"He firmly believed in one thing: the power of the mind over that of the gun," said Galindo, who shared the"same mattress, same blanket, same food, same clothes" as Bate in prison. "I asked him if he was aware of the risks to be seen talking to a foreign journalist. He replied that I shouldn't worry about that.""The Oromo people are far from having their grievances addressed," according to Galindo.
He added that large parts of the Oromia region have been incommunicado since Bate's killing and information is only slowly trickling out.But, Bate's death is also mourned by all Ethiopians, across the political spectrum and ethnic groups.
