ጎንደሮች ጫት እንዳይገባ በሰጡት ማስጠንቀቂያ መሰረት በጎንደር ሳንጃ ከተማ የተያዘን ጫት እንዲህ አቃጥለውታል ። እስኪ ተግባራቸው ልክ ነው የምትሉ ላይክና ሼር በሏቸው ። 

Translation:

According to the Gondar people's warnings, the khat that was seized in the Gonder region Sanja city was thus burned. Those who say that their decisions was correct "like" and "share" this post.

So much for khat eulogies. More reasons to disclaim Jessica Beshir's khat film for the Oscar nomination, which is actually a camouflage for her Oromo agitation/independence/secessionist project.

As the film gets closer to the Oscars, Beshir gets bolder with her statements. Here is what she says in a recent interview:

I am just happy that I gained that political consciousness when it comes to the socio-political structure of the country, and how it has come about, and that was almost a foreshadowing of what is happening today.
