OF INNOCENT PEOPLE CONINUES

A the popular protest against the repressive regime in Addis Abeba intensifies, the Tigrean regime that has already killed more than 130 people, wounded many more and jailed hundreds of others has intensified its rounding up of innocent citizens in the dead of the night.

Hadiyas who have been living in the Somali region and who had been called Yerer Bare against their will raised the question of their need to have their own enclave and region and were subjected to repression as a consequence.

Introduction

In order to suggest a viable solution to the current situation in Ethiopia, one has to sum up what has happened during the 33 years of overt association and during the 44 years of covert struggle. I am referring to the Army of EPRP also known as the EPRA. The 44 years of clandestine struggle refers to the political party of EPRP.

Introductory Words have impacts on our lives but not as deep as concepts do. Back in the 1960’s, I remember when two Maru brothers indulged in argument that they were from a region known as Tigray; that they speak Tigrigna and that they would like to be called Tigrians.

Recently, Bekele Gerba and his fellow prisoners were brought before the regime's court wearing tee shirts, shorts and barefoot. They have revealed that their black suits were taken away from them at the notorious Kilinto prison where the guards have beaten and threatened them with worse for denouncing the crime of the regime against protesters in the Oromo areas.

A Race to the Bottom: Is Proud Ethiopia at Risk?

Aklog Birara (DR)
