its You. Please instead of taking some ones name just come up with your own new brand. If you like the word ‘Seyif’ you can say ‘Seyife Michael’ I personally recommend you to build your own name, absolutely this is hostile overtake. You don’t have any ground to claim Seife Nebelbal at all. this is being an arrogant.
