The Meles regime terrorizes the Oromos to establish Tigrayan hegemony and dominate and exploit Oromian resources. The Tigrayan state elites believe that Oromo intellectuals, businessmen and women, conscious Oromo farmers, students, and community and religious leaders are the enemy of the Tigrayan interest, and they must be eliminated. State terrorism is associated with the issues of control of territory and resources and the construction of political and ideological domination. It manifests in the Ethiopian Empire in different forms. Its obvious manifestation is violence in the form of war, assassination, murder, castration, burying alive, throwing off cliffs, hanging, torture, rape, poisoning, confiscation of properties by the police and the army, forcing people to submission by intimidation, beating, and disarming citizens. The methods of killing also include burning, bombing, cutting throats or arteries in the neck, strangulation, shooting, and burying people up to their necks in the ground. The agents and militia of Meles have burned houses and villages, exterminating hundreds of Oromo men, women, and children by claiming that they are supporting the OLF.
