A Luta Continua - #AmharaRevolution ✊

Dear all: the first two videos show #ChalaAlemo claiming as a student of Harvard. The first video shows him asking a question to the former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon at Harvard Kennedy school while the second videos shows him giving an interview. The third video is a crucial piece of evidence in which he he explicitly calls for the ethnic cleansing of the #Amhara people. Please report him at oge@harvard.edu Here is a sample letter I sent: To whom it may concern: Re: Chala Alemo a Harvard student calling for ethnic violence in Ethiopia Chala Alemo, a former/current Harvard student, has been calling for ethnic cleansing against the Amhara people in Ethiopia. He is seen in the below link speaking in his native language Oromigna with English subtitle. xitter.cf/Amharafirst88/st… Here is another video showing Mr. Alemo who appeared to be asking a question to Ban Kin-Moom, former Secretary-General of the UN, at the Harvard Kennedy School. 
 youtube.com/watch?app=deskto… This is extremely alarming as the Amhara region is currently a centre of large-scale conflict between the Amhara people and the central government of Ethiopia. Mr. Alemo is applauding the central government of Ethiopia and calling the rest of the public to target the Amhara people.

Dear all: I would like to bring to your attention a matter that, in my view, raises serious concerns about professional conduct and academic responsibility. A faculty member @UCalgary the University of Calgary, Professor Getachew Assefa, recently posted a message on social media encouraging individuals to report two U.S.-based academics, Professor Mesenbet Assefa and Assistant Professor Tingirtu Gebretsadik, to U.S. immigration authorities, alleging their involvement in ethnic cleansing and genocide. The post included direct instructions on how to submit reports to immigration enforcement agencies. These two scholars have publicly advocated for the human rights of the Amhara community in Ethiopia, a group that many international observers have documented as facing severe violence and persecution. The materials I am attaching provide context for the advocacy positions they have taken and the atrocities they have spoken against. In my view, Professor Getachew’s message conflates criticism of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front with hostility toward the people of Tigray themselves. Opposition to the actions of a political organization should not be mischaracterized as ethnic hatred. Encouraging immigration reporting against fellow scholars for their advocacy raises serious questions about academic ethics and professional responsibility. For transparency and context, I am attaching several video materials that illustrate the atrocities the two professors have publicly opposed. These materials are included so that anyone reviewing this issue can understand the broader context in which these accusations are being made. If you share concerns about the appropriateness of this conduct by a university faculty member, you may wish to communicate respectfully with the relevant offices at the University of Calgary. Below is a sample letter that can be adapted by anyone who wishes to express concern in a professional and respectful manner. Subject: Concern Regarding Public Conduct by University of Calgary Faculty Member Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to respectfully raise a concern regarding public statements made by Professor Getachew Assefa of the University of Calgary. Professor Assefa recently posted a message on social media encouraging individuals to report two U.S.-based academics, Professor Mesenbet Assefa and Assistant Professor Tingirtu Gebretsadik, to U.S. immigration authorities, alleging their involvement in ethnic cleansing and genocide. The post included instructions on how to submit reports to immigration enforcement agencies. Both scholars have publicly engaged in advocacy concerning human rights issues in Ethiopia. From my perspective, the accusations appear to stem from their criticism of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front and their advocacy regarding violence against the Amhara community. Encouraging immigration reporting against fellow academics for their views raises concerns about intimidation and the chilling of scholarly debate. I respectfully ask whether such conduct is consistent with the University of Calgary’s commitments to academic freedom, respectful conduct, and professional responsibility. I am attaching materials that provide context for the statements referenced above. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] Recipients To: disclose@ucalgary.ca Cc: dean@sapl.ucalgary.ca info@sapl.ucalgary.ca respect@ucalgary.ca @ICEgov @CBCCalgary
