Muslims in Addis have continued to express their anger on the way the government has been handeling their affairs. On the third ”showdown anger”which Muslims has been doing every Friday since the demolition of their Mosque at Arat Killo,Muslim protesters clashed today,11.08.06, with federal police. Several handreds of Muslims are reported detained and many sustained wounds.
As per their continued action to express the anger following the demolition of Arat Killo mosque,Muslims stage demonstration every Friday. Muslims from all over the city headed today to the site of the demolished Mosque to perform their Friday prayer and then to join the demonstration. However,large number of Federal Police was already deployed. All roads leading to the site were closed and Muslims were prevented from reaching it. This resulted in unintended confrontation [on the part of Muslims] between the faithful and Federal Police.
Witnesses said that there was intense clash at Arat Killo but police managed to divide the crowd. A large number of Muslims mainly students of Addis Ababa University were arrested. Muslims then went to the nearby Mosques to attend the Friday prayer. Chanting Takbir - “Allahu Akbar” –some joined the congregation at “Filwuha”Mosque. Others went to Nur/Bani Mosque and the remaining to Anwar Mosque.
After the prayers particularly at Anwar,believers protested against the action being taken by the government first in demolishing their Mosque and now in denying them their right to express their anger peacefully. Police responded with firing bullets and beaten protesters who had nothing to protect themselves with. As a results a large number of Muslims were wounded,most of them severely. There is also unconfirmed report that two Muslims were shot dead. At least one car that belongs to the Federal Police was made out of use and several others had their windows smashed.
Police arrested several hundreds of Muslims including women and children. Despite a strong rain,the clash at Anwar Mosque continued even after the Asr (late after noon) prayer. Shops in the busy Merkato area remained closed for the whole afternoon. Additional police force was called. The demonstraters then left the Anwar Mosque at around 5:00 pm local time and headed to Teklehaymanot.
Another heavy clash between the demonstrators and Federal Police at a place locally called “Berbere tera” in Merkato and Teklehaymanot led to the arrest of more than 1,000 Muslims. It is at this stage that the two unconfirmed deaths were reported. City bus and federal Police cars were also burnt.
The exact number of Muslims detained, killed,wounded by during the day long clash is not immediatly known. Witnesses saw Muslims being taken away with several trucks of the Federal Police. Some are held to Arat Killo police station while other were taken to unidentified locations.
AP report that is already available on the net:
Ethiopians Clash with riot police in the Capital after Mosque razed!
ADDIS ABABA,Ethiopia (AP) –Riot police fired rubber bullets and tear gas Friday at hundreds of stone-throwing Muslims who were protesting the demolition of a mosque in Ethiopia’s capital,witnesses said
Several people were bleeding in the streets,but the extent of their injuries was not clear.
More than 100 protesters were taken away in four military trucks;another 100 were under armed guard on the street. At least one car was overturned and several others had windows smashed.
Federal Police Cmdr. Hailu Demsash said he was aware of the clashes in the capital’s Merkato district,the main Muslim area of Addis Ababa,but he had no details.
Witnesses said the protesters were angry that a mosque had been demolished two weeks ago outside the Merkato district. The reason for the demolition was not immediately clear.
Ethiopia’s population of about 77 million is about 45 per cent Christian and about the same percentage Muslim,with the rest following indigenous beliefs.

I have brother in other university called nakamit it build in this year also in that university 12 students arrested please inform to Muslim words the make dua one day we can found equality” insallah” please make crosscheck from other media and please solve it. You Muslim Ethiopian Muslim brother’s.
ALSALMU-ALEYKUM.
OMAR,I think you really pushed the forum out of its way,so are the opponent of your,unasked for,views.
First,I really feel you,Mr. Omar,as well as your opponents agree on the beauty of the Islamic faith but disagree on its implimentation. This is acceptable and really is the core of the islamic value. Islam,as you read in the Qura’an is ease and not hardship. Islam is therefore a “Solution and not a Problem”. So take faith out of your argument.
Second,What happened on the Mosque at Arat-Kilo,I am not sure if there is any court order or dispute on the land it is built,and non of the comentators tried to give us the correct reason of its demolision,I will wait for a clear answer before trying to raise its international ramification.
Last not least,I would like my fellow Muslim Ethiopians and for that matter non muslims to read very wisely the cocept of Islam,since it is the religion that came for all man kind. Please ignore those hate mongers who are trying to give bad picture about Islam. Allah has promised to protect the Qura’an til dooms day,I ask my Muslim brothers to solve their problems and incounter those evil minded people using the examples of our prophet,Muhammad,saw.
Thanks.
let us live in peace!
let us avoid riots that can escalate to civil war. this is the culture of Arab muslims,this is not the culture of Ethiopian muslims.
Arabs even persecuted our prophet.
we are the true muslims. please let us avoid the violent,radical interpretation of the Kuran and live in peace.
Arab form of Islam is not the real peaceful islam.
if we allow arabs to influence our muslim brothers and sisters in Ethiopia,our country will be destroyed.
we will terrorized to live in our own country. is this what we want?? this is not our religion. Islam is a religion of peace,patience,forgiveness and love.
peace to all.
May all praise be for Allah!
Dear Omar,Apology accepted! Though I was afraid that I was not going to hear from you as the blog owner wrote that your case is taken care of.
I admit that you reserve all the rights to defend what you believed in eventhough you are the only one in that zone. But,I think you still have to work on toning down your language. There are lots of massages that have been aborted due to the massengers’lack of presenting them in a comprehendable manner.
To all:please,I did not get the answer for my question. What was the reason given for the distruction of the masjid? Please,do not write me what you think the intentions of those people was. Just write me the given reason and let me anlize it myself.
I again speak about peace. Let’s preach peace. Islam should be a religion that people accept by choice and the choice should be given to the individual. But I still do not think violence is the only and best way to achieve a certain goal. I even wish it would not even be in the list of the choices.
Peace be upon all!
Dear Bear sorry if i offend any one. The reason why I said that was some body questioned my identity for not supporting the violent solution. As you said,we should defend our right through peaceful meanse. Unlike the past regimes who even doesn’t deem us Ethiopians,the current regime is by far the most inclusive government. The diverse picture of Ethiopia can be seen on the composition of the parliamnet.
To be clear what I am saying is we should fight and demand respect of right through legal meanse.
I don’t think that there is anything wrong on being converted to Isalm. You could probably trace down yourself to the profet’s line. However,we all are decendents of Allah as we all are a complete work of Allah.
On the other hand,Fatuma,I enjoy your comments together with Hassan and Freedom.
I just have one point to bring up to the discussion. I think Ethiopian is the biggest picture. We have to struggle to get equal rites with other majorities or monorities. But I think it is again wrong to think that we are equal but more equal than others. After all,all has the rite to follow whatever religion he prefers to. We have the rite to disagree but not to condomn.
I always pray that Allah shall bring peace to my country Ethiopia. I did not yet delete the files of tourture and harassment my muslim brothers passed through during the previous ethiopian governments. I like to thank allah for giving us chance even to get Jumaa prayer of through out the country.
I still want to ask one question:what was the intention for the distraction of the masjid and who did it?
I do not think violence is the solution. It is not a question of minority or majority. It is a question of respect. Let’s not encourage violence but struggle for equality and finally,let’s not forget the good things we got recentally. I don’t think it is right to paint all the goods and the bads in dark.
Peace be upon you all
Dear Muslim Ethiopians,
This is my first time to visit this website. I am deeply concerned on the idea of some people’s posting.
It is disapointing to see a worship place being demolished. It is not just. That is the end of the story. It dosen’t do good to criminalize cristians for what ever the government did. We are ethiopians and think about the better way we will serve the country.
If you think like arab ( how many of us know how arabs treat us??)
Mohammed you must be stupid and ignorant of Islam. You can’t give or deny me my religion. I don’t need support exteremist like you to be muslim. Muslim is religion of peace and love. Real muslims do not preach hate and violence. Usually it is the newly convertees who preach violence. I am original muslim from Negash and can trace my lineage back to Mohammad. Unlike you guys who are recently convertees of wollo or x-pente Oromos,I am original muslim from Negash. So stop questioneing my identity.
You should know that it is under this governement that we muslims are treated equal. Therefore instead of creating havoc and instability in the street of addis,we must challenge it through legal ways if we believe injustice is done to our community. Other than that declaring war on our people will fire back on us. As Tigrean Muslim,I don’t support other muslims who hand over bullet to kinjit and help creat instability in my country.
AslamuAleykum to all muslim brothers and sisters,
As you all know,the time is getting rough and harder for muslim to stand for their own rights. 1st i want to comment on what “Omar”has said. I dont think he is a muslim at all. He is person with no understaning of Islam. Omar,indeed Islam is the only way of life acceptable to God and other than that is nothing but false. Omar,you need to read what had been contributed by muslim to the world. If it wasnt for Islam today,the world will be in dark edges as the christian europe once were before they got knowledge from muslim. So if u need to know more about islamic civilisation just google it. 2n thing i want comment is that what has happened in Arat kilo. To me this is complete disgrace and hineous crime. Mosque and other worship sites should be respected becasue as they are the house in which people worship God. Islam has never done this act,in islam all miniorites has been respected and treated equal. Finally,i want to say to my brothers and sisters in islam to have paitence and to be firm in our iman. So that the help of Allah will come and inshallah a person like Saladin will come to restore the diginity and the honour of the Muslims.
WS WR WB
P.S. I am a convert to islam from christianity.
Praise to be ALLAH the lord of the world who guided me to the truth. I know also many more christian will join this beautiful way of life.

Asalaam Alikum
I am sorry I did not reply earlier.
You said you are thinking of starting a party led by Muslims that puts the interest of all oppressed Muslims as its main agenda with the idea that this party can negotiate with existing oppostion parties.
If you feel that none of the other opposition parties are adequately addressing Muslim issues ,than your idea makes sense. However,it might be difficult if not impossible to have a united Muslim political party given the many ethnic and ideological differences among Muslims.
Another suggestion is to join the current opposition parties as there are general issues they address concerning all Ethiopians such as democracy,property rights and so on.
At the same time,a seperate Muslim league or organization can be created that can organize Muslim voters and activists around specific Muslim issue that most Muslims can agree on regardless of their ethnicity or ideology. This organization need not be a political party per se,but rather a muslim advocasy group that brings Muslim issues to the forefront as needed. So by organizing Muslim voters,this league can negotiate with any party and give its support depending on their stand on religious issues.
Regards.
i hope it start war and go to other muslims tons
Yes I agree with the last Idea ,we must support the available news papper,for instance ,salafiyya weekly news paper have no office,no computers for writting on it they write out side by paying,so me mut stand whith each other to do what is needed!
Fatuma/Freedom and all other participantes,
Asselam Aleikum!
I fully agree on the fact that discussion on what to do put us on the right direction. The last two comments especially attracted my attention which I over looked. tsk bro. Fatuma and Freedom.
I have,however,one unclear thing which I ask my sis Fatuma to elaborate. You suggested that Ethiopian Muslims join democratic forces as all the atrocities the government is waging on Ethiopian Muslims are the result of absence of democratic governance. I fully agree with the second part while I am left worndering which force you have in mind. I know there are various groups who claim to be struggling for democracy to be established in Ethiopia. Actually this is the usual claim of the present government. We are here obliged to see things beyond the meer words. Here comes my problem because to the best of my knowledge,none of the existing parties showed interest to bring in Muslims in their rank. The crimes perpetrated against Ethiopian Muslims should be a clear indication of their desire to supress the problem of Muslims. It has not appear to be good enough to be on their agenda. I wonder how many press realeases we would see if sth befall on the Christian Community. Now my question which I ask Fatuma to shed light on is which forces we may join? I am thinking if seting up a party that is led by Muslims could help. This party may then put the interst of all opressed Ethipians and negotiate with the existing parties.
The suggestion of bro. Freedom is one that we need to give great attention to. There is a lack of information. Even the information that reach our community are neither in full nor in their original form. The solution that I can see is to start immediately a short-wave radio broadcast,why not an hour per week.
Besides,we need to support the available news papers to broaden their coverage –sponsor Mosques,student organisations,Medresas,.. so that they too can receive them. What other suggestion are there still? how can we materialise these suggestions? From which one we may start.
Asselamu AWW
I think now we are in the right direction and the discussion should continue on the actions that we need to take as back up to the struggle for God given right of freedom of worship.Our brother and sisters have paid for this noble right and that is for all Ethiopians.
The diaspora role is quite important and should take active role.If we don’t show our solidarity and get organized no one gives head to what we say here and there.I think EThiopian Muslim is fed up and all is the same from this repect and each and every individual is disperately looking for strong organized muslim community.Alhamdu Lillah,we have clear objective as muslims and Allah will reward us for each and every action we do in this respect.We all know that and agree that we have to do something,and the most important is to gather under one umbrella irrespective of minor differences,plotical affliation,and ethnic back ground.This would be the best way to make a deal with any other body.If the diaspora function properly,Allah willing it can play a key role to bring considerable change among the community.
Back home,Ethiopian muslims don’t know much the ahwaal among themselves we all know how the information is being blocked and amy Allah reward them NEME has helped us to know what is going in differnent part of the country before those in the vicinity get it.This is a good begin that should be fostered and there should be future consideration of how to feed this information to all community not only in diaspora but back home.I hope this by itself would inspire muslims to get organized and realize what is being done in their names which with no doubt help to wipe out un necessary minor differnces with which they got engaged with.
Freedom for all
wassalam
Suggestion #7
The present TPLF goverment is a dictatorship and illigitimate and can not guarantee us our rights.
We can not continue to be dependent on the good will of unrepresentative unelected ruling factions that come and go every 17 years.
We,and ONLY we can guarantee our rights ONLY if we are empowered politically in a DEMOCRATIC system.
This mosque destruction is a symptom of the greater problem of lack of democracy that has left us us voiceless and powerless.
The looters and vandals were able to destroy this mosque because they understand too well that there is no goverment that is committed to the rule of law and genuine civil rights in Ethiopia.
These bums that destroyed the masjid were confident that there will be no serious goverment effort to investigate this episode and to bring them to court.
So it is important to understand that we Muslims must struggle
for a democratic political system that will empower us to protect ALL our rights.
It is VERY important for us to understand that we need to strive for democracy,rule of law,religious equality and civil rights in Ethiopia for ALL.
We must join forces with with all the other communities in Ethiopia with the understanding that democracy is a common goal that benefits all.
So I suggest that point #7 be to coordinate our efforts with other political opposition groups who have shown committnent to democracy .
We must also show to other communities that WE ARE COMMITTED TO DEMOCRACY IN ETHIOPIA.
My respect and salutations to the brothers who demonstrated for their rights.
You are an inspiration to those of us in the diaspora.
We in the diaspora must demonstrate our support.
thank you all for the comments. I think the case of Omar is dealt with the blog owner. That is good. I this suggest that care be taken not to allow irrelevant comments disturb the mail topic.
So far we have expressed our thoughts/opinion. Lets now focus on concrere action to take. Maybe the forum will be the right place to discuss.
As a suggestion here,
1. The demonstration has to continue.
2. The Muslims need to get organised,wust lewust,and guide it.
2. Muslims in the diaspora give them full backing –ideological or otherwise;join them by holding demonstration,lobbying for the suffering of Ethiopian Muslims to get attention by the world community.
3. set up an emergency funding foundation that would help support the \”struggle for Justice,equality,…\”.
4. be ware of the government tactic,clear or obscured,to hide its atrocities,violation of Muslims right of worship,…
5. Muslim Community leaders need to wake up from their deep-sleep and show leadership.
6. Organizations and networks like BADR &NEME help an international body that would plan &coordinate the global effort.
What suggestion you do have? I have also put this text on the forum. Eniwoyay eski. Here is the link to the forum:http://www.ethiopianmuslims.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?p=242#242
I agree. We have more important issues to discuss. This might be a diversionary tactics. So please don’t transform the discussion forum to endless rebuttals. Let’s concentrate on the real issue. How to guarantee our rights and mobilize our resource.
Dear brothers in islam stop responding the person wrote by the name Omar.He already told us who he is ,even though his name is omar and try to consentrate on the issue at hand.
what a stupid guy is omar and i don’t know why he prefered
this name .Anayways Allah guides u to the right path,islam and be the real omar.
[Omar],
Hoow amazing you are!
You began to put words in others mouth. Which article deals about comparison of religion? Whoever say Islam is this &Chistianity is that?
We all are talking about people\’s right? We are talking about freedom of belief! We are talking about equality! We are crying for justice! We are talking about respect for the rule of law! We are talking about respect for our values! We are talking about understanding and peaceful co-existence! Nothing more –nothing less! No vague words! No No No …!
You are not the first nor will you be the last to characterize such pristine demands of Ethiopian Muslims as \”intolerance\”. The past governments and their beneficieries have done so,some ignorant people have continued &will continue to do so. We are not new to this sort of characterisation and no one would ever be surprised with that except of course feeling terribly sorry for him/her.
Intellegent person would first try to remove his/her ignorance about Ethiopian Muslims and Islam as well as his inherent biasness that came along with centuries of falsehood and brainwashing! We can then have commen vocabularies to use in our discussion!
I am sure no one here would like to spend his/her time on trash comments which has no any relevance to what is being discussed. All of us would like to stick to the given topic as well. Nothing of your words however appear to contribute to this. You would not be surprised then if I tell you you are worthless on this blog at this time.
Thank you for letting us know who you are. Please take not of then name does not buy any thing!
Bye!
Admin Negashi OJ!
Most of you guys are narrow minded and intolerant to other faiths and religions. Religion is all about faith. Every believer simply believes without reasoning. No relgion is better than any other religion. Stop that our religion is right and others is wrong. It is this attitude that alienates us from other people. If one believes in stone,or cattle any kind of religion,it is none of our business and we have no right to denigrate other religions. If we are calling for respect of our relgion,we should also respect their religion. Thus chiristianity is *** ,and Islam is ***** is wrong. Every religion is right and should stop comapring religions.
Second,nobody is claiming Ethiopia as “christian country”. It is true for some time Haileselase has entertrained “a christian island”falacy. Let alone at this point of time,even derge never accepted such ideas. So don’t bring such absurd thoughts and confuse ethiopian muslims.
Third,don’t comapre the number of mosques in aratkilo with the number of churches. Arat kilo area is dominated by chiristians and it is natural to see more churches than mosques. How many churches are around merkato or Harar compare to mosques?
So guys Ethiopia is not muslim or chritians but a diverse country. If we want see peaceful and prosperoous Ethiopia tolerance is the very instrumental to attain it.
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters,I am happy for all your responses for Omar. I didn’t get Omar’s intention. is he encouraging destruction,chaos and what else.. Any way it is clear his idea is absurd. A country can never prosper crushing the interset of half of its population. What democracy is all about is to to respect the vote of even a single person. If so,and if our leaders,”the meleses”are really working for the country and its poeple,the should at least,haven’t wasted their scarce resources in demolishing an already built mosque suppressing the interest of all that crowd for no reason than hatred and dishonor of muslims and Islam. In doing so they are paving the way of destruction of the country,let alone builing schools and technology to it.
Brothers and Sisters let’s forward our suggestion on what to do ahead and let us not pay attention on ideas like Omar.
I was surprized by the insensivity of the Goverment towards the Muslim. I think the Goverment must stop its traditional looking the muslim as a second citizen. Enough is enough.
Omer Said,
“If I were a leader I will demolish more mosques and churches and build hospitals and schools.”
Omer,dispite you hope to hide your real identity behide a Muslim name,your words exposed who you are. Your Ignorance speeks your rear idenitity.
Just in case you wish to know reality –Unlike churches,mosques are not built for lexury. They are built because there is huge demand. I thing you are stupied enough to imagine what the demand for praying place can be when there is none in the whole Arat Kilo kifle ketema?
Ali told you about the role of a mosque. They are places to shape a responsible generation,places from where an ideal society can be formed,maintained —from which peace,understanding,tolerance,can be taught. A mosque plays a great role both in education as well as health care. What Hospital can treat an internally diseased society? What education you would aspire to offer your children while they are morally ignorant?
Worshipping places are vital for a peaceful,active,healthy society and only ignorant people like you ever wish to see them demolished.
Equality of people and freedom of worship,both milestones of a democratic society,entails that no difficulty be placed on citizens. What is the reality? While churches are built at every corner of the country,building a mosque in a the while kifle ketema with more than 13 churches is a crime. Tell us now what justification one can give for this open-day “Adileo”?
Omer,it is upto the believers to determine what they need to exercise their belief. Please go to hell with your ideals to demolish Mosques. Muslims have no any problem if the christians build churches. Our demand is not about why churches are built but why we are prevented from building our praying house. That is all and Christians have to understand that!
Hope that helps you see things in a clear mirror!
Hey Omar,
You are a born stupid and i dont think you are muslim in the first place. Deep inside you you know that not a singl church has been demolished by Weyane so in a way you are giving the go ahed for further demolishing of Mesjids. and for your info this mesjid is the only mesjid in aratkilo area and am sure u know how amny churchs we have in that vecinity and big ones. It is not up to you to decide what we need it seems you even dont know mesjid is the palce to educate our children and develop responsible and fruitfule generation by introducing them to islamic toughts and teachings.
I think we should strugle for the construction of mesjeides in every corner welahi it will be good even for the kafirs.
Dear “Omar”,
I am glad you gave us a chance to read our concerns. But I am also equally disappoited by ur ‘nationalist’as well as secular view of religion. As a result u may think these places play no role for a country’s economic dev’t.
Well,historically be it in the west or in the east,it was the church (not necessarily the authentic Christianity) which has been responsible for the poor (and most often harsh) way of living. The west thus tries to affirm that its civilasation was a result of its emanicipation from the church. Quite contrary,though,Islam has been a leading system for its people that encouraged its nation to engage more in science thus the term “Islamic Civilazation.”
To put matters in short,I really encourage to read more about Islam,which is by the way not only a religion but also a way of life,especially its ideals with regards to economic development,social systems,etcetra.
Coming to the point,ur narrow understanding of Islam and the mosque puts non less than the ones who do not want to see mosques not bcs they believe we have enough of them,but bcs of mere hatred and ‘asteyawinet’. Those who think that Addis,for that matter Ethio,is a Christian Island which Muslims are not allowed to exercise their rights!! This reminds of the current saying,“Betekirstian be hilm,mesgid gin bedem”
If you r a secular person please take heed of the principle that economic development on its own can never satisfy peoples’need nor can it sustain social order.
To my fellow Muslims brothers and sisters,
never give up and be united as the enemies of Islam from within and abroad are still trying hard to undermine our rights. May Allah rise a true leader amongst us after which we can exercise our rights and in the mean time be part of the process of developing our country.
Why should the poorest country in the world spend its resources on building mosqueses and churches? The reason why we are the poorest country in the world is not because we don’t have enough churches and mosques. Ethiopia has already enough mosques and churches. What Ethiopia lackes is education and technology. We need build schools and hospitals,if we want see our contry join the civilized world.
if I were a leader I will demolish more mosques and churches and build hospitals and schools.
i hope the current regime of ethiopia behave and implement what they have draft on the country constitution,sometimes i feel this regime has the hidden agenda to creat conflict b/n the muslim and christian of ethiopian…but it doesn’t go long,we will break their strategy and continiously leave together ..we are created by the same LORD..
Woyane want us to support him during the election. Now,they are destroying our mosque. Tomorrow? who knows! Abyotawi Democracy might not need any religion,but pagans like Meles. Have you seen Meles in Mosque or in a Chirch?
As the time of the emperor (the old bad days) Ethiopian Muslims are obligated,to get permission to build a Mosque and Muslims peasants had to pay half of theirs harvest to the orthodox churches,who owns more than half of the land of the country.
The case of the Arat Kilo Mosque elucidates,we Ethiopian Muslims still under this similar situation. The demolishing of the Mosque is initiated by the order of the patriarch,given to the mayor of Addis Ababa who in his turn passes the order to the federal police who finally carried out this cowardly action.
The only difference I can see,comparing the Monarchy era,is this time my Muslim brothers/sisters have finally said “enough is enough” and ready to pay whatever it cost to secure the their right as Muslim Ethiopians.
Let us be unite and pray Allah (SW) give us the strength
They don’t make public why they demolished as they have no reason but due to the legacy of old regimes and their usual “ilegal”doesn’t work here .If the mosqoue was legal and has been serving for years why they should demolish in the first place.We always here “mosqoues demolished”under some excuses that one can’t accept.I think the cosecutive crimes commited agaisnt mislims is reaching its maximum.The regime is doing for nothing but to buy the sympathy of US which was reluctant .I am sure EThiopian muslims are so patient but if things go too far like this then muslims would have nothing but to strife for their right.
Let us unite and strife for religious freedom and equity,and let us keep praying for that as well!!!
wassalm
We have been told that the constitution respect the freedom of religion,however,if does not uphold this basic freedom,it does not worth the in and paper.
