Today Southern Ethiopia regional state Cadres representatives went to Malga Districts to talk to Sidama people who refused to attend/listen to any of district pariahs whom the Sidama people consider them to be the enemies of the nation of 6 million.

 The entire people of this districts as others vehemently rejected Meles's cadres plan of uprooting Sidama people from their capital city since day one. They insisted to continue with their peaceful and non-violent resistance to date and vowed not to stop until they secure their constitutional right to regional self administration. Such a united action of the Sidama people became serious head ache to the brutal regime's cadres who decided to go and speak to the Sidama people under the pretext of talking to the Development workers (ye limat serategnch sibseba). The identity of the regional cadres who went in attempt of lecturing the Sidama people in Malga district yet to be identified. The reporter say that it won't be an easy one for the pariahs as the Sidama people had consolidated their grounds.

When I complied this information, most of the Sidama elders arrived to Hawassa for today's (19 July 2012) scheduled meeting with the Zone puppet president and others cadres. It's said that the spirits of the Sidama Ciimeeyye is so high and they strongly believe that the Sidama elders never waiver!!

Hawassa Zuria followed others Sidama districts such as Malga, Boricha, Ciire and others in refusing to pay Dehiden membership fees, Gibe dam fees and others regime associated systematic exploitation of the Sidama people from whom the regime's cadres milk from the hardly earned income from the families that technically are struggling to sustain their own subsistence. The Sidama people are refusing these unanimously in most districts and the decision is reaching all corners of the region.

On 18th of July 2012, University, College and High School students held a day long meeting in Arbegona districts at Yaye town. They critically discussed the issue about regional self administration & decided how to reach out the Sidama people in all villages of Arbegona district. The attendees told the police forces that were encircling them whilst holding a meeting that they are a peaceful people who are doing their legitimate rights; thus they don't need any bodyguards around them and they further clarified that their presence won't intimidate them and wider Sidamas. Therefore, they told Police forces that they don't want to see them around. The police forces kept their distance although they didn't leave the area whilst the students gallantly discussed and decide who to do what, where and when, when they finally assigned individuals to take the said issues to clarify the rights of the Sidama people to their families, neighbours and beyond. The meeting was said peacefully & successfully completed with realistic actions plans in place.

In another development, a Sidama person (Techome Debebe-see from the link- http://www.sidama.org/persecution/2012-07-17-meles-authorites-still-terrorising-sidama-civilians-while-health-deteorates.pdf
) who was arrested in Aroressa district by Shiferaw's cousin on 16th of July 2012 was released yesterday by the Sidama people's united efforts that threatened regime's Aroressa renegade. He was finally arrived to his family member's at Daye town.

The regime's kangaroo court is preparing false witnesses to charge 5 Sidama people who were arrested yesterday in Dale districts in Yirgalem town. We'll up date Sidama people all over the world how such mockery of justice goes. Besides the Sidama people are pushing for their immediate and unconditional release with their united efforts. The Sidama people threatened the regime by clarifying that they never stop pushing forward with their quest to regional self determination &further insisted that they may be obliged to take further actions if the regime continually incriminates Sidama civilians who were claiming their constitutional rights.
