በኢትዮጵያ የሰው ክቡርነትን እና ጥቃት ዐልባ እንቅስቃሴን የተመለከተ የጋራ መግለጫ
በዚህ የጋራ መግለጫ (እኛ) ስማችን ከዚህ በታች የተጠቀሰው፦
- በኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ እየተባባሰ የመጣውን ጥቃት እናወግዛለን።
- በየትኛውም ብሔርና ሃይማኖት ውስጥ ያሉ እንዲሁም ፖለቲካዊ አቋም ያላቸው ሰዎች ሁሉ ክቡር የሆነ ዋጋ እንዳላቸው እናረጋግጣለን።
- የጋራችን ለሆነው ብልፅግናችን ሰላምና ፍትሕን ሰላማዊ በሆነ መንገድ፣ በውይይትና የሕግ የበላይነት በመጠበቅ እንድንሻ ጥሪ እናቀርባለን።
1. በኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ እየተባባሰ የመጣውን ዐመፅ እናወግዛለን።
እንደ ሃይማኖታዊና ዓለማዊ የምግባር መሪዎች፣ በዚህ ጊዜ በኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ በአሳሳቢ ሁኔታ እያደገ በመጣው ጥቃት ጥልቅ ኀዘን የሚሰማን ሲሆን፤ ይህንንም እናወግዛለን። ይህ ጥቃት ውብ የሆነውን የብሔር፣ የሃይማኖትና እና የፖለቲካ ብዝኀነታችንን ሳይለይ በሁሉም ኢትዮጵያውያን ላይ አሰቃቂ የሆነን መከራ እያስከተለ ነው።
በእነዚህ ክስተቶች ምክንያት በማኅበረ ሰቦቻችን መካከል እያደገ የመጣውን የደኅንነት ስጋት፣ ተስፋ የመቁረጥና የቁጣ ስሜቶች አዝማሚ እየተመለከትን ነው።
ታሪክን ወደ ኋላ ዞር ብለን ስንመለከት እንደዚህ ዐይነት ተስፋ መቁረጦች በፍጥነት ወደ በቀል ዑደት፣ ጭካኔ እና የጅምላ ጥቃት እንደሚቀየሩ እናስተውላለን።
2. ሁሉ ክቡር የሆነ ዋጋ እንዳላቸው እናረጋግጣለን።
በዚህ ወሳኝ ጊዜ እኛ ሁላችን በጋራ በመቆም የሰውን ሁሉ ክቡርነት ለማረጋገጥ ድምፃችንን በአንድ ላይ እናሰማለን። ይህ ሥነ ምግባራዊ አቋምና ኀላፊነት ከተለያየ ሃይማኖት፣ ብሔር እና ፖለቲካዊ አቋም ለመጡ ሰዎች ሁሉ የሚተገበር መሆኑን አጥበቅን እናምናለን። ይህም ለጋራ ሰላማችን፣ ፍትሕና የወደፊት ተስፋችን መሠረት ነው።
በብሉይ ኪዳን መጻሕፍ ውስጥ እንደተገለጸው “ወገንህን አትበቀል፣ ወይም ምቀኛ አትሁንበት፤ ነገር ግን ባልንጀራህን እንደ ራስህ ውደድ… አብሮአችሁ የሚኖረው መጻተኛ እንደ ገዛ ወገናችሁ ይታይ፤ እንደ ራሳችሁም ውደዱት፤” (ኦሪት ዘሌዋውያን 19፥18፡ 34)።
ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እንዳስተማረው “ጠላቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፤ ለሚጠሏችሁም መልካም አድርጉ፤ የሚረግሟችሁን መርቁ፤ ለሚበድሏችሁም ጸልዩ።… ሰዎች እንዲያደርጉላችሁ የምትፈልጉትን እናንተም እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው።” (የሉቃስ ወንጌል 6፥27-28፡ 31)።
ሐዋርያው ጳውሎስ እንዳስተማረው፣ “‘ባልንጀራህን እንደ ራስህ አድርገህ ውደድ’ በሚለው በዚህ በአንድ ሕግ [ሕጉ በሙሉ] ተጠቃልለዋል። ፍቅር በባልንጀራው ላይ ክፉ አያደርግም” (ሮሜ 13፥9-10)።
ፍትሓ ነገሥት እንደሚለው፣ “ሌሎችን ከራሳችሁ በላይ አክብሩ፤ ለሁሉም ወንድምና እኅት ሁኑ። ከሌሎች ጋር ለመጨቃጨቅና ሌለችን ለማጥቃት አትፍጠን … እንደዚህ ዐይነት ሰው በቆሸሸ ስፍራ ገላውን የሚታጠብ ይመስላል።” ምዕ 11፥ 1)
ቁርዓን እንደሚያስተምረው “በቅርብ ጎረቤትም፣ በሩቅ ጎረቤትም…መልካምን (ሥሩ)… ነፍስን የገደለ ሰው ሰዎችን ሁሉ እንደገደለ ነው፤ ሕያው ያደረጋትም ሰው ሰዎችን ሁሉ ሕያው እንዳደረገ ነው” (ቁርዓን 4፥36፤ 5፥32)
ነቢዩ መሐመድ እንዳስተማሩት፣ “እጅግ ጻድቅ የሆነ ተግባር ግንኙነቶችን ከሚያበላሹት ጋር ወዳጅነትን መፍጠር፣ ነጥቀው ለሚወስዱብን መስጠት እና የበደሉንን ይቅር ማለት ነው፨” (ሐዲስ አል ታባራኒ ቁ. 282)
የተለያዩ የኢትዮጵያ ሃይማኖታዊ ማኅበረ ሰቦች የሚጋሯቸው እነዚህ የጥንት የምግባር እሴቶች በኢትዮጵያ ሕገ መንግሥት ላይም የተንጸባረቀ (ተደንግጓል) ሲሆን፣ በሚከተለውም መልቁ ጭምቅ ሐሳቡ ቀርቧል፤ “ሰብዓዊ መብቶችና ነፃነቶች ከሰው ልጅ ተፈጥሮ የሚመነጩ፥ የማይጣሱና የማይገፈፉ ናቸው። የዜጎች እና የሕዝቦች ሰብዓዊና ዴሞክራሲያዊ መብቶች ይከበራሉ።” (አንቀጽ 10)።
3. ሰላምና ፍትሕን ሰላማዊ በሆነ መንገድ፣ በውይይትና የሕግ የበላይነት በመጠበቅ እንድንሻ ጥሪ እናቀርባለን
አሁን እየተከሰተ ባለው አሳሳቢ ቀውስና በምንጋራቸው የምግባር እሴቶች ላይ በመመርኮዝ፦
- ሰላምን እና ፍትሕን በመፈለግ ሂደት ውስጥ ሌሎችን በማጥቃት ላለመሳተፍ፣ ይልቁንም በውይይትና በሕግ የበላይነት ለመገዛት ቃል እንገባለን።
- ብዝኀ የሆነው የማኅበረ ሰባችን አባላት፣ ጥቃትን ሙሉ በሙሉ እንዲያወግዙና ሰላምን እና ፍትሕን በውይይትና በሕግ የበላይነት ለማግኘት እንዲሹ ጥሪ እናቀርባለን።
- የቤተ ክርስቲያን፣ የመስኪድ፣ የወጣት ቡድን እንዲሁም የሌሎች ማኅበራት መሪዎች፣ ተከታትዮቻቸው ጥቃትን እያወገዙ ሰላምን እና ፍትሕን በውይይትና በሕግ የበላይነት እንዲሹ ጥሪ እንዲያቀርቡላቸው እንጠይቃለን።
- ሰላምን እና ፍትሕን በመፈለግ ሂደት ውስጥ የኢትዮጵያ መንግሥት የሕግ የበላይነትን እንዲያከብርና የሰዎችን ሁሉ ደኅንነትን እንዲጠብቅ እንጠይቃለን። በተጨማሪም ሁሉን አቀፍ የሆነ ብሔራዊ ውይይትና ከጥቃት ነጻ የሆነ መጻዒ ፍኖተ ካርታ እንዲዘጋጅ እንጠይቃለን።
- በጎ ፈቃደኛ የሆኑ ሰዎች ሙሉ ቁርጠኝነታቸውን ለማሳየት በኢትዮጵያ የሰውን ክቡርነት እና ጥቃት ዐልባ እንቅስቃሴን የተመለከተውን የጋራ መግለጫ እንዲፈርሙ እንጠይቃለን።
ጊዜው አሁን ነው፤ ጥቃትም መቆም አለበት። የሁሉም ሰው ሕይወት ክቡር ተደርጎ መወሰድ አለበት። የተሻለ መጻዒ ጊዜ ሊኖረን የሚችለው ባልንጀራችንን እንደ እራሳችን ከወደደድን ብቻ ነው።

Joint Declaration for Human Value and Nonviolence in Ethiopia
In this joint declaration, we, the undersigned:
- Condemn the escalation of violence in Ethiopia.
- Affirm the sacred value of every human person across every ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation.
- Call for nonviolence, dialogue, and the rule of law in pursuit of peace and justice for our shared flourishing.
1. We Condemn the Escalation of Violence in Ethiopia
As religious and secular moral leaders, we grieve and condemn the grave escalation of violence in Ethiopia today. This violence is causing terrible suffering to all Ethiopians, in all of our beautiful ethnic, religious, and political diversity.
We witness an escalating feeling of insecurity, helplessness, and outrage across our communities.
As we look at history, we are alarmed because we see that this frustration can rapidly escalate into a vicious cycle of revenge, atrocity, and mass violence.
2. We Affirm the Sacred Value of Every Human Person
In this critical moment, we stand together and raise a united voice to affirm the sacred value of every human person. We share this ethical conviction and the responsibility it implies toward all people from every religion, ethnicity, and political affiliation. It is the foundation for our shared peace, justice, and hope.
The Old Testament declares, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself… Love the foreigner as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:18, 34)
Jesus Christ declares, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you… Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:27-28, 31)
The Apostle Paul declares, “[The entire moral law] is summed up in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to a neighbor.” (Romans 13:9-10)
The Fetha Negast declares, “Respect others more than yourself, and be the brother and sister of all. Do not be prone to quarrel or to strike anyone… Such a person is like one who takes a bath in a place full of dirt.” (Fetha Negast, Ch. 11, Pt. 1)
The Qur’an declares, “Be good to your neighbors near and far… If anyone kills a person…it is as if they kill all humankind, while if anyone saves a life it is as if they save the lives of all humankind.” (Qur’an 4:36; 5:32)
The Prophet Mohammad declares, “The most virtuous behavior is to engage those who break relations, to give to those who withhold from you, and to forgive those who wrong you.” (Hadith At-Tabarani, no. 282)
These ancient moral values shared by Ethiopia’s religious communities are enshrined and summarized in Ethiopia’s Constitution: “Human rights and freedoms, emanating from the nature of mankind, are inviolable and inalienable. Human and democratic rights of citizens and peoples shall be respected” (Article 10).
3. We Call for Nonviolence, Dialogue, and the Rule of Law for Peace and Justice
In the face of the current alarming crisis and on the basis of our shared moral values:
- We commit to practicing nonviolence and pursuing peace and justice through dialogue and the rule of law.
- We call upon every member of our diverse communities to completely reject the use of violence and to seek peace and justice through dialogue and the rule of law.
- We call upon the leadership of our churches, mosques, youth groups, and secular associations to urge their members to reject violence and to seek peace and justice through dialogue and the rule of law.
- We call upon the government of Ethiopia to uphold the rule of law, security of all persons, and human rights in pursuit of peace and justice. Furthermore, we call for an inclusive national dialogue and roadmap to a nonviolent future.
- We call upon all people of good will to symbolize their commitment by signing their name to this Joint Declaration for Human Value and Nonviolence in Ethiopia.
The time is now. Violence must stop. Every human life must be held sacred. A better future is possible when we love our neighbors as ourselves.
With shared conviction, responsibility, and hope,
Sign the Declaration
Ibsa-waloo Kabaja Dhala Namaa fi Jeequmsa dhabamsiisu/ Jeequmsa irraa fagaachu deegaruuf
Ibsa waloo kanaan, qabxiilee armaan gadiiwaliigallee mallatteessine:
- Jeequmsa Itiyoophiyaa keessaatti babal’achaa jiru cimsinee ni balaaleffanna.
- Gosa, amantii fi ilaalcha siyaasaan osoo hin jedhiin walqixummaa kabaja dhala namaa ni mirkaneessina.
- Faayidaa waloo keenyaaf jecha jeequmsa dhabamsiisu/jeequmsa irraa fagachuu, marii fi akkasumas ollantummaan seeraa fi haqni akka kabajamuuf waamicha goona.
1. Jeequmsa Itiyoophiyaa keessatti babal’achaa jiru cimsinee ni balaaleffanna!
Akka geggessitootaa amantaa fi hooggantoota hawwaasaa safuu qabaniitti , seer-dhabdummaa fi jeequmsi har’a Itoophiyaa keessatti babal’achaa jiru baay’ee nugaddisiisa, kanaaf cimsinee ni balaaleffanna. Haq-dhabdummaan kun lammiilee Itoophiyaa hunda, saboota , amataalee fi siyaasa gara gara irratti rakkinna guddaa uumaa jira.
Kun immoo hawwaasa keenya keessaatti yaaddoo, abdiikutannaa, fi mufannaa guddaa akka uumaa jiru argaa jirra.
Akka seenaa irraa arginutti, waan kun baayyee nu yaaddeessa; sababni isaas, sodaan kun gara haaloo/ xiiqii bahuutti, gochaa gara-jabinaa fi jeequmsa jabaatti saffisaan ce’uu ni danda’a waan taéef.
2. Gosa, amantii fi ilaalcha siyaasaan osoo hin jedhiin walqixummaa kabaja dhala namaa ni mirkaneessina.

Kutaan Macaafa Qulquluu Kakuu Mofaa kan labsu; "...nama akka ofii keetiitti jaalladhu malee ijaa hin baafatin, namni sibira jiraatu akkuma nama biyyaatti haa ilaalamu, ... akkuma ofiitti isa jaalladhu." (Seera Leewwotaa 19:18, 34)
Gooftaan Yesuus kan labsu: "...diinota keessan jaalladhaa, warra isin jibbaniifis gaarii godhaa isiniin jedha, warra isin abaaran eebbisaa, warra isin arrabsaniif kadhadhaa... namoonni akka isiniif godhaniif kan jaallattan isinis akkasuma isaaniif godhaa." (Luk. 6:27-28, 41)
Ergamaan Phaawuloos kan labsu: " Seerri safuu hundi abboomii kana keessaatti gudunfame: ´nama akka ofiitti jaalladhu.`...namni nama jaallatu waan hamaa nama irratti hin hojjetu, kanaafis nama jaallachuun seera raawwachuudha." (Rome 13:9-10)
Fitaha Negast kan labsu: "Ofiikee caalaa warra kaan kabaji, warra kaaniif obboleessaa fi obboleettii ta’i. Jibbaaf of hin saaxiliin akkasumas nama hinmiidhin... Namni akkasii akka nama xurii keessaatti dhagna dhiqateeti. (Fetaha Negast, Cha 11, Pt. 1)
Quraanni kan labsu: "Olloota kee fagoo fi dhiyoof gaarii ta’i, ... namni kamillee yoo nama ajjeese... akka waan lubbuu dhala namaa hunda baaseeti, yoo namni kamillee lubbuu nama tokkoo yoo baraaree, akka waan lubbuu dhala namaa hundaa baraareeti." (Qurán 4:36; 5:32)
Nabiyyi Mohammad kan labsuu: " Amaali gaariin inni caaalu warra sirraa adda ba’an ofitti qabuu, warra sidhowwataniif kennuu, akkasumas warra siyakkaniif dhiisuudha." (Hadith At-Tabarani, no. 282)
Hawaasni amantaa Itoophiyaa sonoota safuu kan durii durii kana waliin qooddatu akkasumas heera Itiyoopiyaa keessaatti cuunfamee kunuunfamee jira."Mirgi fi walabumman dhalli namaa uumamaan qabu, kan hin sarbamnee fi kan hin mulqamneedha. Mirgi namoomaa fi dimookraasii lammiilee fi uummattootaa kabajamuu qaba." (Article 10)
3. Jeequmsa dhabamsiisu/jeequmsa iraa fagachuu, marii fi akkasumas olaantummaan seeraa fi haqni akka kabajamuuf waamicha goona.
Rakkoolee amma nu mudachaa jiruu akkasumas safuu waliin qooddannu irraa ka’uun:
- Qabsoo karaa nagaa geggeessuu, akkasumas nagaanyi fi haqni karaa mariif olaantummaa seeraatiin mirkaneessuuf ni cichina.
- Miseensota hawaasota keenya bal’aa jeequmsa akka balaaleffatan, akkasumas nageenyii fi haqni karaa marii fi olaantumma seeraatiin akka mirkanaa’uu waamicha goona.
- Geggeessitoonni waldaalee amantaa, masgiidotaa, garee dargaggootaa akkasumas dhaabbileen garagaraa jeequmsa akka balaaleffatan, akkasumas nageenyii fi haqni karaa marii fi olaantumma seeraatiin akka mirkanaa’u miseensota isaanii akka gaafatan waamicha dhiyeessina.
- Mootummaan Itoophiyaa nageenyaa, haqa fi mirga nama hundaa kabachiisuuf jecha olaantummaa seeraa akka kabachiisu waamicha goona.
Jeequmsi amma dhaabbachuu qaba! Lubbuun dhalaa namaa hundaa gatii qabaachuu qaba. Yeroo ollaa keenya akka ofii keenyaatti jaallane, fuuldurri keenya ifa.
