The armed group, which calls itself the Oromo Liberation Army, has been attacked by the government army through its spokesman, Oda Terbi. According to the spokesman, the government forces launched the attack yesterday morning, Monday, April 30, 2015. The attack by the group called Shene in the government has been launched through Jeldu in West Showa Zone and Adami Tulu in East Showa Zone.

It should not be forgotten that the government and the Oromo Liberation Army sent six-six representatives to Tanzania to resolve the conflict between them a few days ago, but they failed to reach an agreement. The attack by the Oromo Liberation Army is now open days after it was announced that the negotiations had failed.

Oromo Liberation Army spokesperson Oda Terbi has attached a photo of the people wearing federal police uniforms who they say have been attacked by our fighters. However, the government has not said anything about the attack.

An armed group that broke away from the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and which the government calls itself the Oromo Liberation Army has been active in the four Welega zones, Western Showa and Southern Oromia areas for the past years. The Oromo Liberation Army states that it is an organization whose primary objective is to fight for the Oromo people to determine their own rights and to restore democracy, justice and constitutional order.

Ethiopians living in foreign countries are to be taught English

The Ministry of Education has announced that because there are not enough English language teachers in Ethiopia, Ethiopians living in foreign countries and Ethiopians of Ethiopian descent are going to come to Ethiopia and teach English language.

The Minister of Education Berhanu Nega (Professor) specifically told the reporter that Ethiopians living abroad, who train not only students but also teachers, are assigned to schools in Ethiopia to teach English.

“There are not enough English language teachers in the country. They are still undergoing a lot of training,” said the minister. “We need more teachers. We are also trying to teach new English teachers in a new way,” he said.

He added that by making an agreement with Ethio Telecom, a “portal” has been prepared where any Ethiopian can learn English language for free.

Asked by the reporter why it was not possible to have Ethiopians and native Ethiopians come and teach, instead of having English teachers in the country develop the language, Berhanu (Professor) said, “We also work to provide training to English language teachers in the country.” In addition to that, we also have Ethiopians from abroad whose mother tongue is English come and teach. In addition, the way to teach in digital form will be facilitated with modern technology,” he said.

Sometimes people raise the question why the education system is not in the national language, the minister said, “It is better if we agree on ten national languages, not one. We are planning to assign one to each school to teach 3000 Ethiopians who are native speakers of English, to teach both teachers and students at home,” he explained.

“Ethiopian English language education is very affected due to the negative impact on the education system as a whole, so we have to work under a lot of pressure, this is the way we are going,” he added.

One of the major problems in the education sector in Ethiopia is the brokenness of the English language. English has been taught as the language of instruction in Ethiopia for more than 70 years from high school to university. Birhanu (Professor) explained.

He said that there is no education without a language, that if the English language is not well known, it is impossible to follow the types of subjects taught in the same language, the harm of not being able to know the English language is not only in speaking and not speaking, but it also causes harm in other forms of education, so it is important to call on Ethiopians living abroad to volunteer to teach. .

It has been confirmed that Ethiopian parents in America and other countries are interested in sending their children whose mother tongue is English to Ethiopia. The minister said that sending their children of Ethiopians abroad to study in the country not only plays a great role in the development of the English language for teachers and students, but it is also a good opportunity for them to learn about the culture and history of their country.
