Today, I read on ER about the death sentence of many Oromo fighter-jet pilots.
What’s funny about this court drama is not only the sentences given to these heroes but also the awefully long time it took the judiciary system to get to these point. The propostrous charges of genocide that allegedly took place maybe 25 years ago should not have taken all these years to complete. Justice delayed is justice denied. I don’t know much about the historical and legal issues pertaining to these pilots but this story reminded me of this brave Oromo heroine who became the first female figher-pilot to down an enemy figher-jet in the history of air warfare.
Check the last paragraph on page 10 of this PDF.
Her name is Aster Tolossa and in 2005 she was the topic of this discussion in The Aviation Forum.
I say we need to pop the chardonnay for her and pardon those pilots in the news.
