Bisho Jarsa, trained as a domestic servant, went on to become a teacher

When Neville Alexander used to visit his maternal grandmother Bisho Jarsa as a boy, he never suspected the extraordinary story of how she had come from Ethiopia to the South African city of Port Elizabeth.

Anti - Oromo stance of Ethiopian Airlines

“when he stands on a street side and begs, he will refrain from his talk of the rights of the Oromo, and others will see him and also stop talking about Oromo rights"

       Ms. Firehiwot Worqu , Ethiopian Air Lines Management, Executive officer.

Agent of suppression?

After  reading  a letter of complain by  Ethiopian Airlines employee On Gada.com and Oromia Affairs blogs, I was forced to write this article as an urgent call on Ethiopian Ailines international clients  to be aware of the inhuman and unethical practice of this African carrier.  If you are green, organic, and a person to who human suffering and injustice matters,  Ethiopian Air Lines is not your choice

The story is about an ex-employee of Ethiopian Airlines. An Ethiopian and Oromo by ethnicity. Mr. Dirribi writes how Ethiopian Air  Line management, against its own internal rules , procedures and the rights of citizens in that country, denied him severance pays and other benefits after he was released from detention.
