Jawar Mohammed, the owner of Oromia Media Network Minnesota based ethnic television station, said on his social media page on Tuesday in the evening, his armed guards are under siege in his residence. 

His claim is not verified by other sources. Some seem to think that he could just be plotting for his next political move.

If his claim about armed groups deployed near his residence is true, the incident came days after road closures leading to the capital Addis Ababa and disruptions of meetings which he is believed to have organized. 

In an update he wrote in Amharic and English on his personal Facebook page, and he has over a million followers,  he said “we are observing that many armed men are deployed near my residence. We ask seriously [referring to himself and his guards] that this force refrain from its move and retreat. The security will exercise its right to defend itself if anyone armed, individual or group, is entering  my residence.”   

He added that whoever deployed the force without any notice and/or concrete reason will take responsibility for damage and violence that will follow, he added. 

Sources close to him said that he has initiated a legal process to renounce his US citizenship and move to Ethiopia for good. The 

The Ethiopian government has been criticized for its leniency towards Jawar who is believed to have caused numerous conflicts and bloodshed by mobilizing radicalized ethnic Oromo nationalists known as Qeerroo. 

Months after the ruling coalition elected Abiy Ahmed as prime minister of Ethiopia, Jawar Mohammed said during an interview with local station that “there are two governments in Ethiopia; one that is led by Abiy Ahmed and one that is led by Qeerroo.” 

His followers have committed numerous atrocities in different parts of the Oromo region of Ethiopia and beyond usually against Ethiopians who are not Oromo speakers.  

He acts like a warlord and seems to consider himself as the leader of Qeerroo and has been a challenge for prime minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and Oromo regional state. 

Abiy Ahmed warned individual media owners based overseas to stop manufacturing conflicts while he was answering question at the Ethiopian parliament on Tuesday this week.

  2. Keep up with your ethnic bullshit. Your ethnic group will never take power again. I am not a supporter of jawar but the worst thing could ever Happen to this country is for return of genocidal emperor’s of the past. Oromo will never allow it , people of Tigria will never allow it , Somali will never allow it, sidamo will never allow it, Somalis will never allow and other small minorities will never allow it.
    Their is no turning back THE DYNASTY IS GONE AND DUTEST, get over it.
    If only the good people of this country come together and dish out all this ethnic nationalism.
    Jawar is not an Angel but not a Satan too. You can call him names all you want to please your readers and who but for most Who are not aware of you social media page it does not make any difference.
    WASHINGTON AND GONDAR AMHARA ELITE WILL NEVER TAKE POWER PERIOD.

  3. Well, It is time for him to launch a coup d’état and take over the entire country as he way close to do in early 2008. If not for Lemma and Abiy begging him to give them the chance, he has told the world during an interview on more than one occasion that his followers were ready to march in and take over the capital. He was literally minutes away from doing that and his determined also very powerful army was tightening the noose on the city when Lemma and Abiy fell down on their knees and begged for one chance. You remember the gesture he was making with his fingers showing a tight ring using the thumb and the index fingers. I believe it was on one of the websites of the group who has hijacked the TPLF from the noble people of Tigray.

    Well, I think his patience has run out now. With welcoming arms from el-Sisi it is the right time to make the move. There is only one gallant and fearless fighter in the old country at this time. Everyone is a sissy. Lemma is a sissy. Abiy is a sissy!!! Every soldier in the 200,000-strong army is a sissy. Those who have hijacked the TPLF have already declared that a state of war has existed between the noble people of Tigray and the rest of the country(well, may be not with this gallant and fearless leader) and they will declare a separate republic soon. Poor sissy Lemma!!! Poor sissy Abiy!!!

    I am not sure about this phrase in the article above. It goes: ‘The security will exercise its right to defend itself’. Which security force are we talking about? Does that mean this media mogul has his own security force? I would appreciate it very much if the dear editors of this esteemed website shed some light on this one. I remember one of the last minute issues the Abiy administration faced with the OLF was disarming the OLA to which Ibsaa agreed albeit that punk who has been wreaking havoc in the western part of the country.

  8. @Borkena.com

    Even the way in which you wrote the title”radical ethnic Oromo nationalist ” shows that you are partisan. Jawar is just an Oromo nationalist but not radical. the hatred against Jawar emanates from those who hate Oromo people and the skill, courage, knowledge and wisdom Jawar has in defending Oromo right.

    Once again, are you dreaming to disappear the nation, nationalities and peoples, culture, languages, dignities and many more?

    Once again, are you planning to kill innocents because of that they are not Amhara ?

    Do not dream what will never be happen again.
    Try to refrain from what you are doing.

  10. he is a puppet for our enemies Egypt and other arab countries.he is opportunistic voulcher who says different things to different people leading uneducated kerro korkoros to do evil acts. He needs tobe stopped before he causes serious damage.

  11. Jawar,

    You instigated ethnic fear and manipulation against the united Ethiopian people living in Addis. What did you expect?

    If it is Oromo superiority that you want to promote, it might be better to do it from the original lands of Oromo (Bale mountains – not Addis).

  12. As an Ethiopian citizen I do have agree with you; but Jawar is misleading the people of Oromia and nations have to think wisely than negligently serving as his loudspeaker.
    Beyond, all nation has to remember the sacrifice paid before for the soverinity of Ethiopian nations hence wisely we have to use the peace making opportunities rather.

  13. Jawar is a man’s man period!
    Swallow it you neftegna niftam whores!
