In the name of Allah - the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Asselam Alaykum werahmatullah We Berekatuhu!
I announced my come back last time after disappearing for nearly three months. While making my self ready to share with you what I was not able in these memorable and busy three months, there came another problem for which reason I had to stay away for more days. With the grace of Allah these difficulties are now history and Negashi OJ will try to render its usual service.

In the weeks and months when nothing could be read or listened on Negashi OJ, lots of happenings took place in and around Ethiopia that are of agreat importance to us, Ethiopians in general and Muslims in particular. The situation in Somalia was and is without doubt the one that takes the first possible rank in a series of events. What else could come as a surprise than the disappearance the “glorious” UIC in a matter of days - just like dust blown by a mighty wind? I believe that that many of us have taken note of the quite useful points that came out from this event. Negashi will share his own in due time, insha Allah.
Within Ethiopia, the situations for Muslims has not been changed to the better, if it hasn’t gone from bad to worse. The situation in Jimma Zone which reached its climax towards the end of September, 2006 remained tense. Both within the court room and outside Muslims are, as always, dimed to be guilty for being victims and for not willfully accepting all what is to be laid on them.
The court that was established to look into the September-November incident that left many dead and displaced sentenced seven Muslims to death and the rest to prison ranging down from life-time imprisonment. While doing so, the court denied Muslims the right to defend themselves or appeal against the decision it handed over. They were told that the decision had come from higher authorities and their going for appeal will not bring any thing new. While this is the case for Muslims, nothing has been heard about those fanatic and fundamentalist Christians who had ignited the problem in the first place.
Rather encouraged by the backing they are recieving from the authorities to do every thing they want against Muslims and Islam in Ethiopia, these fanatic and fundamentalists Christians of the region (and in other corners of the cauntry) are arming themselves both in moral and material to launch their onslaughter on Muslims. According to a report Negashi received, at least six people (three men and three women) were killed and eight others wounded last week near Agaro town (Dembi). All the attackers escaped safely.
There was a reported claim from police of Limmu Genet town that one of the attackers is in their custody. Muslims rejected the claim as false, however. It is taken as a method too often used by the authorities to cheat Muslims and calm down their anger; buy time to reign on them.
According to another unconfirmed report coming from the same area, eight Muslims were poisoned and died instantly. The circumstances that led to their death or the poison they ate is still unknown.
