Proliferation of Political Organizations Does Not Address the Sidama National Question
Press Release by United Sidama Parties for Freedom and Justice (USPFJ)
April 4, 2014
...At the time when political opposition of the oppressed nations has
been significantly weakened in Ethiopia due to disagreements over
political objectives, the union of the three independent Sidama
political institutions under one umbrella was indeed a significant
success and was an envy of many. Nonetheless, to the shock and dismay of
many Sidama compatriots, we have witnessed in this last two months an
attempt by certain individuals to create a new political organization in
the name of the Sidama people: the “Sidama National Democratic
Movement”.
...This is not the time for duplication of political organizations in
the name of the Sidama society. This is the time for consolidation of
efforts to galvanize the limited resources to harness the struggle of
our society for self-determination. We warn the individuals behind the
botched attempt to form a new political organization NOT to use the name
of the Sidama society to form alliances with right wing chauvinist
organizations that are hell bent to reverse the democratic gains made
during the past two decades. Rest assured that the Sidama people will
gallantly guard, as they have done time and again in history, the
democratic gains achieved through their precious lives.
