The yearily Haj Pilgrimage should observe COVID-19 guide lines number this year, but not Irrecha, say Oromo extremists

The yearily Haj Pilgrimage was observed in Mekka and Madina this year on a much much reduced number of the pilgrimages (from about 2.5 million last year to just around 1000 this year and only the locals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to some reports), but Oromo extremists from abroad are calling for the Irrecha Pilgrimage to be observed as usual this year as well, for them the COVID-19 and its prevention guidelines as formulated by respected world organisations in the field, including WHO, are not relevant. For them the main thing is that someone may get agitated and called on to close roads and damage some properties and possibly kill few innocent citizens, so that they may get few graphic images that they can use to run around and raise money and call their SLOGAN "Abiy Must Go" and "Down Down Ethiopia".

If the youth may heed to the call of the extrimists and go to the gathering in their droves like usual, there could be a catastrophe for many many innocent citizens of the nation, especially those residing in the rural areas, from where the you may come and go back with the highly contiguous virus causing COVID-19.

THe government should not allow that to happen.
